Posta is a platform that enables on-demand mail. Users can send and receive things with a touch of a button on the Posta mobile application. Posta offers real-time tracking, text message notifications, and security code confirmations. The Posta mobile application will be available on the iTunes Store by November 2018. The first market that Posta will launch in is Chicago (Roosevelt to Division and The Lake to Ashland).
Posta is now accepting applications for Posta Partners. Posta Partners are the contractors that deliver things on the Posta mobile application.

Posta limits users on the platform to deliveries that do not exceed 25 pounds, and the total contents must fit inside a standard sized milk crate. Furthermore, Posta operates in compact markets expanding the amount of deliveries per hour, which enables Posta Partners to maximize earnings.

Applicants will submit the application then complete an informational questionnaire. Once this is complete, applicants will undergo a background check. Successful applicants will gain access to the Posta Partner platform, and can begin earning!
