Send a parcel from Lyon to Abidjan
The Ivorian community of Lyon and its region no longer needs to go through Paris: travellers connect Lyon directly to Abidjan, and your parcel rides in their suitcase.
How it works
Describe your parcel in the app — weight, contents, photo, declared value. Verified travellers departing from Lyon (or Paris if you prefer a wider choice) offer their price. After acceptance, you hand the parcel over in person and every step is scanned all the way to Abidjan.
What it costs
Each traveller advertises their price per kilo; for parcels of a few kilos it is often better value than a classic carrier, and you know exactly who is carrying. The service commission (currently 5%) is shown before you confirm.
How long it takes
Allow about 6.5 hours for a direct Lyon–Abidjan flight. The parcel arrives with the traveller: the date is known at booking time, with no vague multi-week window.
Tracking and safety
Mandatory identity verification, payment in Stripe escrow released only after the recipient confirms, four timestamped and geolocated QR scans. If something goes wrong, you have 48 hours to open a dispute, investigated within 72 hours on evidence.
Frequently asked questions about this corridor
Are there often travellers between Lyon and Abidjan?
Lyon–Abidjan is one of Yadony's launch corridors. If no traveller departs from Lyon on your dates, the app also shows departures from Paris to Abidjan to widen the choice.
What can I send to Abidjan?
Anything legal and declared: clothes, non-regulated medicines, non-official documents, everyday products. Prohibited items include drugs, weapons, counterfeits, live animals and identity documents. The traveller sees your full declaration before accepting.
How is the payment protected?
You pay at acceptance, but the money is held by Stripe: the traveller is only paid after the recipient confirms delivery with a code received by SMS. If a cancellation happens before handover, you are refunded in full.
