Abstract

Peer-to-peer (P2P) crowdsourced delivery is considered one of the services offered through the crowdsourced delivery platform by pairing locals willing to dispatch small packages and parcels with dedicated couriers or commuters travelling the same way. The main aim of this research is to assess the viability of the crowdsourced delivery notion in Egypt through a P2P platform to link parcel owners and commuters who are willing to participate in such a process for an easy, smooth, quick, and ecological parcel delivery. This study is considered an exploratory analysis adopting a deductive approach and relying on quantitative research methodology based on a quantitative data collection method using a questionnaire. The respondents' reactions towards applying such innovation in Egypt were quite encouraging and promised great chances of success. This research adds to the concept of crowdsourcing delivery in Egypt, while critically exploring opportunities and challenges for all stakeholders involved in the P2P process.
