Kwip
Kwip is a courier delivery service designed for online shops in Malta. It collects parcels directly from a merchant's shop when an order is ready and delivers them to customers the next day. The service starts from €3.99 per drop excluding VAT, with Kwip providing its own vans, drivers, and routing rather than leaving delivery to the merchant. The service gives customers tracking updates through WhatsApp or SMS, aiming to replace the ad-hoc coordination that many Maltese e-commerce sellers currently use, such as WhatsApp messages, spreadsheets, and phone calls. Kwip positions the delivery experience as the last thing a customer remembers about a shop, and says it manages the driving, loading, and ringing on behalf of merchants. Kwip is described as launching soon in Malta and operates Monday to Saturday, 9am to 9pm. Merchants can contact the company via WhatsApp or email. Pricing details beyond the per-drop rate are not publicly specified, and there is no public GitHub repository or technical documentation available for the service.
