How sending Sydney to Colombo works
Find a traveler flying Sydney to Colombo, describe your item and its weight, and send a request.

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to send a parcel from Sydney to Colombo?
Travelers on the Sydney to Colombo route set their own price per kilogram, typically around $20/kg. As a guide, a 5 kg parcel would cost roughly $100. You only pay once a traveler accepts your request, and the payment is held by Stripe until you confirm the item was delivered.
How long does delivery from Sydney to Colombo take?
Your item travels in a traveler's luggage on a flight they are already taking, so it can arrive in days rather than the weeks a standard courier may take. The exact timing depends on the drop-off date you arrange with the traveler, which is shown on every trip.
What items can't I send to Sri Lanka?
Anything that breaks Sri Lanka's import rules, plus Cendiago's own prohibited list (such as cash, weapons, hazardous goods and perishables), can't be sent. Every request is checked against customs rules and screened before a traveler sees it, so restricted items are filtered out in advance. This is general information, not legal or customs advice — check Sri Lanka's current regulations for your specific item. People commonly send clothing, documents, gifts and electronics.
How are travelers verified?
Every sender completes identity verification before they can request a traveler, and travelers can confirm their identity to earn a verified badge shown on their profile. Travelers also open, inspect and pack each item themselves, and your payment is held by Stripe until you confirm the item arrived.
Is it safe to send items from Sydney to Colombo with Cendiago?
Yes. Senders are identity-verified, every item is checked against customs rules and screened by AI before a traveler sees it, and your payment is protected — held by Stripe until you confirm delivery. You choose which traveler carries your item based on their verification and reviews.
