your delivery option.

your delivery.
- Access the ParcelPal app for live tracking, so you can watch
our driver deliver your goods within the hour.
President and CEO Kelly Abbott
states, "We are extremely excited to go-live with our first partner
in the cannabis space, Kiaro. Customers no longer have to wait for
upwards of a week to safely receive their product. We are now one
step closer to becoming the Uber of Cannabis in Canada. I would like to thank both the
ParcelPal and Kiaro team for all the hard work completing this
project for our up coming launch." Mr. Abbott Continues: "We will
also be rolling out several verticals in the month of April within
the city of Saskatoon. We look
forward to expanding into additional cities in Saskatchewan and beyond with Kiaro."
CEO of Kiaro, Daniel Petrov, said
"Enabling the delivery of cannabis products within the hour is an
important milestone, as we look to legitimize the industry and
normalize cannabis use. The distribution agreement with PacelPal
improves product accessibility in Saskatchewan, and empowers Kiaro to enhance
life enjoyment for consumers across the province. Through the
accelerated delivery of strategically curated products, we hope to
inspire greater cannabis curiosity, exploration and education."
Customers who order cannabis or alcohol through the ParcelPal
platform will be required to upload and verify their identities.
Users that are under the necessary age within their jurisdictions
will not be allowed into this vertical on the application. The
identity verification system ensures that the person is of age, and
that the identity is in fact real. This identification is checked
twice -- once before and once upon delivery. Consumers who order
product will have to be the person that receives the order.
ParcelPal's technology complies with all local, provincial and
federal laws.
