fetchie

Buy from strangers, safely.

Fetchie holds your payment, verifies the item with photos, and delivers it to your door. Your card is only charged after you approve the item on arrival. Same-day protected delivery across Charleston metro. Cross-zone coming soon.

How it works

1

You book and authorize

Enter the item, seller, and delivery address. We authorize your card but don't charge it yet.

2

Seller uploads photos, driver picks up

Seller uploads 5 guided photos (front, back, left, right, any damage). Driver picks up and delivers.

3

You approve on arrival, then we charge

You confirm the item matches the photos. Only then does your card get charged.

Why Fetchie

Your money is protected

Unlike Zelle, Venmo, or CashApp, Fetchie doesn't release your payment until you've seen the item in person and approved it.

No fake listings

Every item is photographed by the seller with timestamped, geotagged photos from 5 angles before pickup. You see exactly what you're getting.

No risky meetups

No parking lot handoffs, no strangers at your door with cash, no wondering if the address is real. We handle the physical exchange.

Book a protected delivery

Buyer or seller can start the booking. We hold the payment, verify the item with photos, and only release funds once the buyer approves.

Item price$0.00
Protected transaction fee$30.00includes payment hold, photo verification, and delivery

Your card is authorized now, charged only after you approve the item. Payments secured by Stripe — the same processor Shopify, Lyft, and Substack use.

Questions

When is my card actually charged?

Only after you receive the item and confirm it matches the seller's photos. If you don't approve, the authorization is released and you're not charged.

What if the item isn't as described?

Don't approve the delivery. The authorization is released within 1-7 days depending on your bank, and we work with you and the seller to resolve it.

Is my payment info safe?

Yes. Payments run through Stripe, the same processor used by Amazon, Shopify, and Lyft. Fetchie never sees or stores your card number.
