Yes, itโs real! You can actually get paid just to receive packages at your doorstep. This is one of those crazy-true side hustles most people still donโt know about. Apps like **PackagePortal**, **Receivables.io**, and even pilot programs in India now pay users to become **โpackage endpointsโ** for quality-check logistics.
### โ
How It Works:
– You sign up on the app
– They send test shipments to your address (empty boxes or test products)
– When the delivery arrives, you scan the barcode and verify delivery
– You get paid a small amount per scan
### ๐ธ Earning Potential:
– โน25โโน75 per package
– 2โ6 packages per week = โน500โโน1800/month
– Zero cost to you, no shipping needed
### ๐ Is It Safe?
Yes! These are dummy/test packages used to validate couriers, delivery timelines, and fraud control systems. No sensitive data involved.
### ๐ฑ Top Apps:
– **PackagePortal** โ invite-only for now
– **Receivables.io** โ international beta
– **ShipTrack Pilot** โ India-focused test network
### ๐ฆ Who Is This For?
If you work from home, are retired, or just happen to be at home during the day โ this is ideal. You donโt even need to open the box or do anything else.
Some platforms even ask you to photograph the packaging to report courier damage, and they **pay extra** for that!

### ๐ Why Do Companies Pay for This?
Logistics is a huge cost for companies, and testing delivery performance is **critical** before expanding to new regions.
Instead of paying full warehouses, they rely on **real users** in normal neighborhoods.
You help them track things like:
– Courier speed
– Damage to packaging
– Scan performance
– Delivery accuracy

### ๐ฌ Real User Experience:

### ๐ Final Verdict:
This method is:
โ
Legit

You wonโt become rich, but โน1500โโน2000/month **for doing nothing but receiving packages** is a solid boost.
