Description
Delivero is an in-game business in Civcraft. It is a private, independent company which can ship your goods from one end of the map to the other at a very low cost!
Products and Services
For 5i per 1000 blocks traveled, up to 27 inventory slots of goods can be transported from anywhere to anywhere!
Structure
Waldort88 founded the company and was the effective CEO until the October Update when it was announced Lord_Pericorp would be taking over the position.
Chief Couriers at Delivero:
August: Waldorf88
September: Waldorf88
October: Lord_Pericorp
November: Lord_Pericorp

A group of six players comprised the core group of Delivero, making most of the deliveries and efforts for the business.
History
Delivero publicly announced itself on the Civcraft subreddit on the 6th of August, 2013. The original price charged for up to an inventory of items was "2i per 1000 blocks traveled", which was by far the cheapest and most formal company to offer shipping and transportation at the time. Following its founding, a small wave of companies sprung up offering shipping and transportation as well, but Delivero outlived and outcompeted every single one of them in some cases buying them out or undercutting their prices.
The price was eventually raised to 5i per 1000 blocks traveled, but they remained the cheapest and most trustworthy company for shipping items.
Delivero even undertook market research to improve its efficiency.
Notable couriers included JPRanger who for a time was Chief Courier at the company and Defmork who was a regional courier in the minus plus and was Delivero's longest serving courier after Lord_Pericorp.
With much sadness from the community, Delivero officially shut down on the 8th of January, 2014, largely due to its owner's (Lord_Pericorp) lack of time for the company, inability to find long-term employees, and desire to try something new.
While closed for business Delivero continued to engage in server activities. Delivero took the highly contested Bohr Island by "force" in late January. This would mark the first of former courier meet ups.
Reviews
"Due to an accidental miscalculation of location i ended up 12000 blocks away from home. [... Delivero saved my life. I contacted delivero right after the incident and asked them to recover my items as i was not able to. I cannot thank them enough. They brought back all of my valuables (over 200d worth of items), not a single thing touched, at a low price, and at a moments notice. How do you thank someone enough for that?"] -lightning1789, one quick-thinking player
