From local to international
Whether you are a private individual, a company with lots of parcels to handle, a retailer, an e-retailer, a logistics company, we are here to open up a worldwide marketplace for you with our proprietary matching and pricing algorithm, and service provider users and end client users on either end of the platform. This can range from a sending a package across town in record speed and at an unbeatable price to sourcing a fridge from the other end of the globe. We calculate, they bid, you choose!
Send and collect anything, from a local parcel with on-demand Stork couriers, to national and international deliveries with Stork travelers who have a trip matching your delivery route.
Ask for any good you want, from something around the corner because you’re too busy or something around the globe because you can’t get it locally. Storks will get it for you, and deliver it directly to your doorstep!

It’s December 2015. I’m at sitting at a café and thinking I’ve had it up to here with these CEP companies.
My Shanghai – Paris parcel took 5 days instead of the 3 promised. First off, I waited all day for the delivery guy to come and pick up my package. Like I’ve got nothing better to do. Then my package was misplaced in transit. My recipient did not receive the appropriate updates and waited all day for delivery. Two days later, the package finally arrived. Not at my recipient’s address though. He wasn’t there and didn’t get updates so had to pick it up from the post office which was closed on the day of. Oh yeah, and it was damaged.
Other example. I’ve just landed in Italy. I make my way to the car rental desk to check in for the car I booked. One problem, my driver’s license stayed home…. The panic sinks in… What about my Tuscan road trip?! I ask for an express delivery company. It’s minimum 5 days’ wait because the weekend is coming. Or I can pay 2000€ if I want to ask one of their employee to rush it for me from Paris (I paid 100 bucks for my flight by the way.)
I have a busy schedule and struggle to find time to pick up my laundry. I often need to send urgent documents within the hour. I’m making dinner and realize I forgot an ingredient, but I’m already in the middle of prepping …
I could go on for hours with many more examples, but I won’t. That’s how STORK came to mind, thank you guys.
I gave the project more thought and got in touch with Alexis, a longtime friend from business school, to bring him on board as CFO/COO. He had some “delivery gone wrong” stories of his own.
We had ourselves a summer camp and developed the full market analysis, positioning and service proposition, financials, the storyboard of the app, the story …
We then called on Rumen & Todor whom I met at an entrepreneurial event in 2011. We had kept in touch since and were always bouncing ideas off one another. They joined the team as Co-CTOs with their respective specialties. They are both entrepreneurs in the digital world.
We then got in touch with Roger Crook. He is the former Global CEO of DHL Global Forwarding, of DHL Express and a former board member of DHL. 15 days later he was in, bringing his experience, network, vision, and last but not least seed investment to get our project off the ground.
Later on, Hristo & Stanislav, partners of Todor & Rumen, joined the team to lead the tech development of STORK.
We then structured the Paris, NY, and Sofia offices to accelerate our development.
Now there’s 20 of us at Stork, and counting.
