“Connect you with travelers to buy the unique items you've always wanted.”
Muber is an online marketplace that connects you to travelers to buy the unique and hard-to-find items you've always wanted. Whether it's chocolate from Belgium, anime comics from Japan or a book you want to read in your own native language, Muber lets you get the item you want while travelers can earn extra income enough to cover up hotel fees, taxi cabs or other expenses. You either post a request of the item or if you're traveling soon, share your travel details for other people to see.
