Draft — not yet reviewed by a lawyer

GO! has not launched. These pages describe how the service is designed to work and are published early so the terms are visible before anyone is asked to accept them. They are not a contract, and they are not legal advice. Sections still awaiting legal input are marked in place.

Prohibited items

Last updated 27 August 2026

You accept this policy before a delivery can be created — the request cannot exist without it. This page is what you are accepting.

1. Never carried

GO! will not carry any of the following, under any circumstances, at any declared value.

ItemStatus
Illegal drugsNever carried.
Weapons and ammunitionNever carried.
ExplosivesNever carried.
Dangerous chemicalsNever carried.
Hazardous materialsNever carried.
Stolen goodsNever carried.
Live animalsNever carried at launch.
Human remainsNever carried.

2. Carried under conditions

These are legal to send and we will carry them, but only with an extra step. You are told which step before the delivery is accepted, not after a courier has arrived.

ItemCondition
Cash above a thresholdEnhanced verification of both sender and recipient is required.
Prescription medicationMay require documentation before the delivery is accepted.
AlcoholAge verification at the point of handover.

3. Allowed with care

ItemWhat to do
Fragile or high-value electronicsAccepted with a declared value and appropriate protection selected.
Perishable foodAccepted with time constraints on the delivery.

4. Size and weight limits

At launch in Harare, a package must be no more than 20 kg and no larger than 60 × 45 × 45 cm. That is what a motorcycle courier can carry safely, and it is a limit of the transport rather than of the service — it changes as other transport becomes available.

A package that fits no available transport is refused when you request the delivery. It is not priced and then declined at the door.

5. How this is enforced

  • You choose a package category from a list rather than typing a free description, so what you are sending is known before a price is quoted.
  • Descriptions are screened for terms that need a second look. A match causes a review by a person, not an automatic rejection — “battery” is not “bomb”.
  • You must accept this policy before the request can be created.
  • A courier who discovers on collection that a package is not what was described may refuse it, with no penalty to them, and report it.

6. If you send one anyway

Protection does not apply to prohibited or misrepresented items

If a package turns out to be something on this page, or something materially different from what was declared, delivery protection does not cover it. This is stated here, and it is applied at claim time.

Confirmed attempts to send a prohibited item are an enforcement matter and are handled under the acceptable use policy. Where the law requires it, they are reported.

Awaiting legal input

Jurisdiction-specific legality, and the reporting obligation.

What is legal to transport is not universal, and this list is configured per market. The Harare list above needs review against Zimbabwean law, and the circumstances in which GO! is obliged to report an attempt to the authorities need to be stated rather than implied.
