How will this site prevent travellers from being used as drug-mules? I'd be very cautious of carrying goods for somebody else on a flight.

The answer may be the 'community ratings' but how often does somebody need something shipped internationally? I doubt it is often enough.

I currently live in Australia, and I can get anything I want from Amazon, shipped fairly cheaply (for things that I want to buy). For my own belongings, that I've left in Canada, I have to go get them out of storage anyway, and they're all too big to have somebody put in their suitcase.

I think you're looking at too small a market with too much risk and not enough repeat business, but I would have said the same of AirBnB.
