The short answer
Flippit is a turnkey service: a red drop box, a bubble pouch, a QR to pay, and a flat fee to ship anywhere in the continental US. KeepSafe puts the same moment inside your own operation: guests self-serve by QR in under 30 seconds, your team decides what ships, and the item goes straight from your venue to the guest. Boomerang offers multiple revenue-share opportunities, and partners on average earn back upwards of 25% of their annual contract value every year.
KeepSafe may suit you if
- You want no third-party hardware in your space
- You want your own staff and policies to decide what ships
- You want it at stadium gates, theme park bag check or festivals as well as airports

Job by job
Keeping the line moving
Both avoid forms at the checkpoint. With KeepSafe, the guest does everything on their own phone in under 30 seconds and staff never stop to help, because the review happens later in a queue.
Control over what leaves your building
With KeepSafe your team confirms each item as shippable or not, can ask the guest a question, and every decision is recorded. Unshippable items get pickup, an authorized pickup person or discard, and anything unresolved rolls off on your timeline.
Direct from venue to guest
Once the guest pays by a verified link, the label generates automatically and the item ships from your venue to the guest, with tracking.
Switching to KeepSafe
There is no hardware to remove or install. We send a starter kit of bags, tags and co-branded signage, set up the KeepSafe queue in your portal and train the team.

Questions
How does KeepSafe work for the guest?
The guest grabs a tagged bag, scans the QR, enters contact details and a shipping address and snaps a photo, with no app and no account. They keep half of the tear-away tag and move on. Your team reviews items later in a dedicated KeepSafe queue.
Is KeepSafe approved by TSA?
No. KeepSafe is run by the venue, with its own staff, at its own location. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by any government screening agency.
What if an item cannot be shipped?
Your team marks it not shippable with a preset reason, and the guest chooses in-person pickup, an authorized pickup person or discard. Anything left unresolved rolls off on your timeline.
How is KeepSafe priced?
KeepSafe is its own product with its own annual subscription, and runs on its own or alongside Boomerang in the same portal. Guests pay shipping. Boomerang offers multiple revenue-share opportunities, and partners on average earn back upwards of 25% of their annual contract value every year.
