A few ways to use it
Examples to help you describe a request. Suitability depends on the item, route and service availability.
- A grocery top-up
- Describe the essentials you need, the shop and your budget. Include what to do if an item is unavailable.
- A collection from a shop
- Collect an order you have already arranged. Add the collection reference and make sure the shop knows someone will collect it.
- A document run
- Collect or drop off a sealed document. Include the recipient, opening hours and any reception instructions.
- A small everyday pickup
- Collect an item from someone you know and bring it to you. Describe its size and how the handover should work.
Plan the request
A clear description helps distinguish a simple pickup from a task that also needs shopping, waiting or an extra stop.
Describe what needs doing
List the task, the item and any essential instructions. For a purchase, include the spending limit and acceptable substitutions.
Set pickup and dropoff
Use the calculator to choose the two locations and a transport mode suited to the request. Check that the route matches what you need.
Review the route estimate
Read the price breakdown. Use the route estimate to plan your budget, then review the full task details in the app.
Continue in the app

Understand the price
The calculator estimates the route using your locations, service choice and transport mode. Change those details to compare suitable options.
Money spent buying items is separate from transporting them. Shopping, waiting or additional stops can change the scope of an errand; describe them clearly and check the final details in the app.
Read the payments and refunds policyBefore you send
Choose items that can be carried legally and appropriately. Check opening hours, permissions and the recipient’s availability. Requests involving restricted goods or special handling need particular care; do not assume that describing an item makes it eligible.
