Delivery Partner Guidelines

1. Customer Instructions

  • Customers must provide clear and concise delivery instructions, including a safe drop zone that does not require contact.

2. Safe Drop Zones Must Be:

  • Well-lit and easily accessible.
  • Free from obstructions.
  • Free of loose animals (drivers will not enter if dogs are present).

3. Rural Deliveries

  • Drivers use discretion for unpaved, steep, long, or dimly lit driveways.
  • If the house is not visible from the road, the parcel will be left at the safest roadside spot.

4. Customer Contact

  • Customer contact is not guaranteed, especially for night-time deliveries.
  • Customers should rely on automated SMS notifications instead of expecting a call from the driver.

5. Business Deliveries

  • Should be scheduled during daytime for better access.
  • Ensure the business name is in a separate field from the address.

6. Default Drop Spots

  • Front door is the default delivery spot.
  • Alternative locations can be accommodated but remain at the driver’s discretion.

7. Overnight Deliveries

  • Homes/Townhouses: Delivered to the front/unit door (not back doors).
  • Apartments: If accessible, delivered to the unit door; if secure, left under the intercom.

8. Daytime Deliveries

  • Drivers will attempt to buzz once.
  • Apartments: If accessible, delivered to unit door; otherwise, left under the intercom.

9. Driver Limitations

  • Drivers will not enter properties, open garage doors, or place items inside.
  • Drivers will not open boxes or remove items.
  • Items will not be dropped over fences, especially high or solid fences.
  1. Delivery windows
  • Delivery times are not guaranteed; tracking details will be provided 24 hours before delivery.
  • Deliveries can occur at any time within the selected delivery window, and specific times cannot be requested. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure they can receive their delivery.
  • Tracking times may change within the selected delivery window
