Membership Benefits

Why should you become a member?

Direct Work

Work found on our platform Is generated internally, you'll have instant access to work booked by our own established client base. Reviews.co.uk

Job Alerts

Job alerts by SMS and email for work near you. With tracking on, that means near where you are right now, not just near home. Apply in one tap from the app.

Fair Allocation

We are a direct platform, not an exchange. No race to be first and no undercutting: the job goes to the courier who can be there on time and does what they say. Your standard rate is 60% of what the customer pays.

How are jobs allocated?

A customer books a job with us directly. If it is near you, you get an alert. Open it in the app, tell us when you could be at the collection, and apply. That is all you need to do. Jobs are allocated automatically within minutes, at any hour of the day, and our team keeps an eye on every one. Nobody has to call you back. We are a direct platform, not an exchange: the work is ours, nobody is passing it down a chain, and you are not bidding against hundreds of subcontractors. There is no race to be first and no undercutting. The job goes to the courier who can be there on time and does what they say, not to the fastest finger or the lowest price. Your standard rate is 60% of what the customer pays. You can ask for more and say why. If the job is yours, it appears in your app and you get an SMS and email with the details. If you cannot do it after all, release it straight away. Bid Insights in the app shows you who else applied and why you were or were not assigned. No more guessing.

Your record

Every job you complete builds your record: turning up on time, keeping the jobs you take and keeping tracking on. We look at it every time a job is allocated, so a good record gets you more work. Priority is the top of the ladder. It is earned job by job, and Priority couriers are picked first.

Is Goods In Transit Required?

You don't need to have Goods In Transit Insurance In order to join as a member, we have our own policy which will cover you up to the value of £1000 If you are unable to produce your own policy, limited to our own work. However, the trade off Is that you will be restricted from covering work where your own Goods In Transit Insurance Is required, we refer to these as Level 2 jobs. Goods in transit insurance covers goods against loss or damage while being moved from one place to another, these goods can be carried by individuals in their own vehicle, self-employed drivers or by third party carriers. We recommend Goods In Transit Insurance In order to get the most out of our platform, but If you decide to get the insurance at a later stage, send us your policy schedule and we'll remove the barrier for Level 2 jobs free of charge. As a self employed courier, it is your own responsibility to insure yourself for the purpose of using your own vehicle as a courier.

On an exchange you apply for a job and hear nothing: no idea who else applied, or why it went to someone else. We show you.

Open Bid Insights on any job you have applied for and see where you stand, updated as applications come in. It comes from the same system that allocates the work, so what it tells you is what actually decides the job.

  • A plain answer on every job: good chance, okay chance or unlikely this time
  • See who else has applied, anonymously, and what counts in your favour
  • Find out why you were or were not assigned, then learn how to be assigned more often

Where You Stand

Open any job you have applied for and see whether you have a good chance, an okay chance or are unlikely this time, updated as applications come in.

Who Else Applied

See every application on the same job: who is nearby, who has tracking on, who is a new member, and when we have had to look to other platforms, which always come behind our own members. It is anonymous: no names, no prices, just a clear picture.

Why You Were or Were Not Assigned

Once a job is allocated, see how your application compared on rate, distance and tracking. Clear, honest feedback instead of guessing.

Your Rate

We look at your own history and show you the rate range you are assigned at most often, so you can ask with confidence.

Your Progress

An overall score, how often you are assigned, how accurate your ETAs are, and your trend over 90 days.

Plain Advice

Lexi, the system behind every allocation, reviews your applications and tells you in plain English how to be assigned more of the work you want.
