Around the city

A bouquet, some keys, the groceries. By motorbike, by bike, or on foot.

Where is it picked up from?

AddressStreet, number, and city for pickup. The more precise, the fewer calls: the person picking it up goes straight to the entrance instead of circling around. The floor and door go below, in the instructions.

Name

Mobile phoneA mobile phone that rings, with the country code if outside Spain. The carrier calls upon arriving at the entrance. An office landline won't work: it doesn't receive messages and there may be no one there at that time.

EmailWe'll notify you there when the first offer arrives and when the shipment is on its way. You'll also receive the payment receipt. Instructions (floor, door, schedule…)Floor, door, intercom, times when someone is there, whether to call ahead, or if the entrance is under construction. Anything that avoids a wasted trip.

Where is it going to?

AddressWhere it needs to be dropped off. If it's a business, also include the company name: in industrial estates, numbers aren't always visible.

Name

Mobile phoneThe recipient's mobile. That's the number the carrier calls when they're downstairs. If they don't have one, use yours and stay available: without a phone, the delivery falls through at the last step.

What needs to be carried?Say what it really is: 'bouquet of flowers,' 'two boxes of books,' 'a washing machine.' This determines who bids and with what vehicle. A nice but vague description might bring a motorcycle for a wardrobe.

How big is it?Select based on the largest item you're shipping. Only carriers with a suitable vehicle see your shipment: a bicycle courier won't be shown moves, and you won't see anyone who can't handle it.

How many items?How many separate pieces need to be loaded and unloaded. Three small boxes aren't the same as one large one: it changes the time and therefore the price they'll ask.

CityThe city it departs from. This shows the shipment to carriers working in that area.

When is it picked up?When it can be picked up. Leave it empty if it doesn't matter and you want it as soon as possible: that way more people bid. How much time do we allow for offers?How long they have to send you prices. With six hours, you'll get fewer offers but sooner; with three days, you'll get more and they're usually cheaper. If you don't choose by the end of the period, the cheapest one is selected.

How it works. Post your shipment and carriers will send you their price: you'll see how much each one asks, with what vehicle, their rating, and the deliveries they've completed. You choose. If you don't choose before the deadline, the cheapest offer is selected.

Nothing is charged when you post. When you choose, the amount is held on your card and only charged once the delivery is completed.
