What are Door-Step and Shop on Demand Services?​

Door-step services involve travelers collecting parcels directly from the shipper's location and delivering them to the receiver's address. Shop on Demand services involve travelers purchasing items on behalf of the shipper and delivering them.

How It Works​

Door-Step Services​

  1. Shipper Agreement: Ensure the shipper agrees to pay for the door-step service.
  2. Add Service: Travelers can offer door-step service for specific parcels via the AirJIT app or website.
  3. Pick-Up: Collect parcels from the shipper's location at the agreed time.
  4. Drop-Off: Deliver parcels to the recipient's address.

Shop on Demand Services​

  1. Offer Service: Travelers indicate their willingness to shop for items.
  2. Shipper Request: Shippers request the traveler to purchase specific items.
  3. Purchase Items: Traveler buys the requested items.
  4. Delivery: Deliver the purchased items to the shipper's recipient.

Earning Potential​

Offering door-step and shop on demand services increases the traveler's earning potential:

  • Door-Step Service Fee: Travelers can charge a fee for the convenience of pick-up and delivery from/to the shipper's location.
  • Shop on Demand Fee: Travelers earn by shopping for items and delivering them, which includes the cost of the items and an additional service fee.

What Happens If Missed​

Door-Step Services​

  • Missed Pick-Up: Communicate with the shipper to rearrange the pick-up. If the shipper is a no-show, report it and cancel the pick-up.
  • Missed Drop-Off: If you cannot deliver on time, arrange a new delivery time or leave the parcel at a secure location.

Shop on Demand Services​

  • Failed Purchase: Notify the shipper immediately if you cannot purchase the requested items.
  • Missed Delivery: Arrange a new delivery time with the recipient. Ensure the items are stored securely until delivery.

Responsibilities​

  • Travelers: Responsible for timely pick-up, purchase, and delivery of parcels or items.
  • Shippers: Responsible for providing accurate pick-up and delivery addresses and ensuring availability.

Communication​

Effective communication is crucial for successful door-step and shop on demand services. Ensure that:

  • Pick-up and drop-off times and locations are confirmed.
  • Contact information is exchanged for easy communication.
  • Any changes or delays are promptly communicated to avoid misunderstandings.

Unique Codes and PINs​

Each trip has unique code numbers for pick-ups and PIN codes for drop-offs, verifying that the correct person is collecting or delivering the parcel. Shippers also have their own codes for verification.
