Pricing for Door-Step Pick-Up and Delivery Services
Understanding the costs and processes for door-step services
Introduction to Door-Step Services
Door-step services on AirJIT involve picking up or delivering parcels directly from or to the shipper's or recipient's location. This added convenience comes with additional costs, which are calculated based on distance and agreed terms between the traveler and the shipper.
Pricing Structure for Door-Step Pick-Up
- Base Fee: The minimum fee for door-step pick-up is $10 for the first 10 kilometers or less.
- Additional Distance: For distances beyond 10 kilometers, an additional $1 per kilometer is charged.
- Example: A pick-up location that is 15 kilometers away will cost $10 (base fee) + $5 (additional distance) = $15.
Pricing Structure for Door-Step Delivery
- Base Fee: The minimum fee for door-step delivery is $10 for the first 10 kilometers or less.
- Additional Distance: For distances beyond 10 kilometers, an additional $1 per kilometer is charged.
- Example: A delivery location that is 20 kilometers away will cost $10 (base fee) + $10 (additional distance) = $20.
Negotiating Fees with Shippers
-
Base Negotiation: The base fee of $10 is non-negotiable and should be paid directly as part of the door-step service fee. Travelers and shippers can negotiate the per kilometer rate beyond the first 10 kilometers.
-
Additional Charges: Any additional agreed amount beyond the base $10 should be claimed as part of the additional charges.
-
Agreement in Messaging: Ensure any agreed-upon fees are clearly documented in the AirJIT messaging system to avoid disputes.
-
Third-Party Services: If using a third-party service for pick-up or delivery, include these costs in the negotiation and ensure they are documented.
By understanding the pricing structure and processes for door-step pick-up and delivery services, travelers can provide added convenience to shippers while ensuring fair compensation for their efforts on AirJIT.
