General

What is Unique Pickups?

Unique Pickups is a peer-to-peer delivery platform that connects customers who need items delivered with verified nearby drivers. Think of it as "Uber for packages" - a seamless, on-demand delivery service.

How does it work?

Customers create delivery requests with pickup and delivery addresses. Drivers browse nearby requests and accept the ones they want. Real-time tracking keeps everyone informed, and QR code verification ensures secure pickup and delivery.

Is it safe?

Yes! All drivers undergo comprehensive background checks, ID verification, and vehicle/insurance validation. QR code verification ensures secure transactions, and our rating system helps maintain quality. We also have 24/7 support for any concerns.

Pricing is calculated based on distance, weight, and urgency. Base fee is $5, plus $1.50 per kilometer and $0.50 per pound. There's a 15% platform fee. Urgent deliveries have a 25-50% multiplier. See our pricing page for details.

Do I need to verify my identity?

Yes, customer verification is free and required before creating deliveries. It takes about 60 seconds and involves uploading your ID and taking a selfie. This helps ensure platform safety.
