Confirm now and save a future delivery mix up
Every courier using a delivery app knows about a delivery mix up. While not as common as they once were, they do still happen. Additionally, they can happen without any warning. There is no way to detect the delivery mix up, before the courier arrives to pick up the cargo. In fact, many merchants are not aware there is a mix up until the courier shows up.
With this in mind, it is true that fewer delivery mix ups, would benefit every courier. Therefore, it is especially important for the courier to help improve the odds. Along with timely pickups, and accurate completions, a thorough follow through, is important.
Similarly, there are steps for the courier to complete, through each step of the delivery. In most cases, it isn’t possible to proceed in the app, without completing the previous step. In fact, the whole system tries to be fail safe. However, there are times, or circumstances, when it’s possible to miss a step. And now the delivery resides in the courier’s queue.
Confirm Now and Save
With each pickup, a courier has to complete a step. This is for a delivery app. Respectively. In fact, couriers may have noticed an uptick in pickup reminders. This is an effort to improve the accuracy of the courier’s pickup. It is also an excellent way to confirm that the cargo was picked up. By the courier it was assigned to.
Furthermore, this removes the order from the queue. At this point the delivery should be almost complete. However, there are times when the delivery is already complete. Or being completed. This is the mix up. It is also a big reason why more and more merchants, are asking for proof of confirmation. Couriers should be aware that it is also part of a larger effort to try and curb theft.
With this in mind, couriers can help by making sure to confirm now. Merchant staff may ask for the courier to confirm the pickup, while standing there. Couriers can help by checking for all the items and then pressing the confirm now button.
Delivery Mix Up
Once the courier presses the confirm now button, the pickup can be marked complete. Additionally it is out of the offers queue. This means the offer is no longer available. However a pickup that was not confirmed, can remain in the queue for a couple of rounds.
Unsuspecting couriers come along, and ultimately help clear the mix up. Likewise the support staff for the apps has improved the process for handling the mix ups. Especially now that more merchants are checking for the pickup confirmation. Indeed, it is far better to confirm now and save a future delivery mix up. Stay safe out there.
