Pricing factors
What affects the cost
Distance
Most delivery rates scale with distance — a short local run costs less than a longer cross-city trip.
Item size & weight
Small envelopes and packages cost less to move than bulky or heavy items requiring more careful handling.
Urgency
Rush or same-time delivery requests may cost more than a delivery scheduled with flexible timing.
Number of stops
Multiple pickups or drop-offs in one trip typically cost more than a single point-to-point delivery.
Conditions
Traffic, weather, and time of day can affect availability and, in some cases, the quoted rate.
FAQ
Common questions about delivery costs
How much does a local delivery cost in the Philippines?
A short local delivery (within about 5km) typically costs ₱80–₱150 for a small to medium package. Rates increase with distance and item size.
Does the delivery rider cover the cost of items I ask them to buy?
No — for grocery or store pickups, you cover the cost of the items themselves. The delivery fee only covers the rider's time and transport.
Can I request multiple stops in one delivery?
Yes, though this usually costs more than a single point-to-point delivery. Confirm the full route and price with the rider in chat before booking.
Can I negotiate the delivery price?
Yes — price is agreed directly with the rider in chat, so there's room to discuss distance, stops, or timing that affects the rate before you confirm.
