FAQ
Common questions about errand costs
How much does it cost to hire someone for grocery shopping?
Grocery or store shopping errands typically cost ₱100–₱200 for the service itself, separate from the cost of the items purchased.
Do I need to give money upfront for purchases?
Yes — for errands involving purchases or bill payments, you agree on the amount and reimbursement method with the worker in chat before they start the errand.
Can I combine multiple errands in one booking?
Yes, many customers bundle several small errands (grocery run, bill payment, pickup) into a single booking, which is often more cost-effective than separate bookings.
What if the errand takes longer than expected?
If the scope changes mid-errand — like an unexpectedly long queue or an extra stop — that should be discussed and agreed with the worker before they continue, not added on afterward.
