Please bear with us and accept our sincere apologies if there're delays as we work hard to meet your delivery orders. - We reserve the right to turn down or cancel deliveries to high-risk or protected areas such as hospitals and schools if necessary. However, please be assured that we will still do our best to fulfil your delivery requests. - Pickupp will continue to encourage contactless delivery, where recipients will no longer be asked for their e-signature as proof of delivery until further notice. - To prevent further contact, you are strongly encouraged to leave instructions for delivery agents to leave parcels in front of the door. You can do so by indicating this in the Delivery Note when you create your order. Photo proof of delivery still has to be taken and will be made available on our dashboard. - Should you have any queries/concerns, please contact us via Live Chat.
