If the dimension of the parcel does not match with the delivery order details, our delivery agents might notify Pickupp for order cancellation. In such a scenario, a transaction fee of 50% of the delivery fee will be charged.

Can Pickupp deliver fragile items?

If you're delivering fragile or irregular sized packages, please do mark the package as “Fragile & Handle with Care" in the notes section and reinforce it on the parcel to minimise any risk of breakage. Our delivery agents will take special care to ensure that the packages are delivered without damage.

In the event of any breakage, Pickupp will insure your delivery items up to SGD$100 (subject to the pricing plan you opt). The liability coverage will be based on the plan you made your last top up, click here for more details! Do note that we only provide insurance for businesses and not individual customers.

Can I send food and perishable products with Pickupp? How can I pack the food for delivery?

Yes, food and perishable products can be sent via Pickupp. Choose whether you wish to deliver in 2 hours (Express Delivery) or 4 hours (Same Day Delivery). Before the delivery, please ensure that the package is secured and properly packed for delivery. You should also indicate that your parcel is fragile and inform your agent of the parcel’s contents. However, kindly note that unless you’re a monthly or enterprise plan user, any damages incurred during the delivery will not be entitled to any insurance coverage. Refer to the best practices for food packaging here: - Minimise movement of items by filling extra space in your package with padding. - Use materials such as bubble wrap to provide protection and stabilise your food. - Seal all packaging, paper or plastic with tape For Frozen Food: - Appropriate insulation in sturdy insulated foam containers or bags is necessary. - Dry ice is recommended to keep food frozen.

For Meals: - Keep hot meals away from cold drinks and frozen desserts. - Cover sauce-based dishes with wrapping foil. For Baked Goods: - It is recommended to wrap baked goods with an airtight seal. - If possible, wrap each item individually and pack them snugly in a tin or other sturdy container

When will you pick-up my order? What is the pick-up process? Can I cancel my order?

When a request for delivery is made, the pick-up and drop-off will happen within 4 hours. For safety and proper identification of each parcel, you will need to either print and attach an invoice with a QR code or write down the order number and unique passcode (first 4 numerical digits of your order number) on your package. Our delivery agents will be required to either scan a QR code on the parcel or enter the unique order passcode upon arrival at pick-up point before they can begin the delivery process. A 50% of delivery fee will be charged if merchants cancel the delivery order after the agent has accepted the request or failed to collect the package at the pick-up location. If your order has expired without being accepted by a delivery agent, you will receive a full refund to your bank account. However, unless an order has expired, no other requests for refunds or cancellations will be entertained.
