Multiple customer deliveries is an on-demand Nairobi errand that works best when the customer prepares the order, authorization and handover details before requesting a rider.
Online sellers can reduce dispatch confusion by preparing a manifest before the rider arrives. Every parcel needs a unique customer, contact, amount and handover instruction.
When this errand can save time
This service suits customers who already know what must be collected, where it is located and who should receive it. It can help busy professionals, households, online sellers and offices avoid an unnecessary trip while keeping the physical handover recorded.

Payments, receipts and spending limits
Whenever possible, pay the seller directly and use the rider for collection and delivery. If purchasing or an approved balance forms part of the errand, set an exact spending limit and substitution rule. Require receipts. Never share an M-Pesa PIN, banking password, card PIN or account login with a rider.
Packaging and safe transport
The releasing shop, office or customer should package the item for the route. Seal parcels, label documents, protect fragile goods and separate food, medicine and chemicals. A motorcycle rider should not carry an oversized, leaking, dangerous or legally restricted load.
What happens when something changes?
Wrong labels, unavailable recipients and unrecorded cash collections create losses. Exceptions must remain attached to the correct order.
The safest response is to pause, contact the customer and record the instruction. A rider should not make an expensive substitution, accept a visibly wrong item or agree to new terms without approval.
Pickup and delivery confirmation
Use a recorded request with the named pickup, intended recipient and current status. At collection, confirm the reference and visible package condition. At delivery, hand the item to the intended person or authorised receiving point. Keep the completion record for returns, business reconciliation or later questions.
Frequently asked questions
Can I add another stop after the rider starts?
Ask through the approved service channel. An added stop changes the route, time and potentially the charge, and may not be suitable for the items already being carried.
Can the rider choose products for me?
Only within clear, pre-approved alternatives and budget limits. For medicine, technical parts, clothing sizes or high-value products, the customer or qualified seller must make the decision.
