Is it just me or is there a remarkable increase on here of jobs of less than 10 mile (some even a mile). How much do these pay I wonder? Do you have minimum charges? I know I do.

175643That might be something to do with me :)
To answer your question, here is the rate card for our members: Retail Sameday Rates
Regarding the jobs posted on here, well if we cannot cover it with one of our own members, then the best offer from mtvan gets the job.
Long Services
10314And with most Couriers having a minimum charge varying from £10-£25 (and some more than that) you could argue that these have little to no interest and are therefore clogging up the newsfeed and "courier work" pages.

As I said, best offer on mtvan gets the job :)

1737[name]. I think the point is most people's minimum charge exceeds what YOU are getting paid never mind what the courier would be paid, so it seems pointless posting them on here.

Posting them on here has helped us cover a few 'difficult' jobs so far, so it's working for us and working for those who have done the jobs.
We ask nothing more than you put forward your best price, that's all :)

780My last paper round paid me 17/6d per week, in today's money that would be a lot more than some of these 'retail sameday' jobs!
