Redirecting to a Hubbed Location — Runner Guidelines

3 min. readlast update: 04.09.2026

Sometimes, a parcel can’t be delivered directly to the customer. In these cases, GoPeople allows you to redirect deliveries to a Hubbed location, where the recipient can later collect their parcel.


🏪 What Is a Hubbed Location?

Hubbed is a network of local pickup points — like pharmacies, newsagencies, and convenience stores — where customers can collect parcels if home delivery isn’t possible.

Think of it like a local post office for modern deliveries.
Hubbed locations are secure, accessible, and integrated with GoPeople to ensure proper tracking and customer convenience.


🔁 When Should You Redirect to a Hubbed Location?

You may redirect a parcel only if all of the following apply:

✅ Appropriate Situations:

  • The recipient is unresponsive, and there's no safe place to leave the parcel

  • The job requires a signature or does not allow ATL (Authority to Leave)
    (even if there is a safe place)

  • A Hubbed location is available for that delivery in the GoPeople Runner App


What If the Hubbed Location Is Closed?

  1. Take a clear photo showing the store is closed (e.g. shutter down, “Closed” sign)

  2. Tag the job as “Cannot Deliver”

  3. Do NOT leave the parcel outside or return later


🛑 What If the Hubbed Staff Rejects the Parcel?

If the Hubbed location won’t accept the item:

  1. In the app, select “Not Deliverable”

  2. Choose “Hubbed Reject”

  3. Leave a clear explanation (e.g. “Too large”, “Store no longer accepts Hubbed”)

⚠️ The GoPeople team will follow up with the store, so ensure your comment is accurate and honest.


🚚 How to Redirect to a Hubbed Location (Step-by-Step)

  1. Tag the job as “Cannot Deliver” 

  2. Select “To Hubbed”

  3. Enter the reason for redirection (e.g. “Goods can be seen from the street")

  4. Press “Continue Redirect to Parcel Point”

  5. Take a photo of the street or door number as proof that you visited the location.
  6. The Hubbed address will appear — follow the address in the app (not the parcel label)


📸 Proof of Delivery (POD) Requirements

Take three photos:

  1. 📦 The parcel itself

  2. 🏪 The Hubbed store with signage

  3. 🧾 The parcel placed on the counter inside the store

Upload these to finalise the delivery.


🗣️ Let the Hubbed Staff Know

Say:

“This is a Directed Parcel from GoPeople for customer to pickup.”

Wait for them to scan or confirm the parcel, if required.


Finalise the Job

  • Mark the job as “Delivery Made”

  • Upload all required POD photos


⚠️ No Retrieval After Drop-Off

Once the parcel is redirected and dropped at a Hubbed location:

  • It cannot be retrieved

  • Even if the customer requests redelivery later, it cannot be reversed

Be absolutely sure before confirming redirection.


Still Not Sure?

If you're unsure whether Hubbed redirection is allowed for a specific delivery, or a location isn’t listed, contact GoPeople Support before proceeding.


Thank you for following these guidelines and delivering with care and professionalism! 🚗📮📷
