What are runs?

Runs are a feature of GoPeople's GoBUNDLE service. With this service, GoPeople offers Senders the option to hire a Runner for several hours to complete any jobs assigned to the Runner.

The main benefits of runs to Runners are that they offer Runners more hours and more regular and stable work. This makes them popular amongst Runners - so apply for them early!

What Happens During A Run?

Once a Sender has booked a run with GoPeople, we will publish it to our Runners. Senders have until 15 minutes before the start of the run to upload all their jobs. Our system will then take a few minutes to group them, and they will then be pushed to the Run Runner.

The Runner will then receive information concerning the destination of the delivery (or deliveries), the type (or types) of the parcel they will be delivered, any further instructions that a Sender may have for the Runner, and most importantly, the routing.

Also, during a Run, a Runner will use your best endeavours to complete the run within the defined timeframe.

What's Routing?

Routing is a fancy word that means telling a Runner where they're going, how they'll get there, and how long it should take.

At GoPeople, we do all the routing in our office, so Runners won't have to worry about which road to take to get to their destination. If a Runner has to deliver to several addresses in a row, GoPeople will give you a route to get you to all those addresses and back to the Sender.

All the routing information will be sent through to your phone.

How Do I Qualify For A Run?

Any Runner, new or experienced. The more experience you have, the more likely you will be allocated to a Run. Please read our delivery guidelines and  Pick Up Process Training Video and Drop Off Process Training Video to understand how to do your job best!

If a Run is assigned to a first-time Runner, we will call them to see if they understand how GoPeople works. If that isn’t the case, we’ll reassign the Run to someone else.

Very Important Dos And Don'ts:

1. Turn up to your Run on time! Senders pay according to the EWT, so you won't get paid extra if you take longer than EWT.
2. Jobs are assigned to Runners at the start of their Run. If you don't see any jobs when your Run starts, please get in touch with us immediately.
3. Use the routing we give you. It has been specifically designed to get Runners to their location(s) on time. If it says it'll take 3 hours, we've told the Senders it will take 3 hours.
4. As with everything at GoPeople, we understand that sometimes things can go wrong. A Runner's vehicle may break down; a Runner may have an accident or a parcel get damaged during delivery. If anything goes wrong like this, please get in touch with us immediately.
5. Buckets, waxed boxes or tubs are usually helpful with handling floral deliveries.
6. You can have a charging cable on hand, so your phone doesn't run out of battery during your Run.
