Hey everyone! I hope everyone's having a good morning! I have decided that I'm changing my pricing system, in order to make my services more reasonable and fair. Starting today, I am implementing a time based system, instead of having base fees for an entire area.
FOR PICKUP DELIVERIES 👇
I will only be charging $0.75 per minute for driving time, as long as I'm not waiting for more than 5 minutes to pick up the delivery. It will be an additional $0.50 per minute for wait time exceeding 5 minutes. For example, if my driving time to the pickup and drop-off locations is a total of 10 minutes, the delivery fee would be $7.50. If I am waiting at the pickup location for 10 minutes, it would be an additional $2.50 ($10 total). Most deliveries don't take more than 5 minutes to pick up, so the wait time charge would only apply in the case of a delayed pickup once I've arrived.
FOR SHOPPING ORDERS 👇
I can shop for you if you can't order curbside pickup, or the location doesn't offer those types of services.
I will be charging $0.75 per minute for driving time, plus a 10% shopping fee based on the amount spent, as it already is. For example, if my total driving time is 10 minutes, and the customers total after shopping is $100 ($10 fee), the total fee would be $17.50.
FOR MOVING SERVICES 👇
My moving services will be charged on 2 separate time based fees. I will be charging $0.75 per minute for driving time, plus a $20 hourly labor fee, as it already is. The labor fee starts when I arrive and start loading the items, and ends once the last item is unloaded. For example, if my total driving time is 20 minutes, and it takes 1 hour to move everything, the fee would be $35. Originally it would have been the base fee per trip, plus labor.
I decided to change my pricing system, because I realized that the base fee wasn't really a fair way to price out my services. Someone that lives across a town (baileyville for example), would be paying the same as someone just across the town line.
Charging with a time based system, will make my services more reasonable and fair for customers all over Washington County!
I hope everyone has a great day, and I hope to hear from you! Message me or give me a call if you need my services!
