Updated over a week ago

Stuart will apply fees to you for long waiting times at pick-up. Long waiting time earnings are available UK wide.

On this page:


How are waiting time earnings calculated?

Your waiting time starts automatically when you reach the pick-up location. Waiting time earnings start after 15 minutes of waiting, up to a maximum of 30 minutes after you arrived.

Waiting time earnings are 17p per minute for up to 15 minutes and rounded to the nearest minute.

Do I have to wait at pick-up?

If a package isn’t ready, continuing to wait at pick-up is optional. You can:

  • 1️⃣ Contact Support via chat to cancel your order after 30 minutes of waiting.

    Choose “Long Wait At PU” in the chat. If Support cancels your order, we will apply a cancellation fee.

  • 2️⃣ Self-cancel at any time.

    If you self-cancel you will not receive earnings for the delivery.
