Welcome to Stuart! This guide covers everything you need to get ready, accept your first delivery, and make the most of your time on the platform.

1. Before You Start Delivering

Make sure the following are updated and good to go:

  • Valid insurance that meets Stuart's requirements

  • Right-to-work documentation

  • Correct delivery area (contact us if you need to change cities)

  • Accurate transport type (contact us if you need to change your transport type)

  • Your Delivery equipment (bag, charger, phone mount)


2. Getting Set Up in the App

Once you're ready:

  • Open the Stuart Courier App

  • Make sure notifications and location services are enabled

  • Tap Go Online to start receiving invitations

  • Check your delivery zone and any areas with multiplier incentives


3. Receiving & Accepting Delivery Invitations

Here’s what to expect:

  • Invitations appear as in-app notifications or directly in your app

  • You’ll see the client name and expected earnings on all invitations (including any multipliers)

  • You have 40 seconds to accept before the invitation expires

  • You can enable Auto-Accept if you prefer all invitations accepted automatically


4. Completing a Delivery

At Pickup

  • Travel to the pickup location promptly

  • Confirm the order details shown in the app

  • Secure the items properly in your delivery bag

At Drop-off

  • Check for customer notes or instructions

  • Confirm the customer’s name before handing the order

  • Don’t forget about Challenge 25 for deliveries containing age-restricted items

  • Hand the order directly to them (do not leave deliveries unattended)


5. Tips for a Smooth Experience

  • Keep your phone fully charged (carry a power bank if possible)

  • Ensure your contact details are correct

  • If something goes wrong (damaged item, unreachable customer, etc.), contact Support via the app - be prepared to upload clear details or photos


6. Maximising Your Earnings

To make the most of your time:

  • Deliver during high-demand periods (especially Fri–Sat evenings)

  • Stay close to busy restaurants or city centres

  • Take advantage of multiplier zones and per-drop rewards
