Suggest a price for your delivery
Not happy with the automatic quote? Name your own price for the job and independent drivers on the Zoom2u platform can accept it or place a bid.
What "suggest a price" means
Zoom2u is a platform that connects customers with independent drivers. When you book a delivery, the platform shows an automatic quote. If you would rather set your own figure, you can suggest a price instead. Your suggested price is then visible to independent drivers on the platform, who can choose to accept it or place a bid on the job. You stay in control: nothing is locked in until you accept a price you are happy with.
How does it work?
- Log in to your Zoom2u account, start a booking, and fill in the booking details for your delivery.
- At the bottom of the booking, select the option to suggest a price.
- Enter the price you want to offer in the price suggestion form.
- Submit your booking. Your suggested price is shared with independent drivers on the platform, and bids start to come in.
- When a driver accepts your suggested price, or you receive a bid you like, accept it and your delivery is on its way.
Why suggest your own price?
- You set the budget. Put forward a price that suits the job rather than taking the automatic quote.
- Drivers choose to take it. Independent drivers decide whether to accept your price or bid, so jobs that work for both sides get matched.
- No commitment until you accept. You only confirm once a price and driver suit you.
Good to know
Drivers on Zoom2u are independent contractors who run their own delivery work through the platform. A very low suggested price may take longer to attract a bid, while a fair price tends to get picked up faster. If you need a guaranteed pickup window, you can compare your suggested price against the standard same-day delivery, 3 hour delivery and VIP delivery options before you decide.
You can use suggest a price for almost anything you would normally send. Check the full list of items we deliver, see how the platform works on the book a courier page, or read more in the FAQ.
