info

This feature is available for version 1.1.0 or higher.

The first step to hire a service provider through Mailjour is by posting a request. You will be able to post a request for the services you need, and providers will be able to place bids on them.

To post a service request, follow these steps:

  • Go to Requests section. For commerce users, the section is accessible from the bottom bar. For providers, this section is located in the main app menu.
  • Tap the main menu button and then tap on "Create New Request". You will find this button at the top of the menu.
  • Fill in the required information:
    • PACKAGE DETAILS:
      • Reference (optional): A reference number for the parcel you need to send. This can be an order number, a tracking number, or any other reference you want to provide to make the pickup and delivery process easier. If you don't have a reference, you can leave this field blank and the system will generate a reference for you.
      • Type of content: Select the type of content you need to send from the list of available options.

    • ADDITIONAL CONFIGURATION (Publish tab):

      • Require Delivery Code: If you enable this option, the service provider will be required to enter an automatically generated code in the app to confirm the delivery. This code is different from the pickup code and is not visible to the service provider.
  • Accept the terms and conditions and tap on "Create Request".
tip

Carefully review your requirements before posting a service request. You can view the details of the service request by clicking on the "More details" button in the request card of the list of requests.

After posting the request, the system will match it with the providers with open services that meet your requirements. You will be notified when a provider places a bid on your request.

info

Mailjour does not charge any commission on the service price set by the provider. The bid price is the final price you will pay for the service.
