Courier & Packages

Packages & returns,

— off your hands.

Send a package, grab one across town, or clear that pile of returns by the door. A vetted local Gopher picks it up, waits in the line at UPS, FedEx, or USPS, and sends you proof it’s done. You set the offer; any postage is paid at cost.

Why a Gopher for packages

Dropped off, and proven

Gopher isn’t a courier dispatch or a membership. It’s a neighbor running it for you — on three simple rules.

💵

You pay what you want

Set the offer for the run and your Gopher keeps every cent. Any postage or shipping is paid at cost, straight to the carrier — Gopher never marks it up.

📸

Proof, not guesswork

When the drop-off is done, your Gopher sends a photo of the receipt or the tracking number. No more wondering whether your return actually made it.

🚗

Pickup to perfect

A Gopher you pick by name and rating grabs it from your door and owns the whole trip — counter, line, and all. Track them the entire way.

What changes for you

The Gopher way vs. the post-office run

Same errand, none of the hassle. Here’s what shifts when a neighbor makes the trip and waits in the line for you.

Sending something? Box and label it, or let your Gopher handle the counter. Either way, you get a photo of the receipt or tracking when it’s done. New to your area? We recommend securing your Gopher first, then posting your run, since Gopher isn’t a fulfillment service (rest assured, we’ll be there soon).
