How can I find a reliable carrier near me?
Enter your pick-up and delivery locations to discover the carriers and delivery options available for your route. Check profiles, ratings, reviews, offers and vehicle suitability before booking.
What can I send with MyBoxMan?
Depending on the service and route, you can request the transport of parcels, boxes, furniture, personal belongings, equipment and other eligible items. Items must comply with MyBoxMan’s rules and applicable law.
Can I book both local and long-distance transport?
Yes. MyBoxMan can connect senders and carriers for local, regional or long-distance delivery requests, subject to route and carrier availability.
How quickly can I find a carrier?
Response time depends on the route, delivery date, item size, demand and carrier availability. Requests with clear information and realistic dates can make it easier for carriers to respond.
Can I track my delivery?
Where tracking is available, you can follow the progress of your delivery and important status updates through your MyBoxMan account.
Is MyBoxMan suitable for both individuals and businesses?
Yes. MyBoxMan is designed both for individuals who need occasional transport and for businesses looking for flexible delivery and logistics solutions.
Senders
How do I book a delivery on MyBoxMan?
Create a delivery request by entering the pick-up address, delivery address, item details, dimensions, approximate weight, preferred date and any special handling instructions. Accurate information lets carriers make suitable offers.
How do I get the best delivery price?
Provide accurate shipment information, flexible dates where possible and clear pick-up and delivery instructions. Comparing several carrier offers can help you find the best balance between price, availability and service.
Can I get several transport quotes?
Yes. When several BoxMen are interested in your route, you can compare their offers, profiles, ratings, reviews and delivery terms before making your choice.
Can I choose my BoxMan?
Yes. You can choose a carrier based on criteria such as price, rating, reviews, route, vehicle type, availability and your own delivery requirements.
What information do I need to provide about my item?
State the type of item, quantity, dimensions, approximate weight, photos if needed, condition and any special requirements (fragile handling, stairs, lifting or specific access).
Can I upload photos of my shipment?
Yes. Photos can help carriers understand the size, condition and handling requirements of the item, and can reduce misunderstandings about the shipment.
Can I choose the pick-up and delivery date?
You can state your preferred dates or time slots for pick-up and delivery when creating your request. The final schedule must be confirmed with the selected carrier.
Can someone else collect or receive my delivery?
Yes, where applicable. Add the authorised person’s name and contact details to the delivery instructions so the carrier knows who to contact.
What happens after I accept a carrier’s offer?
Your booking is confirmed in line with the booking procedure in force. You can then use the communication and delivery information available to coordinate pick-up and delivery.
Can I cancel a delivery request?
Cancellation may be possible depending on the booking stage and the applicable terms. Please check the cancellation terms before cancelling a confirmed delivery.
