How couriers are listed
HomiMade is a directory of delivery partners. It shows sellers the couriers who can take an order and lets the seller choose. It never assigns deliveries, sets prices or schedules, or tracks couriers.
A directory, not a dispatcher
Couriers are independent companies or licensed independent couriers. A seller asks one courier at a time, and only that courier can accept. HomiMade does not employ couriers and takes no part in payments.
Who is listed
Couriers who verified their identity, whose documents passed the checks the local rules ask for (for example a company registration), and who set their zones, hours and a contact number. Independent couriers are listed only where the local rules allow them.
Which couriers a seller sees
For each order, the couriers in the order’s country whose zones cover both the shop’s area and the delivery address, and who offer the service the seller chose.
In what order
Couriers who work at the pickup time come first. Then they are ordered by a score made of three parts. Nobody can pay to appear higher. Ties go to the nearer courier, then by name.
- Nearness (50%): how close the courier’s zone centre is to the shop’s area, from full at 0 km to none at 20 km or more.
- Completed deliveries (30%): deliveries completed among the requests the courier accepted. Declined requests are not counted.
- Rating (20%): the average rating, counted as close to 4 stars until there are enough ratings.
Estimates
Each estimate comes from the courier’s own prices: their base fee, plus their price per kilometre for the distance (up to 40% more, for the road), plus any zone fee. The final price is agreed between the seller and the courier.
Saying no is free
A courier can decline any request, or let it close without an answer. Neither counts against them anywhere.
Who sees what
Before accepting, a courier sees the shop, the two areas, the distance and the time. Once they accept, they see the pickup and delivery details, until 7 days after the job ends. The seller gets the courier’s WhatsApp number when they ask; the buyer gets it once the courier accepts.
Ratings
Only the seller and the buyer of a delivered order that the buyer confirmed can rate its courier, once each.
Do you deliver?
Delivery companies, and licensed independent couriers where the local rules allow them, can create a courier profile. You choose your zones, hours and prices, and you decide on every request.
