Often within the hour. You see helpers who are free near you on the map, with how long they’d take to reach you. You can also book a time up to 90 days ahead.
Who are the helpers?
Local people and businesses who passed an ID check with a selfie match. For this service only registered businesses with the right qualifications can take jobs. After each job you rate them, and ratings decide who gets offered jobs first.
When do I pay?

Can I cancel?
Yes. Cancelling is free until 2 minutes after a helper accepts. After that a small fee covers their time.
