Find a delivery rider near you
Same-day deliveries, parcel runs, collections and regular dispatch for a small business.
Also called boda rider, courier, same day delivery or dispatch rider.
Delivery posts are usually urgent and usually simple: something needs to get from one side of town to the other today.
Say what the item is, not just where it is going. Size and fragility decide whether it goes on a motorcycle at all, and a rider who arrives to find a 20kg box has wasted both your afternoons.
For a small business, the more valuable post is the standing one — a rider available on certain days each week. That relationship is worth building with somebody who has already done a single run for you well.

Writing the request
What to include so the offers come back usable
- What the item is, roughly how big and how heavy
- Pick-up and drop-off areas, and the time window
- Whether anything has to be paid for at collection
- Whether it is fragile, or needs to stay upright or cold
- Who the rider asks for at each end, and a phone number for both
What moves the price
Why two quotes for the same job differ
- Distance and the number of stops
- Size and weight, and whether a motorcycle can carry it at all
- How urgent it is
- Waiting time at either end
- Whether the rider has to pay for anything and be reimbursed
Help24 does not publish price ranges for delivery rider. Quotes come from the delivery riders themselves, and the number you agree is the number the payment is held against.
Before work starts
What to check with a delivery rider
- Agree what happens if nobody is there to receive it
- For anything valuable, agree how it is handed over and who confirms receipt
- Give the rider a working phone number for the person at the other end
How Help24 works
Posting a delivery rider job
Describe the job
Say what needs doing and where you are. Posting is free, and you are not committing to anything by posting.
Nearby delivery riders send offers
Providers near you quote their own price. Nobody is assigned to you — you see the offers and you choose.
Agree the price first
Nothing starts until you have accepted an offer. The number you agree is the number that gets held.
Pay by M-Pesa, released when it's done
Help24 holds the payment while the work happens. The provider can see it is there; neither side can move it until you confirm the job is finished.
