Getting started

What is Adhoc?

Adhoc connects UK parcel depots that need rounds covering with checked, self-employed couriers who have their own van.

Adhoc is a marketplace for parcel rounds. Depots post the rounds they need covering, and couriers with their own van apply for the ones they want.

For couriers

  • See what you will receive for a round, after our commission, before you apply.
  • Browse rounds near you on a list or a map, filtered by date, area and van size.
  • Check in and out at the depot by scanning a code on the depot's screen.
  • Get paid by Adhoc for the parcels you deliver, straight to your bank account.

For depots

  • Post a round with its date, collection window, parcel count, van size and pay.
  • Choose from couriers whose identity, right to work and insurance Adhoc has already checked.
  • See when your courier arrives, where they are while they are out, and how many parcels they delivered.
  • Pay when you post, and get the difference back automatically if fewer parcels are delivered.

In the app, couriers are called drivers. Adhoc is not a courier company and does not carry parcels itself. Read how we check depots and couriers.
