Ans. Sending an item is easy. The app matches you with people who are already doing the journey to deliver your parcel.
Here’s how it works:
Create a request:
- Tell us where you want your item collected from? Look up the address or use your current location.
- Now tell us where you want it sent and when you want it picked up.
- Add a suitable description “tickets, phone charger shoes, clothes”
- Pick a price for delivery, we recommend £8. Setting a higher price helps you send your item faster.
- A Summary of your request will be ready to review. Make changes, and when you’re ready just submit to the community.
Q. Will the deliverer collect my item from me?
Ans. The Sending process is simple. Swishd will notify you when a deliverer has accepted your request and provide you with the next steps for confirming the job. The deliverer and you will agree on the time/date of pick-up. They can collect the item from you at your home, office or an agreed meeting point decided in the chat area of the app.
Q. How much does it cost to get something delivered?
Ans. Sending an item through the Swishd app is easy and matches you instantly with people who are already doing the trip. We’ve set a suggested price of £8 based on feedback from early adopters. You can set your own price as an incentive to attract more deliverers.
Q. How can I leave feedback?
Ans. Leaving feedback is important for senders and deliverers because it builds trust among members. When delivery is completed, you will be notified to rate and review the deliverer.
How
- You’ll see the “Rate” button in your conversations when your delivery is complete.
- Choose the number of stars you would like to give, add a comment and submit.

Good to know
- You can leave feedback when the delivery is completed.

- Deliverers will not be able to edit or remove ratings
Tips for the number of stars
- 1-2 stars: unhappy with the delivery – for example cancellation, flaws to the agreed date/time, or loss or damage occurred.
- 3 stars: neutral. Something may be improved.
- 4-5 stars: very good/great experience/reliable
Q. Can I deliver anywhere in the UK?

How to set up your Swishd Wallet?
