How Packhitch Works

Your package travels with a verified driver already headed that way.

01

Request

Create a delivery request in the app. Set your pickup and drop-off locations, choose a package size, and get an instant quote.

02

Offers

Verified drivers already travelling your route offer to deliver your package. Review each driver's profile and ratings.

03

Accept & Pay

Accept the offer you're happy with and pay securely through Paystack. Your driver gets the go-ahead to collect.

04

Delivery

Your driver collects the package and delivers it door-to-door. The receiver confirms delivery with a simple WhatsApp reply, and you both leave a rating.

Trust is our primary currency.

Identity Verification

Every driver completes identity verification before they can deliver: SA ID validation, a driver's license check, a live selfie match, and a criminal background check.

Protected Payments

Payments are processed securely through Paystack, and drivers are only paid out once the delivery is complete.

Ratings & Reviews

After every delivery, senders and drivers rate each other. Every driver making offers has already passed all verification checks, and their profile shows their rating history, so you always know who's carrying your package.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the price calculated?
Your delivery fee is calculated automatically from the distance of the route and the size of your package. You see the exact price the moment you create your request, with no quotes to wait for and no negotiating with drivers.
How are drivers verified?
Before a driver can deliver, they complete identity verification: their SA ID is validated, their driver's license is checked, a live selfie is matched to their documents, and they pass a criminal background check. Only drivers who have passed every check can offer to deliver your package.
How do I know my package arrived?
You're kept updated via WhatsApp as your delivery progresses. When the driver drops off the package, the receiver confirms delivery with a simple yes/no WhatsApp reply, and you and the driver can then rate each other.
How do I know the contents are safe?
For safety, senders are required to declare the contents of every package, and drivers see this before offering to deliver. Prohibited items (liquids, illegal substances, dangerous goods) are strictly forbidden.
How long does delivery take?
Since we match your package with drivers already on the road, delivery is usually as fast as the drive itself. On popular routes like JHB-CPT and JHB-DBN, that often means same-day or next-morning delivery.
