Qupup on demand delivery in uk
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
http://quiqup.com/
Quiqup can pick up anything you want, and deliver wherever you are. Avoid the queues, the traffic and the stress, and let our carefully selected Quiqiees take
We cover the best of the city, including all the independent stores you love, and even recommend new places destined to become your future favorites. Whatever you need, Quiqup can get it now.
Wouldn’t it be great to know there was always someone on stand-by, ready to run personal errands just for you?
That’s what we do. Quiqup can pick up anything you want, and deliver wherever you are. Avoid the queues, the traffic and the stress, and let our carefully selected Quiqiees take care of everything.
o exactly what do you deliver?
Pretty much anything. No, seriously! If you cannot find it on our app then type in what you want as a ‘custom order’. We may need to give you a quick call to double check it with you or to give you a price but where possible we will try our very best to get you anything you need. We once delivered someones bike after they had no choice but to leave it locked outside the bar they had been drinking at.
Our most regular deliveries are takeaways, particularly from restaurants that don’t deliver (lots of the really delicious ones), groceries, healthcare products and drinks – and we don’t mean soft drinks!
How much will my order cost me?
It all depends on how far we have to go for you. Our minimum charge is £5 plus a service charge of 9% of the value of your order. Most of the money goes to the Quiqie and our team of very clever app developers who are constantly trying to improve the app and add new features.
How long will my order take to get to me?
Again, this will depend on how far we need to go for you. But we do have Quiqies all over London to make sure we are near as possible to most things. On average an order usually takes around 30 mins to collect, pack properly for transportation and then deliver. If anything delays them then they will drop you a message to let you know – this doesn’t happen very often but occasionally a restaurant may have a backlog of food orders to get through or the Quiqie may find a unexpected obstruction on his quickest route to you.
Can I track my delivery?
Absolutely. When you submit your order you will receive a text from the Quiqie that has been given your order. This is to introduce themselves and to tell you they are on their way to get it. After this you can track them in real time on the app to see how they are doing. A word of warning though – it can get very addictive watching them move across the map, oh and try not to laugh at their mug shots!
Can I order from more than one place at once?
Yes you can. We will need to charge you a little more for delivery but it works out much cheaper that two separate orders
Do you deliver to offices and businesses?
Yes, in fact we love to! Many of our best customers are offices that order in lunch for their staff or ask us to fetch an emergency stationery order or ink cartridge for the printer. We are even asked to pick up and deliver birthday cakes for unsuspecting office colleagues!
Can I have something picked up and delivered to someone for me?
Absolutely. This is a very common request and it is why we have the ‘Pick-up’ option on the app. The most usual items we are asked to pick up include keys, parcels, documents and prescription requests. We draw the line though at elephants - as we cannot fit them in the van.
Do I have to tip?
No, not at all. However, if you think the service you have received is worthy of a tip then your Quiqie would be most grateful.
What if I am not in when the Quiqie arrives?
If you think you might not be in when the Quiqie delivers your order please either send an SMS to your Quiqie (they will have contacted you already) or call us on 07873537211 to let us know. Depending on the order your Quiqie may be able to come back a little later, wait a short time or maybe entertain your neighbours with a juggling act.
Postmates pioneer in usa and the world

https://postmates.com/
nce you've chosen a store, select the items you'd like to have delivered. If there is a menu, you can simply check off the items you want. And if there's no menu, you can write a shopping list in the "Add a custom order" field.
hat can I have delivered with Postmates?
If it's an item in a store or restaurant in your city, we can deliver it. Get pizza from your favorite neighborhood joint, donuts from across town, new sneakers from Nike, an iphone charger from the Apple Store, prescriptions from the pharmacy, you name it.
How much does it cost?
Delivery fees start at $5 and are determined by the distance from pick-up to drop-off, and the capacity of the platform. Additionally, a 9% service fee is applied to the purchase price of your items.
What is Blitz Pricing?
Blitz Pricing indicates demand is higher than normal, and deliveries will cost a little more during these peak times. This increased pricing creates a strong financial incentive for Postmates to make themselves available when you need them the most. We will always be transparent when blitz pricing is active. You'll have to click through and accept the higher delivery price to place an order.
Is tip required? Where does that money go?
Tip is not required. 100% goes to your Postmate for their effort on the delivery. If you would like to leave a tip, you are given the opportunity to add 10%, 15%, 20% or a custom dollar amount. The tip screen will pop up once your delivery is complete.
Can I tip my Postmate with cash?
No. Tips are only accepted through the app.
Can I get items from Craigslist delivered?
We can only deliver a purchase from Craigslist if you have already paid the seller or if the person you are purchasing from will accept a credit card. We will not pay cash for an item off Craigslist and we cannot pick up cash from you and then retrieve the item.
Postmates is transforming the way local goods move around a city by enabling anyone to get any product delivered in under one hour. Postmates' revolutionary urban logistics & on-demand delivery platform connects customers with local couriers, who purchase and deliver goods from any restaurant or store in a city.

Trusted ridesharing
https://www.blablacar.com/
Connecting people who need to travel with drivers who have empty seats
Trust factor
First, member identities are authentic. Second, the community self-moderates, using profiles and ratings to evaluate members and vet those that do not respect the BlaBlaCar spirit of positive community collaboration. Third, BlaBlaCar has a dedicated Member Relations team, available every day to support users, so you always get the best experience out of BlaBlaCar.
Trust
Trust is at the centre of all communities, and BlaBlaCar is no exception. On BlaBlaCar, every time two members meet in real life they publicly rate each other, allowing the members to build up a trusted community reputation. This means that before you travel with another member you can read their ratings and benefit from the experience of other members. If a member has been declared trustworthy by several people in the past, you can trust them too.
Choice
On BlaBlaCar, you get to choose your travelling companions. Co-travellers contact car owners of their choice, and in turn, car owners can quickly accept or decline requests. To help members decide, in addition to ratings, BlaBlaCar provides valuable information about each members recent activity and experience level. This means you will always be confident and comfortable planning a rideshare.
Confidentiality
BlaBlaCar needs your phone number to verify your identity and to send you notifications when you plan a rideshare. But this doesn’t mean anyone will be calling you on it! Whether you prefer to receive emails or just don’t have time to take calls, enabling the Hidden Number Option means your number will NOT be shown to members on your profile. And thanks to our internal messaging service, you can talk to any member without ever disclosing your email address either. When a member writes to you, you’ll get a nice email from us, letting you know that you have a message available in your member space. It’s simple and all your details remain strictly confidential.

Monese Launches In U.K. To Let Immigrants And Expats Get A Mobile Banking Account
http://techcrunch.com/2015/09/21/moneseasy-peasy/
Part of the reason that the company is able to offer banking to those who high street banks typically decline or put up additional barriers is that Monese doesn’t hold a full banking license, meaning that it isn’t able to offer credit or loan out customer deposits. Instead the startup is classified by the Financial Conduct Authority, the U.K. regulator, as an Electronic Money Institution.
The other part of the equation is Monese’s technology play. It claims to validate your identity in realtime based on a snapshot of your passport and a ‘?s?elfie’? taken with your smartphone as part of the account opening process. In addition to “hundreds of data points”, the company’s system then makes an instant decision on whether or not to allow you to open an account.
However, despite not being a ‘bank’ per se, for all intents and purposes — and not least for those for whom Monese solves a genuine problem — it operates as a bank account like any other, including providing an account number and sort code, a Visa Debit card, and cash deposits and withdrawals. In fact the startup has a few additional tricks up its sleeve too.
t Monese you can get an account number and sort code on your mobile phone in minutes and start using it immediately - even if you’re new in the UK
The first edition of the Monese Visa debit card comes in striking blue and is a stylish addition to any wallet or purse. Use it to pay in stores, or withdraw cash from ATMs globally.

Caret an address book for 21st century
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
https://caret.co/
Caret exchanges automated status updates with your approved contacts, such as call availability, calendar events, location triggers, local time and timezone information, etc.
The app transforms your static address book into a dynamic view of
your contacts' availability and status.
http://techcrunch.com/2015/09/17/logmein-co-founder-debuts-caret-an-address-book-that-tells-people-if-youre-available-to-chat/
Today, the co-founder of LogMeIn, Marton Anka, is introducing his own take on the “next generation” address book with the debut of Caret, a social app that includes the ability to share your availability information with those you trust.
The idea behind Caret is to combine what’s historically been a more static database of contacts with social networking features, automation and location services in order to offer users a more intelligent tool for reaching out to their friends, family and business contacts.
The address book integrates with users’ existing contact lists on their mobile device, and then places all those contacts into a default group that can then see your basic status – like “available” or “unavailable,” similar to a messaging app like WhatsApp. Users can also see your current location by country level (e.g. the U.S.), plus time zone and weather information.
This offers all your contacts some high-level information about where you are today, though if you want to stop users from even seeing anything at all, you can block them.
Where Caret gets more interesting, however, is when you start sorting contacts into other groups in order to provide them with additional information about your availability, location, and current status.
To make this possible, the app taps into smartphone sensors. For example, if the device’s GPS detects you’re moving at more than 10 MPH, then Caret can show a trusted contact that you’re currently in a vehicle and may not be able to respond immediately to an incoming call or text. In another example, if you turn your phone face down while in a meeting, Caret will inform your colleagues that you’re not available.
That said, if Caret’s user base is able to grow, there are other neat tricks it can do. For instance, you can configure a custom status that pops up with you arrive at a pre-set location and then see which contacts are near you. This could make sense for when you’re arriving at a big event, like a conference, concert, or outdoor festival, perhaps.

Envoy’s pitch is that it provides a one-to-one concierge with seniors that don’t quite need full-time assistance, but periodically need help with tasks like running errands and for in-home help like plumbing. These tasks are usually handled by family members, CEO Justin Lin said
Family members will also have access to remote monitoring, including things like photos and receipts, which aims to remove some of the anxiety over employing an unknown person to provide care for a senior family member.
“It’s basically, you’re living at home, mom and dad are getting older but they start needing a little bit of help,” Lin said. “They’re not ready to hire a full-blown caregiver, they don’t need help getting dressed, they don’t need someone to come every day but they need a little support.
