Before you book errands, materials pickup & donation runs

Quick things that save a trip. Tick them off as you go; none of it is required to book.

0/7

Let’s get you readyTap a card when you have done it.

Write the stops in order

List each stop with the address, the hours and what is being picked up or dropped. Grouping nearby stops keeps the hours down and makes the plan clear.

Order and pay online first

Place pickup orders and pay ahead where you can, so the pro only collects. Send the order number and the name on the order.

Measure and weigh what is coming

Check the size and weight of each item against the vehicle the pro drives. Long or heavy pieces may need a larger truck or a second person.

Ask for a photo at each stop

A quick picture of the loaded materials or the drop-off confirmation is proof the job was done. It also helps a contractor confirm what arrived.

Prepare donation items in advance

Bag and box donation items so they can be loaded quickly. Check what the site takes and its hours so nothing is turned away.

Keep receipts and returns organized

Give the pro the receipt and any packaging needed for a return. Ask them to bring back the refund receipt so you can track it.

Say where in Millbrae you are

Add your neighborhood, for example Millbrae Highlands, The Meadows, and Green Hills, or your ZIP code to your notes. Pros choose the neighborhoods they cover, and it tells them how far they have to travel.

How where you live changes errands, materials pickup & donation runs

What the pro drives decides what fits

Wet paint, glass and bagged cement have to be secured properly. Tell the pro the size, weight and count of the items so the vehicle and the straps match the load.

Fill in the blanks first. The note goes to the pro you choose.
