How does Deeleeo work for delivery agents?

Deeleeo is a platform that allows you to work when you want, where you want, and however long you want. You can go on and off duty as you wish. No need to schedule shifts or days, you can just accept Deeleeos as they appear!

You will receive New Deeleeo notifications on your phone when new Deeleeos become available (Be sure to toggle the New Deeleeo notification ‘on’ in the notification settings of the Deeleeo Agent app).

Once you accept a Deeleeo or multiple Deeleeos, follow the route to the pickup and drop off locations. 

You are responsible for successfully completing each Deeleeo you accept. If you need to cancel a Deeleeo after accepting it, there may be cancellation fees. 

At the pickup location you are required to verify the package(s) and upload an on site photo of the package(s) in the app.

While enroute to the drop off location you are responsible for anything that might happen to the package(s).

At the drop off location you must again take a photo of the package(s) and upload it in the app. The drop off photo must be zoomed-out enough to see the relative location of the package, and ideally have the location address somewhere in the photo (do not take drop off photos of the item in your vehicle). 

How do I sign up as a Deeleeo Delivery Agent?

To sign up as an agent you need to download the Deeleeo Agent app from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store. Then you will need to follow the steps in the app which will require you to submit the required documentation and complete a background check through Screening Canada. 

What type of technology do I need to be a Deeleeo agent?

To become a Deeleeo agent you will need a smartphone with photo taking capabilities. Most smartphones will be able to download the Deeleeo app and take photos for confirmation of pick up and delivery. 

How long does registration take?

It takes approximately 15 minutes to enter all required information and documentation. After that your documentation will be reviewed within 24 hours and your Screening Canada check will be processed within 1-5 business days and reviewed within 24 hours after that.

What documents are required? 

• Proof of work Eligibility (one of the following):
• Canadian Passport
• Permanent Residence Card

Why do I need to submit this information?

We use this information to make sure Deeleeo Agents are bondable, insured (if driving), and are otherwise able to work for Deeleeo. 

Can I send in my own background check?

You can send in your own background check as long as it meets our standards for background checks. A criminal background check must be done by either your municipal police department or a private company that conducts name-based criminal record checks of the RCMP’s Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC) system. The background check you submit must also have been completed within 30 days of submission. If you are unsure if an online service would meet these standards, please contact us.

I have not received approval to become a Deeleeo Agent. What is taking so long?

If you have not yet received approval please check to see if any documents have been declined. All declined documents will come with a message to your account explaining why they were declined. Please also check to ensure you have completed the Screening Canada check. If you are still unsure why you are not approved please contact us. 

How busy can I be as a Deeleeo agent?

The number of Deeleeo deliveries per day vary depending on the city you are in, however Deeleeo is continually growing and will have more and more Deeleeos per day. 

How much money will I make as a Deeleeo agent?

Our delivery agents receive between 75% and 80% of the delivery fee. This is equal to a minimum of $23/hour and can be higher depending on the number of Deeleeos you are delivering. 

How and when do I get paid?

We pay agents using direct deposit biweekly. Be sure your bank information is correct in your account on the app. 

What size of deliveries will I be expected to make?

Based on the size/type of vehicle you have, you will only see packages that match your vehicle’s capacity. This is to ensure your safety and to give our customers assurance the proper vehicle is being matched to the item being delivered. There are no requirements for the amount of weight you can lift but it’s best if you are able to lift 40lbs or more. Information on our delivery sizes can be found here and information about the specific Deeleeo can be found on the app. 

What do I do at pickup?

At pickup you should provide the name of the order or the order number. Please do not say ‘Pickup for Deeleeo’ as we can do multiple deliveries from the same location in the same day. You must also verify the item and submit a proof of pickup photo in the app on-site at the pickup location before leaving.

How do I prove I have delivered a Deeleeo?

You must always submit a photo showing that you have delivered the Deeleeo to the correct location. This photo should include the address if possible and the package. If you are doing an in-person or age-restricted Deeleeo you should take a photo to confirm the address before you deliver it to the recipient. 

Do I need to load and unload large packages?

You are expected to load and unload large packages. When you see loading or unloading needs tagged on a Deeleeo this tells you that you might need a helper agent or a friend to come help you at either pickup and/or drop off. This will be specified in the Deeleeo information before you accept a Deeleeo. Please only accept packages you are comfortable lifting and carrying a short distance. 

If other requirements are specified in the Deeleeo details, you may need to help bring the item inside a home or building, potentially install an item, and even remove other items.

This is case-by-case, at your discretion, and comes with more commission earned.

Be sure to communicate with the customer if these requests arise. We recommend when making any agreement with the customer about in-home service to do it in writing either through text messaging or in-app messaging so that you can take a screenshot of the message in the app. Pictures should be taken before and after an in-home delivery both for the app and for your own records. 

Do I have to use my own vehicle to make deliveries?

All Deeleeo agents are required to use their own method of transportation to deliver for Deeleeo – whether that be vehicle, public transit, bicycle, or by foot. 

What are your insurance requirements?

To become a Deeleeo delivery agent, insurance above and beyond normal vehicle insurance is not required by us. We recommend to all delivery agents that they carry $2,000,000 Third Party Liability for their vehicle. Although this is our suggestion, you may want to set your minimum as $1,000,000 Third Party Liability. If you register a vehicle, proof of insurance is required. 

Delivery agents are responsible and liable for every delivery you perform, including any special permits that may be required for certain deliveries. 

Here are some common insurance plans you may want to consider:

Auto

Third Party Liability – provides protection for the insured, in the event of an at fault collision, for the bodily injury or property damage they cause to someone else. 

Accident Benefits – included with Third Party Liability and provides “no fault” coverage such as emergency medical, dental, chiropractor, physio, etc.

SEF44 Family Protection – provides coverage for the insured for their bodily injury if they are injured by an uninsured or underinsured motorist.

Collision – protects against damage to your own vehicle in the event of a collision or upset (rollover).

Comprehensive – protects against damage to your own vehicle from fire, lightning, theft, vandalism, winstorm, hail, etc.

SEF13D Limited Glass – limits the coverage on all glass to fire, theft/attempted theft or vandalism.  Most policies in Alberta have this limitation and glass coverage is available through other companies like AMI Glass.

SEF20 Loss Of Use – if there is a covered claim, this provides coverage for the cost of a rental vehicle.  Various limits are available.

SEF27 Damage to a Hired Auto – provides physical damage coverage to a rented vehicle.  Various values are available.

Commercial

Commercial General Liability – provides protection for the insured for damage caused to another person or property while the insured is conducting business operations.

Customers’ Goods/Cargo Coverage – the insured is responsible for the safe care and transportation for goods in their custody and control.  Drivers moving higher valued items should consider coverage.  Small to medium transporters may look past this as the coverage has a $1,000 deductible but should know they are responsible for its value if lost or damaged.

Deeleeo has a friendly relationship with Western Financial Group. Simply email abclreferrals@westernfg.ca and tell them you are a Deeleeo delivery agent looking for insurance. A new business broker will be in touch within one business day.

 I need more information about a Deeleeo before accepting it. 

Any questions about a specific Deeleeo can be directed to the customer, that is why we allow you to send an in-app message and call the person that created the Deeleeo. The customer will be your best resource for answers, not Deeleeo Admin. Ask the customer via in-app messaging or calling to specify any details about the items in the Deeleeo before accepting if you are unsure. If you’re unsure, it’s best to make sure that you’re capable of delivering the Deeleeo before accepting to avoid possible cancellation fees. 

Can I contact a customer about their Deeleeo?

You can contact customers in the app and we encourage it! Tap on the phone or messaging icon with the desired Deeleeo to start a messaging conversation or phone call. All messages that have been initiated will show up in the ‘Chats’ tab. 

How do I know when a Deeleeo is available?

A ‘New Deeleeo’ notification is sent each time a Deeleeo is posted to the marketplace. Be sure to grab them quickly, they get taken fast!

What happens if I am late or early picking up and delivering a Deeleeo?

If you pick up or deliver a package outside of the specified time window, there is a chance you will be penalized. If you’re going to be outside of the specified window, communication with the customer must occur beforehand to ensure that they approve an adjustment in the time. If you did not communicate with the customer, did not receive approval, and did not pick up and deliver the item(s) within the appropriate time frame, then you will be charged the amount of the refund to the customer if a claim is made.

I can no longer deliver a Deeleeo I accepted. What should I do?

When a delivery agent accepts a Deeleeo, they are committing themselves to being able to make the delivery. If an agent must cancel a Deeleeo, they will be charged the amount of the refund to the customer. 

If a Deeleeo was accepted accidentally, it can be cancelled within 30 minutes with no penalty. For Deeleeos scheduled for a future day you can cancel up to 2 hours before the scheduled pickup time without penalty. 

What information can I see before accepting a Deeleeo?

You will be able to see: 

• The commission you will receive
• The approximate size and weight of the item(s)
• The pickup time frame
• The drop off time frame
• Any and all customer notes the customer might add

This information is provided to ensure that you know what is required before accepting a Deeleeo. To avoid being charged for cancellations, ensure that you are capable of making the delivery before accepting the Deeleeo.

Why can I not see any Deeleeos?

If you are not getting any alerts please ensure your notification settings are turned on for the Deeleeo Agent app. If you are not seeing many Deeleeos after checking this it may be because the Deeleeos being posted are outside of your delivery capabilities or because we are still expanding in your area and have a limited volume while we grow. 

What if my phone dies while I am delivering something?

Delivery agents are responsible for ensuring that all tools and tech required of them are in working order while on duty. This means that phones must have sufficient charge to complete all Deeleeos which are accepted by the agent. 

If your phone dies while delivering a Deeleeo, charge your phone immediately. Once your phone has power, you should be able to reopen the app and continue the Deeleeo. If your phone dies and it causes a Deeleeo to be delivered late, the customer has the option to file for a refund on the delivery fee, which you would be financially liable for. 

Is there compensation for paid parking?

Parking fees are the responsibility of the driver. We encourage you to use free parking options when available. Our commission takes things such as parking fees into consideration to ensure delivery agents are being compensated appropriately. 

I got a ticket while driving for Deeleeo. Who is responsible for paying for it?

All Deeleeo agents are required to abide by local driving laws, as outlined in the Deeleeo Agent Agreement. This includes obeying speed limits, parking restrictions, and all other laws. Deeleeo does not condone unsafe or illegal driving practices, and is not liable for any such acts committed by its agents. 

Do delivery agents have to pay for missing or stolen items?

The Deeleeo agent is responsible for the safety of the item between pickup and drop off points. This begins when the item is picked up by the agent, and ends when a picture is uploaded that shows the item at the pickup location after arriving safely. By uploading the picture, you are proving that the item has reached its location, and you are no longer considered liable for the item. Until a picture is taken and uploaded of the item in its destination, the delivery driver will be considered liable for the potential loss or damage to an item. If the upload function is not working, you must submit the photo confirmation along with the Deeleeo information to support@deeleeo.com or via text to +1 (825) 440 1355. Until such photo confirmation is submitted, the agent is considered to be responsible for the item. 

I do not want to deliver age-restricted materials. How do I avoid this?

If you are uncomfortable delivering age-restricted material you can simply avoid accepting these Deeleeos. All Deeleeos with these kinds of items will be labeled as such so you know what you are accepting in advance. We will be adding in an option for you to opt out of seeing these altogether in the future. 

Do I need to check ID for every delivery?

You do not need to check ID for every delivery, but you do need to check ID for every age-restricted delivery. The name on the ID must match the name of the recipient listed in the Deeleeo.
