General FAQ

What is Lonelyseat?

Lonelyseat is an on-demand, peer-to-peer Delivery platform. We’re a platform that connects Kiwis with Stuff, with a nationwide network of willing and able Drivers. Lonelyseat serves everyone from big retailers to everyday mums and dads… You name it, our Drivers and Senders are diverse in every way possible.

How does Lonelyseat work?

Lonelyseat has a very simple process. Firstly, a Sender lists the Stuff they want to send and that listing is uploaded onto the Platform for all Drivers to browse through. Drivers can then accept Senders listing on a 'first come, first served' basis. Once both the Driver and Sender are happy for the Delivery to go ahead, the Driver will arrive at the pick-up point before or close to the pick-up time and collect the Stuff to Deliver. When the Driver is on the way, the Sender can track the Delivery via a link sent by text. When the Driver arrives at the drop-off point, they take a photo of the Stuff to confirm the Delivery is complete on their end.
