Repeat pickups

Sell to the same buyer every week, every 2 weeks or every month.

If you sell the same kind of scrap to the same buyer again and again, set up a repeat pickup. A pickup is booked for you automatically before each round, so you don't have to agree a new deal every time.

Works in:Android appWeb app

How it works

  • A repeat pickup copies a completed pickup: the same buyer, the same price per kg and the same weight.
  • It runs every week, every 2 weeks or every month.
  • Either the buyer or the seller can propose it. The other person has to agree before it starts.
  • A day before each round, a pickup is booked for you at the agreed time. It then works like any other pickup: see On pickup day.

Set up a repeat pickup

  1. Open Repeat pickups (web: from Pickups, or after rating a completed pickup; app: from a completed pickup with Repeat this pickup).
  2. Select Set up a repeat pickup.
  3. Under Pickup to repeat, choose a completed pickup.
  4. Choose how often: Every week, Every 2 weeks or Every month.
  5. Choose the day of the week, or for monthly, the day of the month (up to the 28th, so it works every month).
  6. Choose the time (Pakistan time) and the pickup window (1 to 4 hours).
  7. Select Send proposal.

You see "Proposal sent. We will tell you when they answer."

Answer a proposal

When someone proposes a repeat pickup to you, it shows as Waiting for an answer. Select Agree to repeat to start it, or Decline. The person who proposed it can Withdraw it while it waits.

Pause, resume or end

  • Pause: no new pickups are booked until you Resume.
  • End: no more pickups will be booked, and the other person is told. Pickups already booked stay as they are.
