Advice from cycle couriers sought

Unless I missed something, you probably get paid through the app just like Hailo.

In which case, you'll be doing the work for free whilst the courier who turns up and finds the package already being delivered gets paid handsomely for not doing the delivery.

I guess that works if you're feeling generous and kind that way.

I meant in a more unscrupulous manner.

Courier Co. dispatcher has the app, posing as a rider.

Accepts every job that comes up before anyone else gets it (no thinking involved, just accept the job regardless).

Passes them onto their own riders via the usual radio dispatch.

Their rider does the job.

Courier Co. gets paid via the app, not the rider.
