Pool deliveries

Pool deliveries are Zippex’s alternative to surge pricing. We group multiple deliveries that travel in the same direction onto a single driver run — cheaper for senders, denser for drivers.

When a delivery joins a pool

  • The dropoff is within a corridor of an existing run.
  • The new dropoff adds less than 8 minutes to the existing route.
  • Both packages fit the driver’s vehicle.

Trade-offs

  • Pros: lower per-delivery fee, less driver-supply volatility, higher likelihood of fast pickup.
  • Cons: ETA can vary by a few minutes depending on the order of dropoffs.

Opting out

For time-sensitive deliveries (medical, perishable, premium tier), pass pool: false in the quote request. The fee will be higher but the delivery is guaranteed solo.

Pool stops are invisible to recipients

Recipients see only their own delivery’s ETA and the driver’s live location. They do not know other stops exist.
