What to check before hiring a daily shopping

Prepare a precise shopping list with quantities before contacting the helper — you save time and reduce errors.
Specify preferred brands or acceptable alternatives for essential products.
Keep the receipts you receive — they may be needed for product returns or complaints.
If you have a regular shopping routine, negotiate a fixed monthly price — it's more economical than per-run payment.
Inform the helper about any important allergies or dietary restrictions to avoid wrong purchases.
Notify the shopping helper at least a few hours in advance if you need special items not found in every shop.
Be reachable by phone during the run for any questions — this speeds things up and reduces errors.
Test the service with a simple run before committing to a monthly subscription.
