The delivery style
Dispatched, monitored, and confirmed on every order
Standard delivery selects the best available driver from the dispatch network for each order. Pickup, delivery, GPS tracking, SMS status updates, and photo confirmation are included on every run — without the commission fees or customer acquisition trade-offs that come with marketplace platforms.
Best available driver, every order
UniHop selects the best available driver from the network for each order. You submit the delivery — we handle dispatch, driver selection, and coordination.
Dispatch monitors every run
Every Standard delivery is watched from pickup to drop-off. If something needs attention, the dispatch team contacts the driver directly without pulling you in.
Full visibility included
Real-time GPS tracking, SMS status updates at every milestone, and a photo confirmation on arrival — standard on every order, no add-ons required.
Workflow
How Standard delivery works
Submit the delivery
Enter the pickup and drop-off address in the UniHop portal, or connect via API or Shopify. Standard delivery is available for on-demand (ASAP) or scheduled pickups.
Driver dispatched from the network
UniHop selects the best available driver for the order. For ASAP orders, a driver is dispatched within minutes. For scheduled orders, the driver arrives at your requested pickup time.
Dispatch monitors the run
The dispatch team watches the delivery from pickup through drop-off. Most issues are resolved by contacting the driver directly — you don't have to get involved.
Delivery confirmed
The customer receives SMS updates at every milestone and a photo confirmation on arrival. The full delivery record stays in your portal dashboard.
Use cases
Where Standard delivery fits
Restaurants and cafes
High-volume individual orders where speed and cost-efficiency matter. Standard delivery keeps per-order costs down without sacrificing visibility or monitoring.
Retail and boutique shops
Same-day delivery for individual customer orders — from online purchases to in-store orders placed for delivery. No minimum order volume required.
Grocery and specialty food
Individual grocery runs, same-day specialty food delivery, and perishable orders that need to move quickly and reliably.
Bakeries and pharmacies
Daily individual deliveries where predictable costs and reliable pickups matter. Works well for businesses with consistent daily volume or those supplementing an in-house driver with overflow capacity.
Delivery styles
When to use Standard — and when to consider others
Standard delivery is the right choice for frequent, cost-effective individual orders. For orders that need a dedicated driver from start to finish — catering, fragile items, or event deliveries — Special Handling is the better fit. For multiple stops in a single run, Multi-stop routing offers better efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions
Standard delivery is UniHop's most cost-effective delivery style. UniHop selects the best available driver from the dispatch network for each order. Every delivery includes real-time GPS tracking, SMS status updates, photo confirmation, and dispatch monitoring from pickup to drop-off. No contracts or minimum orders required.
No. Standard delivery assigns the best available driver from the network for each order — not a dedicated driver. For orders that require one driver from pickup through delivery, such as catering or fragile items, Special Handling is the right choice.

Working with UniHop has been a game changer for our business. We use them to deliver our wholesale pastries and desserts, and the process has been smooth and reliable from the start. Before Unihop, I was handling deliveries myself, so having a dependable delivery partner has saved us a huge amount of time and helped us stay focused on production and customer service.
