GoSwiftSame-day courier service for NYC small businesses: what it costs.
Shops, offices, florists and online stores all need the same thing: something across town today, at a price they know before they book. Here is how same-day courier delivery works in New York City with GoSwift, and exactly what it costs.
The price, upfront
| Trip | Business account | One-off (no account) |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 3 miles | $14.99 | $16.99 |
| 5 miles | $18.99 | $20.99 |
| 8 miles | $24.99 | $26.99 |
| 12 miles | $32.99 | $34.99 |
Car only or large packages up to 50 lb are $12 more. You see the exact price, based on real driving miles, before you book. No surge pricing, no commission on what you sell.
Charge your customer and pay about $7
Most businesses pass part of the cost on. Charge your customer $7.99 for delivery and a 3-mile delivery costs you about $7. That’s cheaper than paying a driver to wait around, and you never pay for a slow day.
How booking works
