Questions
Can I book for my parents if I live overseas?
Yes, as long as you can pay by card. You post the job, choose the provider and pay from wherever you are. The work happens at your parents' place back home.
How will the provider get in touch with Mum or Dad?
Through you, in the chat. Once the job is booked you can share their number so the provider can let them know when they're on the way.
What if something goes wrong?
Your payment is held until you confirm the job is done, so you're not paying for work that isn't right. Raise it with the provider in the chat first. If you can't sort it out, use Chat with us and we'll help.
Is it free to post?
Yes. Posting a job is free. If you book someone, you pay their price plus a 10% service fee at checkout.
