Last updated
16 Oct 2024
Service standards are rules that couriers must follow. If you follow these rules, users are more likely to give you a high rating.
How to interact with users
Be polite — remember to say hello and goodbye, and always address users politely.
Smile — your mood will affect the overall impression you give.
Read the order comments and try your best to follow them. If it says “Do not ring the doorbell”, make sure to knock instead. There might be a sleeping child inside, and ringing the doorbell will wake them up.
There is no need to start a conversation or make comments about something unrelated to an order. This will help you avoid wasting time and prevent accidental conflict.
Don’t ask a user to give you a good rating. If you do everything correctly, the user will most likely give you a good rating anyway.
What to wear
There is no dress code for couriers.
We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and footwear. This is important even if you’re driving, as you’ll need to leave your car for door-to-door deliveries.
Please avoid wearing sportswear, beachwear, tank tops, slippers, or flip-flops. This kind of clothing can look unprofessional, and you may receive a low rating as a result.
What to take with you
The following items may be useful when fulfilling orders:
cash to give users change
a phone charger or power bank
Fulfilling orders
After accepting an order, go straight to the sender’s address.
If the order includes the door-to-door service, pick up the package at the door of the sender’s apartment or office, and deliver it straight to the door of the recipient’s apartment or office.
Vehicle requirements
Your vehicle information must be entered correctly. Make sure the type, make, model, license plate number, and size (if applicable) of your vehicle correspond to the information provided in Yandex Pro.
Your vehicle’s interior must be clean and dry. Clean the mats and seats regularly, as they’re likely to get dirty quickly. If the inside of your vehicle is dirty, the package may also get dirty.
Code of conduct
Do not be rude to users and/or Yandex Delivery specialists.
Do not start conflicts.
Do not ask a sender to cancel an order or make a delivery outside of Yandex Pro.
Do not ask the user to give you a 5-point rating for the delivery.
Do not ask a recipient for more money than the amount specified in the Yandex Pro app.
If you have the insulated bag option enabled in the app, do not arrive for orders without one, and make sure you have first completed the photo check in Yandex Pro.
Do not open or damage packages. If a package is already damaged when you come to collect it, take a photo of the damage at the sender’s address. NOTE: The user’s face should not be visible in the photo.
Do not keep packages for yourself.
Do not complete orders under someone else’s profile or transfer your account to another courier.
Do not use the sender or recipient’s data for personal purposes. Do not call or message users for reasons unrelated to an order.
Do not go online when intoxicated.
Do not act dishonestly toward the Yandex Delivery service.
