2323, Anyone run an Errand Service? I have a question -- Posted by lilly4, Fri Apr-04-08 04:32 AM
From research I've done, I've seen most people charge an hourly rate (or a per/task rate) for errands, and for something such as gift or grocery shopping, they may charge 10% of the total bill.
For instance, they buy all the groceries on the cutomer's list, then take 10% of the grocery bill, and the customer pays that in addition to the hourly rate for the shopping.
Is this how it usually works?
Thanks for any advice ~

I can't comment on how it "usually works", but this rate sounds fair.
