Pricing

How much do deliveries using TUYA cost?

With TUYA, you will always have upfront pricing before you place an order. The price depends on factors such as the level of urgency, the distance, the weight, and the prevailing traffic conditions.

Are there any extra fees?

A wait time fee could be added if a delivery item isn’t ready when a driver arrives. If a driver is unable to deliver a package, an attempt fee may also be applied. 

Help with Same-Day Deliveries 

Are there any restrictions on the items I can send same-day?

Items must be under 3,000 pounds and be able to fit in a sprinter van. We cannot ship hazardous materials or people.

What policy and procedures does TUYA have for handling fragile materials?

Delivery professionals handle each item as instructed. When placing an order, please provide instructions on material handling. Make sure that your delivery item is packaged accordingly.

What if I have a question not listed here?

Please contact customer support at (833) 4TUYA-NOW.

Delivery Professionals 

How can I add a delivery professional to a limited group?

In order to add a delivery professional to a group, the delivery professional must have driven for you before.

My preferred delivery professional doesn’t appear in the search results. How can I send this driver an exclusive order?

For privacy reasons, you cannot search for a driver using their name until they have already made a delivery for you. You must know their driver number, or the driver must have driven for you before. Please ask your preferred driver for his/her driver number in order to send an exclusive offer to them.

Are delivery drivers on the TUYA platform employees?

No; they are independent contractors.

Will the delivery professionals wear uniforms or any identification?

All drivers are encouraged to wear a TUYA lanyard and an ID badge that will include their driver number.

Where can I file a complaint against a delivery driver?

We strive to provide the very best service. If a driver did not meet your expectations, please contact the TUYA helpline at (833) 4TUYA-NOW, and we will work to correct the issue.
