8 steps to deliver every order the first time

Stop “the courier couldn’t find the address” and “nobody was home”. Follow these steps and every shipment arrives the first time.

01
Confirm the order is real

Call or message the customer to confirm the order is genuine - not everyone who orders online really wants the item - and review the details together.

02
Show the full price

Make the total clear and impossible to misread, shipping included.

Product 500 EGP + shipping 50 EGP = 550 EGP total · Cash on delivery or online?
03
Ask how they’ll receive it

Door delivery or pickup from the nearest branch? If they work all day, offer delivery to their workplace.

04
Get a second phone number

Take a main number plus a backup - ideally on WhatsApp. If the courier can’t reach them, the shipment may come back.

05
Write a detailed address

Not just the area name - the full address, so the courier arrives without repeated calls.

Building no. · Street · District · City · Floor & apartment · A landmark (supermarket, pharmacy, mosque)
06
Arabic address on the airway bill

Write the address in Arabic so the courier understands it, and encourage customers to type it in Arabic at checkout.

07
Agree who can receive it

Will they receive it themselves? If not, a neighbour or the building guard can receive it for them.

08
Tell them when it arrives

Share the expected delivery time and send the tracking link. Customers who know when to expect a parcel are ready to receive it.
