Can someone shop at Bodija for me?

Yes. You set the most they may spend; it is held in escrow with their fee before the errand starts. They pay at the stall with their own money, photograph the goods and the receipt, and are reimbursed when you enter the handover code.

What if the price is higher than I allowed?

They ask you in the app with a photo and wait for an answer. No approval, no purchase — they cannot spend over your ceiling.

What if an item is out of stock?

Post it as a shopping list and say per item what you want done: nearest alternative, call me, or skip. That way the answer is already there when they are at the stall.

Do you deliver across Ibadan?

A runner can take an errand anywhere inside Ibadan — the city is set to a 30 km radius from the centre, which reaches Ojoo, Apata and Akobo. Handover is in person, with the code.

Send someone to Bodija Market

Bodija on a market morning is two hours you have not got. Send a verified runner with a list and a ceiling, watch the check-ins, and pay at the handover rather than in advance.

Post this errand

A ceiling you set, and a receipt you see

Market prices move and a padded figure is the oldest complaint in this trade, so the figure is not taken on trust. The runner types what they actually spent and photographs the receipt and the goods at the stall. It is reconciled against your ceiling on the spot, before any money leaves escrow.

What people send a runner to Bodija for

Ibadan's main food market, and the stalls around it.

A week's foodstuff bought to a list, with quantities and an estimate each.
Yam, rice, oil and pepper in bulk, where going yourself means a vehicle.
The one thing out of stock everywhere else.
A delivery to Akobo, Jericho, Bodija estate or anywhere else in Ibadan.

Say what to do if something is not there

Half the trouble with sending anyone to a market is the item that has run out. Post the errand with a shopping list rather than a paragraph: item, quantity, your estimate, and what you want if it is unavailable — the nearest alternative, a call to you, or skip it. Then the decision is already made when they are standing at the stall.

How the money works

The ceiling, its headroom, the runner's fee and the platform fee are all held from your wallet before the errand goes live. The runner pays with their own money at the stall and escrow pays them back at the handover code. Unused escrow comes back to you in full.
