Does Zendrun work in Calabar?

Errands can be posted here, but there are no runners in Calabar yet — the first are in Lagos and Ibadan. What you post waits until a verified runner in the city takes it.

How far does one errand reach in Calabar?

20 km from the centre: Watt, Marian, State Housing, Ekorinim and out towards 8 Miles.

Can a runner shop at Watt Market for me?

Yes. You set the most they may spend and it is held in escrow with their fee. Above that figure they ask you in the app and wait for an answer.

What do I need to run errands in Calabar?

Phone verification, your NIN with a liveness selfie, and a bank account in your own name. Each one raises how much you may front at a counter.

Watt Market, Marian and the Cross River secretariat

Watt Market in the morning, a counter on Calabar Road after it. Send a verified runner, watch the check-ins, and pay at the handover rather than in advance.

How sending someone works

1
Post and fund
Say what you need, the most the runner may spend, and a fee. That total is held from your wallet. Nothing goes live unfunded.
2
They run it
A verified runner accepts, checks in from the queue or the counter, and pays with their own money up to your ceiling.
3
Hand over
They show a 6-digit code; you type it into your phone. That releases the money — their spend back, plus the fee. Anything unused returns to you.

How it works in full Post one anyway

The errands people ask about most

Why a runner can be trusted with your money

Nobody can front a naira until they have passed phone, national ID with a liveness selfie, and a bank account in their own name. What they may spend is capped by how far through that they have gone — and by the ceiling you set on the errand.
