Package Delivery for Seniors
An elderly New Yorker with a package at the curb or the lobby can't always get it upstairs. Here's how a pickup-and-carry service helps.
The Curb-to-Door Carry
A carrier leaves a package at the building door or the lobby. A pro carries it from the curb to the apartment, up the elevator or the stairs. The senior doesn't have to lift it.
The Authorization
If the package is held at a desk or a post office, the senior authorizes the pro to pick it up — a signed note and an ID copy. We walk through the desk's release.
Recurring Deliveries
For a senior who receives regular packages (prescriptions, groceries, medical supplies), a standing pickup arrangement means each delivery gets to the apartment without the senior carrying it.
The Walk-Up
A senior in a walk-up is the most common use case. A pro with a stair dolly gets a heavy package up the flights safely.
Same-Day
A same-day pickup is usually available — the package arrives at the senior's door within hours of being ready.
The $45 Flat
A single package to a senior's apartment usually fits the $45 flat. Recurring pickups can be arranged.
