Frequently asked questions

What does it cost to have someone shop for me?

A grocery run is typically 4 000 – 8 000 Ft, or 3 500 – 6 000 Ft per hour. That's the service fee — the cost of the goods is on top.

How do I pay for the goods?

Usually you transfer the estimated amount in advance or settle on delivery against the receipt. Always ask for the receipt; it's the simplest way to reconcile.

Can someone shop for my elderly parent?

Yes, it's one of the most common requests. Give the exact address, their usual shop and whether it needs carrying upstairs.

Can they handle official errands?

Queueing and collecting documents, yes. Anything where they'd act in your name needs written authorisation — prepare it in advance or they'll be turned away at the counter.
