- The runner keeps the fee; listed add-ons cover extra items, heavier groceries, and distance beyond half a mile.
Field notes
The listed fee starts at $2, then adds charges for items beyond the first three, heavy groceries, and distance beyond half a mile. The page says the runner keeps the fee and that grocery prices are not marked up. It names cash or Venmo for payment; the upcoming-runs area also shows “Loading runs…,” so the stated beta trip may be the only currently visible option.
