Describe the action, city and desired result so we can assess a manageable task. Image description: Illustration of everyday Chinese neighbourhood life and a local helper carrying a parcel AI-generated scene illustration · People, locations and documents shown are illustrative. ## Turn a general request into an achievable errand An effective brief identifies what must happen, where, by when and who will authorise access or handover. For a collection, list the item, counterparty and proof of authorisation they accept. For a gift, specify the recipient's agreement, budget and permitted alternatives. For an enquiry, provide the questions and the kind of answer you need. We check availability and third-party requirements before agreeing to take the task. ## How we would approach it 1. 01 Describe the task, city, counterpart, preferred date and how you will authorise collection or access. 1. 02 Agree the visit or contact plan, expense limit and what to do if the counterparty is unavailable. 1. 03 Receive the agreed progress notes, available receipts or a permitted handover record, including any unfinished items. ## What you could receive - An agreed record of the pickup, delivery, enquiry or appointment coordination. - Permitted photos or available receipts where they help document the task. - A clear account of completed actions and anything awaiting your decision. ILLUSTRATIVE REQUEST · NOT A CUSTOMER STORY ## Example: collect an agreed item from a local shop A shop in Changsha is holding an item for me. Please first confirm that it accepts my collection authorisation, then quote the pickup and local handover. Ask me before buying packaging or accepting a different item. If it cannot be released, report the reason and discuss the next step. This is an example request, not a completed delivery. ## What needs separate agreement Some offices require the applicant to attend personally or use a prescribed authorisation. We confirm the actual requirements rather than promise that any paperwork can be handled by a proxy. Personal impersonation, access without permission and guarantees of government or company decisions are not part of the service. Sensitive documents and private addresses should be shared only after the appropriate contact and scope are confirmed. ## Before you book Can someone collect documents or attend an appointment for me? Only where the organisation permits representation and the required authorisation can be provided. Send general details first so eligibility can be checked; some tasks require your personal attendance. Can you help outside Hunan? We can assess other locations through personal contacts or agreed travel. The available person, exact location, date, access and travel costs must be confirmed per task; nationwide immediate coverage is not promised. What happens if the errand cannot be finished? Agree a fallback before the visit. We report the obstacle and ask before changing scope, spending more or making another attempt. The quote should explain the treatment of time and travel already incurred. ## How the quote is built Time, route, waiting and task complexity affect the individual quote. Purchases, transport, postage, packaging and third-party fees are separately agreed. Confirm an expense limit and whether a failed-access visit or extra attempt is chargeable before the work starts. ## What to send us first Goal, city, item or office details, contact, date, authorisation requirements, expense limit and your preferred evidence of completion.
