Once installed, you simply register an account and top up your wallet.<\/p>\n<p>Next, you use the app to choose the pudo locker you wish to have your item delivered to and provide the recipient details. And, with 1100 lockers around the country to choose from, there are very few places you can\u2019t send stuff to.<\/p>\n<p>If you want the item to be collected from your home or work, you will need to provide an address for The Courier Guy to collect. Alternatively, you simply book a locker on the app and deposit your item into it.<\/p>\n<p>Either way, The Courier Guy will pick up the parcel and deliver it to the specified destination at which time the recipient will be notified of the item\u2019s arrival via SMS.<\/p>\n<p>They can then use the provided PIN or QR code to open the locker and collect their delivery.<\/p>\n<p>With pudo you can send locker to locker, door to locker and locker to door. This is thanks to The Courier Guy\u2019s extensive nationwide footprint.<\/p>\n<p>The company also recently introduced a counter to locker service from all their 170 nationwide Kiosks starting at just R65 including packaging and VAT.<\/p>\n<p><a  data-lightbox=\"post-image\" href=\"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/04-pudo-prices-HR4.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-663323\" src=\"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/04-pudo-prices-HR4.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/04-pudo-prices-HR4.jpeg 2362w, https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/04-pudo-prices-HR4-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/04-pudo-prices-HR4-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/04-pudo-prices-HR4-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/04-pudo-prices-HR4-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/04-pudo-prices-HR4-2048x1366.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/04-pudo-prices-HR4-1200x800.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Affordable and convenient<\/h3>\n<p>pudo\u2019s streamlined service is matched by its very affordable prices, which are based on the size of your parcel and chosen locker. This means if you have a small item to deliver you won\u2019t pay for unnecessary space or weight.<\/p>\n<p>Locker to locker pricing starts at just R50 for an extra small parcel up to 2kg while parcels between 5kg and 20kg will only cost you just R60! (locker to door \/door to locker prices differ but are still very affordable.)<\/p>\n<p>This compares very favourably against competing parcel delivery services, and when you add in the extra safety and convenience of a using smart locker, pudo is a no brainer.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, with pudo, you seldom have to interact with a company representative or delivery person. You can simply drop off or pick up your parcel from your closest locker at a time that suits you (lockers, apart from ones in shopping malls, are available 24\/7).<\/p>\n<p>This means you never have to worry about missed deliveries.<\/p>\n<p>pudo offers the next step in smart delivery services and is the perfect choice if you need an affordable, easy-to-use, safe, and efficient courier service.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pudo.co.za\/?utm_source=BusinessTech&amp;utm_medium=Article&amp;utm_term=February+2023\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Click here to learn more about Pudo and how it works.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Pudo HowTo Explainer\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/o-_g04mo0GU\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With 1,100 lockers and counting, The Courier Guy\u2019s pudo service is a simple and affordable way to deliver your items nationwide. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":57,"featured_media":663343,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10459],"tags":[17793],"class_list":["post-663321","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-industry-news","tag-the-courier-guy"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/663321","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/57"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=663321"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/663321\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":663337,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/663321\/revisions\/663337"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/663343"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=663321"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=663321"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=663321"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
