Careem has launched phase one of the brand-new service ‘Box’, a delivery option that can be booked via the app. This is part of the company’s commitment to simplify the consumer’s life with easy to use technology, that assists in transporting people and now their goods.
The firm spotted a trend in consumer habits with many customers using the app to deliver items from A-B. The new delivery service, which is currently in its first phase, offers a more affordable and convenient option when needing to transport people’s possessions. BOX is an efficient way to pick up and deliver items, it also has a reliable in-app tracking system that allows the customer to see exactly where their package is.

The company has trained each and every delivery driver on the brand to ensure expectations are not only met but exceeded.

This is part of our commitment to deliver what our customers are looking for, and a more affordable delivery service is exactly that. The initial phase of the service is crucial and we look forward to seeing how it is received.”
Booking the service is as simple as ordering a Careem car, simply open the app, select the icon for Box, and then follow the standard booking service steps.
