What exactly is an errand service?
At TKO Errand Services, we take care of the chores and errands that you either don’t have the time for, or would simply prefer not to do.
We provide the services that seem to eat up many of your daily hours, leaving you time to pursue the things that matter most to you, whether it’s putting your feet up and reading a novel, spending precious time with family and friends, or advancing your career.
We can also be a big help to new parents, senior citizens and their caregivers, and those who may be recuperating from an illness and injury and are unable to get around as well as usual. Small businesses or home businesses with no budget for secretarial help may find our "on-call" service extremely helpful; no hiring, tax, or payroll hassles. With no memberships or long-term contracts, our services can be used on an as-needed basis.
Who can use an errand service?
Everybody! Senior citizens, busy families, new parents, and small businesses can all benefit from the services we provide. We can help take care of all the little details and give you the peace of mind of simply knowing that everything on your “to-do” list is actually done!
What and how do you charge for errand services?
TKO Errand Services charges $50.00 per hour for most errands, with a standard 10% discount for senior citizens and their caregivers. You are responsible for all expenses incurred (cost of your groceries, postage, dry cleaning, etc.). There is a one hour minimum, thereafter you will be charged in fifteen minute increments. There are no membership fees, obligations, or “hidden charges.” Our hourly rate is standard, whether you call us three times a week, or once a month. The only exception is service requested to be done out of our jurisdiction may result in a small additional fee.
Can I set up a monthly or weekly schedule?
Of course. We'd be happy to sit down with you at any time to discuss how we can best meet your needs. At that time, we can work out a weekly or monthly schedule of service that suits you, or you can simply remain on an “on-call” basis. The choice is always yours. Also, see our Services & Rates page for discounted monthly plans.
What methods of payment do you accept?
We currently accept payments by cash, check, credit card and Paypal. You will be given a detailed invoice of the service provided, as well as receipts for anything purchased on your behalf. Payment is due at completion of services, unless other arrangements have been made in advance.
How do I arrange for errand service?
Just give us a call at 925-437-0771 (main), or email your request to [email protected]
Do I have to call weeks ahead to schedule?
Absolutely not. While we prefer at least a 24 hour notice for most errands in order to best schedule for the needs of all clients, we certainly understand that it isn’t always possible. There may be days when you simply don’t know ahead of time that you will need help. We will make every effort to accommodate same day requests, so please don’t hesitate to call whenever the need arises.
I called your office and there was no answer. Why?
TKO Errand Services is an “on the road” type of business. Thus, if no one answers your call at the main number 925-437-0771, that means that we are out running errands for our clients. However, I am always reachable by phone or via email if the need is not urgent. If for any reason you are unable to get an answer at the main number, it would be because I am meeting with a client and giving them the courtesy of full attention during our meeting. So, please do leave a message if your call is not answered, and your call will be returned promptly, usually within fifteen minutes.
What if I want to order errand services for someone else?
Gift Certificates are always available, or we can work with clients to set up a custom plan. For instance, if you have an elderly relative or new parents that you would like to set up weekly, monthly, or even one-time services for, we will be glad to work out the details with you. We can even give you a call after every visit to your relative’s home to let you know how things are going. Whatever you need. You may also want to consider a discounted Package Plan.
