Getcho ("get-cho") runs shipping and delivery for brands and 3PLs at every location. Any store or warehouse can fulfill: Getcho prices each order across carriers and local couriers, dispatches it through partners or your own drivers, and watches it to the door. Checkout offers live rates, same-day delivery and pickup. Stock moves between locations. Failed deliveries are caught and claimed.
Yes. Getcho lets any location fulfill, not only a central warehouse. An order can ship from the store holding stock — with a parcel label for standard shipping, or with a local delivery partner when the customer is nearby.
Yes, on Shopify. Live rates replace flat shipping fees at checkout, with box and weight logic so the quote matches what ships. Getcho assigns the cheapest available carrier that meets each order, and nearby customers can also choose same-day delivery or pickup.

Yes. The Getcho Shopify POS Extension embeds the same-day delivery queue directly in Shopify POS — including POS Lite, with no POS Pro subscription required. Your team sees a tabbed task view (Need to Pack, On Pickup, On Dropoff, Delivered), scans items with the POS camera for barcode verification, and dispatches a courier in one tap. Slack or SMS pings when a new order hits the queue.

Yes, we support businesses offering rentals by managing deliveries and pickups for rental items. Customers can schedule flexible delivery and return times to meet their needs.
Yes. Getcho supports same-day round trips, where a single driver completes the delivery and returns to your store on the same run — bringing back signed paperwork, reusable totes and containers, or equipment. A driver can also make a stop and come back to where they started, all in one dispatched job.
Yes, we support recurring and subscription-based deliveries. We save customer profiles and delivery preferences, so the experience is consistent—customers don't have to repeat their instructions with each delivery.
Yes, deliveries can be scheduled up to 7 days in advance, ensuring flexibility and convenience.
Deliveries are typically dispatched within minutes. Multi-signal dispatch sends your order to multiple fleets simultaneously — the first available driver wins the job. Most orders are completed within hours. We also support scheduled, next-day, and recurring deliveries.
You'll be notified, fast. Getcho actively monitors every delivery and surfaces issues like a mismatched or missed pickup so your team can send a replacement right away. You choose how you hear about it — Slack, SMS, or email — and notifications are fully configurable. For most stores we also recommend barcode verification at pickup, which scans each item against the order so the wrong package is caught before it ever leaves the door. And when it's a no-harm mix-up (a driver marks picked up without actually grabbing the order, or returns unnecessarily), Getcho will often redispatch on the store's behalf automatically — frequently before anyone has to lift a finger. We stay very hands-on with our store teams.
For all intents and purposes, immediately. Once a quote is accepted, the order enters dispatch. Our most common workflow assigns the cheapest available carrier, and in that case the order is assigned to a delivery partner right away. If speed is what you care about most, we can optimize for the fastest available driver instead — dispatch is modular, so we're happy to chat about what fits your operation. For orders scheduled in advance, the same applies as the delivery window approaches, and scheduled orders can be canceled for free up until dispatch.
Yes — this happens all the time, and we use APIs to update orders on the fly. Before a driver is assigned, order details can be modified directly. Even after a driver has picked up, reach out and we can usually still get updated instructions where they need to go.
It depends on timing. If a driver is already en route, the fleet usually charges a cancellation fee, which is passed along. If the cancellation was due to a Getcho dispatch mistake, Getcho may absorb that fee. And if "not ready yet" is something your store runs into regularly, let's talk — we've got solutions, including dispatching only once an order is actually packed rather than purely around the scheduled window.
