Hey friend, have you ever needed to be in two places at once? Have you ever wished you had a friend that could run an errand for you, but no family or friends were available to help? Bootlegger Runs can help! The idea of Bootlegger Runs is that someone is already near what you need that is also heading your direction. Need groceries, hardware, or a baseball glove from grandma’s house; if it’s legal, one of our Bootleggers can deliver it for you! Our Bootleggers might be driving, flying, floating, walking, or even riding a horse! They can be some-timers, part-timers, or full-time Bootleggers; but they all have a sufficiently clean Motor Vehicle Report (MVR) records and a clear criminal background check; and, for your safety, we check their records continuously. How does Bootlegger Runs work? Customers post the errands and deliveries they need. Once posted, all users with the app can see what you need, where you need it from, where you need it delivered, and how much you’re willing to pay them to deliver it. Then, the Bootlegger can Claim the Run, Pass it to a friend, or, if your Offer to the Bootlegger isn’t enough, the Bootlegger can Counter your Offer. Once Claimed, your delivery is on its way! It is that easy! Download the app now and experience the difference of on-demand delivery without all the fees or restrictions!
