You should begin completing a gig containing a prescription as soon as possible after you accept and pick it up, so that it can be delivered within the required delivery window.

Timing expectations

• Prescription deliveries are treated as time‑sensitive, so platforms expect you to start the route immediately after pickup, not at a later, more convenient time.

• Repeatedly starting late or delivering after the stated window can lead to penalties on many delivery platforms, including lower ratings or loss of access to similar gigs.

Practical rule to follow

• Once the pharmacy has handed you the prescription and the app shows the route as started, drive directly toward the drop‑off location and complete that gig before taking breaks or stacking non‑urgent tasks.
