Company profile

researched Sep 2026

Pickups Technologies Inc. (also presented as Pickupss Technologies) is a Brooklyn, New York company operating a hyperlocal final-mile package delivery network. The model has two participant groups: "Spacers" — small businesses with spare space that receive packages dropped off by shipping carriers — and "Neighbors" — local residents who collect a cart of packages from a Spacer and deliver them on foot to recipients within five blocks or less, earning payment per delivery. The company markets potential earnings of up to $2,500 a month to Neighbors and recruits both sides of the network through its website.

In earlier descriptions of the service, the platform was positioned as a peer-to-peer shipping option in which an online shopper selects "Ship with Pickups" and chooses from available neighbors to receive and hand off a package, addressing missed deliveries, returned or lost parcels and trips to the post office. In accelerator materials the company is characterized as a hyperlocal supply chain partner for retailers and shipping carriers, intended to help them optimize fulfillment and delivery capabilities sustainably.
