Frequently asked questions
How does Smart Taurus work?
Smart Taurus is a delivery and transport marketplace. You post a job free with details, photos and dates; verified transport professionals send competing quotes; you compare prices, profiles and reviews, then book, track the job in real time and pay securely in-app via Stripe.
Is it free to post a job?
Yes. Posting a job on Smart Taurus is completely free. You only pay when you accept a quote and book a transporter.
How fast do quotes arrive?
It depends on your route and timing, but quotes can start arriving shortly after you post. Jobs on busy routes with clear details, photos and flexible dates typically attract quotes fastest, because more transporters can fit them into journeys they are already making.
What items can I send?
Almost anything that fits in a van or truck: single items of furniture, full house moves, parcels, eBay and marketplace purchases, pallets and freight, and vehicles including cars and motorbikes. Browse all Smart Taurus services to find the right category for your job.
How do I get the cheapest price?
Be flexible on dates. Transporters offer their lowest prices when your job fills spare space on a journey they are already making — a backload. Flexible pickup and delivery windows attract more of these quotes. Read what is backloading to see how it works.
What is the difference between Smart Taurus and a courier company?
A courier or removal company gives you one price from one fleet. Smart Taurus is a marketplace: many independent verified transporters compete for your job, so you see multiple quotes and choose on price, reviews and timing rather than accepting a single rate.
How do I pay?
You pay securely in the Smart Taurus app when you book. Payments are processed by Stripe, so you never need to hand cash to a driver or share card details with the transporter.
Is my payment protected?
Payments are handled in-app and processed by Stripe, a leading payment provider, rather than paid directly to the driver. Your card details are never shared with the transporter, and your booking and payment record stay in the app.
Can I message the transporter before and after booking?
Yes. Smart Taurus includes in-app messaging, so you can clarify details with a transporter before accepting a quote and stay in touch throughout the job.
Can I track my delivery?
Yes. Smart Taurus provides real-time tracking, so you can follow your delivery from pickup to drop-off inside the app instead of waiting on phone updates.
Do I need to be home for pickup?
Someone usually needs to hand over the item and, for larger jobs, provide access — but it does not have to be you. Agree the arrangement with your transporter through in-app messaging; for marketplace purchases, the seller often hands the item over at collection.
What happens if something is damaged?
Document the damage with photos as soon as you notice it and contact the transporter through in-app messaging. Before booking, check the insurance cover described on the transporter’s profile — cover levels differ, which is one reason to compare profiles, not just prices. Smart Taurus support ([email protected]) can assist if you cannot resolve it with the transporter.
Who are the transporters and how are they verified?
Transporters on Smart Taurus are independent transport professionals — couriers, man-and-van operators, removal firms, and car and vehicle-recovery specialists. Each has a verified profile carrying ratings and written reviews from previous Smart Taurus customers, so you can check a track record before booking.
How do reviews work?
After a job is completed, the customer rates the transporter and can leave a written review. Reviews are tied to real completed bookings and appear on the transporter’s profile alongside every future quote they send.
Can transporters join Smart Taurus and find work?
Yes. If you drive a van or truck and want to fill empty miles with paid jobs, download the Smart Taurus app for iOS or Android, create a transporter profile and start quoting on jobs along your routes.
How should I choose between quotes?
Do not automatically take the cheapest. Compare the transporter’s reviews, completed-job history, insurance cover and how they communicate, alongside price and timing. Our guide on how to choose a transporter walks through it step by step.
What countries does Smart Taurus operate in?
Smart Taurus is UK-based and English-first, and is expanding to serve customers worldwide, with priority on the United Kingdom, United States, Canada and Australia.
Is Smart Taurus available on iPhone and Android?
Yes. Smart Taurus is available on iOS and Android, and there is a web app you can use in a browser.
