What is hourly personal shopping on Locufy?
Errands and the weekly shop — by the hour
Hourly personal shopping is one local person you book by the hour for the shopping and errands you'd rather hand over: the weekly shop, pharmacy runs, returns and collections, gifts, or a wardrobe sort — at a rate they show up front. Most people book an hour or two a week and keep the same shopper. You pay for the goods; the shopper hands over receipts.

The rate you see is the rate you pay
Credit makes it lower
Personal shoppers set their own hourly rates. Locufy Credit comes off that rate automatically when you book — no codes, and it doesn't expire. Every referral and every review adds more.
- €10credit that lowers hourly service rates — sign up and download the app
- €10per friend — both of you
- €1for every review
To get your €10: sign up and download the Locufy app.
The credit lands in your account in the app and reduces your hourly rate.
Typically around 10% off the rate; the exact amount depends on the personal shopper.
Example — 2 hours of personal shopping
- Personal shopper's rate
- €20/hr
- With your €10 credit that lowers hourly service rates
- about €18/hr
- You pay for 2 hours
- €36 €40
No subscription fees. Our job is getting your rate down — not adding to it.
How it works
Booked in three steps
- 1
Say where you are
Town or area is enough — personal shoppers are ranked by real distance to you.
- 2
Compare shoppers
Hourly rate, distance, badges and reviews from booked jobs — side by side.
- 3
Book the hours
One-off or repeating. Instant Book confirms on the spot; others confirm your request. Extend during the job if you need to.
Rather not search? Post the job.
Say what you need, your hours and your budget. Local personal shoppers see it and contact you — free, no account, no app needed.
What protects you
The checks behind every booking
What we do before you book, and what happens if something goes wrong.
They prove who they are
Providers prove who they are with photo ID. We check it's really them — then the ID is deleted, not kept. The “ID checked” badge shows who has done it.
Garda vetting & references on request
Badges on the profile show which ones a personal shopper has; the documents themselves are never published. Request them with one tap: if they're on file, they come straight to you.
Reviews with a make-it-right step
Under four stars, you're asked first whether to send it to the personal shopper so they can put it right — and we follow it through. Sorted or not, you then leave whatever review you want.
Your number stays private
Calls and messages open once a booking is confirmed and run through Locufy, so you never have to hand out your number — unless you want to.
No-show protection
If a personal shopper doesn't turn up, it's recorded. Three no-shows and they're suspended from Locufy for six months.
Hours that are real
Personal shoppers confirm their available hours every month, or they stop showing — so the people you see are actually taking work.
A personal shopper without the Garda vetting or reference badge hasn't failed anything — they just haven't added it yet. You can always ask them to.
We're new, and we won't pretend otherwise
No invented ratings or “trusted by thousands” here — reviews appear as real customers leave them (see us on Trustpilot). We are growing area by area. None in yours yet? Tell us where you are and our team will go and find someone.
