Safe Meetup Guidelines
Tips for safe item handoffs and pickups.
1Choosing a Location
Meet in well-lit, public places whenever possible. Many users prefer meeting at their home for large items, which is fine if you feel comfortable. Trust your instincts.
Tips
- Police station parking lots are ideal meetup spots
- Coffee shops and store parking lots work well
- For large items, bring a friend if meeting at a home
2Timing Your Meetup
Schedule meetups during daylight hours when possible. Confirm the time the day before and share your plans with someone you trust. Have a backup plan if the meeting falls through.
Important
- •Never meet in isolated or unfamiliar areas
- •Trust your instincts - if something feels off, reschedule
3During the Exchange
Inspect the item thoroughly before confirming pickup. Take photos together to document the condition. Ask any questions about operation before leaving.
Tips
- Test the item if possible before leaving
- Get a brief tutorial on complex equipment
- Exchange phone numbers for emergencies
4Returning Items
Return items on time and in the same condition. Take photos before and after return. Wait for the owner to confirm the return before leaving.
