Errands and deliveries in Ghana

Traffic on the Accra to Kumasi road, the Tema motorway and the Kasoa stretch can swallow a whole morning. Taskers can buy foodstuff at Makola or Kejetia, collect parcels from a station, drop documents or queue on your behalf.

Say exactly what is needed, where to go and the deadline. If items must be bought, the tasker can request an advance, which you approve.
