Hot-shot Delivery

Get It Picked’s Hot-shot Delivery is for those deliveries that can’t wait. When a part breaks, a client is waiting, or a document has to be delivered today, we pick it up and deliver it within 1 hour in serviceable Nova Scotia areas. You book it, we dispatch the nearest driver, and the parcel is on the move. Built as one of the fastest local delivery options in HRM, it removes the need to call five different couriers.

What is 1-Hour Hot-shot Delivery?

It’s an on-demand, priority delivery service where your parcel jumps the queue. Instead of going in a batch run or end-of-day delivery, it gets picked up immediately and taken straight to the drop location. No warehouse, no sorting, no delays. Ideal for B2B emergencies and high-value B2C orders.
