Live Tracking

This FAQ explains how to receive ETA notifications from CHILL, including required contact info, notification timing, ETA updates, proof of delivery, handling cancellations, and custom branding options.

Receiving Notifications

  • What do you need to provide CHILL to ensure you receive ETA notifications?
    • An email and contact number must be included in the delivery/pickup address of the booking.
    • Mobile number format : +614XXXXXXXX
  • What are the office contact hours for any order updates?
    • Standard business hours are 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
  • Are notifications provided for all orders?
    • Currently, email and SMS notifications are exclusively available for orders directly fulfilled by Chill. Orders managed by our trusted partners (On Forwarders) do not currently receive these notifications.

Delivery Notifications

  • What time will the notification be sent the day before delivery?
    • Notifications are sent between 6:00 PM and 8:00 PM, after all delivery runs are planned for the next day.
  • Can there be changes in the ETA on the day of delivery?
    • The estimated arrival time (ETA) sent the day before your delivery/pickup is based on the planned schedule within the specified time window of the order. Throughout the day, this ETA is dynamically updated based on the driver's location, remaining stops, and any unforeseen events that may affect the route. This means the actual arrival time may differ from the initial estimate.

To keep you informed, we'll send a second notification with an updated ETA approximately 60 minutes before the driver is scheduled to arrive. This notification will also include a tracking link so you can monitor the driver's progress in real time.
