At HELB, safety and security are our top priorities. We've implemented multiple layers of protection to ensure a safe experience for both shoppers and travelers.
Secure Escrow System
- Payments are held securely until delivery confirmation, protecting shoppers from fraud
- Requests have already been paid for by the requester, so the travelers are protected
- Refunds are processed quickly in case of issues
Communication Safety
- In-app messaging system (no need to share personal contact info)
- Dispute resolution process
- 24/7 support team
- Clear terms of service
Reporting and Moderation
- Reviews all reported accounts within 24 hours
- Takes immediate action on verified violations
- Maintains a blacklist of banned users
- Continuously improves our safety measures
Good Practices for Users ✨
As community members, here are a few things you can do to help protect yourself and others:
As a traveler, you can:
- Verify the requester's identity and payment history
- Take photos of the item and the packaging to confirm the item is as described
- Keep records of the delivery and photo of receipt
- Deliver the item to the agreed location and time
As a shopper, you can:
- Make a reasonable request offer price and delivery time (~2 weeks from request date, >+10% of the item price)
- Include as much information as possible in your request
- Chat with the traveler in our platform to discuss the details of the delivery
- Confirm receipt of the item before releasing the payment
If you encounter any issues, please report them immediately to our support team in our platform, or email us at helbapp.sg@gmail.com
Your safety is our commitment. We're constantly improving our systems to provide the safest possible experience.
