The price depends on the areas, number of deliveries, time window, and cargo type and volume. We quote blocks, individual routes and even a single delivery. Your price is confirmed before you book, with no surprise charges. In 30 seconds - A 3.5-hour block includes a van and driver, with a personalized quote. - Cost per delivery = quoted block price ÷ completed deliveries. - Compare it with what delivering yourself, apps or your own driver cost today. ## What does the price of a 3.5-hour block include? The block includes an enclosed van, driver, fuel and stops completed within 3.5 hours in the covered areas. You also receive WhatsApp coordination and a photo of every delivery. The price is confirmed before you book. Extra time and destinations outside our four areas are quoted separately, subject to availability. - Enclosed Chevrolet Tornado Van (3.0 m³ of cargo space and up to 550 kg; cargo area 2.0 × 1.30 × 1.15 m) - A dedicated driver for the whole block - Fuel and routing within our four areas - A message when we leave, plus a photo and recipient's name at every stop - Guarantee: if we're late to the start of the block, that time is free ## The 4 ways to deliver and what they really cost A business can deliver with its own team, hire a driver, use apps or book a dedicated block. Compare both the direct payment and the time each option requires. Include vehicle costs and the work of coordinating orders. The table helps you identify those costs separately. | Option | What you pay | The hidden cost | When it makes sense | |---|---|---|---| | Delivering yourself | Fuel, parking, wear on your car | The hours you don't spend selling or serving customers | Very few deliveries and plenty of free time | | Hiring a driver and vehicle | Salary, benefits, insurance, maintenance | You pay even on days with no deliveries | High daily volume, all year round | | App per delivery | Each trip separately | Failed deliveries, no control or proof | One-off, urgent packages | | SIVA dedicated block | Personalized quote | You need to book in advance | Several deliveries on the same day, no fixed payroll | ## How much does delivering yourself cost? Delivering yourself uses time you could spend selling or preparing orders. Multiply your weekly delivery hours by the value of your working hour. Then add fuel and parking. For illustration, four hours valued at $300 MXN each represent $1,200 MXN before those extra expenses. | Hours delivering per week (example) | 4 h | |---|---| | Value of your hour (example) | $300 MXN | | Cost of your time per week | 4 × $300 = $1,200 MXN | | Cost of your time per year | $1,200 × 52 = $62,400 MXN + fuel and parking | ## How do you calculate the cost per delivery of a block? Divide the quoted block price by the number of completed deliveries. Use your actual route rather than a published estimate. Stops in one area usually leave more time for deliveries than stops across several areas. Confirm the planned addresses, access requirements and any extra time before comparing the result with another service. [Run your own numbers in the cost-per-delivery calculator](https://sivalogistics.com.mx/en/services#calculator). **Formula:** cost per delivery = quoted block price ÷ number of deliveries. Compare quotes for the same addresses, cargo, time window and delivery confirmation. ## What makes the price go up or down? The quote depends on the areas, delivery count, time window, and cargo type and volume. Combining areas uses part of the block for travel between them. Reception desks and guard booths also affect the route. SIVA Logistics confirms the price before booking and quotes extra time separately. - **Areas:** combining neighboring areas (Lomas and Polanco, Santa Fe and Interlomas) fits more stops. - **Stops:** more stops in the same area lower the cost per delivery. - **Waiting:** reception desks and guard booths with long sign-ins use up block time. - **Timing:** morning or afternoon; deliveries at an exact time require a dedicated block. - **Extra time:** if your route needs more than 3.5 hours, the additional hour is charged separately. ### What should you ask before accepting a quote? - Does the quote cover every pickup and delivery address? - What delivery window and cargo type and volume are included? - How are waiting, extra time and repeat attempts handled? - Are destinations outside the four areas available and quoted separately? - Are delivery photos included, and is cargo insurance optional? - Is the final price confirmed before booking, with no surprise charges? For personal errands, [SIVA Personal](https://sivalogistics.com.mx/en/siva-personal) provides a van and driver by the hour, from 1 hour.
