How Do BEAM's Pickup/Delivery Time Slots Work?

Understanding BEAM's pickup and delivery time slots in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia — how scheduling works, what to expect on the day, live driver tracking, and options for requesting a specific arrival time.

We know your time is valuable, so we've designed our scheduling system to give you a reliable pickup window while keeping our service flexible and affordable.

Time Slots Are Estimates — But We Take Them Seriously

Your scheduled time slot is our commitment to arrive within that window. 95-98% of our jobs arrive on time. Occasionally, factors beyond our control — such as weather, heavy traffic, or delays at a previous job — may cause a slight delay. If that happens, we'll keep you informed.

Slot Availability

The slots you see when booking in the app or on the website reflect real-time availability. Slots that do not appear are fully booked.

If you urgently need a pickup or delivery outside the available slots, please contact us — we may be able to squeeze you in for an additional fee, subject to operational feasibility.

Singapore Time Slots

In Singapore, we operate with 2-hour time slots throughout each operating day, starting from 8:00 AM. This means you'll always have a tight, predictable window for your pickup.

Live Driver Tracking: Once your driver is on the way, you'll receive a notification with a live map link showing their real-time location — so you'll know exactly when to expect them.

Kuala Lumpur Time Slots

In Kuala Lumpur, due to the unpredictability of traffic conditions, we use two broader time slots per operating day:

  • 8:00 AM - 1:00 PM

  • 1:00 PM - 6:00 PM

Need a More Specific Time in KL?

We understand that sometimes you need a tighter window, especially for larger jobs and moves. Here's how we handle that:

  • Preferred timing (no extra charge): Let us know your preferred time within your slot and we'll do our best to accommodate it — at no additional fee. We're happy to work with you on this, especially for larger bookings.

  • Guaranteed specific timing (additional charge): If arriving at an exact time is absolutely essential, we can arrange that for a small additional fee. This is because locking in a precise arrival time requires us to adjust our entire schedule — both before and after your job — to guarantee punctuality down to the minute. Contact us for details and pricing.

Tips for a Smooth Pickup

  • Be ready 15 minutes before your time slot so we can get started right away and keep everything on schedule.

  • Let us know about any access requirements (loading docks, security clearance, elevator bookings) when you book — this helps us plan accurately and arrive prepared.
