Americans working longer hours resort to errand runners

Survey shows the average American is working longer but continues to spend close to nine hours a day on personal care activities. 

Summer is in full swing and people in Southern California are scrambling trying to fit in work with a little fun in the sun.  We all have heard that saying, “needing a vacation from your vacation.” Well stress no more, help is available. Zoom Errands is that extra set of hands, your personal concierge whose role is to add valuable time to your life. Don’t sweat the small stuff, it’s not a cliché instead of sitting at work stressing because you need to pick up the charcoal or propane for  the grill, and all the fixings or the beach towels and sunscreen and beach bags etc., make a list, call up Zoom Errands and have all the errands done before you get home.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, June 2013, in addition to working eight hours a day the average American spends nine hours a day on personal care activities. These statistics were not seasonally adjusted which means throw in summer or a holiday and our after work roles take up more time.

Zoom Errands services not only the business professional but senior citizens, realtors, homemakers, travelers, entertainers, medical professionals and anyone and everyone who needs an errand run. If you are throwing a party the trusted, background screened and reliable staff at Zoom Errands can take care of the dog walking, picking up the cake, wrapping the gifts, moving furniture, decorating, you name it they will be your extra set of hands.

If you want help preparing for a special date or occasion, the folks at Zoom Errands can make the reservations, set up travel arrangements, and order a gift. They can prepare everything right down to the type of flower you would like at a table for two.

The company’s goal is to help people with their busy lives. So if you are a parent who works at home with the kids or you have a corner office in a high rise, everyone can use a helping hand from time to time. 

Ordering an errand runner is easy. Once you create an account, you can order a package of hours for multiple errands every month or you can use their services for a single one-time use. You can also roll over your unused hours when you purchase a package to the following month.

The company has also expanded their services to Orange County. You can order errands either online at www.zoomerrands.com or by calling in the LA area: (310) 425-6425 or in the OC: (949) 427-1217.
