Michael was locked out of his house in Tacoma. His spare keys were at his mom’s place in Auburn. It was 4:30 PM on a Tuesday.
Michael called a locksmith—$275 to drill out the lock and rekey it. He tried DoorDash and Uber—neither service handles key delivery. He asked his mom to drive down, but she doesn’t drive on highways.
Then Michael found Tymli Errands.
We picked up his keys in Auburn at 5:00 PM and delivered them to his front door in Tacoma by 5:45 PM. Total cost: $75. Lockout solved.
This is why we exist: to handle the small, urgent jobs no one else wants to touch.
Why Emergency Deliveries Are Hard to Book
When you need something delivered urgently—keys, documents, a forgotten laptop, prescription medication—most delivery services won’t help.
Here’s why:
Traditional Couriers Don’t Do Same-Day Local UPS, FedEx, and USPS require advance booking and can’t guarantee same-day delivery for local trips.
Food Delivery Apps Don’t Handle Personal Items DoorDash and Uber Eats are built for restaurant food—not keys, documents, or parcels.
Big Delivery Companies Have Minimums Courier services charge $150-$300 minimums for urgent deliveries—even if you just need keys driven 20 miles.
The result? When you’re locked out, forgotten something critical, or need an urgent item delivered, you’re stuck with few options.
The Auburn to Tacoma Emergency Key Delivery
Here’s how Michael’s emergency delivery went:
4:45 PM – Michael Books the Delivery Michael called us from his locked front porch. He explained:
- Situation: Locked out, spare keys at mom’s house in Auburn
- Pickup location: Auburn (near Green River College)
- Delivery location: Tacoma (near Stadium District)
- Urgency: “As soon as possible—I have groceries in my car that need refrigeration”
We quoted him $75 flat and confirmed we could be in Auburn by 5:00 PM.
5:00 PM – Pickup in Auburn We met Michael’s mom at her house in Auburn. She handed us his spare house keys (two keys on a small keyring). We confirmed the delivery address in Tacoma and headed south.
5:25 PM – On the Road to Tacoma Auburn to Tacoma via 167 and I-5 is about 20 minutes in light traffic. We hit minimal delays and made good time.
5:45 PM – Delivery in Tacoma We arrived at Michael’s house in Tacoma and handed him his keys on his front porch. He unlocked his door, brought his groceries inside, and the crisis was solved.
Total delivery time: 45 minutes.
Michael’s reaction: “You literally saved my day. The locksmith wanted $275 and said it’d be two hours before he could get here.”
