Leaving now
You’re rolling and the wait is short.
On my way — should be there in about 10 minutes.
On my way, I’m here, or running early
A short on my way text so they unlock the door, leash the dog, or look for you outside. Use I’m here when you’re already on the property.
Put in the real ETA and where you’ll wait.
When to use this
- You’re leaving now, en route, or already at the address.
- Not for being late (use Running late) or for cancelling.
- Say where you’ll wait if the building is confusing.
- One ping is enough; don’t spam ETAs every few minutes.
- Also on this page: running early.
I’m here
You’re on the property and they may not have seen you.
I’m here. I’ll wait by the side door unless you’d rather I use the front.
Parked
So they can find the right car or tell you to move.
Just pulled up. I’m in the driveway. Text me if I should park somewhere else.
ETA update while rolling
Traffic changed; give a new number.
Still on my way — GPS now says about 8 minutes. See you shortly.
Need the gate or buzzer
You’re close but stuck outside.
I’m at the gate / front buzzer. Can you let me in when you get a sec?
Running early
You’re ahead of the clock. They may not be dressed, home, or ready — ask before you knock.
Wait or start
You’re close. The booked time hasn’t hit yet.
I’m about 20 minutes early. I can wait in the driveway, or I can start if you’re ready. No rush.
Last stop ran short
You could arrive before they expected you.
Hi Jordan — I got through the last stop faster than I thought. I could be there at 1:40 instead of 2:00. Say if that’s too soon.
I’ll sit tight
Default: you wait. They don’t have to scramble.
Running ahead of schedule. I’ll sit tight until our time unless you want me in now.
They said come early if you can
Use permission you already have.
I’m ahead of schedule and can be there in 10 if that still works. Text if you’d rather I stick to 2:00.
How to send it
Copy one message, swap in the real name and time, and send from your own phone or email. Keep it to a few sentences. If they need a different topic, use a Related link below instead of mixing two subjects in one text.
Keep it usable
One idea per text. Put the action in the first sentence (the time, the yes/no, or the amount). Names like Alex and Jordan are stand-ins — swap them. If the situation changed, pick a different page from Related instead of editing this one into a mash-up.
