En México usamos las dos formas mencionadas aquí, por ejemplo:
Lo recogí del trabajo.
Y en una conversación más informal podrías decir:
Mom; ¿A que hora pasan por ti para ir a la fiesta?
Daughter: Van a pasar a las 8.
Saludos.

When I first read your question without the examples, I thought you were talking about picking someone up, like at a bar. In that case I have heard "ligar con" used, at least in Spain.
ligar con = to pick up, flirt with; make out with
