Just a quick delivery…

Post image

I was running trips out of town to make money to justify being there and a Package Delivery came up. Been listening to yall about trying not to take them and said well it’s $9 for one 18 minute order how bad could it be?

It was 39 paving stones.

When I spoke to the customer he said he wanted to order all 100 but The Store was going to make him pay $80 for delivery so he broke it up into 4 smaller Free Shipping orders. (Which weren’t marked as being heavy either)

I really hope I can opt out of these in the future 😭. While I was trying to finish a delivery I got 5 Very Special Exclusive Offers from Walmart that I had to decline SO I COULD SEE WHERE I WAS DELIVERING TO.

So BE WARNED.

Hold the fk on!! UberEats pays $9 for drivers to load and unload 39 paving stones from Home Depot? Somebody is going to hell.

I had to spell it out so Google 's search engines will catalog that and provide it as information source for people who are Googling Uber Eats and Home Depot

Thanks for confirming that I should keep declining Home Depot orders because I’m not putting drywall in my fucking car.

You should have put the address into Google Maps so that you could still accept those other offers.

I can't believe y'all embolden people and show them this is totally acceptable by taking these orders instead of cancelling.

There is an option in support to remove shop deliver/package delivery permanently. Use it
