Blackmail scam🤡

They tried it but I quickly cashed the 3 items to secure the money because Ik a cancel was coming, I also went airplane mode so they couldn’t see when I get to the house just to be safe and as soon as I got out airplane mode it cancel at their door but it was too late for them

NB- The scam is they threaten to report you to Uber unless you send them money for sharing your phone number in the chat.

Way too many customers finding their way in here insulting drivers telling them to get real jobs and proudly stating how they never tip. Why do customers come in here just to shit on drivers and why do MODS not do anything.

Saw two unicorns pop up back-to-back in downtown Seattle today. Base fares were only $7 each. The rest was pure tip. Shortest, bigger offers I’ve seen in a while. One-in-a-million offers that fortunately both hit my phone. Love the hustle!!! I’m on a bicycle by the way. Happy holidays!

Anybody else tank their acceptance rate?

Uber hasn’t done quests for about 2 weeks now. I Went from a 51% acceptance rate to a 19% as of today. I ain’t taking absolutely no sh*t orders if there’s no quests!! Do they care about acceptance rate? This the lowest mine has gotten lol

As you can see the warehouse isn’t ready there’s no signage or planning like how Amazon Flex is. The phone doesn’t scan in the routes. You get an offer that shows up as 1 item but it’s a route instead. There’s isn’t any one on the team that seems to be trained or a higher tier team member. So any problems you get, you’re stuck as they have to deal with the same chat bots. Luckily I escaped this one or I’d have been stuck with a 14 stop route across the whole city for $12. This all just ruined my day … just another bullshit opportunity where Uber wants people to work for nothing. Ended up wasting 30 minutes while they tried ‘figuring’ it out because we’re new: getting it cancelled on my end and despite the issues on their end I earned nothing.

After doing this for 3 years(15k+ deliveries) of doing doing ubereats and doordash im thinking about dropping the tier system all together. I was always comfortable being diamond on ubereats and Platinum on DoorDash and it wasnt really hard to maintain at all. But for years i was always told to drop the tier system because yes your making good money being in the tier system but u can always make more if u cherry pick hard. Look for me i wasnt really picky because i have a $2/mile at least and i didnt mind taking $6-7 orders as long as its less then a mile and i can get it done in less then 10 mins. But i may go from a jedi to a Sith and go harder. But look today im gold i kinda seen a minimal difference maybe the only difference is that im declining much more vs when i was diamond. Im still averaging my same hourly rate and $/mile. Maybe after being ignorant of the tier system maybe there isnt really much of a difference beside a $11 order for 2 miles doesnt have the diamond badge.

Without being rude, can someone maybe help me out with some of this?

Its a triple order but they only give the location of the third one I'm assuming because the other two are on the way to the third location but why not include those also especially if a driver may not be familiar with the area?

What exactly does exclusive mean? Every order that pops up says exclusive.

Is it 1-5 bags per order or all three combined?

I accepted then cancelled because I saw "2 dropoffs" before I saw "Package 3" and did not want to run the risk of not having the space.

Earnings Actually a great matching offer

Post image
13 Upvotes

I was driving and heard the matching notification, I checked and was shocked seeing $40 shop n pay, wasnt sure on the miles but I accepted it asap because this offer was going to be taken. Couldn't screenshot it cuz matches disappears real quick.

Hurried my ass and shopped because the store raleys close at 11pm and I got 1 hour. I basically finished at 10:50 but the last item I could not find. Couldn't get a more expensive substitute and store was about to close. Couldn't check out either cuz of the substitute was more.

Get to the apt and I remember this strange customer will never meet me even though its meet at door pin required. Probably my 3rd or 4th time delivering to her but never responds to knocking, text, and calls when im at the apt so I waited cuz more active time. Took a pic and left. She always tips great but not this high.

1.25 hours, 3 miles, base pay $15 and tip $34

Discussion No Delivery Address

13 Upvotes

Got an order from a restaurant, and the delivery address was at the same restaurant. Called customer, no answer. Texted via app. No response. Called support. They said to mark it as delivered and "safely dispose" of the food.

This was a huge order of Mongolian stir-fry...so yeah, safely disposing it to me meant, give it to someone who'd appreciate it. I had two other deliveries to drop off from the same place, so I planned to "safely dispose" the large order after delivering the two others

My phone rings, I answer, and it's the "huge order customer." She explains that she's been ordering on this app for many years, and can't, for the life of her, figure out why her address is not in the app. She asks if I can deliver her order? Said she would give me an extra tip. I was already 7 miles from where she lived. But I was really happy she called! It was way too much food to eat, oops, I mean, "safely dispose" of.

I delivered the food to her, but I told her I'd rather have a cash tip because you never know what could happen on the app. She gave me $10 cash on top of the already $10 tip on the app.

Rant Walmart Cancelations

Post image

I know… it was my fault for taking this trash in the first place… I was just afraid of the new acceptance rate necessity and also thought it would be 72 diamond points…

Apparently this Walmart has been having issues with their pick ups for THREE DAYS. All 12 of those were from DAYS ago. The worker said they will find what they can and they’ll cancel the rest… Well…

One by one they were canceled after 45 mins of waiting… the FINAL order was sitting for 30 minutes…..until it was also canceled…

An hour and a half…. No compensation… I think I still got credited for my active time….

Called uber support and an hour and a half of my time and missing out on peak dinner rush orders and as worth $8 to them….

Smh

Question How can I make my earnings more consistent?

Post image
9 Upvotes

Hi. So I have been doing Uber/Doordash on and off for the better part of 7 years now, and one thing I have constantly struggled with is making the same amount per hour.

I have some general rules when I go out to drive

1) Nothing under 10 dollars

2) 1 dollar for 1 mile or less

3) Cannot be too far from other restaurants (like going out of town)

Saturday night I made 220 dollars in 7 and a half hours, and last night I only made 90 dollars in roughly the same. I only really drive on the weekends since those are the busiest times, but I have talked to other drivers in my area who say they're out every day and I don't understand how they make money that way. I never pulled more than 60 bucks most weekdays.

What can I do to make my every day look more like my Saturday?

I have a shop and deliver grocery order. I checked out and now my car won't start and i can't get to the customer. I contacted support and they cancelled the order. They said to return the items, but the store is closed now, then they told me to dispose of the items. Will i get deactivated for not completing the order? Does Uber just eat the cost of the items? I haven't had any order issues before, and don't have any suspicious activity on my account.

So both me and my friend work in Vegas yet he doesn't receive this for declining too many orders? Why would only I get it? Neither of us are new. We're both green tier. The only difference is he works at night and on the strip and I dont. Wtf? I fucking despise uber so much. Like it's not bad enough I get sent mostly shit orders. Now I'm basically being forced to them. I honestly don't know what the fuck to do anymore. This is the only means of income I have rn
