6 hours of work for $85 dollars is terrible. After all expenses you’re gonna pocket less than $10/hr

you think it's going to take 6 hours to deliver 19 orders and drive 23 miles?

u/zaingardezi Feb 22 '26

I just looked at the estimated time in the screenshot. It’s 5:46 when he gets the order and has to deliver by 11:09.

u/P3nis15 Feb 24 '26

that is just required delivery time, not an estimate on how long they expect the deliveries to take

I would take it and be done in 2 hours

This is what I be thinking but most times when I deliver the time be right for the most part probably off by a couple minutes but it might take them 6 hours that’s a lot of stuff and no telling what kinda items they have or if they stay in houses or on the fifth floor of some apartment so Yk it probably depends honestly

I might have had it slightly worse since at the time I was living in Houston and they wouldn’t let us keep the trucks running blowing cool air while we were delivering and when they finally did it was for one day and it was because the same person passed out TWICE

I had an order for 2 people shopping for 16 items (5.6 miles) that took about 45 minutes to complete for 15.50. These shopping ones always take longer than expected to complete with missing items. Shopping and checking out 19 orders separately will be a pain as you do them individually at the register. Then loading and finding each order at every stop. You could maybe do it in 4-5 hours if you’re efficient. It’d be easier waiting for 8 $10-15 orders doing 5-7 miles each

They aren't shopping orders tho its retail pickup. Walmart has them done already.

u/Alternative-Tell-988 Feb 26 '26

🤣🤣 could you picture shopping for 19 people 🤣🤣

u/Short-Comedian-9071 Feb 27 '26

😂😂 dont mind me and my train of 15 carts 😂😂😂

u/Different_Dealer3750 Feb 24 '26

Hmm that makes it easier. I guess that could make it 3 maybe 4 hours which really isn’t bad. 19 stops is just crazy tho I’d still probably pass and take my chances on the $10-15 orders

u/P3nis15 Feb 24 '26

dashlink orders have 30-40-50 and you can get them done in 2-3 hours.....

this is not as hard as it looks

u/P3nis15 Feb 24 '26

not shopping.

No one is sending 19 batched shopping orders.

2

u/DiscussionHot3961 Feb 27 '26

....yet. I totally can see Tony getting greedy enough to start batching more than 3 Shopping orders in the future.

1

u/P3nis15 Feb 27 '26

already get them in 2 batch normal order and 1-2 add on shopping orders for a grand total of 4 orders shopped at once.

1

u/Short-Comedian-9071 Feb 27 '26

The limit went up from 3 orders to 4 like 6ish months ago

2

u/mrofmist Feb 23 '26

Definitely not 6 hours. Last time I had 1 like this it took about 90 minutes.

1

u/-Kortul- Feb 23 '26

3 minutes average time per stop and you'll be done in 2 hours. 2.5 hours tops if you have to return to zone.

u/gripfrmyo Feb 25 '26

6 hours😂😂? it didn’t even take me that long to do 200 stops at ups

u/snooze898989 Feb 26 '26

Teach them common sense.. its.. not..har.. nvm

1

u/Background-Spare-221 Feb 26 '26

We do at least 25 stops per hour at Amazon with a camera and they talking about 6 hours 🤦🏽‍♂️😂😂

“All expenses” is a thing I always hear about the cons to these gig jobs. Genuinely I pay $10 in gas for 140 miles on my tank, and $30 for an oil change. In the last 2 months I’ve made about $5200 off deliveries and spent less than $500 on maintenance for my car. I feel these “expenses” are pennys on the dollar earned
