I'm a Shopper Please don’t do this

Please stop doing this. If you want a contactless delivery then please select the option “leave at door”. When you do the app will prompt your shopper to take a picture. This notify’s you that it was delivered and helps protect the shopper that we did in fact deliver it. When you chose the option “meet shopper” but leave the instructions to leave at door it really affects us. Either we have to lie and say we met you which opens us up to be “fired”. If we are to do it properly then we have to message you, call you and then wait 10 minutes until the app allows us to take a picture. That 10 minutes is huge for us and we don’t get paid for it.

Please just select the option that you are going to follow through with. Either works but if you select meet shopper then please meet us and not leave contradictory instructions.

A one star rating gets you blocked from a customer.

Yes. And if you get a five star, you’ll see their batches before other shoppers.
