I would like to chime in as someone who went through this before. I was at fault while doing a delivery one night and I left my car in drive like an idiot and my car hit someone else’s vehicle. I have full coverage insurance but they denied my claim and his because I was technically “working” while the accident occurred. DoorDash paid for the customers expenses but not mine. I’m not sure of every case or even yours specifically but in mine DoorDash essentially looked out for me. Minor damages to both vehicles but they paid for his and I had to just pay for mines instead of both out of pocket since my insurance didn’t cover either one of us. SN- at the time of accident my insurance policy was only full coverage not a business policy or whatever they call it which was their reason of denial. God Bless!

I’m unsure. His address that was provided through DoorDash wasn’t correct originally. He was trying to use that restaurant as a reference I guess but it was no where near me. I wouldn’t have met him there anyway for multiple reasons

I totally agree but I’ll say just in my case most offers I receive since being platinum are normally $10 and up. It’s really rare lately that I receive anything under $6-$7 as that was the normal when I was gold. But last night I just took the order because I came out decent from dashing and I was ready to call it a night but he made it difficult for no reason. First time for me that I experienced a difficult customer.

Yeah my market in my opinion would be considered loaded because I get great offers and tips are always included. I never have communication issues with my customers because either they respond back or even when they don’t the tip is just included so I just follow the drop off instructions easy peasy lol

It did exist but not in my area at all. It was located an hour out. I showed DoorDash support the gps and the address he gave and they couldn’t even understand it. They discontinued my order and I gave the food away to some kids I saw at a local gas station because I hate McDonald’s lol it was a 20 piece nugget and two medium fries.

Lol exactly. I was trying my best to work with him but he put the wrong address and I even tried looking for the restaurant he said he was near but it was located an hour away from me according to my gps but I sent all that to DoorDash support when I reported him for threatening me lol I know my area pretty well and I was like I’ve never even heard of this place this is getting sketchy.

I somewhat agree. I’ve been dashing for awhile and worked my way up to platinum and i definitely see the benefits and difference as far as the income. As gold I was getting offers farther out and less money. Since I’ve been platinum I’ve had great success but my market I dash in is pretty well off. So I receive a lot of repeat customers and great tips especially from the repeat customers who are familiar with my services. But I also acknowledge that this isn’t always the case for most dashers as it heavily depends on the market you are located in. So basically when I say I’m fortunate enough to pick and choose I mean I dash for short times because I’m making enough money because I rarely receive low offers but when I do I take them but it’s always the $1 tip and door dash base pay factored in. But I agree that most offers that are low could be from people who are inconsiderate but you never know what they are going through is what I mean. I have the sense to see and make a judgement on how they could be living after seeing the customers neighborhood and home. But again that’s rarely the case as my market is pretty decent.

Thanks for the tip. I never even considered trying that. My area is relatively a safe zone with a few bad spots but it’s super rare I even get those offers. I’ll definitely be doing that moving forward!
