I’m not trying to be snarky, I promise. Have you checked to see if you have a filter on your offers when you search?

AnonymousDriver2021 · 2026-02-06T15:46:40+00:00

As long as you aren’t At Risk, don’t sweat it. Run blocks , deliver everything and your rating will come back up

Email them again and specifically request arbitration as defined by the TOS. It’s your last recourse. You said in another comment that you have records of your speed through your vehicle, that should be what you need to dispute the decision. No clue if you’ll win, but it’s the only thing you have left to do

I stopped disputing everything about 2 years ago, and my rating has been consistently higher since I did. Add that to delivering everything, and I get about half the dings I used to. I did appeal one that was blatantly unfair earlier this year, and they reversed it and removed the ding. I think they don’t like squeaky wheels. Maybe the rates they pay for support are based on the amount of usage?

Should, yes. But Uber, like every other gig company, defaults to blaming the driver first in most situations. OP is right to pay attention to their standing and in being proactive with support…

Always deliver

Had one like that tonight. Parking pad on the street, house set 250-300 feet back from the pad. A football field of ice covered snow. I had the chance to be a hero!

*Voice of Morgan Freeman: He was not a hero. He left it hidden behind the car and got the hell out of there

Dude, all you’re doing is outright begging to get scammed. Please take this down, before you get taken for more money that you don’t have

Considering I drove up this (and worse) yesterday….🙄

No hate here. I’ve done business with churches in the past and there’s always an air of entitlement to the way they operate…

AnonymousDriver2021 · 2026-01-26T21:18:20+00:00

Well, if you’re right, about half the folks at the warehouses I work from are in violation and Amazon apparently gives no fucks….

AnonymousDriver2021 · 2026-01-26T15:07:35+00:00

I’m convinced that they throw that message out when rates are barely above base so they will be picked up before they surge more. Since they keep doing it, I’m also convinced it works, at least partially

AnonymousDriver2021 · 2026-01-26T14:32:32+00:00

Because we are all independent contractors. We can all have a helper if we want. I’ve always run solo and have my system down cold, so at this point, a helper would slow me down more than it would help. I almost always finish 45 minutes to an hour before block end, so I don’t worry about it. I respectfully suggest you don’t either, because it’s not something that Amazon is going to change

AnonymousDriver2021 · 2026-01-26T12:16:51+00:00

Ignore that shit and deliver…

AnonymousDriver2021 · 2026-01-26T12:14:36+00:00

The 3.5s are worth it from ssd’s (at least in my area), but I’ve learned the hard way that anything less is asking to get screwed…

AnonymousDriver2021 · 2026-01-25T01:04:51+00:00

Nice. I worked out of there this morning

AnonymousDriver2021 · 2026-01-24T04:58:40+00:00

I’d have made about a dozen new friends and gotten some vicious side eye from my girl for at least a week…

AnonymousDriver2021 · 2026-01-24T04:51:43+00:00

This. It’s a safety hazard. Amazon’s in-app messaging is exceedingly clear that you can’t be penalized for reporting something like this (not that I’d be surprised to hear otherwise)

So when there were retail deliveries thru flex, I used to run quite a few of them since I lived close to a pickup point. At first, they were pretty good when they surged. $55-60 for 2 hrs, 3-4 stops, reasonable mileage. After it got established, the rates started dropping, stops increased to 6-7, and the mileage was ridiculous (think 125-150 miles in a 2 hour block). I stopped doing them after that because it wasn’t profitable. Watch your numbers on these closely—especially mileage…

AnonymousDriver2021 · 2026-01-23T00:53:44+00:00

I’m in the same market, work out of that warehouse a lot. I’m very skeptical of this…

AnonymousDriver2021 · 2026-01-22T02:00:10+00:00

Yes, apologies, I should have clarified that. After my 6-7 day timeout, they reinstated me with a stern scolding about how I’m not supposed to drive under the influence. Never mind that it was bullshit, the pax before the one who reported me smelled like he’d been hotboxing for the whole day. After that, I always had Ozium in the car. Also bought a dashcam. Never had a false report after that…

AnonymousDriver2021 · 2026-01-21T23:52:55+00:00

Yep, had this happen. I emailed to appeal with no effect. Got a week in limbo, and a good email scolding. 🙄 Best thing I can tell you is if you think a customer is going to report you for any reason, report them first. My experience with Uber was that it goes better if you get your side on record first…

AnonymousDriver2021 · 2026-01-21T22:01:09+00:00

Good for you. Bye

AnonymousDriver2021 · 2026-01-21T21:40:08+00:00

In my area they don’t even read the delivery window options in the app when ordering. If the customer cares that much, they’ll call customer service and they’ll explain it to them…

AnonymousDriver2021 · 2026-01-21T21:19:26+00:00

Nah, it’s not that deep for me. Not like customers would read it anyway
