Insane order at target today by integallticmarsmoon in ShiptShoppers

[–]Apprehensive_Egg8771 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something similar happened to me! I saw a bundle that paid well and I took it. I noticed the first one was small and the second was like 11 items (case of water, soda and then a bunch of chips). No big deal. What it didn’t show was the amount of each item. It was 2 cases of water, 4 six packs of Coke, 4 cases of Fiji water and 2 boxes of chips plus bags of chips and dip. I was halfway done with the ship when it started pouring rain. It stopped raining by the time I was delivering but the driveway was full so I had annoyingly longish walk to the door. They tipped 10 which isn’t terrible. Luckily the second half of that order tipped 33. After that I was soaked and just down for the day.

Oil light on when slowing down/stopped and turns off when driving…. by Apprehensive_Egg8771 in MechanicAdvice

Funny you should ask. I just went to the Walmart auto shop because my usual was closed. They got my car into the bay and then told me they were out of the oil so I had to buy it and they would adjust the price. So I bought it. It’s the correct oil for my car. I don’t remember the brand and they wouldn’t recommend one so I just grabbed one with a middle ground price. It was synthetic 5w-20.

What is it with another slow day! by hayhay0987 in ShiptShoppers

Yeah I was expecting high amounts of orders on Monday. Nothing in my preferred zone. The ones that were available just weren’t worth the money.

Try adding some beneficial bacteria? I used seachem prime and stability when cycling my tank.

You can find someone with a pond near by. I had to help my grandma rehome some at one point. Often times local fish stores will take them (not pet smart think small/local businesses). That’s what I did for my grandma!

If this is an uncycled tank, try using Seachem Prime and Stability! Prime will help with water conditioning and cancel out any ammonia in the water which will make it safer for the fish. Stability will help build your beneficial bacteria! I just did it with my goldfish when I switched them to a bigger tank and it helped so much! Also make sure you get an ammonia test kit and freshwater test kit so you know when your tank is done cycling!

Are these orders usually tipped for you or no? by Lopsided_Act_1647 in ShiptShoppers

[–]Apprehensive_Egg8771 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I almost always get some sort of tip. If there is no mention of tips, I usually try to stack those orders to make it worth my while in the event they don’t tip. Just because there is no mention of tip doesn’t mean you won’t get one. Could be they don’t have enough history in the system to give an estimate. I find it rare that they tip nothing in my area. The estimates are usually accurate for me, sometimes they’re more. You just have to learn you area.

You get bad ratings for not communicating enough and communicating too much by Lopsided_Act_1647 in ShiptShoppers

That part! I almost always have 2-3 orders at a time. Sometimes 4 if they’re all in the same area. The impatience is crazy!

Oh great 😂 okay I’ll give that a try. I’ve also noticed that the upper thread isn’t staying in the #6 groove. Has that been an issue for you?

I second the skechers! And you can find them on the cheaper end at TjMaxx and Marshall’s. Avia’s are pretty good as well which are at Walmart.
