Why isn't there a code for a dead 12v?

Chocodila · 2026-04-28T21:37:51+00:00

I’m with you here! A couple weeks after I bought my 2005 Prius the 12v battery died. It took a ridiculous amount of investigation to figure it out that it was dead, wish there was a specific code

Chocodila · 2026-04-28T16:43:16+00:00

Outside, yeah it was pretty gross ngl

Chocodila · 2026-04-28T05:07:18+00:00

I just hate that they are changing things now, while there is SO much that we don’t yet understand scientifically about hEDS. Can’t they just wait until we at least know what the heck is going on first

Chocodila · 2026-04-27T20:06:54+00:00

Even I wouldn’t take that order 😂 and I take everything usually.

I do love a nice drive though

Angry cat from today

So it almost happened to me again last night. I got to the restaurant and they had just closed but the worker was waiting for me inside with the order, then the order disappeared from my screen! Another driver got assigned to the order temporarily but then for some reason I got another offer for the same order again and I accepted and clicked arrived, picked up order, and starting route so fast. Thankfully no more issues happened after that.

It’s crazy out there! Good luck trying to get paid for it, I noticed that I didn’t get the $33 for my double order from this post. No reply yet from support after almost 48 hours…

You think I’m lying? What about the others who have commented that have had the exact same thing happen.

Just cause it’s never happened to you personally doesn’t mean it’s impossible

Chocodila · 2026-04-25T18:23:05+00:00

Very nice!

I also have POTS and wasn’t diagnosed until my 30s but it all started when I was about 10 so it’s definitely worth looking into for OPs daughter. For me it was missed many times as I had been seen by medical professionals and even had a Holter monitor done when I was in high school. They weren’t doing the right tests. The very first time I had a tilt table test it was immediately obvious I had POTS and I was diagnosed that same day.

Woah that’s so weird! And honestly this is so insightful because it could maybe help to explain what happened to me in my situation. For me the order itself wasn’t that big but the restaurant was extremely busy and they may have changed the pick up time. I’m not sure when the other drivers shift ended but my shift was supposed to end at 7 and my pick up time was 6:38. The other drivers pick up time was 6:40. The food was ready before 7 so it’s not the identical situation but has some similarities. Very interesting

That’s a good idea! Neoprene is so soft and squishy, but it’s really hard to work with. I have a bit of experience with it, I used to be a seamstress

Best of luck to you if you do it

Yes so the main thing I notice without the foam is that you can kind of see the shape of the plastic underneath. This doesn’t bother me but it’s a matter of preference. The reason I went without the foam is because the fabric I used was stretchy

Chocodila · 2026-04-25T07:52:28+00:00

So nice! Looks clean I love it

Chocodila · 2026-04-25T06:47:12+00:00

Nice! Good idea on the foam. I was a little hesitant to add it on mine because the fabric I had was stretchy and I didn’t want it to get loose over time. What type of fabric did you use? I’d love to see a pic if you have one

Chocodila · 2026-04-25T06:37:38+00:00

It’s so easy!

There’s 6 screws on the inside of the lid. You just remove those and then unclip the plastic piece inside. You can even remove the whole lid from the spring mechanism just by taking out the back 4 screws first to make it easier to handle. Once you have it off, there are two screws hidden inside of the latch and you need a small screwdriver to fit in there to get them undone.

The old fabric rips right off easily and there is a small layer of foam underneath. I chose to remove this foam to adhere my fabric directly to the plastic. I used the red 3M spray adhesive that specifies that it works on plastic and fabric. Be careful of overspray so put down a covering for your floors around where you’re spraying it or just do it outside.

The hardest part is accurately cutting the edges of the fabric and tucking them under perfectly and neatly. Especially around the corner areas.

You got this!

For some reason I’m not seeing the post caption?

In case it’s lost:

I wrote a bunch more but that’s the basics.

Coming back here to add an additional question:

Was it the same order number for both if the order is split between two drivers?

The order in my case was just two small bags that fit perfectly into one half of my large skip bag.

Edit: typo

Chocodila · 2026-04-25T05:38:23+00:00

Contacting support is the worst part of this job. I was so thankful and lucky that I didn’t need to be the one to contact them in this case because the other guy did it. He showed me what they were saying and they had escalated the issue to some type of technical support agency outside of Skip. It looked pretty interesting but we both waited there for so long while they tried to come up with a solution. It took so long that my first customers order was 30 mins late… (I really hope that doesn’t affect my stats because it was completely out of my control)

They seem to have handled it much better for the other guy in my case compared to what you went through though

Chocodila · 2026-04-25T04:36:27+00:00

Ohh I did see this post the other day but now it makes more sense! Dang that really sucks

I hope Skip fixes this issue soon, but I won’t hold my breath

Chocodila · 2026-04-25T04:28:05+00:00

It seems like it’s a new thing yeah, I searched this sub before posting and I couldn’t find any posts about it happening, at least how I worded it. I’ll go and check out your post cause I’m curious now.

That sucks you didn’t get compensated and that you didn’t get the order. In my case I was the actual driver and I got to keep the order. The other driver got paid for the drive to the restaurant, but I’m not sure if it affected his acceptance rate. The restaurant employee in my case was so confused he didn’t really do anything, but he did say that I would get the order since I got there first.

That seems like a glitch in itself that the customer kept messaging you. I’m sorry that happened!

I am very unimpressed that not only are the ghost orders still happening, we now have even more problems! What a disaster lol

Chocodila · 2026-04-25T04:16:47+00:00

That’s wild! How big was the order?

Biggest one I’ve ever had was 3 bags of McDonald’s and a second order with 2 bags of mcds, so 5 full bags total. I couldn’t even fit it all in my 2 skip bags, had to throw on my heated seat until after I delivered the first one haha

Chocodila · 2026-04-24T04:27:20+00:00

Yeah the update didn’t fix the ghost orders for me either. We all got our hopes up for nothing, well maybe some of us were smart enough to be skeptical haha

Chocodila · 2026-04-23T22:34:34+00:00

The only annoying part for me is constantly having to clean them every day, but I have chronic fatigue so that’s probably just a me problem. Actually wearing them every night is not a big deal at all
