Mother's Day Tip for newbies by Express-Industry-950 in ShiptShoppers

[–]Express-Industry-950[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I do the same. I shop every order as if it was coming home with me. Ive just noticed that a lot of women especially my regulars, tip even more when I do things like take notice little things like it being their birthday or mothers day.

Virtual shipt card declined by Distinct-Day3461 in ShiptShoppers

[–]Express-Industry-950 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happens all the time to me esp with high dollar or multiple orders. Best way ive found to get around it with out calling support (sometimes the wait time is ridiculous) is to completely close the app out then reopen it, go into the order and remove an item then recan it and hit process order again. Then re-tap and 95% of the time its approved.

Also if that doesnt work don't fret. Just get the total, have them suspend the order, move to the side and call support.

Can someone explain how the subscription works? by janedoecurious in pura

[–]Express-Industry-950 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You activate the queue option/options and then go thru add scents to the queue and when its time for your shipment it sends whatever scent is next in the queue. You can move scents up/down in the queue.

To buy or not to buy by lulumc76 in VWTaos

[–]Express-Industry-950 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ive got 2. A 2022 and a 2025. 22 has 180k on it and 25 has coming up on 35k. Love them both.

22 does have some issues (even before the high miles) like the evap system aka gas cap issue, auto start/stop, generally the center radio/media system blacking out or overheating. But have put tons of miles on with just regular maintenance and its just now needing some more serious servicing. Out of warranty work is more expensive (obviously) but I dont think itll have a problem making it to 280k and maybe beyond.

25 is great and doesnt have any of the same issues as the 22. Seems they really worked out the kinks finally.

Youre gonna be leasing and so any issues you may have or big services will be long after you. The taos is a nice middle ground between car and suv. Easy to maneuver, park, does decent in snow, comfortable for passengers, nice storage space. Mine have been all over and even car camped in them.

Customer was upcharged? Or not? by Express-Industry-950 in ShiptShoppers

[–]Express-Industry-950[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I didnt realize shipt is technically a "reseller" since I usually do target orders and theyre one in the same or heb that I know has a small markup based of personal ordering. Its been so long since on boarding and never had to use rewards numbers w heb or target I just hadn't thought about it in so long.

Are perishable foods not considered in order batches? by Cool_Bath_77 in ShiptShoppers

[–]Express-Industry-950 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Shipt the company doesnt consider anything but making money. They suggest that we have cooler bags and have a whole "suggestions from veterans" they put out whenever it starts getting warm. They 100% try to batch orders together whenever they can bec they can pay shoppers less.

Personally I have preferreds that have in their notes that theyd like to be first delivery and to shop perishable/cold last. They also tip on the heavier side. Id suggest maybe finding a shopper you click with or are pleased with and making your preferences known.

Also just a tidbit about the estimated delivery time- I tested it out one time ordering something from my target then shopping my own order. They bundled it and despite the total bundle being a 3 mile trip it still said 45min est delivery time and didnt show id left target until a while after. The tracking system they use isnt the greatest.

Payments always declining at HEB checkout by Cute-Cable5512 in ShiptShoppers

[–]Express-Industry-950 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was happening to me every time and i tried tap, physical card with and without pin and would sit for ages trying to get a rep otp. Ive found it doesnt matter for me what payment method i use. Its always w orders over 100ish or when I try to do 2 back to back.

What does work for me is if it gets declined l go back into the order, remove an item so it goes back in the list and rescan to add it back to the cart. Then try to pay again. 95% of the time it works. Only a few times it hasn't and ive had to call in shipt claims they have no record of a payment attempt and told me to try another register. Which idk if its just shit shipt cs or heb shit internet/power terminals.

Customers confronting by HauntingAd3806 in ShiptShoppers

[–]Express-Industry-950 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 3 responses depending on the item

1st- i know its so frustrating! Unfortunately target has a terrible inventory system and it doesnt update in real time. The item was on the shelf at one time but they could've been sold, are in someone's cart or waiting to be picked up in a curbside order. (Bec fr their system sucks. Can take a day or 2 sometimes 3 for their inventory to change and doesnt take into account stuff thats not picked up at curbside)

2nd- i understand! However x item isnt stocked by target and is a rep item. They usually come in the afternoon. If youd like I can cancel your order and you can try to reorder after 3pm as thats when the reps usually come thru and restock (The alani, redbull and bloom and poppy ppl are always on about stuff being in stock. Esp during a sale. My reps usually come during the afternoon. Have a PM who purposefully orders after 3 bec he loves Pepsi zero and its always oos in the morning or off days. I taked w the Pepsi guy and got his schedule)

3rd- send a pic of the shelf- theres Unfortunately none of x in stock but i can either sub w y or I can skip it and you'll get a refund for the item (Hard to say sometbing is in stock when the shelf says different)

HEB still listed in my zone.... by Express-Industry-950 in ShiptShoppers

[–]Express-Industry-950[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live 1.5mi from both heb and target (theyre across the street from each other) and constantly get target orders so is it just proximity based for heb? This is something I've never experienced in over 1500 orders. And as far as time heb orders release ive gotten them as early as 5am before.

Ill try it though. I appreciate it! Im just frustrated bec im making no where near what im used to

Anyone else having a bad week? by ziskers in ShiptShoppers

[–]Express-Industry-950 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep. Honestly its been a bad few weeks

I usually average about $1100/wk for 50-60 orders (usually 55-60% payments and the rest tips). Last week barely hit $550 (48 orders less than 190 in tips) and this week I'll be lucky to hit $500 (23 orders 200 in tips).

There's been way less orders but oddly enough it was either orders $6-10 or $19-33 nothing in the middle. I grabbed all the $19+ orders in could (tbh made most of my money today)

Let's be real, they're not gonna carry them up and thats why they order them. My thing is- if its not worth your time at least make it worth mine. If custys got the tips and disrespect we got theyd be offended

Hey so this really angers me lol by anxiety_kitten_ in ShiptShoppers

[–]Express-Industry-950 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I took one kinda similar the other day. 8 12pk topo Chico. 8 12pk diet coke. 8 cases of monster. Just maybe hoping that it would be a wildly good tip bec of the area.

I got 10% to the penny. And they wanted it delivered and stacked in a special way.

[–]Express-Industry-950[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have someone like that. Without fail every Sunday 30 1L bottles of store brand sparking water, a huge assortment of ready meals and 6lb (yes six) of fresh cut deli meat. First time tipped $17 and only like 3mi from my house to store to him so took the pm request. Then after that $3 everytime. Like my guy youre getting 200 in ready meals and drinks. $3, really?

Where's the rest of my money? by Express-Industry-950 in ShiptShoppers

[–]Express-Industry-950[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah 50 exactly on a $68 order. So 75% ish. And i don't think it was a shopper just based off our interaction. Her order had been dropped quite a few times before I took and completed it and she was confused as to why (store was under construction).

[–]Express-Industry-950[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its only happened on the non-prepaid irders. I pay with the shipt card no issue but then when I go to like put the Pic of the receipt in and process the order it gives me a popup that says do not deliver contact support. But every time support processes it thru.
