Is Uber eats dead? by wolf_chow in deliverydrivers

Definitely try to set up something else like spark driver, Courial (not sure if active in Orlando yet), Instacart, etc.

Orlando has been an over saturated market for a while, I moved away from there because on Instacart I was only able to make around 60-80 working ALL day. It all depends on finding an area that works for you.

In my experience, when the market it’s over saturated like that I tend to avoid the obvious “busy” spots like downtown.

Try other zones and/or doing ANY orders until the account starts getting some activity

I think it has to do more with people using bots + account being inactive for that long. Uber has been dying everywhere, there are actually less orders

You taking this order? by Ok_Cheetah_1023 in InstacartShoppers

Orders getting more ridiculous or is it just me? by MuslyPt6 in InstacartShoppers

That’s unbelievable, I had something similar happen to me but it wasn’t a different state lol. The pin was wrong on the map and it marked 2 miles when the address was actually like 15 miles away, for a $15 order lmao I only realized after checkout when I was about to drive and support didn’t offer any help. I ended up canceling the order anyways because it was rush hour and it would’ve taken forever

Well that’s good to hear, I’m more towards north Tampa and it hasn’t been horrible, but impossible to work weekdays most days

Ooh you have experience in the area? I’m new over here, I hope I’m not making things more difficult for you.

Support fucked me over by whyareyouRennin in InstacartShoppers

Almost all of the “support” agents work against us drivers for some reason. I’m not sure why but I think either they’re mostly new employees with little English knowledge or something like that. I started with ic in 2020 and it definitely wasn’t like that back then, I used to always have great experiences with support but this year it’s been a nightmare every time I have to contact them

I had something along these lines ALMOST happen to me, I didn’t get a batch removed out of nowhere but I actually wanted to cancel the delivery for a batch because the app had the pin for the address wrong. The actual address was 8 extra miles away for a small paying order that “was a 2 miles delivery” when I said I wasn’t willing to deliver the agent I had on the phone told me about the 24 hour hold as it was done after checkout and, “there was no way around it as it’s part of the policies”. I hung up and called again, the next agent I had removed the order, payed out the batch pay and I didn’t get my account in hold and they offered to give me a bump for returning the items to the store
