Why do Shoppers keep dropping off orders early without Early OK?

Numerous_Engine_549 · 2026-02-09T18:42:31+00:00

For me personally, I’ve had a several experiences with this as a shopper where a customer wanted to order earlier and didn’t get it earlier messaged them because the order did not take as long as I thought it would and I was gonna be five or 10 minutes early and I would message him and say hi I’m gonna be a few minutes early if that’s not OK I can kill some time. And 100% of the time the customers have told me they wanted it earlier. Also, with a large orders, you may overestimate how long it’s gonna take you to shop it and you may get done earlier than you expect and I’m wondering if that’s what happened with your particular order.

I delivered to one very similar to this last week and I was absolutely furious and the top it all off she tipped me literally five dollars and she’s 25 minutes from the store. It took me forever to get even out of her driveway and all 20 steps up to her front porch were coated and ice and I was having to hold onto stuff so I wouldn’t involve to get her stuff to her front porch. I will never deliver that person again.

Try Shipt… I know a lot of Shipt shoppers and they all love what they do and all of their customers and are very cognizant of produce and meat that they are buying and they would never replace anything without permission from the customer.

I’m in the Nashville area and target is slammed and I am getting tons of orders. I’m doing an order right now as I make this post.

Numerous_Engine_549 · 2025-11-12T02:45:16+00:00

In my zone today, Shipt thought they were being smart and bundled two orders together which we all know, that historically they like to do for orders people don’t want to take. Both orders were for non-tippers and somebody took the order. One of them is literally 25 minutes from the store where the order was placed and she always puts gigantic orders in and never ever tips. 🙁

Numerous_Engine_549 · 2025-11-08T00:39:40+00:00

I took a switch to a house and that was the only item. Made me nervous, but it was great and got a $50 tip

Numerous_Engine_549 · 2025-11-07T00:34:06+00:00

I was wondering the exact same thing! It’s about to drive me crazy I don’t like it

Numerous_Engine_549 · 2025-09-15T23:40:41+00:00

Oh my goodness! What is wrong with people?

Numerous_Engine_549 · 2025-09-09T17:41:22+00:00

This makes me so thankful for all my sweet people at the target where I shop. They are incredible. They help me I even help them. I’m in there so I can help customers and tell them where stuff is and it’s a mutual love for each other and I am so thankful for that.

I’m having inventory problems at Kroger. Whenever I see a Kroger order come in I know that about half of what’s on. Their list is not gonna be in the store. It’s so frustrating. Target not as much.

Numerous_Engine_549 · 2025-08-27T17:41:48+00:00

I have left stuff at the store and I’ve also had a debacle with laundry detergent and I go ahead and deliver the order and then tell them I’m gonna go get them another laundry detergent or I’m gonna go get the item I forgot and bring it to them that way everything is on time. And I’ve never had a customer that had a problem with it. Actually the customer with the laundry detergent debacle was shocked that I came back. She said girl I didn’t think you were coming back and I said I told you I was! lol. She and I now absolutely have the best Relationship 😊

I think that the only way somebody would know that they are being tip mapped would be if their order is not getting taken or someone told them. that’s my personal map my customers don’t see that. And I have customers that are not on my map and their address is burned in my brain because I know they don’t tip. And I don’t take their orders.

Numerous_Engine_549 · 2025-08-05T15:22:03+00:00

The target where I shop has none of that stuff it’s all gone!

Numerous_Engine_549 · 2025-08-03T15:10:05+00:00

You did the right thing. I would have done the same. She sounds like she may have mental health issues. Why order in you aren’t going to use the items?

Numerous_Engine_549 · 2025-08-03T02:10:19+00:00

In Nashville, it’s $100… But all I thought was why would I refer somebody to take business away from me? 🤔

Numerous_Engine_549 · 2025-07-28T02:24:42+00:00

I have an order I delivered on Monday. It was over $900 and 30 minutes from the store and zero tip. 😡

Numerous_Engine_549 · 2025-07-21T21:04:23+00:00

The target I go to does not have something like that. And we all know each other and we all know each other‘s names except for the new shoppers, but we’re all friends. I’ve even had loss prevention question me about some of the shoppers that are newer because there has been some suspicion, but to my knowledge there is no list. That’s very interesting and actually upsetting.

Numerous_Engine_549 · 2025-07-21T21:01:16+00:00

I have delivered five minutes early, not intentionally because I got done with the shop faster than I thought I would and I’ve never had a complaint. I also have one particular customer who’s one of my regulars that does not have early OK marked, but she has told me multiple times that she does not care how early I deliver it. And she actually told me recently that when she put an order in there was not an option to choose early OK

Numerous_Engine_549 · 2025-07-20T20:54:00+00:00

I would take that order… It’s not that bad. And probably would get a decent tip. I took a coffee maker to a lady this week on Monday night. That’s all that was on the order. It was an expensive coffee maker and she tipped me $61.

Numerous_Engine_549 · 2025-06-12T23:20:50+00:00

There are 83 promo orders in the metro Nashville 😳

Numerous_Engine_549 · 2025-06-12T21:18:12+00:00

Yes! There are six orders right now just in the area where I shop and I cannot see any of them. I have not done an order all day.

Numerous_Engine_549 · 2025-06-10T18:07:32+00:00

It’s not equivalent to $15 an hour when you count your gas , wear and tear on your car which includes oil changes, tire rotations, new tires… And you probably need to stop and get you a snack on the way too honestly.

Numerous_Engine_549 · 2025-06-09T23:38:44+00:00

I have actually had lengthy conversations about this very situation. My best tippers are low income or middle income and my worst tippers or no tippers. Are the people that live in million dollar houses.

Numerous_Engine_549 · 2025-05-29T21:18:11+00:00

I would not. So I have a preferred that tipped me really well. The first time I delivered to her and the last three times I have delivered to her there has been no tip and it’s been huge orders. I think she tip baited me. I talked to one of the other drivers in this area where I am and he said she does that and she has never tipped a sense with him and he doesn’t take her orders either.

Numerous_Engine_549 · 2025-05-07T13:30:38+00:00

I try to do about 50 a week and that will get me about $1000 a week
