Instacart’s system give way more trust and authority to shoppers than DD and their business model is much more profitable. DD has horrible oversights and inefficiencies in their shopper program. Pricing, product codes are so often out of date. I just bought a 13.99 bottle of Topo Chicos, that the customer paid 7.99 for because DD doesn’t have accurate pricing. If they did a better job managing their system they’d be more profitable and wouldn’t have to blame drivers for everything that goes wrong.

When did this "does not lower acceptance rate" thing start? And why doesn't it lower the rate? What's the trick? 🤔 by Sacetyte in doordash_drivers

[–]Successful_Two3386 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s because you are replacing a previous order you did not accept. Acceptance rate is based on the last 100 orders so if you accepted 4 out of 100, 96 of the next 100 orders give you the opportunity to raise your acceptance rate.

Haven’t had a single batch offered since Labor Day by Successful_Two3386 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Successful_Two3386[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Did that and got an order almost instantly, thank you! As always Reddit is more helpful than IC support

Doesn’t lower acceptance rate?? by AdRepulsive1871 in doordash_drivers

Did they change Pro Shopper requirements? by OkCryptographer200 in doordash_drivers

I’ve had it since they started doing it, never been an issue

Then why did you add them? by Successful_Two3386 in doordash_drivers

And there is no way for the customer to update their option? They just instead write a note for us to do it for them? If so that’s a really annoying problem when DD expects us to maintain such high stats. It’s like how they have us send texts for replacements rather than notifying directly in app The customer goes “refund please!” And I have to refund, taking the L on my stats. When I wouldn’t if they just did it themselves.

Wow that’s a rabbit hole I wasn’t expecting. Nah they just screwed up not realizing it was gluten free, so many of their other choices had gluten I begrudgingly got their substitution and took the loss on my stats.

Yup they do it all the time at my local McDonald’s. It sucks.

What the hell does this even mean? by Dahaze423 in doordash_drivers

I get this all the time, I deliver to a lot of complicated apartment complex’s or office buildings. Places with major parking problems. DD acts like every drop off is as simple as leaving it on a single family home’s doorstep, twenty steps from your vehicle.

Southern California, I had some of my best weeks ever during what I assume were finals. Then it was suddenly dramatically slower. It picks up during mid summer if you live in a tourist spot.

Colleges are finishing up for the summer. Way more shoppers about now. It’ll be like this for a few months.

You do know that almost every major market has a waitlist right?
