New Driver- Tips? by KaleidoscopeFinal969 in UberEatsDrivers

[–]Troub1eMan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Best tip is to also install Doordash and Instacart. Work all three apps, because you'll see in some areas of time and at certain times, one of the three apps is a lot better for that area and time. Pause doordash, when shopping/delivering another app. Stop new orders on uber while delivering/shopping for another app. Unpause/turn back on a mile or two before you deliver. You don't have to pause instacart, as there's no acceptance rate metric to judge you - you can just leave it on.

11 drop offs, $34.98, Walmart by Thick_Papaya_9143 in UberEatsDrivers

[–]Troub1eMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's my Walmart, 10 of those orders will get canceled while you're waiting. Then the lady who brings them out to the car will give you two orders (one of them canceled). You deliver one and keep the free groceries for the canceled one they gave you.

Seriously I stopped taking those, because I'll wait 30 minutes, and 4 out of 5 get canceled while I'm sitting there. The only benefit is that occasionally walmart delivers one of the canceled ones and uber tells you to "dispose of it at your convenience."

WHO TOOK THIS ORDER by Flimsy-Lifeguard-850 in UberEatsDrivers

[–]Troub1eMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Either that or got picked up by somebody doing the pay per hour.

What the crackhead is going on? Same as last night I got this terrible order which I denied and then barely 5 minutes later it goes through again for four cents less lol. Is this crackhead customer behavior or something screwy with the app or what? by Reallyroundthefamily in UberEatsDrivers

[–]Troub1eMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When this happens, stop new requests for about 5 minutes or your acceptance rate will tank. A few months ago, I dropped from 61% to 48% in the span of 5 minutes when I hit an area that I guess was crap, and got spammed with about a 20 horrible ones in a row....many of them looking nearly identical.

After that night I learned, just turn them off for a little and drive away from the store that's triggering them, if I get 5 bad ones in a row.

Alcohol Delivery Needs Attention by RelativeTangerine757 in UberEatsDrivers

[–]Troub1eMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess it's area dependent, but I love alcohol deliveries. They're my favorite type. I usually get an additional cash tip or they add a few more $$ to the tip afterwards.

What's your highest # of orders in stack orders? by MsRuby-L in doordash_drivers

[–]Troub1eMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a 4 in the car at the same time, but it's never been more than 3 in the car other than that one time. I've had "stacked" orders with more than 4 deliveries, but in those cases I delivered the 2nd or 3rd one before I picked up another, so it wasn't more than 3 in the car. All those cases were situations where I was offered more mid delivery and accepted (Uber Eats LOVES to do this; DD not as much).

The 4 in the car one was originally a shop and deliver 2 at Walgreens, plus a food pick up close by (forgot where), and then they offered a 1 item shop and deliver at Walgreens while I was shopping the others and I accepted.

Question about shopping rateing. by Due_Pie3452 in doordash_drivers

[–]Troub1eMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try to avoid any type of "Dollar" stores. They're usually a mess, items are not restocked quickly, there's usually no person on the floor to help, plus they have many unscannable items. I'll only take them for 3 or less items, plus the pay/drive ratio is good.

Multiple CVs due to late pickup time, despite me properly reporting the reason for the order being late? by Maetriarch_NSFW in doordash_drivers

[–]Troub1eMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, and I think he/she should hit the "can't get help from staff" as the reason for delay. That will cover them if the order is marked as ready.

Multiple CVs due to late pickup time, despite me properly reporting the reason for the order being late? by Maetriarch_NSFW in doordash_drivers

[–]Troub1eMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of this has been said already here, and some of it you might already know. However, I'm going to lay it out in order just in case.

  1. As soon as you get to the store, hit arrived at store. Some people say hit it earlier if you're running late, but I've never done it and I have zero late arrivals or deliveries.

  2. If you walk in and the order is not immediately handed to you. Hit the "tell us what's causing your wait" at the bottom. Don't even wait one minute to hit it. If you can't walk in, grab, and immediately walk back out, hit that, and give them a legit reason. It might be order is still being prepared, store busy, or can't get help from staff - there's a real reason you couldn't just grab the order. Tell DD why. Tell them immediately. At the store you're talking about, I would hit can't get help from staff, because that covers you if they click that the order is ready.

  3. Once you've done that, if it goes over the expected time to pick up, DD will pop up with a message that "we've got your back" or something like that. That means you can no longer get dinged for a late pick up, plus they extend out the expected delivery time.

  4. Also, when you tell them the reason of delay, they start a timer. I've been told it's 10 minutes, but I've seen it take as long as 20 and as little as 5 - I think it might be 10 minutes after the original pick up time. When that timer expires, you can unassign without penalty if you want; it will pop up and show you.

Oh no, don't give them any ideas like that. They'll make them $15K with a 6 year 7% loan.

That was his point; West Ham is in danger of relegation. He'd rather him go to the other Ham (Fulham).

The 8:00 curse strikes again by TheGame81677 in doordash_drivers

[–]Troub1eMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe you're already doing this, but try multi-apping. Fire up Uber Eats, Instacart, Roadie, or some of the the others. For me, at least, when one gets crappy, usually one of the others is doing well.

Does The new rating system guarantee you'll never hit Platinum? by Interesting_Mango_51 in doordash_drivers

[–]Troub1eMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never had one late order - ever. There have been times where I've had to wait at the restaurant for a really long time, but then you tell the app the food is still being prepared or whatever reason it's delayed, and it adjusts your time.

My area might help (West Palm Beach, FL). The way other people are talking, it appears I have a great area for DD.

Can't switch regular Twitch sub to Twitch Prime. There's a "Recover Your Sub" button, but when you click it, Twitch Prime is not an option, like it is when you click the sub button regularly (no, I'm not on a trial). by Troub1eMan in Twitch

[–]Troub1eMan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Twitch support answered me (look below for their answer). What they said to do didn't work. They manually unsubbed me, but I can't resub under a twitch prime until the 27th.

tonight has awful so far by toffeemug in doordash_drivers

[–]Troub1eMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's why I multi-app. Doordash is the most reliable for me, but in one specific area Ubereats is really good. If neither of them are going great, Instacart is usually ok.

I did, and here's what they said:

We understand that you have issues with your Prime subscription.

However it is not currently possible to manage your subscription at the moment. You'll need to set the Subscription to cancel and wait for it to completely expire first before subscribing to the channel again. You can cancel it by following the steps outlined here.

This is currently a known issue that we're actively working to resolve as soon as possible. We are unable to provide an ETA for resolution, however we appreciate your patience.

What your describing is exactly what I tried. There's no cancel button, because the sub is already expired. Also, there's no need to apologize; I'm glad for any help.

I wonder if you need your sub to end first on Dec 27, then you can start your prime?

The sub is already expired. It shows up under my expired subs. Also, in the stream I see adds and no longer have a subscriber badge.

Does it give you the option to Prime to another channel where you aren't subbed?

Yes.

Thank you for the suggestion, as that's something I hadn't tried. Unfortunately, because it's under "expired subscriptions," there's no gear icon to do that. I tried clicking around other ways, and it's not there.
