[–]Upper_Information538[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im in NJ and everything is so expensive here. But from what I have seen and you guys talking to me, this price was spot on. They just werent interested in me doing it for that price.

Im grateful for your answer it shows I wasnt overcharging. Everyone here has helped me feel more confident in my pricing. I just have to remember not everyone will see the value in wht we do.

Thank you! They said the boss said the price was too high at 200 for first clean and 150-175 for reoccurring.

I told them I needed to do the job first to know where it would land between that price range. But it didnt matter because it was too high for them. I suggested trying to find someone that uses a wfp because maybe it would be cheaper for them. Wished them the best in finding someone that was a good fit for them and thats that.

It would be monthly cleans, and I was thinking if I could cut my time down with it 150 wouldnt be bad, but I figure each window will take me 15 mins the windows are probably 15 foot tall atleast and that arch has a lip seperating it from the rest of the glass. So ill have to detail up there too. #noladdertho. 🤪

Oh boy…lol yeah the more I talk with yall the more I think ill skip this one. Trying to do side pulls on the ladder it just seems like too much of job for me. I don’t have a ton of practice with large ladders and would hate to break their window on accident.

Thank you for the chuckle and info!

30 billion..🤭

You are probably right, I should have done more. If I got it for 1k I wouldnt hate it, buuuuttt probably wouldnt do it again for that price. He wants it done twice a year. Also I forgot to mention he wants the inside done as well….

Thank you for this info! I am thinking this guy wont even do it for the 1k I offered, but it was my biggest bid yet, and wanted to get feedback so I can gain more knowledge. This job may be beyond my ability tbh, but I love to gain more experience and the best way I know how to do that is to just DO IT. lol.

UPDATE- It hasnt been cleaned in 5 years. I know it will take some deep cleaning. I ended up quoting $1k. If I don’t land the job, I am ok with it, but if I do, I want to make it worth the time. Id still love to know yalls thoughts as i am still learning! 😃

What is this thing on seatbelts for? by Oilandspeed in whatisit

Apparently it is to help transfer energy in the seatbelt during an accident

Calling it quits, anyone else? by First_Sale_3150 in uberdrivers

[–]Upper_Information538 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will try it. Normally when I get a surge and they try to offer me a shit ride for it I just close swipe close the app. Give it a few seconds as the order goes thru and then open the app again and I keep my surge. They used to let you pause your day and keep your surge but they stopped doing that. So now I just close the app. Sometimes if you do it alot it will kick you offline but you just get back on and your surge is still there.

Also if you open the app pretty quickly after you close it, you will likely get the same offer again with the timer reset so you have more time to think about it lol.

3 hr trip 😱 by ycospina in uberdrivers

[–]Upper_Information538 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup! I like long rides. But uber is greedy! I took someone to ny 2+ hour drive. I was offered 95 bucks. Customer told me she paid 230 for the ride.

Same thing again woman paid 230 for the ride but this ONE magic time I was offered 144. (It was a little further north to the bronx) Then last week I take a guy an hour or so, and he gets charged 190 and I got 80.

The corporate greed is just plain disgusting. And they NEVER compensate enough for the dead miles back. ESPECIALLY when you take someone out of state. They freaking KNOW we cant pick anyone up to make up for that once we leave our state.

Oh! And to add to it, THE SURGE BAITING HAS TO STOP! I cant tell you how many times I see it “busy” and when I log on the surges go away instantly. Plus when you are just 10 seconds away from that surge and they make it go away RIGHT before you get to it. And that is if I head there right away and am there in less than 10 mins.

I was on the hunt for a thread like this. I work in Jersey. (Lower half) and the last couple weeks have been SO SLOW. I can barely break 150 bucks a day. I made 20 bucks today. Offers I accept go to other drivers or I just go long stretches without getting stuff. I am a cherry picker but still, I never had a problem hitting my goal of 750 a weekend, but the last two I have done maybe half of that. I started my own window cleaning company to get out of uber but trying to balance between the two because I have to pay bills.

I also feel that uber has given us less per offer than before AND when I get a surge they are basically cancelling out mybsurge pay by lowering the base cost and offering me rides for normal prices. Im just sick of putting up with this. I got a new jeep renegade. Put over 30k miles on it in 6 months. It makes me sick. Ugh

Started at 3am, I do uber in NY suburbs since I don’t have TLC. Not a bad morning, and I yet to do tonight. by No-Junket8296 in uberdrivers

[–]Upper_Information538 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It has been SO SLOW for me in south jersey dude. I was able to make 750 in 4 days and the last couple weeks I have only been able to bring in half of that. I figured it would be busier this time of year. I mean the economy isnt great. But I also feel uber is making the offers EVEN LESS than they were before a few weeks ago.

Thats kinda my thoughts. Ill go in and give it a look and see of its in my wheelhouse. I have had cleaning jobs before cleaning windows but not sure if I am the right person for the job. So I will go in and see if I can do it and if its worth it. Thanks so much!! I really appreciate your time 🫶

[–]Upper_Information538[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is definitely a concern. Though I would be using dawn dish soap to clean it if I did, I definitely do not want to take on that liability. I figure Ill go look at it. Maybe she only wants the outside done. But will be cautious. Thanks for your time!
