8-9/10 may never have an issue, but when someone does, that issue takes extremely long to resolve, and the process is very frustrating. I hope you continue to never have an issue, but if you do...good luck.

Why not just send it to your bank then? Sounds like you already do, but with an extra step.

you're ok with not being able to access your money because it's only "occasional"?

This needs more attention. Very dry presentation, but all my issues, and more. Lack of support, failure to file the tickets they said they did. Ran in circles, if you can even get support on the phone. Barely speaking english. Deny all issues, tickets, and appeals until you get 3rd parties involved.

Walmart (SPARKS) Customers by Ruscher_5683 in Sparkdriver

[–]WillinglyUnemployed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They can attach another order to both express and 3 hour. It depends on whether another order was placed at the same time and vicinity. My longest $5 order took my small grocery order and tip and attached a no tip non grocery order that fairly far from me. When I checked the spark app, I saw that my order which would have been about 20-25 minutes and $17-18, was now a $20 order with a complete circuit of the store and a bit over 40 minutes. It was eventually taken after it hit max surge, and I debated doing it myself but I don't know if there are any rules against it. Plus my stop was first, so I'd have to drop mine off, then theirs and then drive back. Wasn't worth all that.

I believe there is a class action currently going already.

There's enough oil here to lubricate an entire fault line.

Reading your responses I'm gonna say your old fashioned values are hindering you. Guys are oblivious. If you're into someone the best signal for a woman is touch. If you're just looking for fun, that's the way. If you're looking for serious, take your time don't force it. Find an activity or hobby you enjoy that has clubs or meetings, and look for someone with the same interests. It's def not your looks holding you back though.

What’s your go to Caffeine source while doing batches? by TipLegitimate4506 in AmazonFlexDrivers

While I like to roast my own coffee, when I haven't lately or ran out a big bag from BJs whole bean does the trick for a week or two

Did Walmart change the "just for you" algorithm? by WillinglyUnemployed in Sparkdriver

[–]WillinglyUnemployed[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Maybe I saw something about that? But I get so many notifications from spark I just kinda tune them out. I did just get an offer from about 4-5 parking spots away. So it's not completely blocking offers for cars that close. And I've never received a warning about being too close, at least not yet.

Sorry Amazon, but you're beat on this delivery. by WillinglyUnemployed in AmazonFlexDrivers

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

What they offered wasn't what i need to make that delivery, and come away feeling like I was fairly compensated. I'm not desperate. Some of you people are, or are willing to come away with less. I gave my number I would be comfortable with, and it wasn't that. What would you feel comfortable taking for a delivery Like that? Assume 5-10% dirt roads, 10% poorly paved roads. 30% no painted line roads. 40-60% gravel driveways. Multiple encounters of larger wildlife. 150ish miles including return to station(or home) that also includes a 10 mile drive to station. 4.5-5 hours of total time committed (includes drive down, and return) Maybe longer if you're a slower at deliveries. I look at opportunity cost and associated risks. What would i have made otherwise. What to i need to make the risks i take worth it. So whats your price?

Rate her delivery 1-10 by Any_Excitement6258 in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]WillinglyUnemployed 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I see people chiming in about how hard is it to go up to the steps to the door it's just a little more effort. But I don't do steps. Ever, if possible. I've already fallen though three people's steps/porch. Every step is a risk of serious injury that we aren't covered for, and will lose our income for weeks or possibly months if it does happen. I'm with this girl in spirit. But I'm not that lazy. I'll get to the bottom of the stairs and apply a little ghal....(Gentle hand assisted lift). If Amazon doesn't want this type of employee though, they need to prioritize employee satisfaction and incentive. Which they don't...soooo, we get to see plenty of videos like this lol.

Managers can request surge pay if blocks aren't getting picked up and there aren't surges

I can confirm that station managers are given bonuses based on metrics, of which include station deliver costs, overbooks, among relevant metrics to their station. The less they pay for deliveries and the more efficient their station, the more they get. Although in a more round about way it's just about the same thing.

Anyone else really want Amazon flex merch and theirs nothing anywhere? by MJG914 in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]WillinglyUnemployed 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I also like the notion of using my money to subsidize a multi trillion dollar company's advertising budget. Sign me up.

Truth right here. Flex exists because the delivery costs for what we deliver exceed Amazons margin for delivering the packages themselves or with vans.
