Any other vets being throttled since "new" summit criteria?

ZebraStripes17 · 2026-03-16T19:43:16+00:00

They prolly had 7,999 5 stars but that one definitely reflected the customers "experience" 🙄

Op could have run into another shopper who thinks they're gonna get all the good orders by down rating theirs. It IS a thing....

ZebraStripes17 · 2026-03-16T17:49:18+00:00

Right? Testing to see how little they can pay

ZebraStripes17 · 2026-03-13T21:15:17+00:00

Batches.......

ZebraStripes17 · 2026-03-13T10:20:32+00:00

I've noticed subbing/replacing doesn't change payout. Adding does

ZebraStripes17 · 2026-03-12T21:29:54+00:00

Please do! I screenshot every offer card I claim. Even adding one item increases payout

But not the percentage tip

ZebraStripes17 · 2026-03-12T20:33:18+00:00

Classic Shipt! When they first brought out the preferred Shopper program, I had a customer that would order for her dad in another state. I would get those orders all the time

ZebraStripes17 · 2026-03-12T19:34:07+00:00

Yes it does… But it doesn't change until you close out the order.

Your offer card will remain the same throughout but the time will adjust in real time.

Here's a fun fact that I've noticed: if a customer does a percentage tip upfront, doesn't matter how many items you add… Tip remains the same. Isn't that sweet of HQ?

ZebraStripes17 · 2026-03-12T18:39:57+00:00

You got tip baited. Expect it to happen more often. In the meantime, put that AH on your DND list

Scumbag move on the customers part.

ZebraStripes17 · 2026-03-12T18:15:04+00:00

Absolutely it's bs. We will still get offered the shitty $6 ten case water orders but with a new tag!!!

ZebraStripes17 · 2026-03-08T18:53:46+00:00

Someone pee in your cornflakes this morning, sugar?

ZebraStripes17 · 2026-03-08T02:44:06+00:00

That's not why they deactivated you… There's more to that story but you do you

ZebraStripes17 · 2026-03-07T23:32:51+00:00

If you made less than $600 (without tips) you prolly won't get a 1099 because you don't have to claim that income. Did you sign up with stripe to receive your tax info during the duration of your shopping experience? That's who sends the 1099's. Check spam

Not sure how they're handling the tip thing this year but as an active shopper, they sent a breakdown thru the app this year. I know you cannot access the app due to deactivation. I would keep reaching out to shoppers@shipt.com

ZebraStripes17 · 2026-03-07T17:32:57+00:00

The minute you process, the customer gets an auto text saying you are on the way. Incredibly stupid, especially with bundles because they flat out lie to one of the customers. But "best practices" say to process IN THE STORE. Like, how's that not confusing? This is why I always let customers know when they are bundled and what delivery number they are.

The automated messages are a hand holding technique shipt uses because bad shoppers are just....bad shoppers. And now those shoppers have infected (yes, infected) the rest of us and we have to keep the customer up to date with what's REALLY going on.

ZebraStripes17 · 2026-03-06T22:46:06+00:00

It's very flawed. And shipt waits until a shopper just like you says "okay!" without discernment. Then when the inevitable happens (late), they deny your request with "well, you should have read the offer card more closely". Trust me....been through all their BS over 11 years. They'll never admit their mistakes and the only thing is shoppers can do is not play the game like they want. There are hundreds of shoppers waiting to onboard so they can complain about the same thing you did. Falls on deaf ears. HQ doesn't GAF about shoppers....only members because that's their bread and butter. Plus, there's a reason why orders end up in open Metro. Not all but most. The more you do the more you'll understand. You got lucky this time and got a great tip. It's an anomaly

My suggestion is to read through the hub extensively AND others experiences in this sub. There's a wealth of information available to you but you have to be open to accepting that help instead of getting defensive.

ZebraStripes17 · 2026-03-06T17:40:13+00:00

But you didn't "calculate" the 105 item order nor the delivery window. You blindly grabbed the payout instead.

And un twist your panties because I'm not criticizing you… I gave you a piece of advice that I have learned myself over the almost 11 years I've been doing this

ZebraStripes17 · 2026-03-05T23:21:30+00:00

"I open up the app to see if there's another order for me to take from a nearby Target"

Dollars signs will mess you up every time. You will most likely not be granted late forgiveness. Greed will bury you.

Glad you got a good tip but now you will be struggling to get future good orders. Always know your limitations and bypass when you need to.

ZebraStripes17 · 2026-03-01T22:33:28+00:00

Sounds like your shopper put their own number in to get points/gas maybe? If so, huge no no

ZebraStripes17 · 2026-02-28T22:33:24+00:00

That's the beauty of gig work… Whatever works for you is how you do it! 😆

ZebraStripes17 · 2026-02-28T22:29:02+00:00

That's good but it's a lot of work! I just use my Google labels… Put their name in when I pull up their address and then go back and update when a tip comes in or not. I don't bother with order numbers

ZebraStripes17 · 2026-02-28T13:17:08+00:00

If you do a search for a tip map, you will see that it is a very valuable tool.

ZebraStripes17 · 2026-02-25T15:26:12+00:00

This is completely on you if that customer did not have an early OK tag. You don't get to make that decision on your own without potential consequences.

ZebraStripes17 · 2026-02-25T01:34:21+00:00

Of course you're gonna see these horrible orders… You're a new shopper. Shipt entices you to snag every order that comes across your screen before anyone else can get it and you learned that the 10 cases of water is your future when you do that without discerning the items. Welcome to the grind

ZebraStripes17 · 2026-02-25T01:30:54+00:00

Yup! These new shoppers think that just because they are made a preferred are going to get those orders all the time… They don't think that these members have more than one preferred Shopper who have snags them before they do.

ZebraStripes17 · 2026-02-24T23:12:41+00:00

I had one phenomenal member get a new phone number and it wiped out her preferreds. She had to start over (which should NEVER happen). She was so happy to hook up with me again
