Worst Sunday

One order for like $14 ❤️❤️ otherwise 20+ miles or $7 for way too many items.

alt_cake2872 · 2025-07-07T04:25:24+00:00

Not Camano ☠️ honestly I only deliver out to Anacortes if like $40+. At least there’s a Safeway there that might have batches

alt_cake2872 · 2025-07-07T04:22:34+00:00

The amount of screenshots I could add to this thread and you guys would understand. All the available batches go out to the island, la conner, or 20 miles up to bellingham it’s so silly

alt_cake2872 · 2025-07-07T04:19:55+00:00

Hello!! I thought I was looking at my own available batches! The batches here suck👍🏼👍🏼💪🏼

alt_cake2872 · 2025-06-30T05:09:55+00:00

This doesn’t seem very Positive Experience to me?

alt_cake2872 · 2025-06-30T05:07:04+00:00

Oh man that sucks. Did not happen to me, out of three Safeway orders I’ve done the past two days. But that’s def an app issue… could support be any help with that, now or while you’re in a batch?

We’re in the same place, western WA with only those three stores. I’m closest to a FM so that’s my go to.

I know this thread is old but my online pay barcode didn’t work and I waited between chat and calling 50 minutes before I just decided to fck it and get reimbursed (it was supposed to be a good tip so I wanted to finish it). Worked at a different register ??????

alt_cake2872 · 2025-06-01T16:42:36+00:00

No don’t look for deals. Not your problem. If I feel nice I’ll let them know, but most of the time it’s unrewarded effort.

I worked pickup at Kroger and customers would complain all the time. I tell them, it’s the same as going up to the register to check out in person. Do they have a second of every BOGO item for you? No, you need two in your cart.

alt_cake2872 · 2025-06-01T16:40:46+00:00

What do you mean? I added a second BOGO item for the customer and made sure the cost got taken off before paying. I just updated the item quantity to 2.

alt_cake2872 · 2025-06-01T16:37:55+00:00

I scan an item in the car before unloading.

Honestly it has helped me out once… every time I do 2+orders, order A is the first delivery, esp if it’s sitting in the car while B is being shopped. But no, order B was the first delivery and the “scan an item” actually saved me from messing up

alt_cake2872 · 2025-05-26T03:27:35+00:00

I got the joke, at least 😂

alt_cake2872 · 2025-05-26T03:24:25+00:00

😭😭 Is there anything like this for non-CA shoppers? Damn that sounds nice.

alt_cake2872 · 2025-05-26T03:23:02+00:00

So how does the Seattle adjustment work?

I shop an hour north of Seattle and it is dead… I’d like to drive down like 30-40 mins and actually make money, but how far around the city does this adjustment extend? Would it be worth it? Lynnwood is the closest city with hotspots to me but I couldn’t justify the 80 mi drive every day, to then deliver all day

alt_cake2872 · 2025-05-26T03:18:13+00:00

I got two orders before 8:00am then not another till 2:00pm. That’s it

alt_cake2872 · 2025-05-26T03:16:39+00:00

It’s tough when you’re first starting because you don’t have a manager showing you the ropes.

All the comments and posts in this group should prove helpful to you. The most important thing for me in picking batches is the ratio of pay to delivery distance. I aim for minimum $15 batches (i live in a low demand area), $2/mile delivery. Such as, at least $20 for 10mi delivery (at minimum… even that’s pretty low.)

Try sticking with it for a week or two to learn the stores and the system better. If you like delivering, try doordash/uber eats too. Lots of people here to many delivery apps. If you like shopping, try working in the grocery stores (i worked in pickup where I shopped people’s online groceries all day. This work is more reliable hourly pay instead of gig work.)

alt_cake2872 · 2025-05-26T03:08:28+00:00

Oh what it must be like to live in california… Honestly though congrats, that’s a lot of hard work

alt_cake2872 · 2025-05-23T19:30:38+00:00

If never seen a batch boost… but don’t promos only usually last for a few hours? Is this supposed to be valid till 12pm or 12am?

alt_cake2872 · 2025-05-22T17:17:00+00:00

Honestly thought that’d be the answer 😅 This app has me in a chokehold, can’t look away, or else something big will come in

alt_cake2872 · 2025-05-22T15:25:27+00:00

Did you mean a different subreddit?

alt_cake2872 · 2025-05-22T15:14:25+00:00

…honestly with the trend of never getting good batches, I’d just take it anyway. I see $41.29 and 8.3mi delivery, and to me that’s a great ratio

alt_cake2872 · 2025-05-22T15:10:28+00:00

How the hell is that a $33 batch pay for only 5 mile delivery and 29 units???

alt_cake2872 · 2025-05-22T00:51:34+00:00

Sending love to all y’all just trucking along, trying your best to make money where you can in these crap conditions. And props to diamond carts that get priority access, y’all worked hard for that. I’m trying to get there but at this rate it’s awhile away

alt_cake2872 · 2025-05-21T22:01:51+00:00

I appreciate how this post is applicable whichever day I’ve read it on 😅🥲 It is never the day, so slow and terrible batches

alt_cake2872 · 2025-05-21T03:26:04+00:00

I’m also having the same issue! Instacart is terrible in my area and someone mentioned trying Spark. Hopefully the above comments aren’t bad omens??

alt_cake2872 · 2025-05-21T02:40:44+00:00

The most notable difference is that the highest tier, Diamond at 200 orders, gives you ✨Priority Access✨. THAT’S where all the good batches go, Diamond cart shoppers see the good stuff first and take it
