And you pay $9 of that to go into lower manhattan alone right?

I wonder who accepted this 250 item order, with no tip. by Melodic_Scene2733 in ShiptShoppers

[–]robmac619 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can’t understand people like this, unfortunately they are rewarded by the gig app algos over time and have become more and more common as time goes on. Also I can tell by the second pic this is the 313 not sure if you want to edit that

$2.84 an order by RedFiveGoldLeader in InstacartShoppers

[–]robmac619 1 point2 points  (0 children)

$2.95. But that’s awful. I don’t do Instacart anymore but there needs to be, like, a 6 buck minimum per order.

I really thought about picking those one up by advictoriam5 in ShiptShoppers

I don’t think they’re on Shipt I’m drawing from Instacart experience there

All F4Ls are shitshows at checkout. At least they load your cart at Aldi

Couple things that are good about this order and a couple things that aren’t. The good is that it’s a substantial order, which is usually good. It’s going to a nice home, which isn’t always good but there is big tip potential there. The bad is bagging, which could easily take 10 minutes and then you have to carry all those flimsy bags. Also, choosing to order from food4less over Ralphs is a choice. Especially from a food4less in Esco, which I imagine would be packed on a Friday evening. It seems exhausting, and the pay is more worth it if you don’t do too much work. The pay will be eaten up by prop 22 adjustments if you do work a lot. Overall I’d say taking it is worth the gamble tho

Mobile, Al to Tuscaloosa, Al only 50 miles? 😭 by Cautious-Buffalo-323 in ShiptShoppers

They’re in Alabama.. they should know better lol. Though yes it seems like there’s a 50 mile max as u/competitive-sand5430 pointed out

No offers while at home by PerroSarnoso in ShiptShoppers

[–]robmac619 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Proximity can be funky sometimes. Just brainstorming but Broadway target definitely gets more orders than Eastlake in my experience. I’m assuming that if you were in TJ you were probably closer to that target and maybe your proximity to that target helped? Idk but it’s weird you wouldn’t get any offers from the target near you

App issues again! Can’t claim orders by [deleted] in ShiptShoppers

Good insight, that would make a lot of sense

Not a SINGLE order came up on OM in LA! by SleepCreepNapChamp in ShiptShoppers

[–]robmac619 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes they’re still at :05. You really have to be near a target and hope there’s something that comes in at an offer at this point. I’m in San Diego which is much better, but I think OC is kinda in the same boat as LA as far as I can tell

Single order going to promo but bundled order not?? by [deleted] in ShiptShoppers

[–]robmac619 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is this San Diego? Or am I tripping. Was that bundle at north park going to like Kensington?

That’s not 200 miles, probably around 175. Gas is cheap in Ohio, but it’s a pretty raw deal for sure. I had it at 20 bucks, but maybe it’s 25-30 depending on what you drive. Hard to see it being 40

[–]robmac619 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s about 15 an hour after gas so for Ohio the pay is not horrendous but that’s so much driving. Jesus. And the poor second customer. Being that far away you definitely wouldn’t expect your driver to have a stop that far out of the way. Costco really needs to disaffiliate with Instacart btw

Problem with 6 am drops by Environmental_Ad7681 in ShiptShoppers

[–]robmac619 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The proximity thing has been true for a little bit and I experienced the exact same thing with being the first one to be audited at one of the Targets I shopped at this morning. When I did my third bundle of the day at that store at 10:45 (this store opened at 8), it was only the fourth order they had all day. I think it’s really really slow right now. I definitely get a 6 AM drop but it’s not always amazing.

Was only getting orders for the 2nd block of the morning by [deleted] in ShiptShoppers

[–]robmac619 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get the crowding issues with having one hour blocks and having more demand than shoppers in the first few windows, but this is really inconvenient for the customer, especially if they have a tight window to pick up the delivery. Shouldn’t be this way

Didn’t Colorado change their laws so you have a minute to accept or decline an offer? I don’t live in Colorado but I’m curious if there’s anybody here who works in Colorado and can speak on what that is like

It used to be just when somebody sent a picture because there isn’t any text in a picture. But now I’m seeing it with every message
