Man stay safe out there. Some dumbass nearly took me out today because they decided the parallel park in the bike lane on elston during my dash Lol

[@EddieBenitez3]

wow.... will do man!

Shop and pay on Uber has been incredible for me (specifically grocery orders). Tons of high pay orders in my market. I realized that the trick to completing these orders on time is to not worry about items that the store doesn’t have, just substitute and move on. Yesterday, I got a tip increase on a shopping order and I didn’t substitute a single item in the app, I just pressed “item available” even though some items were unavailable. I just made sure the weight and price were similar enough. Can’t do this with organic items though, if the customer wants organic, the substitute must be organic.

[@gsgangganggang6445]

Is shop and pay available for bikers??I just started Uber eats today under bike and it’s not showing me anything about shop and pays

[@khanrides]

@@gsgangganggang6445 you need to sign up for shop and pay card first

[@EddieBenitez3]

go to main menu / account/ work hub and in there it will show you if you have other opportunities available to you.

[@ricklopez4196]

I like taking walgreens shop & pay orders but jewel not so much cause alot of them have too many items sometimes.

[@EddieBenitez3]

agreed 100%

[@KinokoCardano]

Is 5-9pm your favorite? Do you have any specific times that you like to work for whatever reason?

[@jerrywilliams8598]

5pm to 9pm post to be best tips but it’s not always like that

[@KinokoCardano]

@@jerrywilliams8598 sounds good.. I just don’t know if it’s worth the traffic and wait times.. then again if you’re taking on double the amount of orders it’s probably more than worth it, thanks for the feedback! *\(^o^)/*

[@EddieBenitez3]

I go out for the lunch rush 11am - 2pm and Dinner Rush from 5 to 9

[@E-BikingAdventures]

I'm in the process of editting my first delivery video. I really got an appriciation now for the amount of work that goes into editting these videos.

[@EddieBenitez3]

first video you say! just subscribed can't wait.

[@E-BikingAdventures]

@@EddieBenitez3 . Thanks. My first one is done, but I want 3 in the can before I start posting. Mybe in about 2 weeks. I'll be changing my channel name before then. I'll let you know.

[@titusnixon]

Yeah Bro, it seem like the evening hours are just as slow as the lunch hours. This year not starting off that great. I was only able to schedule one day this week, but I have some business DT so I'll try to pick up some deliveries not expecting much, but you have to rely on your other hustles. Great video as usual Eddie!

[@EddieBenitez3]

thanks Titus I feel you man

[@Matsterious]

I love these videos

[@EddieBenitez3]

Thanks Matt!

[@iandrew6347]

Hi Sir great video again it seems crazy to me to leave food orders on the doorstep I always request to my delivery person to knock the door . Watching from the U.K.

[@EddieBenitez3]

Cheers Ian, thank you! agree 100%

[@lychenthrope]

I dont think you should be broadcasting your delivery addresses, but this is a neat video nonetheless

[@EddieBenitez3]

Thanks 🙏

[@timothysternling4593]

That photograph punches you out like you're in 3d and with backlighting. Nice. Did your wife create that picture?

[@EddieBenitez3]

yes, my wife took and edited the picture. thank you!

[@carterspencer2040]

Yay 🎉

[@EddieBenitez3]

thank you!

[@IWantMyVisionBack]

🔥🔥🔥

[@EddieBenitez3]

thank you!

[@gsgangganggang6445]

Hey bro so I just took my first couple orders today on my bike and I noticed I don’t have any option for signing up for pay and go orders were you giving the option in bike mode to start doing shop and gos?

[@EddieBenitez3]

I was given the option to shop and pay about 2 years ago I think. I was prompted in the app and asked if I wanted to do them. when I said yes they sent me an uber debit card. go to the main menu in the app and go to account/workhub and if there are new opportunities you can choose them there.

[@goldenretriever6261]

You need to wear a turban to do this job in Toronto

[@EddieBenitez3]

😝 👳‍♀️

[@nozomu5996]

I need to know the name of the bike and if you’ve done some upgrades to it and if yes what were those upgrades? Also did you apply with E-bike or a car but you’re using an E-bike instead? And how long did it take for you to get hired? And also do you lock your bike to a pole before going to get your orders?? I know it’s a lot of questions, I’m sorry, I really want to do this with an E-bike.

[@EddieBenitez3]

Delfast Prime 2.0 0 upgrades Applied with bike. E bike isn’t even an option for me. I dont have a car account I got hired in a week. I lock my bike when I have to and don’t when I don’t have to.

[@hyemuhyemu8221]

Does Uber in general feel a lot slower this month? Its been unusually dead this month

[@EddieBenitez3]

100% yes for me

[@notspeeddrivin]

Hey Eddie, Would you say it's worth it in 2023 to Uber Eats on an E-bike here in Chicago?

[@EddieBenitez3]

I would…only if you are using it a side gig. I don’t think you can fully use it as a full time gig at the moment. Things are moving a little slow.

[@Ausboss1]

How many miles on average do you say you ride your bike on a typical day?

[@EddieBenitez3]

honestly haven't been keeping track lately. going to start tracking that info moving forward. guessing im going to say 20-26 miles in the 3 to 4 hours im working. decent amount of battery left over usually.

[@Ausboss1]

@@EddieBenitez3 thanks! I’m thinking about getting an e-bike myself and am trying to judge how large a range I’ll actually need.

[@majordutch7570]

How much did you earn for that time?

[@EddieBenitez3]

not sure off the top but that info is in the last minute of the video.
