Hey Mike. Whattya hear whattya say on base pay for DD? According to their site, they don't adjust base pay based on customer tips, but I've got some empirical evidence that suggests otherwise. If you're interested, hit me up. Thanks for the work you do here.

[@SeanBrown23]

I’ve noticed in my sub zone that dashers with sub 90% completion rate have been getting less dashes, and I’ve been getting more. The dashers in this area are pretty tight knit and many of them have told me they’ve switched Uber eats.

[@jo3rdchannel940]

What is business miles?

[@Dazlidorne]

9:17 You know you can click on the items before you accept and it will show you what they are. That is really important for places like Lowe's where you want to know how big the items are before accepting.

[@brickfistpow3587]

My hourly for shop and pay is significantly worse than food delivery. There are too many things that can go wrong and cause a delay. The last order I did an employee told me all my items were out of stock when they weren't! They just didnt know where they were. A manager eventually helped me after wasting a lot of time 😢

[@YourDriverMike]

And all that extra asking takes more and more time

[@Dazlidorne]

As long as it isn't a ridiculous amount of items, I like shop and deliver. It's a nice change of pace and the dollars per mile are usually much better than regular deliveries. I had one yesterday that was almost $20 for a delivery less than a mile away! Yeah, it was around 30 items, but it was an Aldi and many of the items were multiple units. I think it took a total of 30 mins.

[@TimIsTravelingNow]

I love Shop & Deliver! Monday and Sunday I try to do only shopping orders across all of my 5 apps. Make more money, drive less miles. Just wish the stores had WiFi that worked…

[@YourDriverMike]

Nice glad it's working well!

[@MikeTalk]

The reason I like shop and deliver is you can build up the skill of doing it. After a while the shopping experience becomes easy and the earnings potential is higher than restaurant orders. I’ve learned how to be decisive in the handful of situations that come up. Plus I’ve been getting quadruple DoorDash stacks lately! I don’t think that’s possible with restaurant pickup orders. Go driver team!

[@YourDriverMike]

Glad it's working well for you!

[@stevewoodyt]

4:10 I do a good bit of shopping. It’s almost all at dollar general. For me it’s often quicker to shop than it is to wait at a restaurant for an order to be ready. The problem is dollar general has stock issues. DG customers generally won’t respond to messaging or calls which can be good or bad. My numbers aren’t as good as they should be. Over all for me shopping tends to pay a little bit better.

[@YourDriverMike]

I don't mind DG actually, pretty small store and easy enough to find items.

[@thecastleofenlightenment2604]

restraunt depo sucks to shop at. I only shopped there once because it was a $42 offer for 10 miles and 10 items

[@YourDriverMike]

It was exactly what I thought it was going to be lol, needs better item rack signage like IKEA with pictures and arrows on the specific shelves but I guess they're not really thinking about shopper speed per se

[@FeelinFroggy]

What I don't like about the shopping is if the store is out of something you refund it it hurts your % and then you will get less shopping orders. Sometimes the app won't recognize the barcode and you have to refund another % hit and less shopping orders .

[@YourDriverMike]

Sometimes if it doesn't recognize the item UPC you can try a UPC on the shelf

[@riggsvsoliver]

Shop is probs my favorite, I know like all local stores in and out

[@YourDriverMike]

Nice, speed is the name of the game. Do you limit shops to certain item counts or no?

[@StofleTheBadger]

⁠@@YourDriverMikeI try and set guidelines to my madness. For example nothing less than a dollar per item and no more than 10 miles unless it’s a larger offer like $40 and up. Also no shopping if it’s under $10 unless it’s like 3 items for $8 and within a few miles. I always take time and money into my decision making. I know my routes and stores in my area so that helps. I try and average $25-$30 an hour. The best advantage for shopping is it’s less driving in your car! Especially with all the bad drivers out there.

[@cranewolf6124]

Only take 9 items or less on shop. Sometimes few more if the pay is right. I love Spark because you get a road map on the app. Easy to find the groceries..

[@Eaglemadhatter]

I like shop and deliver but it can go bad quick and take twice as long as planned. My dog enjoys the stores too. ❤

[@YourDriverMike]

Yes when it's seamless it's fine but it only takes 1-2 out of stock items

[@mluterancik]

That shop n deliver sounds like a nightmare. They should compensate you if a bunch of items are out of stock.

[@jeremey9998]

I don't mind Shop and Deliver, I just won't take anything with a large amount of items unless the price is nice. Our last SnD was a quick 6 item, then an add on for 2 more items to another customer who was about a block and a half away from the first.

[@YourDriverMike]

[@stevefulton6531]

12:40 mark.. Yeah, can't start and dash your way to a zone on EBT. That was one of my first EBT experiments and it defaulted me back to EPO.

[@YourDriverMike]

Appreciate that!

[@stevefulton6531]

@YourDriverMike You're welcome! I have only been doing this for a few months. I'm a former programmer so playing "press buttons, see what happens" is compulsory.

[@kc_711]

I did 2 shop and delivers on GH today 1st time with GH. Made a total of $48+ for a total of 14 items. One was 4, and one was 10 items. I feel like GH pays more, but the orders are few and far between.

[@YourDriverMike]

Pretty much what I've seen, GH pays more with fewer offers

[@TheMark9013]

I feel like they will start punishing people for turning down orders

[@YourDriverMike]

I don't need any more AR based programs 😂

[@christophermatthews4896]

they do, they just stop giving you orders sometimes

[@jamied8598]

Haha they already do! Decline and wait for an hour for another offer.😊

[@TheMark9013]

I'm pretty new at it was wondering why I set forever 92% acceptance rate I turned down a few that were 2-4 bucks..... Waiting for 1 an hour makes sense

[@jamied8598]

@TheMark9013 get ready for a lot of stress and manipulation. I was a Top Dasher and Platinum Driver for 4 years and I have to say that 70% of those years were good. When they start sending you $3 offers at the height of the big order time, your acceptance rate will drop like a rock. I still have a 5.0 approval rate but get trash. Down to Silver. And I don't care anymore.

[@FortyTwoAnswerToEverything]

what i hate about shipt is that you have to go the extra step and do the whole tax exempt procedure... in publix, you have to have a supervisor come over. In lowes, it's easier but still have to manually enter the tax id for shipt on the screen.

[@YourDriverMike]

Thanks for sharing

[@williamhock5603]

fun tip for shop and delivers for deliveries.. keep some cashback coupons on your phone because you can use those receipts for some cashback rebates. I've actually done quite well in those kind of bonuses.

[@TheClubbinator]

Haven’t done shop & delivery and won’t ever do it. Takes too much time.

[@YourDriverMike]

Thanks for watching!

[@aarontomaselli4910]

Market District is a massive store in the Cleveland Suburbs. The rest of the stores from that corporation are just called Giant Eagle. Both stores use the same rewards card. Giant Eagle and MArket District are from PA. I just love how Doordah sends me an order when the store is about to close. I had to race against the clock on a Giant Eagle and an Aldi order and got it. I feel more relaxed when I get Meijer orders at night. The Cleveland market can get weird. I'm not a fan of working the East Side, but Halloween night paid like a slot machine. Personally, I prefer to work the West side of Cleveland, by the airport and the NASA Space Center. There is another DASHMART close to that location the most people are unaware of.

[@joshs9441]

I just got the photo one the other day, and yes, the only time I don't take a picture is when I hand it to the customer.

[@OvSykes985]

It does take more time, but in Chicago Shop and deliver pays much better than food delivery. I do 80% shop and deliver and 20% delivery from restaurants. I find Shop and deliver more relaxing and I don't have to worry about parking. I have learned not to accept orders with more than 20 items. But an order with one item is usually about $6 or $7 dollars, Orders of 10 items are between $10 and $20.

[@robertstaples955]

I don't do shop and deliver anymore. Took up to much time

[@YourDriverMike]

I don't blame you

[@mlmMorabito]

I dont do shop and deliver either ...not worth the headache, items not in stock crappy internet etc

[@Dazlidorne]

8:45 Isn't it amazing that the 5 minute timer feels like 15 mins? It's like watching a pot boil.

[@TammyMcDonald-bh4zw]

I have been trying to get a FREE pizza bag. Pizza Hut and Papa John's always say they have none! I went to MARCO'S PIZZA earlier and the GM gave me a DoorDash one. Super excited! See if you have one in your area. 😁

[@jeves360]

I don't mind shop and deliver, they pay well in my area,but definitely cherry pick them $2.5 to $3 per mile. I get orders for Sprouts and Aldis from the same customers at least once a week and they pay really well. Always look at the item list before declining high item orders. I've taken a few "high item" orders like 30 items, and when I look at the items, its like 10 Bananas, 5 tomatoes, 5 apples, and 10 random. Restaurant Depot is the worst. Did it once, never again, did pay well though

[@YourDriverMike]

Yeah never again for Restaurant Depot, took forever and had no idea where stuff was. Plus the pleasant freezing section 😂 I used to work at Walmart so I've been in frozen coolers before but we had jackets sitting outside

[@JR79511]

How about a video using grid wise or solo?

[@YourDriverMike]

I have several videos going over Solo's features. I'm partnering with them for some sponsored content. I've used Everlance as well, solid app with basic features. I haven't used Gridwise but I've heard good things.

[@scraft1222]

I've been out of the gig work economy for about a year now and have regular job now, but I remember picking out flower bouquets, picking out birthday cards, spending an hour on a shopping order and was so stressed when my phone battery died so when I charged it in my car for a few the half full basket of hard to find items was gone, had to start over, have to use logic to buy non freezer, refrigerated items last etc, I had over 5000 UBER food deliveries and not sure how many painful shopping orders, I do miss the freedom of UBERing sometimes, I enjoyed working till 3am ish kind of relaxing for me.

[@mikesveganlife4359]

I have yet to see a shop and deliver when on pay by hour

[@mtn7224]

Aldi’s is always out of stock of stuff. I hate shopping there

[@YourDriverMike]

It's been pretty decent here, I typically shop at two locations. At least they don't have tons of potential substitutions so you don't have to worry about 6 different alternatives.

[@jaydoobie5205]

Dont shop n deliver around my area in CT the first 2 weeks of the month... the checkouts lines are long and walmart always has about 4 registers open with like 12 registers closed. Smfh

[@Walmart]

Jeremy, let's further assist with any issues. Would you mind sending a DM, so we can look into this further for you?

[@joust182]

I finally turned off shop & deliver last week, it soaks up too much time. Also, speaking of boost pay, I saw a new drivers map and it is full of boost pay while my map had none. I guess DD doesn't care if they screw veteran drivers just as long as new driver get all the love.

Yes an uber eats 100% ar session! I' ll eager you get at least 2 20+ mile trips. 😂

[@YourDriverMike]

It'll definitely happen, stay tuned

[@mluterancik]

I average 25 plus an hour cherry picking. I'll never buy into taking horrible orders. Gas and wear and tear in your vehicle is worth at least 2.50 per mile. They should just say that if you don't tip, your order can take way longer to deliver as a driver has to accept your order.

[@zach9676]

Lmao. Do 100 percent AR on uber eats. You’ll get 10 $3 orders before you get a good one

I hope you can explain to us how to appeal to reactivate the account after it has been banned from Amazon Flex. In the event of a violation being committed and this violation was not intentional, such as using external sources.And the like, and this violation was the first violation you committed, and as a result of this violation, your account was banned.The company did not accept your appeal or give you another chance to continue working.

[@YourDriverMike]

I feel like Amazon is very tough on reprimands, I've heard the same from their warehouse workers. Reactivations are tough on any app, I would continue to reach out to support, present evidence for reactivation and politely ask for escalation if needed.

[@mejiabrandin]

$18 in 30 minutes and if it's in California you get a pay estimate so even more money That's good

[@MockingjayYT]

I was offered $2.25 for 9.4 miles earlier today in South Pittsburgh area. SMH C'mon DoorDash, you can do better!

[@zarbon700]

Why should they do better? Someone will soon accept it.

[@MockingjayYT]

@zarbon700 you're absolutely right. And until most dashers get together and refuse it (which will never happen) it will always continue. This is all extra play money for me so I can afford to cherry pick and strictly only accept $2 per mile minimum.

[@YourDriverMike]

Wild that someone would take that you know

Frankly I prefer shop and deliver on 15 items or less. Usually takes me 10 min or less. Half my food deliveries I'm waiting that long.

[@mysticvirgo9318]

I find that the number of delivery runs is a hard limit on how many can be completed. 18 minutes to shop then another 18 to 30 minutes to deliver .. most i can see being done per hour is 2 shop and deliver. Dont see any profits made taking everything

[@YourDriverMike]

Exactly, the drive time, the shop time, the delivery time. It can take a LOT longer

[@ChadJAndersonFish]

I get that missing drop off photos msg, its wrong thats for sure. I always take pics if i am dropping off the order. Taking all orders is never a good strat but nobody claims it is. I wanna see a comparison of cherry picking vs platinum dashing keeping a +70 AR, which is what i believe is the best strat. I get some monster orders as a plat dasher and it more than makes up for the slightly bad orders i take to maintain 70%. I get orders with $40 to $70 payouts pretty frequently.

[@YourDriverMike]

Good to hear you're seeing a higher margin on Platinum

There is a dizzying variety of sizes snd varieties of so much stuff that it takes forever sometimes, and you get docked if you don’t find the exact item. I’ll be very slow to take these orders unless I’m dashing on time. Dollar General is the worst….understaffed and disorganized. A dozen kinds of Cheetos?

I don't like shop and deliver either that's why I haven't signed on for because I'm sure it would take too much time away from dashing.

Just getting into the idea of this. Thanks for your viideos. I am in my late 50's, a Systems Administrator by trade. But I cant find a job in my trade. IT is VERY age biased, even yhough it is illegal. (But how do you prove it?). This is the downside of forcing companies to provide insurance... Old guys have knee problems, kidney trouble, bad backs, the list is endless. Like any product, the more you use it, the more it costs Companies have become so greedy, that they wont hotee 50 plus... Again, the downside of national insurance mandates and the spiraling cost of healthcare- 50 plus cant buy a job ...
