How you doing Mike do I need to contact the costumer if am late like 5 minutes

[@Trump2024-w4j]

I love Spark. Currently doing spark in North Louisiana. I make between $1200-$1500 weekly working 6 days. It's all perks to it. My favorite is being able to set my own schedule. I wanted to get away from over the road trucking but I wanted something similar to trucking like being my own boss and working off to myself. Spark fits me perfect. I'm very happy I now get to go to the gym every morning and I'm home every night sleeping my own bed not in the back of a semi truck

[@cadenjowers]

You make that weekly? How is that even possible

[@thedorcys]

[@evanasddf6946]

Your experience with Spark is far different than mine. I just go to the local grocery only neighborhood Walmart 1.5 miles from my house. I receive offers when I'm home. Did four deliveries today, two shop and deliver, two curbside pickup for 32.09, 34.95, 22.95, 17.30. 31 total miles driven less than 3 hours of time spent waiting at curbside / shopping / delivering. Pretty typical day. For me it is absolutely the best time to $$$.

[@davniksboxers]

This is what it is like for me also. I did one delivery today for a shop and deliver, 40 items, 13 miles for $68. I make most of my money with shop and deliver for $30 and up. Very happy with spark in my area.

[@cruisinwithcorey]

I agree. And the shops he took I would never take. Apparel shops are an instant pass unless the tip is good and it’s not multiple items. The shops he took too were also low to no tip based on the pay. Spark is certainly not a filler app for me. It’s my main app, and I fill the dead time in with food delivery or shipt/IC.

[@maxi-me]

His offers have all the early symptoms of a once lucrative zone that has been "discovered" and is about to be fully invaded. Only a matter of time. Spark was once my main app as well but now offers nothing more than single digit leftovers in my sadly blighted zone......

[@stevedavenport1202]

Ultimately, it depends upon your zone. Some Walmarts generate great orders all day long.

[@maxi-me]

@@stevedavenport1202 If they don't address this soon, there won't _be_ a "depends". When the cheaters over-saturate, they just fan out. I changed stores and eventually zones but to no avail. My last hope, a small-town store 35 miles outside of our HUGE metro has now fallen prey to temp taggers. I received only 5 offers in January, all curbside scraps.

[@kimberlyrieck3736]

Being a former Walmart employee is a perk especially when looking at the modules. In fact I've gotten a little annoyed because I probably could have shopped more efficiently if I didn't have to follow how they wanted me to shop.

[@crystaldisbrow]

Spark has become my main gig now. My experience has been great, I regularly get $30 plus orders.

[@BeatNovakane]

Like how many orders you do in a day? And are your destinations usually far?

[@crystaldisbrow]

@@BeatNovakane well it really just depends on the day. I don’t do it regularly, but I feel like I could if needed. Right now it’s just a weekend thing and my husband and I do it together, so that does help the process. We did 11 yesterday, 8 were shops. I try not to take anything over 10 miles. We are in a slightly rural area though, so it’s kind of expected to have long distances. But I would say most of the deliveries are within 2 miles.

[@shelbycarter3836]

I only have two Walmarts and a Sam’s in my area. I’ve been doing it for about a year and I DoorDash too. I never have to wait at Sam’s or the two Walmarts. I figured out a way to make it work even though it’s kind of shady. The guys have been usually the same guys that load my car every day and they know my car and they know me I get out of the car and I cut up with them and talk to them and other cars looked at me like how did she get her stuff first. I’ve even got one guy that I raise the hatch up on my van he puts the stuff in the back while we talk and he comes around and puts the orange and white stickers on my steering wheel for me.

[@wade8315]

The thing that sucks the customer tip baits because they have 24 hours to change tip amount

[@itsjustaname7721]

I like the multiple stops, by my experience they are all seeled packages usually light loads. I enjoy them 🤷

[@arresthillary9502]

and non perishable so you can drop some food orders in there from UE or DD while ya doing the route. no time limit

[@winterwolf0186]

Yep, last time I did this I had over 19 stops and made almost $60 but dang felt like I was a fedex driver and got to one of my last few stops almost getting down this one mf had cash of money that said Walmart receiving or Walmart something and had me thinking this person called it in being late or they wanted to cancel but obviously still delivered it and they might had gotten something free but idk still got paid lol

[@Keith-dn9pf]

must be a good hustle, i tried to sign up to drive for Spark and it said my area is full and not accepting applicant drivers, to try back at a later date. Logically it makes sense in knowing you are likely to make more money in tips for bringing someone 10 bags of groceries for a delivery compared to the Doordasher whos only delivering a sandwich and fries.

[@OKslotsoffun]

We don't have to use any special bags. I work in the hometown of WalMart. The Walmart headquarters are across the street from one of the Supercenters. The zone I'm in has 10 different stores within about a 10 mile radius. There's a store on every corner! lol And it's a "company" town so there aren't really any other grocery stores except 1 Aldi, so everyone buys from Walmart. Keeps me busy for sure.

[@gabrielrodriguez1695]

Spark was great! Super great! Till about new years…since then, there’s been a huge over saturation of drivers, and orders are quick to disappear when offered…..ALSO, in my market, Walmart is giving the grocery pick ups to UberEats still to avoid paying any kind of incentives

[@ScottH.]

Shopping isn't too bad but I try to avoid orders that have clothes. It's always a nightmare trying to find clothes even if they tell ya exactly where they're supposed to be. We don't have the special Spark bags here in MA. Also, the 19 item deliveries are so worth it. They're usually always close to 60 bucks and take less than 2 hours.

[@newsforus9254]

I started last Friday after 7mo long approval & of course my 1st order was shopping for 4 large cases of water but at least dropoff was simple at house with driveway close to front door. So far, I like working Spark over UE & DD.

[@theeabo]

I wish they had those bags here, that makes the presentation look nice. Spark is so good I love it so much, it is kinda of harder finding the clothing but once you get use to doing it, it's not that bad. I prefer shopping for customers because curbside takes to long or they forget things.

[@dawsonkeeble9169]

I work with spark ⚡️ it is a good side hustle for a good day of work! Only thing I have been hearing when doing curbside pickup Walmart employees told me there talking about getting rid of spark completely and hire the drivers to work under them at the location!?

[@kylaanthony6380]

only reason i don’t believe this is because there’s way too many customers! you need the side app to help deliver customer ordefs

[@GreenCobrasGaming]

Of all the gig apps I say Spark treats me the worse. Had multiple times where I am waiting 20 mins on a schedule curbside pickup. There times Walmart cancels a high paying order right before I arrive to pick up an order. And Walmart refuses to pay me a dime despite already wasting 10+ mins driving. Gone back a forth like 5 times with Walmart support in email form about this and they refuse to pay me because of a glitch. And there also been times they paid me under $3 when an order gets canceled after waiting 20 mins at the store. And a majority of the offers pay dog crap without tipping. And they allow customers to remove tip for any reason within 24 hours. BS. Yes, there are times nothing goes wrong but when it does it is very stressful. As Walmart refuses to pay us for our time.

[@tatajohnnyrosado2427]

Yes, you are correct yesterday. I left for an hour and a half waiting to see if I get a decent order and nothing was coming in. Everything was for 12 miles eight dollars pick up three stops for eight dollars going 10 miles. It is really really bad and you are correct we used to enjoy working on this platform but right now yes it’s not looking good

[@DivinelyLyra]

They’re hiring like crazy here in Georgia so I had to do my research. See if it’s worth it. I can’t get a job and I’m a full time mommy of one. I need something that would work with my schedule.

[@daishi1617]

Spark is much better than doordash in my area and the shopping orders are the best ones. If pickup takes forever you wont make it back in time to get another offer the next hour and lose out. But i also work in a slower area so the chance of getting another offer immediately is less.

[@SEPARailfan]

Those 15-30 stop runs are pretty much identical to Flex. Only difference being is the fact they might throw some random bulky item in there. Other than that those runs are package delivery. I’ve done a couple. Other than the occasion bulky item, they’re not terrible if the payout makes sense. Especially if it’s slow

[@kanita0958]

I love to do these 😂 specially because most of them are unattended deliveries 👍😁

[@elmamctiller3926]

I did one yesterday with 17 drop offs and spark totally lied. Said it would take 1.5 hours. It took me 2.5 hours and it was in the morning with less traffic and I did a good speed. I didn’t like all them stops. Lol

[@MajinJustin872]

Glad to see someone else from PA and close to where I live so now I can get a more accurate reading of what it’ll be like for me

[@Travis37.5]

Spark is my favorite app. I make more on there than DoorDash. I could write a novel but I’ll keep this short…I’ll do shop orders with 50 items if the pay is good but I hate having to find clothes too lol. That is interesting you have to go get different bags, none of my wal Marts have that. In my market curbside offers go out at 20-40 after, and pick up is usually 45 after the hour (I noticed yours was). So if you want offers stay close to the store(s) then. Ideally take a short doordash or something in the downtime.

[@deninedietrich844]

Yes, same in my area

[@whiplash5643]

I work for Walmart pick-up and the process is to have orders picked 2 hours ahead of time. If it's not, then they are behind. Also for clothing, just look at color, size and last 3 digits of UPC to find them faster.

[@Jaggerbush]

West Mifflin Wal-Mart - god i love this channel. I work from home and live on Western Ave so i never drive but i always like warching you drive around these neighborhoods. In worked at Century III Mall at Merry Go Round when I was a kid.

[@zachfutv9986]

For clothes I would immediately grab a worker to help me to minimize my time trying to find the item instead of fumbling around myself.

[@WimDog99]

If you multi-app Spark can mess you up, especially if you're close to a Walmart. Many times they post the arrival times 15 or 20 minutes out, and they absolutely will not let you arrive early. Not only do you lose the time up front, but if they are late with the order you lose more time. Last week I burned 35 minutes this way. A notice came through on the app that they were going to compensate me for the long wait time, and I am still trying to figure out how much it is...the earnings section of the app is another story....

[@a.j.casper8873]

[@jtkemp3220]

It comes down to how they are assigned if pushed. If they are surge, who grabs them first. I am a driver in WV and there are 3 drivers who decline all shops, which then move down the line

[@Therealgeezuz562]

Shop and deliver orders are the way to go with spark. The wait times once you get to the stores for curbside pick up can sometimes be extremely long. The 10+ stop deliveries are a colossal waste of time. The pay looks nice on paper but you will be taken way out of your zone. You can make the same amount of money with 2 to 3 good shop and deliver orders.

[@HonestyOverEverything]

What if you take a 10+ order and then take orders at the closest Walmart to your last stop? That could be worth it.

[@Ammut6]

They always say if you want it done right do it yourself! 😅

[@elmamctiller3926]

Yes, those colossal orders are ridiculous. I did one yesterday. $45 for 30 miles with 17 drop offs. Never again.

[@TmaEbq1983]

it also depends on the market. new york california and a few more states all of the gig apps pay for a 40 hours work week. if they don't make the money equal to 40 hours the company will give the difference, but not all states do that.

[@christinamiller5753]

Is mileage really $1.18 a mile reimbursement right now?!

[@fighterofevil]

there is only one walmart in my area. it actualy ends up being more consistent and better for me than doordash, uber eats, and instacart. and i only do curbside.

[@curtiswilliams7479]

The 19 something stop trip with 30. Something miles of driving that pays almost 60 bucks is not bad if you think about it. I've done plenty of those big batch orders. Sometimes two of those are at the same address. You don't have to move and you end up completing it in way less than an hour and 59 minutes. And it's only 30 something miles of driving. So you're basically getting 45$ every 45 min if you can do it an hour and a half

[@ESotocollections25]

I have a Walmart 5 minutes away and they send me offers from 30 minute away store 70% of the time

[@richardr7947]

I am thinking about this. I have 2 walmarts close to me. one is 5 minutes away other is 10 minutes away.

[@0ptimal]

Not really feasible thing for me to do but i really love the way these sorts of things are developing. Its almost gamifying work/earning money. Downside is such a thing becomes quickly saturated. We'll see.

[@Nevooo.]

my biggest question would be, when you’re doing this during the day, what happens when like you said, you get a decent order, 10-15 bucks for 5 miles, but you have to wait in a unimaginably long line to get to self checkout. My Walmarts have mind bogglingly long lines.

[@LLStacheLarry]

I haven't done the shop and deliever yet. For some reason been to nervous to do it. For curb side we have normanly 3 drop offs. I am in Erie pa.

[@speakteachtravel]

This video is extremely helpful

[@Anthonyk747]

A lot of comments for dollar per mile and dollar per hour kill me. Here's what I do: How many hours are you working per day and how much are you making for the entire day? Then, subtract the amount for Gas and you can budget accordingly for Maintenance and Repairs. In my area, there are 2 primary Walmarts. One Walmart has a ton of orders, but a low staff means an average wait time of 2 hours per order (after you've accepted it as a driver). So, that Walmart is ignored, whereas the 2nd, main Walmart rarely gets orders but every single order is ready to go at the designated pick up time. So, sometimes, I will go 1-3 hours with no orders at all while still being "available" in the app with Sparking turned on. I've realized that it's smarter to walk around in the Walmart to get my steps in during this wait time and it helps keep my sanity intact. But if you took an $8 order for 12 miles round trip with a gas mileage of 22 MPG City on $3/gallon of Regular gas, then you're making money for that hour, rather than making no money for that hour by receiving no orders. I'm averaging $100/day (after gas) during this slow season and did $120-$160/day (after gas) in Q4 2023. I work weekends only (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) and work from 8:30 AM to 5 PM. Here's the thing: Each Walmart Spark is run by a different manager for that department. Each manager is the one that dictates whether you receive ASAP Curbside, ASAP/Express Shopping and Deliver, or Regular Versions of Each. In this video, your Walmart Department Manager for that particular store wanted you to receive Regular Shopping and Delivery Orders. This is smart if they have Low Staff available that are not able to handle the 'picks' as they call them ('pickers' are the ones doing the shopping with multiple orders on a large cart in the store). What you seemed to miss in this video was a couple of the 'sweet spots' orders that you can take. 1) Yes. I would take the 15-20 Item Trips in a heartbeat! Why? They're all package deliveries! You're practically the mail man!! Seriously! Think about it. Shipping a package costs $4.13 via USPS Ground Advantage for a 1 oz Package! Instead, Walmart pays you $2 for a 1 Oz package to be delivered! So, Walmart saves money. Now, the downside is that these orders do not allow Tips; however, I do receive cash, in-person tips approximately 5% of the time with these package deliveries. The other downside is the packages vary in weight, size, amount, and have to be sorted by Scan labels to ensure faster delivery. In addition, GPS Screw ups are quite common and your job is more difficult because the Postal Worker only has to take the package to the Mailbox which is at the end of the road - you, on the other hand, have to deliver directly to the customer's house, which usually does not have House Numbers on their House or a Post on their driveway/front porch. 2) You missed the small grocery orders that are 20-50 items and you seem to misunderstand the bags ratio and bags being counted as an item. So, there's Items, Quantity, and Bags. In a 20 item order, there may be 50 Quantity. 20 of the 50 Quantity are most likely Bags. When you click the actual section that details this, it shows you a break down of each item PRIOR to accepting the order!!! You will actually see: "Bags (18), 2 Liter Mountain Dew (3), 12-Pack of 16.9 Fl Oz Dr. Pepper (1)" etc. These particular orders are sweet spots because you can get multiple items of the same item. So, grabbing (6) 2-Liter Bottles of the same brand and type on the same Aisle will be significantly faster than grabbing 6 items on 6 different aisles! 3) Express Shopping and Delivery and ASAP Curbside Pickups have a tendency to pay better than the Regular Deliveries. For Regular Deliveries, the customer doesn't mind waiting, but YOU DO! Why? Because you make less per hour! So, you can get to Shop and/or Pickup faster and get paid MORE money!? That's a win-win! In addition, sometimes, I get an in-person cash tip from these deliveries if I deliver within 30 min to 1 hour of the initial acceptance of the delivery! They are genuinely happy that you sped up your shopping and took care of them.

[@JR-mu6if]

Drivers need to take into account when accepting a delivery the mileage they are going to drive for that one delivery or bundles of deliveries add Sparks loves to bundle a whole bunch of deliveries together. They have to keep in mind that if they are driving 20 miles for a bundle of deliveries that pays $25 for example for the entire bundle of deliveries, the true mileage is going to be 40 me because you have to take into account that you have to come back to get another one. That puts you at about 60 cents a mile that will have to cover your gas and your wear and tear on your vehicle. Most of the time is better to take a delivery that only pays $10 but you only drive three or four miles away which would make it a 6 or 8 Mile round trip. You spend less gas so in the long run you make more money

Do you have available video for taxes part am getting confuse how to take the takes out before I depoist money to my bank

[@kennystrawnmusic]

At least I have the luxury of having 4 Walmarts in my Spark zone which gets rid of many of the yo-yo-ing you’re talking about, but wait times still suck in many cases.

[@saucegotti9416]

I live like 2 miles away from Walmart and across the street is a Sam’s club. Should I do spark ?

[@Domesticated_house_goblin]

I’m 1 mile from Walmart in a rural area, I just wait at home for my first order🫶🏼

[@stevezelen4651]

Why aren’t all deliveries pick up only? What is the difference between shop and deliver and pick up and deliver? Besides the obvious… is the customer charged differently? New to the channel and gig work. Thanks in advance.

[@crystaldisbrow]

If the store is getting more orders than they have staff to shop then they need to outsource it.

[@surfguy777]

​@@crystaldisbrowmakes sense but do you get paid more? Walmart would be paying an employee to pull the order.

[@crystaldisbrow]

Yes, the base pay is higher for the shop orders, and in my experience, the tip is usually higher as well.@@surfguy777

[@deninedietrich844]

Shopping pays more, generally, than curbside

We don’t get very much money on the big batch order (19 stops) and miles are high, so here it doesn’t make sense to take those

Cant get a spark order to save my life. Any tips? Only orders that come in are crappy ones at the end of the day that no one wanted. Please help.

[@HonestyOverEverything]

Try driving around to different zones and try different stores. Also early in the morning or after 5pm seems to help. And keep your app in the trips section and watch the screen, because by the time it notifies you, someone else will take the order.

[@calir4849]

@twincitydezray Thanks I'll try just that.

go the store, walk inside and switch your phone tothe walmart wifi network. they get hit first on the walmart network

My car gets great gas mileage. I dont mind the multiple stops. I dont like dealing with sams. They take too long to bring stuff out, and i don't like shopping. Also in my area i have multiple places i can get hits from. 2 super store wal marts, 1 sams 2 groceries only wal marts and a few other buisnesses that use spark so im rarely doing much dead head driving

[@jscl3767]

Instead of having multiple offers I'm only shown one offer at time and I must wait for the offer to expire to see the next is is anyone else experiencing this

[@TmaEbq1983]

do you uys see lets say around 6 hispanic drivers that are taking over 3 orders an hour, or you see them come back within 20 mins and park in the pickup stall and wait for 30 to 40 mins to grab the next order? and you don't see an order for more than 3 hours. but you see the same drivers getting over 3 orders within an hour? if you see those drivers getting more offers then you, and if they are making over $1000 a week, that means that they have an app that grabs all the great offers. i've seen it in my area. i took a month vacation, when i came back i saw 6 or so new drivers. they all had 2 cell phones, and they where the only ones going in and out of walmart with offers. i used to deliver to regular walmart customers that tip great and didn't drive far either. i have not seen a single delivery from those customers since i came back from vacation. i am left with offers that are under $10 and a lot of miles. the only time i get good offers is when those drivers are not there.

Can someone help me, I have called Spark Customer service and have not received any help. I'm a new Spark Driver, I'm also on Social Security Disability. With that being said if you work any job. Social Security Administration needs information of your employer to add to their system and to keep up with my earnings. I can on make so much at a job. With being on disability , Social Security needs the physical address of Spark delivery. Does anyone know or is it. The Walmart that you pick up your deliveries? If I don't get this information I will no longer be able to deliver for Spark

[@craigcunningham66]

If I may ask, what went wrong with Spark? I've only been using it for a couple months. Can they randomly deactivate you or was there an issue? Sorry for getting personal, just curious.

[@jjreyes2017]

Yeah apparel sucks never want those. Out of stock or impossible to find. So irritating. I prefer curbside and I don't mind the multiple stops but the pay isn't as good. They always send me far away for at least one or two.

I don't see how people make money with these gigs. He made $41 and what 3-4 hours doing this. Now got to pay taxes and wear and tear on your car not worth it. You can make more money just working at walmart and keeping all the miles off your car.

[@tranquilityharmony8759]

Sometimes multi stop orders come in, and they expect you to do 5 or 6 stops drive 30 miles and the pay is only 24 dollars and hardly no one is tipping. It's ridiculous

Our Walmart does not require us to use certain bags

[@xenic0770]

I live in a zone with 6 Walmarts and none of them give bags to the shoppers any more. On top of that, in NJ plastic bags were banned. Also just to point out, the shop and delivers are way more profitable. You don't have to wait on them to bring them out and usually don't have a set pick up time.

[@stuartwayne5626]

Walmart plastic bags suck. They are too small and flimsy. Hopefully we get those Spark only bags in KC soon.
