Thanks for the tips on shipping orders. I usually avoid shop and pays because I usually run into some kind of issue.

You are welcome Ellen. I get frustrated when the customer doesn’t respond but overall I am happy with the low count orders. The customer just wants their stuff as easily as possible. Instacart is for more regular shoppers. Russ

I prefer to reject nearly all alcohol orders, because these customers are most often disrespectful.

@@Mob_Barbiee That's true, they don't support drivers. Pay is all that matters. To this day I get shop and pay orders but they aren't in the volume like on Instacart. I'll do them if they are low item count. Russ

I rarely do any kind of shopping because I do deliveries on an electric scooter during the summer. I only do them if there are less than 10 items.

Hi Jeffrey, in that case you shouldn't do something you dislike! Sometimes I like to be out of the car and in the store shopping but I also always know that it's much easier for the shopping to be done and I'll I'm doing is taking groceries or a package to the customer.....very quick. Thank you for sharing that! Russ

Thank you so much! You inspire me to excellence. Be sure to take a shop and pay order and feel that exhilaration too.

Got a notice about 2 months back from uber eats regarding shop and pay. our completion rating is based on customer satisfaction, which in turn is based on how much of the order is fulfilled. And we are being held responsible for whatever the store screws up. So if the customer is pissed that the store is out of items that were promised and replacements aren't good, cost more or unavailable, well we get crapped on instead of the store.. SO I'm not doing shop and pay, until Uber eats changes that policy.

That is soooo bad!

i believe it depends on the merchant. some merchants update their inventory, and some don't. I always take target orders. and never accept walgreens. central florida.

@@wiredin4u Once you accept a shop and pay order Uber knows you are going to need the card so they will load the right amount of money on it for you to be able to check out. Thank you for asking about that! Russ

Shop & Pay orders are my most favourite type of orders to take. However, UberEats is a side gig for me so I cherry pick the orders. If Uber says that it will take an hour - then I will not take it for anything less than minimum wage. This leads to A LOT of declining but then it tweaks the algorithm to start offering me the higher offers more often than the garbage orders. I barely take alcohol delivery near me because it's a $3 base bay and most of the time there is barely a tip if any. I never take regular orders that low so why would I want the hassle of the extra ID scanning etc. High item counts aren't always as bad as it looks at first.. Sometimes, it's multiples of the same item like 5 bananas or 2 of this & 2 of that. If you have a regular grocery store that you know well - it goes by sooooo fast....

This is great insight, thank you! Daryl Delivers also gets really great UberEats offers because he only accepts great orders. Makes me think about taking low paying orders of any kind. “They” will just send more to me. When I stop accepting every order as my “experiment” then I should do the same. In California we do earn “extra” money from a law prop 22 which entices me to take any order. Thank you for making me think more about this! Russ

I wish i had seen this video before i took my first shop and pay order my phone had low battery all the bar codes weren't scanning properly and there was fruits and vegetables that had a count i wasn't sure if it was per kg or per piece of fruit i had to call support to find out they told me i had to contact the customer and they weren't replying. Then the store was out of stock of one item so i choose a replacement and the bar code wouldnt scan so i had to just say i couldnt find the replacement and my phone died so i had to pay with my own money instead of the uber plus card. Then i recieved a stern message from uber saying you can't use credit cards with rewards points for shop and pay.

Oh Adam, you experienced many brutal things all in one order. I was grateful I had Instacart experience before so it wasn’t as exasperating. I still get a lot of times in scans but says wrong item even though it is clearly the right item. They have made improvements since this video but overall I think low item count shop and pays are best (for the right pay of course). I feel for you! Russ

What happens if when u get to the house and they don’t have proper ID for you to scan?

@TheRussRyde

Ай бұрын

Then you have to take the item back to the store and return in. So far that would be alcohol and medication. Never scan your own ID to “get by”. I may have done that one time and UberEats sent me a stern email to not do that or get deactivated. Back in the day we could manually enter the date of birth and name…..so oh well! Keep in mind the customer is a responsible adult. I would think finding a misplaced ID would be more important than placing an order on UberEats. Russ

I will just do alcohol orders only.
