I dont mind apartments, they just have to know how to give fucking directions

When it’s dark out and you have to find the building number

apartments slow us down , and most are very confusing to find the right number , please tip extra if you live in apartments

I avoid apartment and colleges

Thank you I thought I was the only one that hated apartments. I'm tired of not having gate codes and complicated layouts.

The worse is the high rise they be on the 42 floor no where to park and tell us to leave at door 🤦🏾‍♀️

Delivering to apartments sucks but let's be honest if it's a good delivery offer I'm going to take it. It's not like every delivery can be to someone's front door. Interesting info though.

Apartments and hospitals are the worst

Yeah apartments are the worst. It was a couple of times I couldn't find my way contacted the customer and they gave me a bad rating for not being able to find where they live in apartment complex. 😑

You can't zoom with Uber Eats.

Worse ones for me are apts hiding in dark corners and also dealing with downtown condos where parking is a big no and you have no choice but to illegal park.

This really works. Thanks! Been using it today and also taking screen shots of the ones I passed on and looking them up after and it is accurate. Only house deliveries for me today so far. Thanks again

That’s smart as shit. I always zoom in but never thought about that. I hate apartments lol.

Why don’t they just meet outside easier for both parties and safer.

Awesome thank you so much cause I truly try to avoid apartments

I've just memorized the locations and addresses of the worst apartments in my area. Once you learn how a complex is set up, they can be just as fast as a home drop off. The big issue for me is the ones that require a code to get in, or the massive ones with key card elevators and you have to use a parking garage.

I'm a dasher....and you speak truth.....give me a house any day. Apartment buildings may need codes to get in. Or may be long walks. I'm in my 70's with lots of health related problems....

If they would only give us the stinking gate code!! I can't jump the fence, been asked to🙄🤣🤪😤

Am I the only that comes out to the road to pick up my food instead of them trying to find my unit? People are so lazy

It’s always that eight dollar order that’s only two minutes away, and they live on the third floor, what’s the point.

Alot of people in apartment complexs act is if they don't want to be found. Same goes for people in homes where they don't have the address on their home. Also they never answer text message or phone calls to coordinate meeting place.

tbh they alright but sometimes some goes wrong i juz hate going to the university and colleges😂🤦🏽‍♂️

If only GH DD & UE would use the same gps system like Amazon flex as far as finding the correct building and unit # it would make the job 80% less stressful!

OMG!!!!!!! Thank you I don't feel like this alone...😉

I don't even mind 3rd floor deliveries but it seems that apartments in my area are not in a numerical order. And the numbers on the building are small and not lit at night. It really SUCKS at night.. I hate the number system of apartments.

The only good apartments are the ones with a big map sign at the entrance of the complex. It really helps me quickly deliver.

I think it's okay unless they don't include their unit number. I'll make sure to pay attention for a complete address.

I lived in an apartment. The gps often took the door dash person to another side of the city. I had to often message the driver directly to arrange a place to meet so I could get my food. Thankfully I had a distinct appearance, but honestly using doordash as someone who lives in complexes was sometimes a hassle cause of all the confusion.

I will not do apartment complexes it just too complicated

OMG I’ve found my people!!!

Thanks for sharing this tip, FYI ubereats does not allow zoom in

I could not get pass the front gate. I asked a resident who lived there for help and she said “I don’t have time to help you because I’m running late for work.” When she left out of the gate I drove my car in through the exit gate to make my delivery. As luck would have it, I came back the next day for another delivery and this same woman car would not start. She needed a jump off. I don’t need to tell y’all, but all of a sudden I didn’t have time. This woman didn’t even remember me but I reminded her of her words.

I’ve been doing this for awhile. I hate delivering to apartment complexes. I basically stick to businesses or single family homes.

The worst complexes are those new suburban apartments with underground parking or have a parking garage located inside the building. Then it's a code just to get into the apartment and you literally walk FOREVER to get to the correct door. No thank you. I'm fine with pre-2010 apartment buildings in the suburbs. I usually can navigate those pretty quickly. But not these new apartments with all enclosures and codes.

All I do is deliver to apartment complexes, even though I live in an affluent area. Most young people who use these apps can't afford a house. In some markets, there is just no avoiding it. 🤷‍♂️

I hate apts and they rarely tip. I tried this and the pin was right over the building which i thought was a large house so i took it and it was dam apts!!!

Uber eats deliver to my apt.,with clear and precise directions,EVERY time even at night.Thank you Uber Eats😊😊😎

I Swear, I Thought I Was The Only One Who Felt This Way. 🤣🤦🏾‍♂️💯

I feel you! I wish they had the customer required in the app to leave the building number and also what floor it’s on in the notes/address. Gate code I understand some don’t want to leave it.

Idk why people don't put directions in the notes. Literally let's your food get colder by not doing it lol

Hospitals is what I hate. There are 2 main hospitals in my area one has a small free parking lot that is an uphill hike to the actual building. The lot is pretty much full at least 90% of the time. I drop em off at the front desk. The other hospital does not have any free parking luckily I've never had an order there.

Not always true nowadays. I never rely on the pin anyway because so often it’s hella wrong

during daylight hours no problem it after dark that cheeses me 😖

Absolutely 💯💯💯

I used to hate delivering to apartments, especially when they forget to give you the gate code access, or the units were so damn big and spread apart it took forever finding the correct apartment door.

I dont like apartments, but I will do it if the pay is good!!

True spare no feelings.. bs is bs

I hate the ones where the customer wants you to drop it off at the front desk and they live in a high rise where there is no parking on the street. I try to avoid downtown atlanta because of this.

The worst is when they leave instructions for a different way and you read a whole paragraph of directions only for it to be a waste of your time

A lot of the apartment buildings where I live, have their own street number. Which makes it easy!

If I didn't deliver to apartment complexes I wouldnt make a thing, they are about 75% of deliveries in my area

Apartments for me have been okay. I just don't understand the apartment people that mark the order as "Drop off at my door" and their building has an entry door with a security feature on it without any other instructions. Here lemme try to infiltrate your building and then i can drop it off. I usually need to call/text them to clarify what they'd like me to do.

Cat making sure it’s owner food makes it home

When it dark and no lights at all nothing has numbers. Then no tip. Those of you who live in apartments who know this that come meet me. Thank you.

This is whybu don't do doordash downtown...go to a suburb and u will be delivering to houses all day lol

I can feel someone saying this is ableist and against people who don’t live in normal housing and they will become a protected class lmao

Yep. And the worst ones are when you need a code to call them and let you in. Takes for fkn ever!

Leave at my door? No clear instruction. Food gets cold while looking for their apt #. Time being wasted then customer will hit that review section and customer gave us low ratings. WOW!!

Location location location! If you're around a bunch of high-rises that suck and for parking too I bet. The max set of steps I ever went up was 3, and they're always front facing with a parking lot

THIS IS SOOOO FACTSSSS😂

Bruh my issue is the people never look at the building number. My deliveries always go to the next building because only one number is different. But no one ever looks to see if they are in the correct one.

And the most annoying customer are the one who doesn't answer text or phone calls

its a nightmare sometimes. yes its the way the blds are numbered and smtimes its the gps on app that messes up n sometimes its the customer but ill never get why these ppl dont make the delivery drivers life easier by just walking down the stairs and wave us down n grab your food. fortunately a few ppl have done this instead of sitting there waiting MORE TIME for their food while im going crazy looking for the apartment. I run outside n wave them down when i place an order cuz i get it.

I just tell them they need to meet me in the parking lot. Especially when i deliver to mutli story buildings or office buildings that want you to come all the way up to their floor. If not I tell them I will leave it in the lobby. Because most of the time they are bad tippers and they are already taking enough of my time as is. And I have over 5000 deliveries on door dash with a rating of 9.8

most of the buildings in my city are apartments so i gotta get used to it

I guess they made these apartments COMPLEX to find

Most of them doesn’t tip after you deliver thank will no put gasoline in your car.

Bro the fact that allot of these apartments have a parking lot with a roof that blocks the building numbers 💀 always have to bend my head to my knees to see them numbers 💀

This is got to be really frustrating, I usually try to wave at driver if it's their first time for my unit.

Most money comes from apts. it’s not as easy for them to go out and back like a house person can. Low key hate apt runs but that’s mostly what I get. Good exercise though

Awesome thanks!

I don't understand why these complexes don't have better signage and numbering. Enough with this blend in aesthetic. Big bright easy to see numbering. The good ones have signs showing which numbers are on which side as well.

I accidentally accepted a delivery to a university once when I first started doordash (this was before I knew I could look at the map when receiving an order) and it was hell. Now I decline them.

Yes, a woman had a white door but no number on it, it was supposed to be 67 but she came out so i can see her.

85% of my zone are apartment complexes. I prefer the ones with elevators. Stairs

My market has a lot of people ordering from complexes so there isn't much of a choice.

Na fuck that they have time to order they have time to edit and provide proper directions.

Lol. If you're In an area like me you'd be avoiding at least 50% of all your deliveries

That's awesome thank you

People have 0 common sense.....when someone rents an apt you get a tour as to how to get to ur unit,,,,please WRITE directions as to how to get to it the first time

Amen brother!

Apts are fine if gps at least gave correct info. DoorDash always shows my location in the condos up the street and different apt number too

We want houses , houses all day!

Main problem in America is that TOO MANY people complain and react to any difficulty with a criticism or complaint

Im paranoid about getting towed even though im usually only away from the car for a few minutes. Not all complexes have visitor spots and the majority of them in my city tow cars that dont have a permit displayed

You either get to know your neighborhood and don’t accept those kind of orders. Or you leave them at the front door or the front entrance of the building! You can text the person and let them know you’re there and they can either meet you there at the front door, like if it was the front door of the house or they can come pick it up at their leisure after you’ve sent them a picture showing where it is. you are NOT obligated to walk around inside of somebody’s building looking for them, it’s the same as walking into somebody’s house… it’s totally dangerous for women, especially at night when you don’t know what’s lurking around that corner or in that hallways fu*ck that!! Don’t let these cheap ass lazy customers tell you that you have to do that when you don’t! It’s not your problem that they live in an apartment instead of a house. And no; I’m NOT kidding.

Good looking out🎉❤

Or when they put the pin on another building and you think it’s there because there is no building numbers 🤦‍♀️😒

Thank you!😇

I hate when they dont put the building number were there 20 building..

I haven't had much trouble plus if I avoided apartment complexes I would make a lot less.

Uber doesn’t let you zoom in anymore 😢😢

thanks for the tip!

I want to know what idiot comes up with the numbering of the buildings in the apartments

Then they want u to kum straight to the door an they won't bother sometimes to help u find them

You can’t see destination anymore

Yes you do.

My least favorite... Tons of heavy groceries,Top floor apartment with no elevator..

I agree about skipping the apartments for Uber eats. But can we talk about customers who are staying in hotels that want you to bring your food directly to their suite as if they’re ordering room service 😅? These customers should be required to meet downstairs in hotel lobby for delivery. It’s insane. I’ve stayed at hotels before and ordered food, I ALWAYS take my behind downstairs in the lobby and wait for my order. Americans are so entitled.

There s no parking place sometimes can not enter... They just want it infront of door come out or dont use delivery app
