I'm here in the Providence, Rhode Island Market. Platinum. I actually wish I ONLY received shop n deliver offers. DD sent me an email last week stating that I am prioritized to get S n D orders above other dashers. It has been working so well for me in this tiny state. Enjoy your videos!!!

@@YourDriverMike I got two tasks today to verify holiday hours for a couple restaurants next door to one another. So that made it easy.

That would be a game changer lol

Bye bye at least 30% of their customer base

🤣🤣🤣 right

This will be a classic comment one day. 😂😂😂 man that would be amazing

Imagine if you could choose radius or mileage limits so you don't get sent 2 to 3 zones away. Also as a platinum Dasher I feel like you should be able to choose whether you are willing to take 8 $3 orders an hour or no order less than $10. Also the option like they have pause, to add orders until you hit pause. I don't have a preferences option other than cash on delivery. I don't mind shop & pay as long as they are up front about the order. For example: is it actually 3 items or 3 carts full of groceries you're picking up? Is this merchant ineligible for tips? And the option to select it like other platforms.

I believe you can request this through support... at least we used to be able to. I know I originally requested to be taken off Walmart orders and I no longer received them. Restaurants can also request you be removed as a driver to their store, I believe. So you could ask the restaurant to do that for you.

@@HekylHydeRestaurants can certainly request a driver be removed as a driver from their establishment. Just make sure not to go the route that Chuck @dashingacrossamerica did.

​@@HekylHyde Cane's isn't hooked up with DD. So, they cannot remove someone

DD would never give drivers that much customization cuz barely any orders would get done. They limit customization for a reason.

That’s weird because I Dash in Augusta GA and have toggles for shop and deliver, delivery and cash on delivery. Are you on Android or iPhone? The apps are different depending on which one you have. I’m using an iPhone. They used to have the end of dash destination in Augusta about 2 years ago but it was only a pilot program and it went away after a few months. I hope they bring it back because I live in Lincolnton and it was so nice being able to end my dash on that side of the zone. They really need to split the zones around here up though. They’re huge compared with other zones I’ve seen. The Aiken zone is over 40 miles across and the Augusta zone is just as big and with Fort Gordon right smack in the middle of it makes it even worse. I shouldn’t be ending up in Hephzibah or Blythe when I started my dash in Evans.

Yes, I agree, having an end of dash location would be great.

​@@cmudd9788 be careful what you wish for because constantly driving back to your zone to get another order is a lot of wasted miles

So accepting 2/3 is a 66% ar, meaning it very well could’ve dropped you a percentage. Something else to consider is that it’s based on your past 100 orders, so every new offer replaces the last 100th offer you were given. So it can sometimes drop you multiple percentage points bc you take away an accepted offer from your 100 most recent and add a declined offer, giving you 2 less accepted offers out of 100.

Don't let AR drag you down, since I stopped caring I make more or the same than I did with 80+ AR.

Yes, we need a blacklist for customers.

same and im in the chicago area. I have been able to toggle off shop and deliver for years, I was like...........wait, this is new for people? O.o

Do you see a benefit from the tier program?

@@rehtuluv The only benefit I care about is dash anytime

@@luke.dethomas So you don't see a benefit from the tier program like increased income? Bc that's the purpose.

They're probably like "we said you can mark your PREFERENCE, doesn't mean we're going to actually listen to you" 😂

Not available at LOTO either

DD will sling more of them at you if you accept them. In my area only a small subset of what I get offered is worth the time / effort / $$ calculation - as alot of the customers in my area want to just use normal DD tipping (often on the low end) and not count for the fact that people have to shop for stuff. Had a lady, I kid you not, do 2 overflowing grocery shopping carts with a delivery up narrow steep stairs and no tip (all the while saying she was going to increase my tip...always a red flag), was on EBT (it said 6 items) so couldn't see her tip. The grocery store told me 2 prior drivers had taken the 1st cart of groceries and then left w/o accepting the order & no delivery, lol.

As an experienced S&D Dasher, I've taken many. Don't accept ones over about 20 items though.

Announced some time ago yes, finally got it here in Pittsburgh been wanting to filter out Shop & Delivery. Curious how that's going to go cherry picking only other types

@@YourDriverMike I've had it in the chicago area for almost 2 years now and honestly its the best thing since sliced bread. i'll do shop and delivers really early in the day 7am till around 9am ish, then i turn it off and only do food for lunch and im usually sitting around 100 too 200 by 1pm. and I cherry pick my rear off, my acceptance rate is 8% lol.

I was told by DD Support that the options take 24 hours to change in the App, that was for “Cash on Delivery” orders.

Way Southern AZ..... (market)

I dropped to Gold and scheduling went away because of an old customer low rating. I called DD Support and they were somehow able to remove one of the complaints. I was back at Platinum after about a day and could schedule again. Look at which of your ratings is keeping you from Platinum and work on that.

@@ForeverWhereAfter It's not having 100 deliveries in the last month. I was out with a bad back. My version of their software at the time didn't let me know where I stood with the number of deliveries for any month rolling along (not that I could of delivered then). So they switched over to the new silver, gold, platinum rating system in the mean time. So I can't get to the schedule having any openings even after 3pm comes everyday. I can't get back to work at all with them, having literally froze me out of getting back on the schedule. All my stats are platinum except the 100 deliveries per month. Now I can't fairly schedule for any attempt. Locked on the outside looking in at the weeks of no schedule available. What a strange way to do business and worst practices at best. I am in the process of getting on other apps be sure, but forced out by their lack of thought of their drivers in good standing otherwise. At gold level I can't go to work now that I can? Thank you for the response and comment.

I WISH, I absolutely HATE going to Aldi

Then no, its not worth it. You still get good offers otherwise and having run both with and without - having it just makes your offers a bit better, but not worth taking the money loosing ones you need to get / keep that level. Scheduling is really the big thing and if you have a way around that do not bother. The main labeled high value items I get, once or twice a 6 hour shift, I kid you not is a $4 offer cause delivery is so short (so labled as "High Value"), which if there's a delay on pickup is not worth it.

They do that cause they want to verify that you’re actively using it.

@@robertclevenger3402 Makes sense! Though I didn't spend money on it to not use it haha

Customers for shop and deliver love to updater order to get a refund. Shady ppl.

@@rehtuluv yea I don’t do shop and deliver either. But alcohol orders I definitely do. I’ve had orders where I’ve made over $100.

@@manbearpig637 I'm starting to shift in that direction. Tired of getting low ratings from shady customers when I do everything as described. Just yesterday, I had to substitute an item at Petsmart. I texted the customer, no response in 3mins so I called and she answered. I told her I provided a picture of the substitute and she said she wanted it. Then gives me a low rating on 100% fill rate order. SHADY. I woke up at 2am to a notification saying she "updated her order". Then my ratings went down.

Agreed

Thanks for sharing

Don't mind the Shop & Deliver? I don't get many alcohol deliveries but the regulations are different here in PA vs when I was in CA

Toggle the switch to turn off

I’m in California and still have them
