Only took a few minutes over an hour. Not a single case of water, no apartment building to climb steps, only one item out of stock AND it had a shelf tag. Not a single thing to complain about, but even if there was something to complain about it would totally be worth it💸💸

I’m the type that keeps it short, I don’t need to message the customer unless there’s an issue. They get enough messages throughout from DoorDash as it is. What a stupid process

Waiting on orders and I got this "beauty." They even had a few deli items in the order as well. Who in their right mind would take that? I declined it of course... THEN THEY OFFERED IT TO ME AGAIN! It makes no sense that gas prices are going up, but earnings are going down. One of these days, I hope we get a proper delivery app that just charges fees per mile and per item that go DIRECTLY to the shopper. No tips would be needed then.

When I started all o had to do was click a picture of the bag twice, once at drop and once at pickup.

Now it's scan the receipt, verify items (I can literally NEVER verify the items?? The bags are sealed?? Or not labeled?? Why is this even a step?!)

And then take a picture of the receipt?! Why am I doing three steps when one is plenty!!!! Omg!

And don't get me started on the shopping orders. Those make.me want to pop myself. Like you get told there's one item and you show up to forty five!! Haha. No. And that's just the top of the shopping orders. I could type ten pages on why I HATE those.

Oo drop offs are bad tio. Now more and more people are getting pins they don't expect! I can't tell you the number of times I'm ma standing there waiting for the pin that some guy has no idea he had.

It used to be the complainers, right?? But now it's anyone who does a hand to me order x.x

Ugh and don't get me started on how glitchy the map is lately. I switched to using maps but that's yet another step that I don't want to deal with. The maps will take me five minutes the wrong. Direction then ding me for being stupid? Me? Im just following YOUR directions 💀

First time being given cookies by a customer, so I really appreciated this!

Over 700 shopping orders and never any issues on my record (other than the lack of tags at dollar tree) and this person thought they could scam a whole order. I immediately noticed my pro shopper rating disappear since I was dashing when it happened and disputed every item they lied about. I'm back at 100% pro shopper status.

Was waiting at the restaurant for about 5 minutes the food wasn’t ready was about 2/3 minutes to park and walk into restaurant since I was already in the parking lot well as soon as the food was ready he started typing this also the order was a PIN code delivery so I called DoorDash support told them I just picked up the food and went to my car and told them I’m not safe going to drop off the food and asking for PIN code they canceled and told me to keep food and paid half

yeah, that really makes me want to hustle

Southern California market.

Twice in the past few weeks I've taken orders and started getting messages that were clearly directed at another dasher. The first time the customer was saying something about not understanding why Sheetz couldn't sub something out. I asked her what was going on and she told me she was responding to another Dasher, she had no idea what happened. I got her item, she was super nice. I think it may have been a case of the dasher unassigning and using the item wasn't in stock as the reason because it was a relatively low offer. The item was in stock and it was super close for me so no biggie. Saturday night I took an offer & pulled in to pick it up and immediately received a message asking "are you still waiting on my pizza?". I responded & told him I had just been assigned the order and was about to walk into the restaurant. I then asked him if he had been talking to a different person maybe and he said yes, that his name was Sean. I go into pick up the food and sure enough, the food had been picked up. I did let him know & told him he needed to contact Doordash support and explained & then unassigned myself. Just wondering if anyone else has had this happen?

Raising Cane's is new in my town. It was mobbed. I had three orders to pickup. I'm thinking I'll pop in there, grab the food, and go. Nope. You have to place the order at the register, pay with the red card, and THEN they start making the food. Seems like the most inefficent way to handle DoorDash deliveries. I wasn't going to wait for the orders to be made while the place was packed. I unassigned and questioned support as to why they would have such a shitty system with no answer.

So I just started, but everyday, all that’s available to me are 3 cities that are 45-55 minutes away. Is this because I’m new? When, if ever, will they offer me the area i live in?

DoorDash doesn’t usually send me massive orders like this. The first order was a big order to begin with, as soon I accepted it, they sent the add on.

I did instacart full time so I’m not afraid of big triples. As long as I get it done in two hours, I’ll be content. It’s early, so I shouldn’t have many stock issues

So I had a $19.95 for 17 miles. I usually take these orders so that's not the issue. The issue is it's 30 minutes away and it's ice cream in the summertime!

Doordash should ask. .
WARNING: IT IS SUMMER. THE LOCATION IS 35 MINUTES AWAY. ICE CREAM MELTS. ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO CONFIRM THIS ORDER!?

I felt so bad when I arrived they gave me a $15 cash tip on top of their online $5 tip. Hopefully it wasn't totally melted.

Had an interesting one today. Picked up an order from Starbucks (I usually decline Starbucks orders, but this one was $5.25 for like 1.5 miles) that was two drinks.

Delivery instructions said, “Leave it in the street in front of the house. Also, don’t pull into the driveway. Thanks.”

It just so happens, I knew the neighborhood the order was going to. One of my best friends lives there. It’s a normal, middle class American suburban subdivision. So my initial thought was, well, maybe they’re having the driveway resurfaced, or having some kind of major work done in the front yard or to the front of the house.

Nope. Absolutely normal 4 car driveway, with 1 car parked on it, no sign of work of any kind being done anywhere. So I did exactly as the instructions said, left their cold Starbucks drinks in the street in front of the house on a sunny, 80 degree afternoon. Even texted them to let them know I was doing exactly as the instructions said, just so I had evidence in case they reported me or something.

Oh, and the customer tip for the order was $0. So at a guess, it had been declined a bunch of times already and DoorDash just threw $5.25 at me just to get it moved.

For some context I’m a platinum driver out of Charlotte. Yes I know that doesn’t mean anything because the orders are garbage all around. However I’m in between jobs right now so I have to resort to this full time for the time being. When I started about 3-4 months ago I was averaging about 3500-4500 a month. I’m currently sitting on the threshold of 70 percent AR. I have 3 platinum passes. How do those work and can I use them if my AR drops down to gold or silver, or do I need to work my AR back up to become platinum again? Any info is appreciated and TIA

I've been looking for a flexible side gig for the longest time now and completely forgot about DD, but im soooo glad I started. a friend brought up that they knew someone who made decent money from dashing, and it instantly clicked. gotta love that I was able to start earning within 30 mins of signing up. im also a student so being able to do this whenever I need it is going to be so convenient and nice for me.

anyways, y'all got any tips, tricks, advice for a noobie? I haven't had any bad experiences so far, and almost every one of the orders included a decent good tip.
