Do lower ratings hurt on Walmart Spark Delivery?

  • Ever since my rating on Spark Delivery dropped, I've always wondered if it truly makes a difference in the grand scheme of things. It's really hard to say at the moment, but eventually I'd like to spark a debate about it and really bring ideas together. I, for one, believe it does, but not in the sense you're thinking.

    Walmart added a store to my area. This store takes almost 30 min to get to. I have asked for a month now to block this store. They still havent blocked it. I even got an email that stated 5-7 for this to take effect. Now because of this store my acceptance rate has gone down. I was at a 94 now I am at an 80. I pretty much will take anything but I am not driving to that store. This really bugs the crap out of me.

      I've come across that issue working in the market north of me. There's two stores and they are 20 minutes a part. If you're hovering around the busier store that's one thing, but to be pulled 30 minutes away like that is too much and too far. I'm sorry you have to put up with that.

    I think you're wrong about the customer rating. Most customers don't even bother to rate you so it has to hit 50 people rating you not the last 50 orders. So it'll probably take you forever to flush out bad ones and you're probably still get bad ones.

    • @Ride980
      @Ride980  2 года назад

      I'm just going by what it says in app about the metrics. "[Ratings] will be calculated as percentages based on your last 50 trips, or the last three months, whichever is sooner."
      You could be onto something with that.

    Friday, Saturday and Sunday are the money days. In the summer those are really the only days you should work if you care about your hourly rate of gross earnings. Gas prices will be climbing soon due to the pandemic oil reserves the government bought is starting to run out (Trump bought a bunch of barrels of oil when the oil barrels where on tankers and oil was $7 per barrel during the pandemic and that is being resold into our economy now which is why gas prices have gone down). I must say that GH has been on fire lately in my market. They finally improved their dispatch system and no longer send orders out to driver immediately after the customer places it so they are on par with DD and UE for pick up times. Also all Amazon Prime customers get 1 year free GH delivery and many people are taking advantage of it in my market but they are tipping as well so I'm getting a ton of stacked offers with GH and I'm crushing it during peak hours with GH. DD supplements GH but the pay outs per order are smaller due to higher base pay with GH and GH shows 100% of the final payout upfront unlike DD and UE. Plus GH hot bags are premium and free.

    • @Ride980
      @Ride980  2 года назад

      I won't use any other bags than my GH bags. Those are the best and I will continue standing by them, lol. I really need to try out Grubhub sometime to see if there are actual deliveries. Last time I tried on a schedule I wasn't making anything. I don't think I've driven a full shift for them in nearly two years.
      I feel like if I didn't take weekends off I could easily make a week's worth of pay in 4 days and have extra time to work on the channel. But... I like my weekends off too much. I get a ton of things done :)

    • @Ride980
      @Ride980  2 года назад

      I believe the ratings overall matter to an extent. Not so much if your rating is 5.0 or 4.8, but I do believe they go off of what color you're in. HOWEVER, working in a bigger market this last week has shown me I can see where that's coming from. Having a large amount of orders usually negates the ratings as there's enough to go around. In a smaller market such as my home town, any slip of the ratings and you're automatically placed on a second tier for offers.

    • @GigTube
      @GigTube 2 года назад

      @@Ride980 Do you have any proof to back up this claim? Instacart outright admits ratings affect your access to batches (well they used to, now it's more about proximity to the store). Would need to see some corporate documentation about this, otherwise it's just as random a conspiracy theory as any other.

      If they don't tip, they don't tip. Walmart will offer you base pay but that's it. I always pay attention to the total pay rather than tips and base. If there's a $65 order with no tip and a $50 order with a tip, I'm always taking the highest one (if mileage makes sense). If you don't want to tip, don't tip. Just cross your fingers that base pay is high enough, lol
