I got an order yesterday shop for 55 items and drive 8 miles for $65 that was crazy I did it in just over an hour. Shop and delivery is by far the best for money
@Daniel Brockman the orders have been absolutely garbage the last 3 months. I used to regularly get $40+ orders and could do in about an hour, now it's orders between 17$-30$ and your lucky to get two done in an hour.
I worked with Spark driver support and I love that you take the time to read and understand how Spark works. You have all the information and tools to earn more money on your phones.
Your last video inspired me to join Spark in West Pittsburgh (Robinson and Moon Township). In my first week I made over $1,100 working just 30 hours in that week. I think Spark is going to be good.
Depending on your market, it is definitely worth trying out. We are all here to help each other is the way I see it. Knowledge can make more money and knowledge is gained through experience as well as other folks.
Love your attitude towards watching & commenting on these platforms. Many individuals don’t engage because of snide remarks & theirs no need!! Personally the first month of Sparks was great but then it became saturated and in my area I went from a order a hour, at least to a order every few hours. And, the honeymoon period ended when the incentives did!
Reminds me a little of when I did seasonal PVD for UPS. Sometimes we had to "build a manifest" which just meant scan the item when you receive it, and again when you deliver. Difference is UPS expected me to do this with over 100 packages.. a day. It was good pay because they also paid reimbursement by the mile as well as decent hourly but my legs took a month to heal. And I wasn't hip on delivering at night where you can't find addresses. My first day was a 13 hour shift. Yeah it got dark. Doubles the delivery time.
In my area I will only take shop and delivery orders, they are normally well over 30$ for medium orders and 40$ for larger orders, and I know my Walmart really well and most orders where they load for me are mid teens low 20s and they are very very slow to get to you.
I just started Spark. I’ve done a few deliveries and only one shop and delivery. The one shop and delivery was for two ice cube trays. The customer wanted two. A total of about $4. I drove 4.5 miles with said trays. I was paid $29.75 for that order.
I’m just seeing this and idk if you’re still trying Spark out, but I want to hit in point 8. Don’t be fooled by the bonuses. When you first start, first month or two, they send you great incentives… but that quickly goes away. They do that to get you to continue. I’m now on month 4 and I the last time I got a “worth it” incentive was probably 2 months ago. Currently I have an incentive “complete 4 orders, get $8, complete 8 and get $12”. A JOKE😂😂
I don't like the customer being able to adjust the tip DOWN. The delivery app ROADIE by UPS has the same adjustment BUT there is a guaranteed tip amount (usually 5 bucks.) Roadie was the delivery platform for my market's WalMarts until March 3rd 2022 I assume Spark will now be the delivery platform. Not enough demand for WalMart delivery to be anything but a filler to DoorDash for me...and metrics meaning more offers I see being at the bottom of the list ;)
Spark is doing the same thing that doordash did they're flooding the market with people out there you don't get enough orders you have to run the Shetty orders I don't like that spark gives you say as an example you get $45 for 20 orders U yes you run it cause it's worth it but it only counts as one order versus doordash Dortash gives you 3 orders and one as a batch but they still count as 3 orders
It’s super insane how different regions work. I keep hearing how areas are slow or super low paying. In my area it’s extremely overwhelming how many orders come through at once. I’m averaging about 10-12 orders in the Q at once. However the pay is insanely high. I’m get about $30-51 for 2-3 orders in a batch. So it’s totally worth it. I make a days pay usually in 4-5 hours compared to my last 8 hours a day job I had last.
That was my reason for actually quitting my job IN Walmart. I was with the online delivery pickup team making $14/hr for 8 hours.. $560 a week BEFORE taxes. I quit and started Spark, work THREE days and bring home over $700 every week. Makes sense to me! Best decision I’ve made.
@@brionnamitchell2946 keep letting everyone else know so they can sign up and create more competition and spark can lower the pay for us all and we can be stuck making $14/hour like doordash! Wooohooooo!!!!!!’
Tried Walmart Spark & it was a disaster, even with the generous bonuses granted you need at least 3 trips to claim anything on a specific day. Most trips have at least 5 stops in my area and it can be as high as 10; with miles ranging from 13 to 40. Accepted a $32 order for 13 miles. Ended up throwing in the towel after waiting 20 minutes for it as a just as good Apple store delivery rang on Uber Eats. No easier single stop orders in my area too.
It took me like 2 days to figure out how to scan and why it wasn't taking a picture of the label....I finally figured it out and watched a view videos on RUclips. I should of watched the videos first haha I try proceeding without the label. It doesn't let me most of them time. The label is very important
I've seen days where they offer an extra 25$ for 4 delivery's 35 for 6 and 50 for 8 delivery's, so I'll do 2 after work before dinner and 2 after dinner and boom an extra 25$ which is awesome.

i hv hyundai elantra they will give u orders based on the size of the car. keep in mind sometimes thrill send u order too large but u can see them ahead of time and reject them.
Spark is Hit or Miss in my area /zone just to many drivers dead beat incentives and you can be sitting for hours just waiting on 1 order , I believe it’s only good $$$ when an area has more than 1 Walmart
My first ever order was a shopping order and the person ordered just one toilet paper holder that cost $2.00. I got paid $28 for shopping and dropping it off. Took me 15 to shop and drop off
And here in Orlando we have bonuses almost twice and even 3 times a week... There are times that you get $25 for 9 trips.. On the weekends they do $35 for 9 trips.. On the weekend of New Year's they had $70 for 9 trips on Thursday and Friday which was awesome..
Hello, good morning, I like your information. I want to open my account for the first time. What zip code do you recommend to open and not get on the waiting list?
I've been done it for 6months..the 1st 3 months I was making $1200 a week. Now I'm finding I'm making $700 at best. It'd a little bizarre, nee drivers are getting all the $30 orders and all of us old drivers are getting the $10 orders. Odd
I'm a new driver and actually figured out I get the crap offers while the vet drivers are getting the better ones. As it should be lol. This aint my first gig rodeo. But yah all us drivers talk and they were thrilled I wasn't getting the better orders and honestly I wasn't sad about it because I know how it is. 2 weeks later and my offers are getting a little better.
The person messed up with the sticker. It always is. The stickers are on the bin and they take it off the bin and put it on a bag. Then the do the same for the backseat. The person messed up
Hey man I found this video really useful! Question: I have been attempting to sign up as a driver for the past 5 days with ddi driver but my application I has basically been completely frozen and the app functions poorly also the service number is no good where I live apparently/ do you know of anyone facing issues like the with the spark driver app/website and any solutions
I had felt like they were taking long and uploaded my background check from Checkr to them to see if that would speed it up, they got back the next day that they didn't need drivers in my region.
Yes, I have tried loading the DD application about 50 times. I t freezes at my dl scan. I have reloaded the app, I have called support 3 times, uninstalled and reinstalled. Nothing works. My cousin had the same problem.
I have a roller duffle bag that so I can make fewer trips back and forth from the car to the door. I felt the same way you did about shop and deliver until I tried it the payout are exponentially higher. I made $21 going only 2 miles from the store and picking up maybe 25 items. I also made $32 shopping for one item and driving a total of 7 mi away. Most of the shop and delivers I make at the very least 21 dollars With low miles.
We don't have spark here in California however I do doordash delivery and I do the shop and deliver orders and they are way more higher than any regular food order that's how I make most of my money sometimes
3:20 U can also use those large blue bags from IKEA store that U get when U purchase their items at the register, they have those blue bags with yellow handles U buy to store Ur things in before leaving. I learned that from an Amazon flex when I was working under Amazon as a shopper before converting completely with Whole Foods as their employee☺️
Those incentive are game changers. Literally everyday in my zone they'll just be like "Hey so If you do 5 trips you get an extra 70 bucks" or "So If every order you do extra 5 extra 10" I do like small orders for like 20-50 items something I could do in to trips without a cart and boom 20 dollar base 5 dollar incentive. It's insane. I don't know why I have a Instacart or shipt account. I feel like if you're in the Glendale/Peoria area if you work an 8-10 hour shift 400-500/daily is totally achievable. That's how good it is. But for me? 3-4.5 hours is enough 140-170 a day is fine. I'm not high maintenance I'm content with 2.5k a month. Plus I'm pretty sure you could probably make even more than that if you're in a Place that's really high end with a lot of Walmarts. TL;DR Spark is 1000% worth it and I'm so glad I didn't listen to people when they said it isn't.
I love spark. Pays great. Making about 1k a week The best orders are shopping in the store. I have had several that paid me 27 dollars for one item and driving it 2 miles
@@craigcarter400 Yeah, it is nice. A flat 25 dollar store shopping . It is the same pay as the 30 item orders. I did one yesterday for an 8 pack of band aids that was 30 with the tip and it wasn't 5th delivery so I had a 15 Dollar bonus. I will no longer do the 10 batch order. It pays 20 bucks to drive 20 miles and no one tips. If it averaged like 2.00 in tips it is worth it.
@@craigcarter400 I believe in math. You need a sample size. The 10 delivery batch is just one or two items. To see how it works you need to do a few runs. The last one I did was 10 deliveries for 31.50 going 15 miles. I did 10 runs to get an idea about what percent tip a buck or two after delivery. Pretty much none. So, I realized it is pretty much 2 bucks per mile. I did those runs to see if they tip. If they do and averaged 2 bucks it would be work it. 60 bucks for 15 miles. No one assumed anyone was tipping. The exercise was to see the frequency of tips to see if worth it. I now only do the two batch orders which are usually 30 bucks for 30 minutes of work driving 6 miles
My cousin changes zones in his area. He still got the $7 per order bonus for the specific zone’s store (stacked 3 bonuses from one zone and 2 from another)
This app is insane! I'd work 7-8 hours on ubereats, or doordash to make 170+...I only worked 4 hours today with spark, and raked in over 200 bucks, and that's not even counting the tips that I won't get until tomorrow. I'm in a small town too so there is only one Wal-Mart in my zone so I don't have to worry about traveling to other wal-marts. This is a game changer for me.
How do you make that much? I get a order at 8:20am pickup time would be 8:45am, order doesn't come out till 9:10am drop it all off by and get back to Walmart by 9:35am. Then don't get my next order till 10:20am pickup time at 10:45 it's almost like I get a order every other hour. Any advice?
I just started Spark amonth ago and I have to say, its a lot less stress and definitely more $$$, with less miles driven. My only dilemma is I cannot lift a lot of weight. Especially going up stairs with hvy weight. However, my husband & I do this together and take turns driving. Yesterday I did DD in the lunch time, I started Spark once my husband got off work. I made more in my 1st Spark delivery than I made in 2&1/2 hours with DD. The $$ is real and its good.
I use Spark to fill in dead space between my food delivery apps. When there was no flex on Friday night I did 4 hours of multi apping. $30 Doordash, $43 Spark (2 orders), and $14 Uber Eats.
I have to say metrics don't matter in my zone especially the acceptance rate over the summer I was at a 10% acceptance rate and still received tons of offers.
2 things: - there is no difference in rejecting vs allowing an order to expire when it comes to round robin orders, both will hit your acceptance rate. - check out Clevermade collapsible totes, you can fold them up and stow them away when not in use.
All thanks too you I have been getting a list of sparks in my area than I used too I’m so great full for meeting you now I can make 1550$ every week with Walmart spark
I wouldn't disregard the in Store shopping , there are times that you can make $25 or $ 29 and even $35 for just picking up 3 or 4 items in the store... Here in Orlando there are times where they will ask you to go in the store to shop for customers... I understand what you're saying in regards to you don't wanna waste time shopping in the store but I went inside the store to do a in store shopping for $45 for a pizza cutter... 9 times out of 10 you're only going 3 to 4 miles away from the store.. And I know you must be saying there's no way that you will get paid that much for for just doing that.. Here's how it works the average pay for a delivery is $7, express orders are charged encharged 9.99 So if the customer has a subscription to to Walmart which costs a $100 then they won't have to pay for the delivery, but if they wanted delivery at a specific time they would pay the $9.99 But the kicker is that they have 2 hours to receive it so there's times where Walmart doesn't have someone to make that order so that's why we go inside and we will get all that money for ourselves, and if the customer decides to tip after that then you get even more.
Sometimes there is one order, but 5 to 20 min to Walmart. Then the 10 to 15 min wait for pick up. Worth the one order payout? Sometimes the 1 order can be big I got 1 delivery for 24.00. It had 134 items and filled my entire car!
I no longer accept orders for Walmart through Doordash as it’s not clear until you get how many you’re picking up. A $9 order equals 3 orders, scanning to pick up and drop off. Several trips back and forth from house to destination. No more for me.
Me too. UE Walmart order are terrible. 3 items means 3 orders snd stops with 20-30 bags of groceries, including 50 lbs of dog food and cases of water and soda, mystery miles with just a map all for $8 pay. No thanks.
The one thing I learned from my first, and last, shift was NONE of the orders was ready, even tho the app said they were. They also added nine stops to an order AFTER I accepted it for NO additional pay.
I have no choice but to be the shopper/driver in my smaller town. But I think I get paid two jobs for one so been good. I would like to just drive but not as much money if you do. So the shopper/driver thing been awesome for extra pay!
Great Video 🔥 I applied yesterday, and I received an email today about my background check. Its cleared and complete. How long before I get the next step email from spark?
Who is responsible for missing items in an order? Do you navigate to the customer thru the app or on your own? If you're made to hand your phone to the customer for signature, who pays for your phone if he drops it?
Some things that bug me are: 1. Distance is not from where I am, only from the store to the customer. 2. No way to make offer map bigger or zoom. I have 7 walmarts and neighborhood markets, and 4 home depots in my area, it takes serious time to figure out which ones are which unless you know it by heart. 3. Combining 1 and 2, you have a mess trying to find a good offer, I accepted a 5 mile order and had to drive 9 miles to get to the store. 4. Refreshed offers are at the bottom and when it refreshes it sends you back to the top. Unnerving, especially today. Every 2 seconds it would update with a new order and go to the top.
I enjoy your videos. Very helpful and thank you. One question. So I signed up for spark but now I try to get on and tells me my password is wrong. Tried to reset but it never sends me the email to do so. Then I signed up again with different email to see if I could sign on. Totally the same issue. Any advice on this issue as it seems I can’t talk to anyone at spark. Thanks
lol that’s not a unicorn. a unicorn is when you get paid $64 for a 5 mile trip because it’s a new apt complex and waze and google dont hv them on their maps yet and on the order it will say 100 or more miles. u accept it then the address on the order is actually local but u got pd like it’s far. u can call customer for directions since it won’t be on the maps. going 2 miles for $27 is not near as rare as a unicorn.
today was my first day with spark and had an order with stickers that didnt match what spark showed the stickers should say. i can actually skip this step?
@@dylanroach5465 Yep I've never been punished for not scanning as of yet at least. I try to scan more nowadays but you can skip it most of the time. I would try to always do it with dotcom in store pick up orders though.
All thanks too you I have been getting a list of sparks in my area than I used too I’m so great full for meeting you now I can make 1550$ every week with Walmart
@@Fatima-no3gf kinda messed up tbh it’s like you have the choice of either having a high acceptance rating and very low on time rating, or low acceptance rating and very high on time rating but no in between so like a lose lose situation either way you go.
So, i have a question. Is the driver actually able to VIEW and See the items that the Customer ordered? I had 18 items Missing from my delivery today. This has been a NIGHTMARE for the last 3 weeks i have been going through this. Having to spend HOURS to get someone to help me to bring to me the rest of my grocries. Walmart, IF i can even get a human voice from the local store here in WOODBRIDGE, VIRGINIA ... They often point fingers to the driver and the driver points fingers to Walmart. And i am not talking about 1 or 2 missing items. the last 3 weeks i have to fight to get a good half of my grocries that i paid for.
I have been driving for almost a year for Spark. I was making good until they opened up my zone to cites that are 30-40 miles from my local store. They pop up and say the delivery is only 5 miles away from me when it’s 40 miles . I have to reject them because they are paying nothing .
I have trouble with the first come first serve orders. I barley get a chance to see what's happening then the order is going before my eyes... I don't understand why.. It is discouraging really, because the part I do see is high dollar, usually over $30, but then it disappears.. I'm wondering is it because I use Android? Is it my phone service? Why does it happen like that?
I just got started delivering with spark. Do you not need the Branch app anymore? I did not receive a link. It does have the option to upload a voided check in DDI website. Will I receive my pay via direct deposit?
Nope... hate to tell you declining an order and not accepting an order right exactly the same. So if you don't want to accept orders don't turn spark on but if you get orders that are $9 17 mi away and you don't accept it you just let the clock run out it counts exactly the same as declining. And in order to continue receiving good orders and staying busy you have to accept offers. Offers that are sent to you with the timer or sent specifically to you so when you decline them or when you let the clock run out that is what triggers you acceptance rate to fall
I am trying to figure out the weekly earnings summary. I seem to have money missing every week. Will you please explain in detail how the earnings are added?
i accept all offers so i wont have a problem like you did, no matter what, i see money no matter how much it is the more i accept the more offers i'll get
Does a Walmart Spark driver typically leave the groceries at the door or does the driver help the customer put the groceries and other items in the order away?
No you do not help them you drop that order off and keep going You can notify them that they order is at the door but they should know when their order is being dropped off
unless it’s an elderly or handicapped person with no one to help them bring it in the house common courtesy and difference between good customer service and meh service. better tips vs none but u aren’t required to go in it’s just some of us see they need assistance and we do. i don’t put groceries away for them though and it’s rare i hv to go in the house.
You should leave them at the door and wait for a visual or verbal confirmation before you leave its in the delivery instructions. The customer should also get a notification from the app as well, but sometimes the app doesn't work properly that's why they tell the driver to get a visual or verbal confirmation. You just knock or ring the door bell and they normally answer. Technically we're not supposed to leave the groceries if no one is home. You have to take them back to the store. You will get the full delivery pay plus an added $2.50 for returning them. You won't get a tip because the groceries were returned.
New Spark worker here… Ik earnings vary greatly on the market but what do you make on average for a week? I currently work a full time job and want to do this for a side hustle. Curious on average, what about 15-20 hours a week would be. My market is also much smaller I believe.

Same Walmart is going no where and is not going to use a 3rd party for delivery , just have to have good metrics
all i takes is more people to join and then pay to fall and everyone jumping to the next app.

And here in Orlando we have bonuses almost twice and even 3 times a week... There are times that you get $25 for 9 trips.. On the weekends they do $35 for 9 trips.. On the weekend of New Year's they had $70 for 9 trips on Thursday and Friday which was awesome..
For me, I think I am going to gravitate towards Shipt instead of Spark.
I have too. I’ve also applied to Instacart.
Hello, good morning, I like your information. I want to open my account for the first time. What zip code do you recommend to open and not get on the waiting list?
Is spark better than the other services out there?
Spark is the best app period you can make 900 a week if u want to
What happens if you cancel an order
great video
Those are called deadhead miles
Someone needs to improve the app that tells you driver is on the way
I've been done it for 6months..the 1st 3 months I was making $1200 a week. Now I'm finding I'm making $700 at best. It'd a little bizarre, nee drivers are getting all the $30 orders and all of us old drivers are getting the $10 orders. Odd
I'm a new driver and actually figured out I get the crap offers while the vet drivers are getting the better ones. As it should be lol. This aint my first gig rodeo. But yah all us drivers talk and they were thrilled I wasn't getting the better orders and honestly I wasn't sad about it because I know how it is. 2 weeks later and my offers are getting a little better.
The person messed up with the sticker. It always is. The stickers are on the bin and they take it off the bin and put it on a bag. Then the do the same for the backseat. The person messed up
What type of car is needed for Walmart Spark Delivery? Is a compact car good for orders?
I drive a Honda Civic and find it to be great! I get great gas mileage (31 city/42 highway), especially with gas and inflation being higher right now.
@@BeefCake1012 would a nissan versa hatchback work?
Hey man I found this video really useful! Question: I have been attempting to sign up as a driver for the past 5 days with ddi driver but my application I has basically been completely frozen and the app functions poorly also the service number is no good where I live apparently/ do you know of anyone facing issues like the with the spark driver app/website and any solutions
I had felt like they were taking long and uploaded my background check from Checkr to them to see if that would speed it up, they got back the next day that they didn't need drivers in my region.
@@Mariaaaaaaaa213 thanks
Yes, I have tried loading the DD application about 50 times. I t freezes at my dl scan. I have reloaded the app, I have called support 3 times, uninstalled and reinstalled. Nothing works. My cousin had the same problem.
Can you deduct commuting miles from your tax ?
Yes mileage is deductible
U wanna make good money w Spark ? accept all XL Orders
Saw testimonies about this particular guy Larktech I decided to try him out indeed he’s worth it.
Even though people say that Walmart / Spark sometimes tip-bait but honestly it's the best Gig job I've ever had.
I have a roller duffle bag that so I can make fewer trips back and forth from the car to the door. I felt the same way you did about shop and deliver until I tried it the payout are exponentially higher. I made $21 going only 2 miles from the store and picking up maybe 25 items. I also made $32 shopping for one item and driving a total of 7 mi away. Most of the shop and delivers I make at the very least 21 dollars With low miles.
We don't have spark here in California however I do doordash delivery and I do the shop and deliver orders and they are way more higher than any regular food order that's how I make most of my money sometimes
I found a luggage carrier at the Salvation Army it helps me carry those cases of water
3:20 U can also use those large blue bags from IKEA store that U get when U purchase their items at the register, they have those blue bags with yellow handles U buy to store Ur things in before leaving. I learned that from an Amazon flex when I was working under Amazon as a shopper before converting completely with Whole Foods as their employee☺️
I can tell by the way you type or text, that you like to use U and ur. Quit it, it is grossly annoying, thanks for your understanding and COMPLIANCE.
Those incentive are game changers. Literally everyday in my zone they'll just be like "Hey so If you do 5 trips you get an extra 70 bucks" or "So If every order you do extra 5 extra 10"
I do like small orders for like 20-50 items something I could do in to trips without a cart and boom 20 dollar base 5 dollar incentive. It's insane. I don't know why I have a Instacart or shipt account. I feel like if you're in the Glendale/Peoria area if you work an 8-10 hour shift 400-500/daily is totally achievable. That's how good it is. But for me? 3-4.5 hours is enough 140-170 a day is fine. I'm not high maintenance I'm content with 2.5k a month. Plus I'm pretty sure you could probably make even more than that if you're in a Place that's really high end with a lot of Walmarts. TL;DR Spark is 1000% worth it and I'm so glad I didn't listen to people when they said it isn't.
I love spark. Pays great. Making about 1k a week
The best orders are shopping in the store. I have had several that paid me 27 dollars for one item and driving it 2 miles
My cousin had a shopping one for 3 items and maybe 4 miles for similar price lol.
@@craigcarter400
Yeah, it is nice. A flat 25 dollar store shopping . It is the same pay as the 30 item orders. I did one yesterday for an 8 pack of band aids that was 30 with the tip and it wasn't 5th delivery so I had a 15 Dollar bonus.
I will no longer do the 10 batch order. It pays 20 bucks to drive 20 miles and no one tips. If it averaged like 2.00 in tips it is worth it.
@@jrb9191 Obviously we can’t assume they do tip lol.
@@craigcarter400 I believe in math. You need a sample size. The 10 delivery batch is just one or two items. To see how it works you need to do a few runs. The last one I did was 10 deliveries for 31.50 going 15 miles. I did 10 runs to get an idea about what percent tip a buck or two after delivery. Pretty much none. So, I realized it is pretty much 2 bucks per mile. I did those runs to see if they tip. If they do and averaged 2 bucks it would be work it. 60 bucks for 15 miles. No one assumed anyone was tipping. The exercise was to see the frequency of tips to see if worth it. I now only do the two batch orders which are usually 30 bucks for 30 minutes of work driving 6 miles
Me too
My cousin changes zones in his area. He still got the $7 per order bonus for the specific zone’s store (stacked 3 bonuses from one zone and 2 from another)
Damn
This app is insane! I'd work 7-8 hours on ubereats, or doordash to make 170+...I only worked 4 hours today with spark, and raked in over 200 bucks, and that's not even counting the tips that I won't get until tomorrow. I'm in a small town too so there is only one Wal-Mart in my zone so I don't have to worry about traveling to other wal-marts. This is a game changer for me.
How do you make that much? I get a order at 8:20am pickup time would be 8:45am, order doesn't come out till 9:10am drop it all off by and get back to Walmart by 9:35am. Then don't get my next order till 10:20am pickup time at 10:45 it's almost like I get a order every other hour. Any advice?
I stopped DoorDash when I made 1000 dollars last week with spark. Just delivering groceries lol I got stats to prove it
Yep🤑
Also if you let the timer run out overtime they will start adding money to the order. Up to $12 I’ve seen so far
I just started Spark amonth ago and I have to say, its a lot less stress and definitely more $$$, with less miles driven. My only dilemma is I cannot lift a lot of weight. Especially going up stairs with hvy weight. However, my husband & I do this together and take turns driving. Yesterday I did DD in the lunch time, I started Spark once my husband got off work. I made more in my 1st Spark delivery than I made in 2&1/2 hours with DD. The $$ is real and its good.
I use Spark to fill in dead space between my food delivery apps. When there was no flex on Friday night I did 4 hours of multi apping. $30 Doordash, $43 Spark (2 orders), and $14 Uber Eats.
I think you do TOO MUCH of that gig work. Take a break. Let it rest.
My acceptance rate is a 2% because I have about 10 stores in my zone within a 25 mile radius and I get 65 offers at a time.
I suggest making a DoorDash vs spark delivery video
I have to say metrics don't matter in my zone especially the acceptance rate over the summer I was at a 10% acceptance rate and still received tons of offers.
I have 4% lol
It really does depend on the zone. Because here in Kalamazoo Michigan I can barely get orders.
2 things:
- there is no difference in rejecting vs allowing an order to expire when it comes to round robin orders, both will hit your acceptance rate.
- check out Clevermade collapsible totes, you can fold them up and stow them away when not in use.
I use the collapsible totes. Love them!
Hi Mike, Thx for all you do. Can you go into the sign up process for Spark please? Specifically having to sign up thru DDi?
New to Spark. Do I need to only scan one sticker per order?
83 miles for 265 dollars and 8 hours. (50 of that is an incentive) still was fantastic and fun!) Very helpful tips!
All thanks too you I have been getting a list of sparks in my area than I used too I’m so great full for meeting you now I can make 1550$ every week with Walmart spark
I wouldn't disregard the in Store shopping , there are times that you can make $25 or $ 29 and even $35 for just picking up 3 or 4 items in the store... Here in Orlando there are times where they will ask you to go in the store to shop for customers... I understand what you're saying in regards to you don't wanna waste time shopping in the store but I went inside the store to do a in store shopping for $45 for a pizza cutter... 9 times out of 10 you're only going 3 to 4 miles away from the store.. And I know you must be saying there's no way that you will get paid that much for for just doing that.. Here's how it works the average pay for a delivery is $7, express orders are charged encharged 9.99 So if the customer has a subscription to to Walmart which costs a $100 then they won't have to pay for the delivery, but if they wanted delivery at a specific time they would pay the $9.99 But the kicker is that they have 2 hours to receive it so there's times where Walmart doesn't have someone to make that order so that's why we go inside and we will get all that money for ourselves, and if the customer decides to tip after that then you get even more.
Can you just pick one order at a time because all my orders said 2 orders
Sometimes there is one order, but 5 to 20 min to Walmart. Then the 10 to 15 min wait for pick up. Worth the one order payout? Sometimes the 1 order can be big I got 1 delivery for 24.00. It had 134 items and filled my entire car!
I no longer accept orders for Walmart through Doordash as it’s not clear until you get how many you’re picking up. A $9 order equals 3 orders, scanning to pick up and drop off. Several trips back and forth from house to destination. No more for me.
Me too. UE Walmart order are terrible. 3 items means 3 orders snd stops with 20-30 bags of groceries, including 50 lbs of dog food and cases of water and soda, mystery miles with just a map all for $8 pay. No thanks.
The one thing I learned from my first, and last, shift was NONE of the orders was ready, even tho the app said they were. They also added nine stops to an order AFTER I accepted it for NO additional pay.
I have no choice but to be the shopper/driver in my smaller town. But I think I get paid two jobs for one so been good. I would like to just drive but not as much money if you do. So the shopper/driver thing been awesome for extra pay!
Great Video 🔥 I applied yesterday, and I received an email today about my background check. Its cleared and complete. How long before I get the next step email from spark?
Who is responsible for missing items in an order? Do you navigate to the customer thru the app or on your own? If you're made to hand your phone to the customer for signature, who pays for your phone if he drops it?
Keep your phone in your hand and have them sign.
Some things that bug me are:
1. Distance is not from where I am, only from the store to the customer.
2. No way to make offer map bigger or zoom. I have 7 walmarts and neighborhood markets, and 4 home depots in my area, it takes serious time to figure out which ones are which unless you know it by heart.
3. Combining 1 and 2, you have a mess trying to find a good offer, I accepted a 5 mile order and had to drive 9 miles to get to the store.
4. Refreshed offers are at the bottom and when it refreshes it sends you back to the top. Unnerving, especially today. Every 2 seconds it would update with a new order and go to the top.
Faster, I need all this info FASTER NOT SPEAD OVER 10min
So, if you don't want to drive 50 miles for $10, they hit your acceptance rate... smh
This guy can't stop capping.
😂
i have not been to open the account I have tried dozens of times they send me the appliaction numbers and they do no process my data or verify them
Tip adjustments are now 24hrs instead of 48hrs.
sup mike, how do i reset my spark driver app gps or map? you know when the app gives you open in all maps app on your phone?
I enjoy your videos. Very helpful and thank you. One question. So I signed up for spark but now I try to get on and tells me my password is wrong. Tried to reset but it never sends me the email to do so. Then I signed up again with different email to see if I could sign on. Totally the same issue. Any advice on this issue as it seems I can’t talk to anyone at spark. Thanks
Jim you don’t set your password. Spark should have sent you an email telling you to login into your account and use the password: Drive4Spark
I got a unicorn 🦄 of an order on Spark just now. It was a 2 mile delivery for 1 item that paid $27!
lol that’s not a unicorn. a unicorn is when you get paid $64 for a 5 mile trip because it’s a new apt complex and waze and google dont hv them on their maps yet and on the order it will say 100 or more miles. u accept it then the address on the order is actually local but u got pd like it’s far. u can call customer for directions since it won’t be on the maps. going 2 miles for $27 is not near as rare as a unicorn.
I've been delivering for Spark for a year full time. I rarely scan the stickers and just skip it.
today was my first day with spark and had an order with stickers that didnt match what spark showed the stickers should say. i can actually skip this step?
@@dylanroach5465 Yep I've never been punished for not scanning as of yet at least. I try to scan more nowadays but you can skip it most of the time.
I would try to always do it with dotcom in store pick up orders though.
What about tipping in cash? ( Zero on app )
how do you shop in store for customer?
Spark > Favor I can tell y’all that. Made way more on my first Spark shift today, I’d have to hit Favor promos to make what I made
All thanks too you I have been getting a list of sparks in my area than I used too I’m so great full for meeting you now I can make 1550$ every week with Walmart
Acceptance rate seems to also be affected when ignoring orders even when you don’t reject them can anyone else confirm this or is it just me?
Yes, I even spoke with a representative and she told me even ignoring round robin offers affects your acceptance rate.
@@Fatima-no3gf Thank you for confirming this for me much appreciated 👍🙏👊
@@Fatima-no3gf kinda messed up tbh it’s like you have the choice of either having a high acceptance rating and very low on time rating, or low acceptance rating and very high on time rating but no in between so like a lose lose situation either way you go.
Yes that is 100 % true
So, i have a question. Is the driver actually able to VIEW and See the items that the Customer ordered? I had 18 items Missing from my delivery today. This has been a NIGHTMARE for the last 3 weeks i have been going through this. Having to spend HOURS to get someone to help me to bring to me the rest of my grocries. Walmart, IF i can even get a human voice from the local store here in WOODBRIDGE, VIRGINIA ... They often point fingers to the driver and the driver points fingers to Walmart. And i am not talking about 1 or 2 missing items. the last 3 weeks i have to fight to get a good half of my grocries that i paid for.
I have been driving for almost a year for Spark. I was making good until they opened up my zone to cites that are 30-40 miles from my local store. They pop up and say the delivery is only 5 miles away from me when it’s 40 miles . I have to reject them because they are paying nothing .
I have trouble with the first come first serve orders. I barley get a chance to see what's happening then the order is going before my eyes... I don't understand why.. It is discouraging really, because the part I do see is high dollar, usually over $30, but then it disappears.. I'm wondering is it because I use Android? Is it my phone service? Why does it happen like that?
I love that you can change zones EASILY! BECAUSE I JUST MOVED AND SECONDS I STILL WORK FOR SPARK AT NEW LOCATION
I just got started delivering with spark. Do you not need the Branch app anymore? I did not receive a link. It does have the option to upload a voided check in DDI website. Will I receive my pay via direct deposit?
Nope... hate to tell you declining an order and not accepting an order right exactly the same. So if you don't want to accept orders don't turn spark on but if you get orders that are $9 17 mi away and you don't accept it you just let the clock run out it counts exactly the same as declining. And in order to continue receiving good orders and staying busy you have to accept offers. Offers that are sent to you with the timer or sent specifically to you so when you decline them or when you let the clock run out that is what triggers you acceptance rate to fall
Do we need a commercial auto policy to deliver for Walmart Spark? I'm considering signing up with Spark soon.
…*… 🎥 Do you have a video that talks about tax deduction for Uber eat driving? …*…🎥 …
Hello friend. Great and informative video. Just saying a question, do multiple Spark promotions stack?
I am trying to figure out the weekly earnings summary. I seem to have money missing every week. Will you please explain in detail how the earnings are added?
i accept all offers so i wont have a problem like you did, no matter what, i see money no matter how much it is the more i accept the more offers i'll get
An app that gives you back to back Walmart orders? That sounds like Hell on Earth! No thanks.
Does a Walmart Spark driver typically leave the groceries at the door or does the driver help the customer put the groceries and other items in the order away?
No you do not help them you drop that order off and keep going You can notify them that they order is at the door but they should know when their order is being dropped off
unless it’s an elderly or handicapped person with no one to help them bring it in the house common courtesy and difference between good customer service and meh service. better tips vs none but u aren’t required to go in it’s just some of us see they need assistance and we do. i don’t put groceries away for them though and it’s rare i hv to go in the house.
It’s in the guidelines. You are NOT allowed to go inside the customer’s home.
You should leave them at the door and wait for a visual or verbal confirmation before you leave its in the delivery instructions. The customer should also get a notification from the app as well, but sometimes the app doesn't work properly that's why they tell the driver to get a visual or verbal confirmation. You just knock or ring the door bell and they normally answer. Technically we're not supposed to leave the groceries if no one is home. You have to take them back to the store. You will get the full delivery pay plus an added $2.50 for returning them. You won't get a tip because the groceries were returned.
I also will put the groceries inside for my elderly customers if they ask me too. I don't have a problem with it and most always tip more when I do.
New Spark worker here… Ik earnings vary greatly on the market but what do you make on average for a week? I currently work a full time job and want to do this for a side hustle. Curious on average, what about 15-20 hours a week would be. My market is also much smaller I believe.
hv customer call walmart and they will hv another driver bring it out
