    Just started driving for Spark 2 weeks ago first week made $780 with $200 bonus. After driving for DD and UE for over a year spark is killing it. I love the $30+ shop and deliver orders I drive 5 or less mile a trip.

      The two walmarts we have here use uber eats to deliver. I gross around $1500-1700 on 40 hours. We have sparks coming to one of our Walmarts the 29th of this month, it sounds like we are about to make less money for more work. If thats the case Ill go back to DD and Roadie until the new Amazon distribution center opens next year.

    I like spark a lot also. And if you have a long wait time at Walmart, the extra effort Pau goes up. I waited about 30 minutes for one order and got an extra $5 just for waiting. You are right about everything you said. The referral bonus is good too, $100 extra for 10 deliveries.

    I do online grocery shopping for Walmart and was always curious if it was worth it for my particular drivers. I live in the top floor of a secured apartment in Phoenix (with elevator) and when I shop, I buy all kinds of items (cat litter/soda/water) and I always have to help the driver because so far, nobody has carts and I do. I asked the last driver and she said that she would have to buy one herself...I gave her a decent tip even though I had to help her with all the groceries to my door.

Like special bags (hot/cold), special devices to hold your phone for ez reference/directions to point of delivery, special carrying devices (for those 4 cases on the 4th floor water deliveries - nome sayin'), etc. Any wisdom you can share with us will be appreciated.

I feel bad for the driver that’s bringing me one item at nine at night.

    Sparks is coming to one of our Walmarts on the 29th of this month. Both our walmarts deliver through Uber eats, the groceries sound about the same. But the batched E-orders as we call it go from 1 up to 14 packages and they pay $5 up to $135.71 which is my largest. Most are $35-90. So sparks pays less for E-orders. Let's hope the grocery deliver pays the same.

    Hello! Question: when the delivery says small, medium or large, does that mean the size of the actual items or quantity? Thank you for your great content! Appreciate it!

    • @dashingwithflash9688
      @dashingwithflash9688  2 года назад +3

      Sorry for the late response here. Great question. That size estimate they give is usually in reference to the overall volume size of the order. It can be a little off at times but usually it's a decent metric to follow. But always do a quick once over of the order to make sure. I did a Spark Home Depot pickup that was tagged as X-Large but it was about 10 bags of mulch, which is a lot, but not too much to fit in any 4 door car. Hope this helps and thank you.

  • @mc9493
    @mc9493 2 года назад

    I just finished up the year with spark. I drove for about 5months. I just did my taxes and DDI takes about a third of your earnings. They take their cut first so you don't see how much they're taking. And when the 1099 form comes you will see the total you earned that includes the cut they took. You have to pay taxes on the whole amount. After the DDI fees and taxes. You walk away with half of whatever you made.

    • @wakichunu
      @wakichunu 2 года назад

      On the spark app FAQ section they say you can write off the DDI fees so you don't pay taxes on those. Just add the amount to your mileage expense and other expenses.

    • @wakichunu

Just make sure you make a day out of it to really make it worth your mileage. Go there with the intent to drive for at least 5-6 hours.

    NOTICE!! - Many environmentally concerned customers like me will pay an additional $5 green bonus tip for delivery to our doors via bicycle or electric vehicle. I see drivers using all kinds of gas hog vehicles that pollute and cut their incomes. They leave the motor running while unloading! Less emissions benefits all mankind but it benefits the smart drivers the most. I have never seen a driver using an insulated delivery box here in hot humid Florida - you would also get a bigger tip for not delivering thawed items.

I clearly said I would give extra for bike or electric vehicle delivery and only reduce the tip if my food is thawed because that is avoidable. But now that is over because I just bought an electric vehicle and pick up my own, charging for free at Walmart.

    Account was deactivated today, spark sent a email saying my account has been deactivated due to possible violation of deactivation policy Has anyone else experience such and it’s been giving me serious concern as My customer rating was 4.97, Acceptance was 51% Completion 90%, On time 87% Total deliveries 9337, Support wouldn’t help even after I explained I was late cause my car had a flat tyre. Thank God #larktech
