Hello again Mike, Us Iphone users have the keyboard “text replacement” shortcuts to message our folks who are waiting for us to arrive. I had dozens on my iPhone but had to delete them since I got t-boned in April. One example you may want to elaborate further on such as if your delayed due to traffic conditions, still waiting to receive the order and prior to finalizing obtaining what they ordered you can ask if they are wanting any additional items with their order. An example is the letters typing the letters “OMW” will be sent as “Hello, this is your delivery driver James and your order was ready on time and I’m on my way and will text you when I’m approaching your location”. Please let us iPhone users know how they may use the process of implementing this feature. This is indeed the safest way to communicate via texting while driving your vehicle. 17,000 individual pickups with both ride share companies in 3years without any complaints nor citations here in the San Francisco Bay Area.
You’ve taken a four year college course you’ve learned from experience, and got paid zip these apps live in your head rent free. Good on you mastering your craft
Spark is wonderful in my market. We have nine Walmarts and one is only 3 minutes from my house. With the daily incentives they give out as well makes it worth it
You need plastic tubs to carry the groceries in. A real time saver. Also - you DO need to evaluate your Spark orders differently than things like doordash, etc. since you need to factor in the trip back. I generally approach it by simply by making sure that I'm getting at least $2 per mile. Overall, however, I'm making roughly 3X more with Spark over any other gig app.
i help them, load. its not worth unloading into a wagon, then unloading again. why touch it 3 times when you can touch it twice?it is rare ya get so much ya cant carry it all at once@@YourDriverMike
Bins take up too much space for my vehicle. I use two collapsible trunk organizers by Drive Auto. These make my deliveries a lot more efficient. If I have two stops, each delivery is already separated. They have carry straps so I just grab the whole thing and take it to the door. When I'm doing food delivery, I just fold up organizers.
@sb-pq8ec… where can i get those collapsible carrying bags? this is exactly what i need’ & ive tried alot of different ways to keep separate orders & the easiest/faster way that is more efficient for me to get in & out per order. . @YourDriverMike… i brought a wagon with me in the summer- the foldable ones … i thought i was going to use it but it was so hot i just wanted to put all on my arms & bring to the doorstep & get back into AC- but, if i work at all now throughout winter… i definitely will be using it just cus it will be better seeing its colder , etc.
I just started trying Spark. I think the appeal, at least for me in my area, is that once in a while I see higher-paying deliveries. Not most, but some...enough to motivate me to keep monitoring the app and grab one in between Dashing, etc.
In the right market or zone, Spark can be so much better than DoorDash or other apps. I live in a small town with only one Walmart. The distance from my house (which is on the opposite side of town from Walmart) to Walmart is only 2.9 miles. Most of my deliveries are 2 miles or less and pay on average $17 with tip included. Yesterday, I made 4 deliveries in 3 hours and made $122 with tips & incentives included.
3 hours you made $122 and you’re happy? You not upgrade your spark account and see how you can be able to smiling everyday . My account was upgraded by a private company and up till date I am enjoying the bests offers ever 1:12
My main source of gig work income has been Walmart Shop and Deliver orders lately. I know longer do gig work full time, and when they wanted to start combining 3 orders into one curbside pickup they maid it almost impossible for you to do the order and get the next round robin. My Walmart also gives out the round robins at 25 in the hour and you cant pick up until 55 on the hour. I'm not going to waste 30 minutes for them. Only way I'll take a curbside is if it is ASAP, the rest of the time I'll only accept shop and delivers. Make sure to screenshot it, and look the next day to make sure a customer didn't tip bate, I've got a blacklist of people I won't accept for because they're known to do this.
Thanks for the feedback Ricky, I like the ASAP pick up strategy - makes sense since those ones are lagging behind and they need a driver ASAP as most likely the order is already pulled. My S&D experience on Spark has been okay, perhaps I'll be looking to take more of those
@Tyrianpimp a couple days ago they were still doing it in my market, maybe it was a week. I don't pay much attention to anything that doesn't have asap anymore
I’m a customer not a driver. How come it won’t let me tip the driver on the app? I have to give cash tips to the drivers because i don’t see anywhere where i’m suppose to tip?
Mike. Go to Rochester ny. Go to store 2859. Be there 6:40 am. It will slow down around 9 am, so take a order there. It will pick up again about 2 pm. Focus shops
In my zone I make ALOT more with spark vs dd. A lot of afternoons I get back to back express shops and the incentives are better than anything else in my area. I usually make $1200-$1500 a week. Maybe $125 of that is gas.
Depending on how many other drivers are waiting to be loaded and if they are caught up with orders, will determine your wait time. I don't do pick up since the stores in my area are too long. Shop and deliver is better paying too!
Walmart is literally 3 minutes from my house and like 5 minutes away from where I usually sit for my food delivery apps so it only makes sense that I would add Spark to my gig opportunities. I have 2 main problems with Spark though, 1 is locally, the other one, I’m not sure if it’s a local thing or more widespread through Spark. First, the pickup time takes forever at my local Walmart. Even after it says the order is ready, you can still expect to wait at least 20 minutes for the order to be brought out to you. Then, if they send me an order that I don’t like so I reject it, they will repeatedly send the same order over and over again. Sometimes, money is added and it may get to the pay that makes it worth my time to do, but often, there isn’t any additional pay so all they are doing is hurting my metrics on Spark.
I was told that the only orders that impact your acceptance rates are the ones that are directly sent to you with a timer. The ones they offer to everyone (the ones that keep coming back) do not count. It is annoying either way, if I reject, it’s usually because no boost of value would make it worth driving. Aka 20 orders, 40+ miles for $40. Haha!
@@bmills5824 if that’s true about the acceptance rate, that’s good, but as you said, it’s still annoying to see the exact same offer over and over again
I had the same order sent to me 4 times last night. My Walmarts are have been hit or miss on pickup with some being brought out right away and some taking 30 minutes. I waited 30+ minutes to return an order that was canceled on route last Wednesday. Yesterday, beside that one order sent to me 4 times, they were all shop and deliver which I like so much more because I can start as soon as I get to the store and put less miles on my vehicle. I'm in a pretty small market in Great Falls MT.
That all makes sense, yes I feel like Spark it's just wait, wait, wait -- so manly instances of that. That is just not the case on other platforms, worse case you do just 1 drop per hour
I got that message twice tonight, the minute I accepted it, then 5 minutes later they canceled it. But wait...30 minutes later they sent it back, for less money! It was a stack, 11 drops, and I rejected it 4 times. Then they canceled it, then they sent it 2 more times. I finally took it and got that warning message a second time! It's insane
Just to point out with spark if you are not at the store you will get orders that are left over, the better orders will come to you when you sit at the store
As a spark driver since 2019 I will say it's up to the driver to know how long it will take to arrive I never accept a order I know will make me late aka(OTA metric.) However, usually they give u a 15-25 minute window for schedule deliveries ASAP IS ANOTHER STORY basically gotra be right by the tmstore or start no more then 10-15 minutes after the schedule start time. As for curbside pickup it's still the same after the update. I notice the no tip/ low item orders are ready. The longer ones are the 3 stop orders with high item count still wait 20 mins
I accepted one today that was 3 stops, one being Walmart of course and 2 deliveries. 1 order had 6 items and the other had 3. I was still at home when I accepted it, drove to the store (3 minutes from my house), and it said it was ready by the time I got there. Still waited 20-25 minutes after I arrived for a total of 9 items that were supposedly ready when I got there and there was only 1 other car in the pickup area the entire time I was there.
Lol… when I see a fellow spark driver like me with this kind of situation I always laugh because information is the key to success . I’m pretty sure you haven’t upgraded your spark account 32:12
I have two Walmarts and a Sam's Club very close to my house. My first Spark order took a long time to pick up simply because the customer bought out the entire store. I'm not kidding. I drive an SUV. This order took up my entire trunk, my entire back seat, and my front passenger seat. Apparently the US Army is based in West Bloomfield Michigan.
It’s so painful when I see my fellow spark driver not getting the right informations why stressing yourself when you have every means to get your spark account upgraded to enjoy high offers such as high batches and orders
Walmart Spark is *AMAZING* If you live in a very *NO TIP* Market. I made around 80-100$ in my area of doordash in around 8-9 hours. Walmart spark I make around 100-140 in about 6 hours. If you live in a blessed market like these youtubers with tips on every order, Yeah doordash is best., If not, Walmart spark gave me 34$ Base pay to shop for someone's grocery order and deliver in 3.4 miles Took around 1 hour in total.
Wait times in my area suck. After having to wait for 1 or 2 orders up to 30 minutes, I get frustrated and quit. If Walmart could hire enough employees who can run pick up efficiently, we could all make really good money.
Plus I believe they only send out orders at certain times? Or at least the pick up windows are only at certain times. Might tighter restrictions than any other platform regarding that
Bulk orders use to be good but now they all suck. Pay more attention to the dollars for the order I don’t pay much attention to the miles I just need the be back for the next hour. 6 miles and under you can make it back
On the late thing, it just asks you to start trip. So hit the start trip button and that takes care of it. I did have them cancel me once though, doing that.
I live 5 minutes from Walmart. So I’ll go online at home, head down there if I get a decent order, and do other apps wherever it drops me (ideally get an order that brings me back).
For the last two weeks all I have done is spark. Within Between 10 and 15 minutes. I can be at 5 different walmarts and one Sam's. Yes, sometimes they do take a little while longer with your order. But lately I have been getting paid extra for waiting. And sometimes I need that break like yesterday I did thirteen orders. Some where Pick ups and some were shopping orders. Yes, sometimes they tell you a time. You can't be there till But that's when I just click on doordash and go do a delivery real quick. Or get a quick nap, ha ha.
I really like Spark, but…. You’ll wait generally about 10-20 min to get your first order, delivery it and then not get another order until you return. Once you return, you’ll generally wait 10-20 to get an offer, another 15-20 before to can begin to pick it up, and then wait about 10 months for them to bring it out. It’s like 1 delivery an hour even though I could generally do 3 or 4 per 2 hours easily
I’m a spark driver in Winston-Salem NC, I had a decent order pop up for a town below me. I hop over there and the sec I pulled into the parking lot the order was gone.
Spark is NOT the same as other gig apps.. Since they've gone to 3 customers per trip, it's lowered the amount of trips per hr. Dollars to miles does not apply to Spark, when the lowered available trips per hr means you can only do 1 trip per hr, if you're lucky to get 1 every hour, when they flood your zone with drivers. If you get a $10 trip for 1 mile, does it really matter that your $ to miles is $10 a mile, if you're only making $10 hr.. I look at the pay, the miles, and the size of the orders to determine if it's worth taking. How much work will I have to do, how far do I have to drive, and how much will I make that hr. I've been using plastic storage tubs with lids for 2 yrs, it's the best way to separate orders, get the most amount of items to the door at once, and protect the customers order from sliding around the car. I have 2 in the trunk and 2 in the back seat. As long as I get a lid on 1 in the trunk, I can double stack them and carry both to the door. I can stack a case of water or soda on top of 1 and carry it to the door in 1 trip. I have a folding dolly I use for multiple cases of water or soda, or the storage tubs if they're too heavy to carry both.. I try to get everything to the door in 1 trip, so I can save time to get back for another trip. And I don't have to worry about cheap bags breaking and spaghetti sauce busting open on a customers driveway.

I live next to a Walmart. I love starting out my night with the shopping pay order or a pickup order.. depending on where that drops me I start picking up rides or door dashes... And depending on where I drop off if I'm close to a Walmart I just pop in there... In my area broken Arrow Oklahoma/Tulsa I haven't had really too bad of wait times I don't know how people drop an order and then drive right back though... Sometimes you can but if you had to come back all the time you wouldn't make nothing.. but me I like to take a 20 $30 order then start giving rides
I don't think it is, shop and delivers definitely the way to go compared to pick up IMO. But spark is great simply because anytime I go to Walmart for personal needs before I leave I turn it on and get an order basically going home. But I can usually find a 20 or $30 order to start my night Plus you get a free Walmart plus membership which is nice
I am fortunate enough to have a pretty decent market to spark in. Where i am at i am able to "change zones" with no penalties other then losing out on some incentive programs. i also live within 10 mins of at least two walmarts. both in opposite directions. i do a mix of shop and deliver, and curbside pickup. i like both in their own way. i make roughly 25-35 an hour on the app on average. i used to do doordash and instacart and i would make either way less in the same amount of time. or work way more (shopping) and not make as much. I do have this as a side hustle not a main bread maker. Best time for me to work is almost any day at around 2pm to 9pm.
I only get the good Spark shopping orders when I'm sitting in the parking lot at drop time. Don't have to wait for anyone else, usually get out of there before I could pick up a curbside anyways, unless it's a huge shop, but then it's usually $26+.
I get the gonna be late message all the time. The bad thing is the app wont let you start early. It will give you a 2-3 minite lead time at best. My Walmart averages 6-7 minutes. I am guilty of getting put and helping, because I use tubs and organizers to seperate orders and our WM assocs cant seem to grasp that idea.
I just got approved to drive today. After waiting on the waiting list for two years. I think that’s the biggest downfall about this app is the wait time to get approved I didn’t make a delivery yet I’m going to start tomorrow. I hope my market in Lafayette Louisiana is good
what do you mean by this? could you please elaborate. ive been a driver for spark since it launched in my area in august… just curious as what you mean by ur comment. ty
Me also!! Im 30 mins away ive noticed that i need to drive and sit in the parking lot to deliver all day. I estimate that i make 30 an hr. But that isnt including the time of me sitting in my car waiting for jobs to come thru
In my market, I think they flooded the market with drivers. Didn't even see any orders 2 miles from the store for a few hours yesterday on a Saturday, and couldn't even get a shot at the bonus they were offering. But I have been seeing some very nice Apple store orders on the Walmart app. Love it b/c my Apple store is fast and you can easily multiapp in the mall food court and pick up a couple Uber/DD on the way out. You can accept the orders anywhere; you just have to "start" the trip and you'll keep it. I agree you have to consider it as a filler app. You can spend crazy amounts of time commuting but DD and Uber is going to really minimize the commuting between orders and lately, there hasn't been enough Walmart offers to do it consistently and warrant driving right back to the store.
Walmart is great in my area. 4 stores in my area. The mileage typically pays $2 a mile, and sometimes more. I usually do shopping and drive orders so I don't have to worry about the wait time. I can be in and out in about 30ish minutes and the deliveries pay $20 minimum. DoorDash is pretty much fast food with no or very low tips in my area. I also do Instacart as well, but that is my filler. I like compare the orders between Spark and Instacart. I live out in the boondocks so we don't have Uber where I live.
I’m a customer not a driver. How come it won’t let me tip on the app? I have to give cash tips to the drivers because i don’t see anywhere where i’m suppose to tip? Edit: Do you drivers still make decent money even if customers aren’t able to tip on the app?
Don't sleep on the batched orders, they are easy and I sometimes end up getting cash tips. Also, the orders drop at a certain time on the hour, in my market it's 15 after. Then they drop another round for whatever didn't fly. The rest of the hour is asap orders that can be ignored. Talk about how terrible the app is. God it's the worst by far.
Mike. My experience with sams club has been terrible. Usually large bulky orders. Labels are just barcode and numbers, and they dont label all items with the order. Long wait times. Buggy orders in the system. 2 gour waits
If only drivers of all these gigs knew how much power they have they can control these companies to pay them better and respect them as sub contractors.
Spark used to pay the best. They have fallen off. So it does make more sense to use them when food delivery is slow. I say do Spark in the morning and food delivery in the evening.
I accepted a 28$ order the other day. It took 35 minutes past the pickup time for them to bring out the orders. By that time one of the orders cancelled and dropped the pay to 18. 😡
I’m quite selective with Spark orders and I don’t camp out in the lot like some drivers. If you catch the 7:20AM drop you can usually get at least two good orders in a row, which is good enough to hit many of the incentives. Incentives make it worthwhile some weeks, but some weeks have been a trainwreck with Spark and I concentrated on other apps. It seems like the app is less glitchy and I haven’t had any ghost orders recently. Best times in my market (Ann Arbor) are early morning and after 5PM… middle of the day is usually littered with crappy Sam’s Club stacks, but U might get good shop & pays.
Lol… when I see a fellow spark driver like me with this kind of situation I always laugh because information is the key to success . I’m pretty sure you haven’t upgraded your spark account 32:12 you need to upgrade your account from a private company
I got that reassign message around Thanksgiving and what sucks is that the double order was literally to my apt complex what are the odds of that. And of course I lost the order after barely accepting it.
That order is already cancelled or someone already picked it up. You’re going to get 3/4 of the way to the store pickup and I guarantee you will get a notice that the order was cancelled. I’m very suspicious of ASAP orders
@1:30 Same happened to me one time and I live (and was) less than 3 miles away from my Walmart. I actually ended up cancelling the job. And yes, I’ve been further away and accepted requests. That message turned me off to it. I was about to call it a night anyway.
That's best case scenario yes so that would eliminate the initial commuting miles but there's always the commuting miles back to the Walmart/Sam's etc. As a filler app though that would be fine.
In what we're sure will be a blow to the bottom lines at Uber Technologies Inc., DoorDash Inc. and Grubhub Inc., all three companies now have to pay New York food delivery workers at least $17.96 an hour. An appellate court in the state, on Thursday, upheld a previous ruling from September by a judge, despite attempts by the companies to overturn it. The decision had been on hold pending the court's ruling and, as a result, delivery services are now mandated to pay their couriers either a standard hourly wage or an alternative payment of approximately 50 cents per minute per delivery.
I DON'T WHERE YOU LIVE BUT IN OHIO...YEA EVERY 18 TO 21YR HAS SIGNED UP FOR SPARK AND YUP GOING ON 3 MONTH WAIT LIST TO GET ONBOARD. AND ALSO INSTACART. BUT I AM IN THERE SYSTEM AS FAR AS MY INFO AND INSURANCE.. driver's license. YUP SUCKS TO BE ME.
@@YourDriverMike I don't work for spark and I don't work for Walmart I'm an independent contractor they don't tell me what to do if I don't want them in my vehicle it's my vehicle it's not Walmart's vehicle
worst time to drive for spark. the wait times and canceled orders are a nightmare. i have canceled more orders for wait time than i have done deliveries. it is a disgrace btw, thats not 63 items. half of that is bags if you look closer at the order signature isusually if you deliver cold medicine or sometimes the customer requestts they sign because previous deliveries ended up at the wrong house spark in my market has a little popup at 10 minutes of wait time that says "you are elgible for additional earnings for wait time" they usually add $2.35 to the delivery if its over 10 minutes the only true appeal is that they arent going away. they have plenty of orders. roadie has proven to be pretty good with CVS orders. walk in,walk out in 2 minutes, always a minimum of $3/mile and CVS is all over the place
They seem to have "boiled the toad" with those S&D offers over the past year or so... They cut base pay for curbside delivery and understaffed loaders for unbearable wait. This made S&D seem glorious to the unsuspecting. In reality they just substituted wait time with shopping time for the same payout that we once received for just delivery. BRILLIANT!!! That exponential increase of S&D offers is NO coincidence, it's another of walmart 's famous _Rollbacks_ that saves staffing with no benefit to drivers. I'm sure this time next year they're gonna require you to collect a dozen carts from the lot before you depart for delivery 🤣
My wait times are almost always 20 min to 1.5 hours. It's ridiculous it makes me not even want to except anything but shop and delivers i had one make me wait 1.5 hours and than it canceled right after being ready
I hate to say it, but spark has been garbage. Ive only been on the platform for two weeks. It was great for thanksgiving week but now, i'm back to instacart.
Wth your market is crazy lol I've never seen anything over 12 stops...20?! Who the hell would accept that unless it was 60+ !? That being said unless you literally see a parking lot full of cars (happened to me 2 weeks ago. would also note was before the improved pickup feedback note) I've noticed huge wait time improvements.
Yeahh the houses as you could see in the background. Listen I don't discriminate I've been all over, good and bad areas but there is something to be said about safety as that's #1
Always great advice Mike. And as always, thank you for always being our guinea pig. By the way, and sorry to have to ask this, but what is that clip on your seat belt?
@yourDriverMike, all those offers you take is 🗑️, pretty bad.. $15 for 5.7miles👎 seriously😅.. Mike know you have to be selective🤔.. I have screenshots of orders worth taking curbside & shopping orders Curbside (7.4miles $44).. we load our car, loaders help or asked if we good as at times loaders take longer to load than we can.. Shopping order 4.5miles $31. I just saw a driver today $25 for 2.5 for a single little 32” tv..
Love your channel, but I think the commuting thing is more an issue for you because you live in an urban environment. (I've lived in Chicago/St. Louis so I totally understand the vast difference between city/suburb life in markets like that). I'm living in a small "city" these days so there are walmarts all over and it's not really a thing in my market. I've been leery of walmart because of the wait times, but the thing that has me still considering trying it is the rate-per-hour thing I have in my own mind. This market here I can't hold out for 2+ per mile all the time, so while I try for that my minimum is hitting a reasonable mileage and making at least 15-20 per hour. If walmart doesn't waste 1/3 of an hour bringing me some 12+ delivery, I might consider it because even a small UE order would hit the hourly I strive for.

Spark was the best, but I quit altogether doing gig work. Roadie is prob the best now, but still not worth it. Im in a small market though and now we are oversaturated with drivers.@@YourDriverMike
question- @YourDriverMike so, we can work at any walmart “spark” is available… but , we need to be approved to work at any other ones than the one u sign up for?! why!? how long does it take to be accepted for another store? can i just add a bunch near me & then be able to switch back and forth between the “zones” whenever i would be in that area? …. on the website in small print, or in each separate chapters on how to navigate through Spark… it doesn’t seem to say anything about the having to be “approved”. thought i wld ask you or anyone else knowing the answer to my question. TIA.

I've heard about the tubs and the wagons, do you use a wagon at all as well? Could be even easier than carrying?
i help them, load. its not worth unloading into a wagon, then unloading again. why touch it 3 times when you can touch it twice?it is rare ya get so much ya cant carry it all at once@@YourDriverMike
Bins take up too much space for my vehicle. I use two collapsible trunk organizers by Drive Auto. These make my deliveries a lot more efficient. If I have two stops, each delivery is already separated. They have carry straps so I just grab the whole thing and take it to the door. When I'm doing food delivery, I just fold up organizers.
@sb-pq8ec…
where can i get those collapsible carrying bags? this is exactly what i need’ & ive tried alot of different ways to keep separate orders & the easiest/faster way that is more efficient for me to get in & out per order. .
@YourDriverMike… i brought a wagon with me in the summer- the foldable ones … i thought i was going to use it but it was so hot i just wanted to put all on my arms & bring to the doorstep & get back into AC- but, if i work at all now throughout winter… i definitely will be using it just cus it will be better seeing its colder , etc.
I just started trying Spark. I think the appeal, at least for me in my area, is that once in a while I see higher-paying deliveries. Not most, but some...enough to motivate me to keep monitoring the app and grab one in between Dashing, etc.
In the right market or zone, Spark can be so much better than DoorDash or other apps. I live in a small town with only one Walmart. The distance from my house (which is on the opposite side of town from Walmart) to Walmart is only 2.9 miles. Most of my deliveries are 2 miles or less and pay on average $17 with tip included. Yesterday, I made 4 deliveries in 3 hours and made $122 with tips & incentives included.
I’m surprised it’s not oversaturated. Sounds like a good set up.
3 hours you made $122 and you’re happy? You not upgrade your spark account and see how you can be able to smiling everyday . My account was upgraded by a private company and up till date I am enjoying the bests offers ever 1:12
1:12?? What does that mean??@@Kelly-we5bs
@Gigmom21 1:12 what does that mean??
My main source of gig work income has been Walmart Shop and Deliver orders lately. I know longer do gig work full time, and when they wanted to start combining 3 orders into one curbside pickup they maid it almost impossible for you to do the order and get the next round robin. My Walmart also gives out the round robins at 25 in the hour and you cant pick up until 55 on the hour. I'm not going to waste 30 minutes for them. Only way I'll take a curbside is if it is ASAP, the rest of the time I'll only accept shop and delivers. Make sure to screenshot it, and look the next day to make sure a customer didn't tip bate, I've got a blacklist of people I won't accept for because they're known to do this.
Thanks for the feedback Ricky, I like the ASAP pick up strategy - makes sense since those ones are lagging behind and they need a driver ASAP as most likely the order is already pulled. My S&D experience on Spark has been okay, perhaps I'll be looking to take more of those
How long ago was that? Cause when they went to 3, my area started dropping round robins at 35 after with a 45 after pick up. A lot easier to brt back.
@Tyrianpimp a couple days ago they were still doing it in my market, maybe it was a week. I don't pay much attention to anything that doesn't have asap anymore
They're doing our round Robin at 25 for pickup at 55, I'm not gonna waste a half hour for them
I’m a customer not a driver. How come it won’t let me tip the driver on the app? I have to give cash tips to the drivers because i don’t see anywhere where i’m suppose to tip?
Mike. Go to Rochester ny. Go to store 2859. Be there 6:40 am. It will slow down around 9 am, so take a order there.
It will pick up again about 2 pm.
Focus shops
In my zone I make ALOT more with spark vs dd. A lot of afternoons I get back to back express shops and the incentives are better than anything else in my area. I usually make $1200-$1500 a week. Maybe $125 of that is gas.
You make that much from spark?
Depending on how many other drivers are waiting to be loaded and if they are caught up with orders, will determine your wait time. I don't do pick up since the stores in my area are too long. Shop and deliver is better paying too!
Walmart is literally 3 minutes from my house and like 5 minutes away from where I usually sit for my food delivery apps so it only makes sense that I would add Spark to my gig opportunities. I have 2 main problems with Spark though, 1 is locally, the other one, I’m not sure if it’s a local thing or more widespread through Spark.
First, the pickup time takes forever at my local Walmart. Even after it says the order is ready, you can still expect to wait at least 20 minutes for the order to be brought out to you.
Then, if they send me an order that I don’t like so I reject it, they will repeatedly send the same order over and over again. Sometimes, money is added and it may get to the pay that makes it worth my time to do, but often, there isn’t any additional pay so all they are doing is hurting my metrics on Spark.
I was told that the only orders that impact your acceptance rates are the ones that are directly sent to you with a timer. The ones they offer to everyone (the ones that keep coming back) do not count. It is annoying either way, if I reject, it’s usually because no boost of value would make it worth driving. Aka 20 orders, 40+ miles for $40. Haha!
@@bmills5824 if that’s true about the acceptance rate, that’s good, but as you said, it’s still annoying to see the exact same offer over and over again
I had the same order sent to me 4 times last night. My Walmarts are have been hit or miss on pickup with some being brought out right away and some taking 30 minutes. I waited 30+ minutes to return an order that was canceled on route last Wednesday. Yesterday, beside that one order sent to me 4 times, they were all shop and deliver which I like so much more because I can start as soon as I get to the store and put less miles on my vehicle. I'm in a pretty small market in Great Falls MT.
That all makes sense, yes I feel like Spark it's just wait, wait, wait -- so manly instances of that. That is just not the case on other platforms, worse case you do just 1 drop per hour
I take Spark Orders when I get off work for my W2. Probably takes about 15 min to get there, Never have had an issue
I got that message twice tonight, the minute I accepted it, then 5 minutes later they canceled it. But wait...30 minutes later they sent it back, for less money! It was a stack, 11 drops, and I rejected it 4 times. Then they canceled it, then they sent it 2 more times. I finally took it and got that warning message a second time! It's insane
Just to point out with spark if you are not at the store you will get orders that are left over, the better orders will come to you when you sit at the store
As a spark driver since 2019 I will say it's up to the driver to know how long it will take to arrive I never accept a order I know will make me late aka(OTA metric.) However, usually they give u a 15-25 minute window for schedule deliveries ASAP IS ANOTHER STORY basically gotra be right by the tmstore or start no more then 10-15 minutes after the schedule start time.
As for curbside pickup it's still the same after the update. I notice the no tip/ low item orders are ready. The longer ones are the 3 stop orders with high item count still wait 20 mins
I accepted one today that was 3 stops, one being Walmart of course and 2 deliveries. 1 order had 6 items and the other had 3. I was still at home when I accepted it, drove to the store (3 minutes from my house), and it said it was ready by the time I got there. Still waited 20-25 minutes after I arrived for a total of 9 items that were supposedly ready when I got there and there was only 1 other car in the pickup area the entire time I was there.
Nice insight thank you!
Spark is my #1 app I live 5 minutes from a Walmart so I can get 5-10 $20+ orders a day from the comfort of my home
Lol… when I see a fellow spark driver like me with this kind of situation I always laugh because information is the key to success . I’m pretty sure you haven’t upgraded your spark account 32:12
I have two Walmarts and a Sam's Club very close to my house. My first Spark order took a long time to pick up simply because the customer bought out the entire store. I'm not kidding. I drive an SUV. This order took up my entire trunk, my entire back seat, and my front passenger seat. Apparently the US Army is based in West Bloomfield Michigan.
It’s so painful when I see my fellow spark driver not getting the right informations why stressing yourself when you have every means to get your spark account upgraded to enjoy high offers such as high batches and orders
Brave man delivering to McKeesport. Any time I see those I run.
Way better than 12 months ago. Pickup times are down greatly and the tipbait problem has all but gone away.
Walmart Spark is *AMAZING* If you live in a very *NO TIP* Market.
I made around 80-100$ in my area of doordash in around 8-9 hours.
Walmart spark I make around 100-140 in about 6 hours.
If you live in a blessed market like these youtubers with tips on every order, Yeah doordash is best.,
If not, Walmart spark gave me 34$ Base pay to shop for someone's grocery order and deliver in 3.4 miles
Took around 1 hour in total.
Wait times in my area suck. After having to wait for 1 or 2 orders up to 30 minutes, I get frustrated and quit. If Walmart could hire enough employees who can run pick up efficiently, we could all make really good money.
Plus I believe they only send out orders at certain times? Or at least the pick up windows are only at certain times. Might tighter restrictions than any other platform regarding that
I got a spark order 120 miles away today 😂 it doesn’t go based on the closest Walmart just the one you signed up for
Bulk orders use to be good but now they all suck. Pay more attention to the dollars for the order I don’t pay much attention to the miles I just need the be back for the next hour. 6 miles and under you can make it back
On the late thing, it just asks you to start trip. So hit the start trip button and that takes care of it. I did have them cancel me once though, doing that.
I live 5 minutes from Walmart. So I’ll go online at home, head down there if I get a decent order, and do other apps wherever it drops me (ideally get an order that brings me back).
For the last two weeks all I have done is spark. Within Between 10 and 15 minutes. I can be at 5 different walmarts and one Sam's. Yes, sometimes they do take a little while longer with your order. But lately I have been getting paid extra for waiting. And sometimes I need that break like yesterday I did thirteen orders. Some where Pick ups and some were shopping orders. Yes, sometimes they tell you a time. You can't be there till But that's when I just click on doordash and go do a delivery real quick. Or get a quick nap, ha ha.
If only you know what you’re missing form spark because you haven’t upgraded your account
I really like Spark, but….
You’ll wait generally about 10-20 min to get your first order, delivery it and then not get another order until you return.
Once you return, you’ll generally wait 10-20 to get an offer, another 15-20 before to can begin to pick it up, and then wait about 10 months for them to bring it out. It’s like 1 delivery an hour even though I could generally do 3 or 4 per 2 hours easily
I’m a spark driver in Winston-Salem NC, I had a decent order pop up for a town below me. I hop over there and the sec I pulled into the parking lot the order was gone.
That's why I don't pick up walmart orders on uber eats the wait time is too long
Spark is NOT the same as other gig apps.. Since they've gone to 3 customers per trip, it's lowered the amount of trips per hr. Dollars to miles does not apply to Spark, when the lowered available trips per hr means you can only do 1 trip per hr, if you're lucky to get 1 every hour, when they flood your zone with drivers. If you get a $10 trip for 1 mile, does it really matter that your $ to miles is $10 a mile, if you're only making $10 hr.. I look at the pay, the miles, and the size of the orders to determine if it's worth taking. How much work will I have to do, how far do I have to drive, and how much will I make that hr. I've been using plastic storage tubs with lids for 2 yrs, it's the best way to separate orders, get the most amount of items to the door at once, and protect the customers order from sliding around the car. I have 2 in the trunk and 2 in the back seat. As long as I get a lid on 1 in the trunk, I can double stack them and carry both to the door. I can stack a case of water or soda on top of 1 and carry it to the door in 1 trip. I have a folding dolly I use for multiple cases of water or soda, or the storage tubs if they're too heavy to carry both.. I try to get everything to the door in 1 trip, so I can save time to get back for another trip. And I don't have to worry about cheap bags breaking and spaghetti sauce busting open on a customers driveway.

I put the all the Walmart bags inside my big GrubHub catering bag to carry them to the house. It saves me trips
I've bought like 5 Catering bags myself for this exact reason. Sparks has been my primary gig for a long time now.
@@rickyd172 Spark deactivated me so I just do Walmart through Uber
Hm I do have my catering bag good idea
I picked up a order at Walmart the people were complaining about the wait times but within 5 minutes I was gone
Be honest because I’m tired of so many spark drivers not getting the latest information on time . Can I ask are you really enjoying spark ?
You can accept the order and still deliver it. They just want you to start trip and use navigation to know where you are in route.
It seems you haven’t upgraded your speak account
I live next to a Walmart. I love starting out my night with the shopping pay order or a pickup order.. depending on where that drops me I start picking up rides or door dashes... And depending on where I drop off if I'm close to a Walmart I just pop in there... In my area broken Arrow Oklahoma/Tulsa I haven't had really too bad of wait times I don't know how people drop an order and then drive right back though... Sometimes you can but if you had to come back all the time you wouldn't make nothing.. but me I like to take a 20 $30 order then start giving rides
See maybe I need to look more at Spark S&D, now would you say it's the best S&D offers of all platforms?
I don't think it is, shop and delivers definitely the way to go compared to pick up IMO. But spark is great simply because anytime I go to Walmart for personal needs before I leave I turn it on and get an order basically going home. But I can usually find a 20 or $30 order to start my night Plus you get a free Walmart plus membership which is nice
In my market I’ve found shopping and delivering is top dollar. Not doing pick ups for three drop offs now for what used to be two drop offs.
And for work, do you need to undergo photo control and how often?
I am fortunate enough to have a pretty decent market to spark in. Where i am at i am able to "change zones" with no penalties other then losing out on some incentive programs. i also live within 10 mins of at least two walmarts. both in opposite directions. i do a mix of shop and deliver, and curbside pickup. i like both in their own way. i make roughly 25-35 an hour on the app on average. i used to do doordash and instacart and i would make either way less in the same amount of time. or work way more (shopping) and not make as much. I do have this as a side hustle not a main bread maker. Best time for me to work is almost any day at around 2pm to 9pm.
I only get the good Spark shopping orders when I'm sitting in the parking lot at drop time. Don't have to wait for anyone else, usually get out of there before I could pick up a curbside anyways, unless it's a huge shop, but then it's usually $26+.
I get the gonna be late message all the time. The bad thing is the app wont let you start early. It will give you a 2-3 minite lead time at best. My Walmart averages 6-7 minutes. I am guilty of getting put and helping, because I use tubs and organizers to seperate orders and our WM assocs cant seem to grasp that idea.
You just need to upgrade your account from a private company and thank me later
I just got approved to drive today. After waiting on the waiting list for two years. I think that’s the biggest downfall about this app is the wait time to get approved I didn’t make a delivery yet I’m going to start tomorrow. I hope my market in Lafayette Louisiana is good
Congratulations anyways , have you gotten the master software as a spark driver? I’m sure you haven’t
@princeair7782 it’s the software that will be given to your when you upgrade your spark account from a private agent
what do you mean by this? could you please elaborate. ive been a driver for spark since it launched in my area in august… just curious as what you mean by ur comment. ty
I would contact the party and advise them where you are and your on your way to the pickup.
Spark is just goofy. I just do it how I want. I pull all kinds of stuff but they keep sending me offers. My AR is about 1%
Me also!! Im 30 mins away ive noticed that i need to drive and sit in the parking lot to deliver all day. I estimate that i make 30 an hr. But that isnt including the time of me sitting in my car waiting for jobs to come thru
What is tip baking y'all I'm new to the Dash Uber etc
In my market, I think they flooded the market with drivers. Didn't even see any orders 2 miles from the store for a few hours yesterday on a Saturday, and couldn't even get a shot at the bonus they were offering.
But I have been seeing some very nice Apple store orders on the Walmart app. Love it b/c my Apple store is fast and you can easily multiapp in the mall food court and pick up a couple Uber/DD on the way out.
You can accept the orders anywhere; you just have to "start" the trip and you'll keep it.
I agree you have to consider it as a filler app. You can spend crazy amounts of time commuting but DD and Uber is going to really minimize the commuting between orders and lately, there hasn't been enough Walmart offers to do it consistently and warrant driving right back to the store.
It was a missed order from the last round robin.
You are right about that start immediately for spark
It is over 30 minutes waiting time in California for a pickup it's not worth my time
Is because you are not current with the latest information and update about spark
If I'm not close I never take ASAP because that's the only time I get those "late delivery" messages.
Walmart is great in my area. 4 stores in my area. The mileage typically pays $2 a mile, and sometimes more. I usually do shopping and drive orders so I don't have to worry about the wait time. I can be in and out in about 30ish minutes and the deliveries pay $20 minimum. DoorDash is pretty much fast food with no or very low tips in my area. I also do Instacart as well, but that is my filler. I like compare the orders between Spark and Instacart. I live out in the boondocks so we don't have Uber where I live.
I’m a customer not a driver. How come it won’t let me tip on the app? I have to give cash tips to the drivers because i don’t see anywhere where i’m suppose to tip?
Edit: Do you drivers still make decent money even if customers aren’t able to tip on the app?
The bags have a trick with how you place your fingers
Also. Spark pays you more if you wait too long
It’s not always guaranteed sometimes the app says it will pay & it doesn’t
What does it mean 1 stop but two pick ups?
Don't sleep on the batched orders, they are easy and I sometimes end up getting cash tips. Also, the orders drop at a certain time on the hour, in my market it's 15 after. Then they drop another round for whatever didn't fly. The rest of the hour is asap orders that can be ignored.
Talk about how terrible the app is. God it's the worst by far.
I don’t take any orders under $20.00 I like orders $27.00 and up because that’s all your going to make for the hour
Exactly, with all their wait times and the commuting miles you might just have that single drop in the hour
Mike. My experience with sams club has been terrible.
Usually large bulky orders.
Labels are just barcode and numbers, and they dont label all items with the order.
Long wait times.
Buggy orders in the system.
2 gour waits
Spark is my main source of income. It's great in my market. dd and uber eats are 💩 in my area
Why don't you start your trip from New Mexico😅
ETA: 22 hours "this order may be delivered late" lol
If only drivers of all these gigs knew how much power they have they can control these companies to pay them better and respect them as sub contractors.
They gotta make money door dash and grub hub be losing money every year
Spark used to pay the best. They have fallen off. So it does make more sense to use them when food delivery is slow. I say do Spark in the morning and food delivery in the evening.
Lol. Is because you haven’t gotten the latest update on spark delivery that’s why
I accepted a 28$ order the other day. It took 35 minutes past the pickup time for them to bring out the orders. By that time one of the orders cancelled and dropped the pay to 18. 😡
I’m quite selective with Spark orders and I don’t camp out in the lot like some drivers. If you catch the 7:20AM drop you can usually get at least two good orders in a row, which is good enough to hit many of the incentives. Incentives make it worthwhile some weeks, but some weeks have been a trainwreck with Spark and I concentrated on other apps. It seems like the app is less glitchy and I haven’t had any ghost orders recently. Best times in my market (Ann Arbor) are early morning and after 5PM… middle of the day is usually littered with crappy Sam’s Club stacks, but U might get good shop & pays.
Lol… when I see a fellow spark driver like me with this kind of situation I always laugh because information is the key to success . I’m pretty sure you haven’t upgraded your spark account 32:12 you need to upgrade your account from a private company
I got that reassign message around Thanksgiving and what sucks is that the double order was literally to my apt complex what are the odds of that. And of course I lost the order after barely accepting it.
Thanks for sharing, when I deliver near or at my apt it makes for a convenient bathroom break!
I would never take that $15.00 order.
That order is already cancelled or someone already picked it up. You’re going to get 3/4 of the way to the store pickup and I guarantee you will get a notice that the order was cancelled. I’m very suspicious of ASAP orders
Knock on wood never got a Spark order cancellation
i got 3 in a row canceled on saturday. WHILE I WAS SITTING THE WALMART PARKING LOT FOR 1 1/2hours!!!!!!!!@@YourDriverMike
Just press start delivery. You will be ok.
@1:30 Same happened to me one time and I live (and was) less than 3 miles away from my Walmart.
I actually ended up cancelling the job. And yes, I’ve been further away and accepted requests. That message turned me off to it. I was about to call it a night anyway.
I’ve never done Walmart spark but Walmart is the closest store to my house
Do you not see the appeal of it even if you live 2 or 3 miles from a few different Walmarts?
That's best case scenario yes so that would eliminate the initial commuting miles but there's always the commuting miles back to the Walmart/Sam's etc. As a filler app though that would be fine.
In what we're sure will be a blow to the bottom lines at Uber Technologies Inc., DoorDash Inc. and Grubhub Inc., all three companies now have to pay New York food delivery workers at least $17.96 an hour.
An appellate court in the state, on Thursday, upheld a previous ruling from September by a judge, despite attempts by the companies to overturn it. The decision had been on hold pending the court's ruling and, as a result, delivery services are now mandated to pay their couriers either a standard hourly wage or an alternative payment of approximately 50 cents per minute per delivery.
I DON'T WHERE YOU LIVE BUT IN OHIO...YEA EVERY 18 TO 21YR HAS SIGNED UP FOR SPARK AND YUP GOING ON 3 MONTH WAIT LIST TO GET ONBOARD. AND ALSO INSTACART. BUT I AM IN THERE SYSTEM AS FAR AS MY INFO AND INSURANCE.. driver's license. YUP SUCKS TO BE ME.

worst time to drive for spark. the wait times and canceled orders are a nightmare. i have canceled more orders for wait time than i have done deliveries. it is a disgrace
btw, thats not 63 items. half of that is bags if you look closer at the order
signature isusually if you deliver cold medicine or sometimes the customer requestts they sign because previous deliveries ended up at the wrong house
spark in my market has a little popup at 10 minutes of wait time that says "you are elgible for additional earnings for wait time" they usually add $2.35 to the delivery if its over 10 minutes
the only true appeal is that they arent going away. they have plenty of orders.
roadie has proven to be pretty good with CVS orders. walk in,walk out in 2 minutes, always a minimum of $3/mile and CVS is all over the place
Thanks for the info man it's not looking like worth while to me except as an occasional filler app👍 🚛
They seem to have "boiled the toad" with those S&D offers over the past year or so...
They cut base pay for curbside delivery and understaffed loaders for unbearable wait. This made S&D seem glorious to the unsuspecting. In reality they just substituted wait time with shopping time for the same payout that we once received for just delivery. BRILLIANT!!!
That exponential increase of S&D offers is NO coincidence, it's another of walmart 's famous _Rollbacks_ that saves staffing with no benefit to drivers.
I'm sure this time next year they're gonna require you to collect a dozen carts from the lot before you depart for delivery 🤣
Hello Mike from San Francisco. T-boned I’m April looking for another vehicle.
That's a long time to be looking
My wait times are almost always 20 min to 1.5 hours. It's ridiculous it makes me not even want to except anything but shop and delivers i had one make me wait 1.5 hours and than it canceled right after being ready
It must have been a very high paying order to wait over 30min🤯..
@@jb2nx6 it was $54 which is high pay for our Walmart

The wait times have improved.
The pay has gone down

That being said unless you literally see a parking lot full of cars (happened to me 2 weeks ago. would also note was before the improved pickup feedback note) I've noticed huge wait time improvements.
5 hours later I get offered a 19 stop order
I get offers with 15 to 20 stops everyday in my area alot of miles usually 35 to 50 miles and 30 to 60 bucks is not enough for that

If you live 30 mins from walmart dont do spark
Love your channel, but I think the commuting thing is more an issue for you because you live in an urban environment. (I've lived in Chicago/St. Louis so I totally understand the vast difference between city/suburb life in markets like that). I'm living in a small "city" these days so there are walmarts all over and it's not really a thing in my market. I've been leery of walmart because of the wait times, but the thing that has me still considering trying it is the rate-per-hour thing I have in my own mind. This market here I can't hold out for 2+ per mile all the time, so while I try for that my minimum is hitting a reasonable mileage and making at least 15-20 per hour. If walmart doesn't waste 1/3 of an hour bringing me some 12+ delivery, I might consider it because even a small UE order would hit the hourly I strive for.
