When are drivers going to learn that low tipping customers are generally broke people that should not be using a luxury/convenience service to begin with & are definitely more likely to complain & cost you an income stream. Not effing worth it. No way I'd take that order.
Some Walmarts have Spark lanes for us. I go by the minutes, how long it will take, and miles. One thing I love about Spark is that customers can't add on items on shop and delivery orders. Love that
@ watch out for the customer verification required notice too… they are now throwing in drivers licenses rather than four digit pins and the drivers license takes time. If you can’t scan it you gotta type all the numbers in.
Great video as always. 🔥 Thanks for sharing your work day with us. I always feel like I learned something from your videos and/or the comments. It's such a great community!
Generally most here are $4 a mile and up. However when you have to drive back to the same store you have double miles so you make about 2 bucks generally on average. Little less on the package drop offs but I think they are worth it most times as long as it ends you close to your area again that you are currently working.
For shopping orders basically items plus mileage has to be under dollar amount for me to take a shopping order. For curbside pickup. I honestly try for at least 2.5 dollar per mile and 25 dollar min. I prefer shopping orders. Can honestly get close to 2 shopping orders done every half hour if there short distance and less then 10 items.
0:46 it's called shipt and it's amazing... unfortunately it's full in most markets. My wife works for target. No tips til after delivery but she says the shipt shoppers are very happy
For anyone using mileage as a metric stop. It doesnt show on your dash summary. Why do you think that is? Do you think doordash maybe doesnt list your mileage in the summary because its not accurate? How many dashers would drop the platform if they knew how many miles they actually drove for each order.
Cherry pick (and do research yourself) I get up to 5 dollars a mile. 3 is common. Nothing accepted below 2.... your often times driving back without a buffer, like dd. Dont give them the return miles for free. If you are multi app it may be a different story. You can maybe get an order on dd or ue going out or back to mitigate costs. Check morning and night for order types and patterns... i get a few bangers in early am. Most of the better jobs and volume come after 4pm. Make about 100 bucks in 4 hours a day, like chuck... please enjoy
I have been sick with the flu bug going around it was the worse . I’m better but still not ready to go out doordashing just yet …. Yall be safe out there . I will definitely be wearing my mask when I do go back out …
Hi Charlie👋 - I don't know if you thought about this, but as a WM+ customer I've noticed it. Alot of the sparkers who deliver to me either have one of those big plastic totes or a foldable wagon they use to transport the bigger orders. I just thought I'd share this idea when I saw all that pop (soda - its an Ohio thing). I thought maybe it would make delivering easier for ya. ☺️ Happy Humpday!! (as I visualize that silly camel...) later. lol
I am not on spark yet (I hope to be soon) but I don't care about $/mile as much as I care about what my hourly rate will be after fuel costs. As long as I'm making $20/hr+ the cost of fuel I'm okay. I usually find I put about 55-70 miles on my car for every $100+fuel I make tho. there are sometimes orders that I put 26 miles round trip on my car to make $25 that take me an hour total to complete but after fuel cost I still made $21 for that hour so it's fine.
@@xerowolf4242 you should try to reserve funds for taxes and potential vehicle repairs. $2 a mile or more helps offsets those costs. Without your vehicle, you have no income.
@charlesbennick9161 ...but we also don't get the multiple orders for shop and deliver. It's one order at a time here unless you're doing a general merchandise pick-up or a regular grocery pick-up. It's interesting to see the way different markets operate.
Are you kidding? Spark has more issues. The app just completely going down, more ID Verification problems for legit drivers, the app just crashing to a white screen during shopping orders, etc...
On spark, I go for about 2/mile ideally and usually try to get shops but there are exceptions. Shopping, for the most part, offers more money per mile than pickup. Also, I'm not a fan of doing triple batches unless it is paying above $30 and if I can complete it before the next round robin. I spark in two different cities in my area. Usually Saturdays in one city and Sunday in another. Each city has its perks, one usually has higher offers, but not consistent while the other city is more consistent but lower offers due to higher population in that area. An exception that I might take an offer under 2/mile would be that the destination would be on the way to where I need to go anyway, possibly completing an incentive, or just tired of sitting in my car doing nothing.
I love your videos Man! Never been a fan of those accepting every order videos, just useless drama. I like your videos just your daily deliveries. Truly realistic. When it comes to Walmart spark orders I'm mainly looking at how long it would take to complete and can I make it back for the next drop. And it should be at least 20 something bucks
$11.61 for 5.5 miles is not an ideal order? That would be the best order I have seen in quite a while 20 miles north of Pittsburgh. Came back out to do a few orders and nothing has changed.
It depends for me (re: what I accept) it depends on my mood and traffic. I don’t take horrible orders, but if there’s an incentive I may take one I’d not usually do if the distance is short. I try to cap shopping at 15 items but I can sometimes get talked into a 20-24 items. Lastly I’ll do groceries but don’t have the McPatience for clothes shopping.
I started Spark about 3 weeks ago, haven't had an advanced auto parts store yet... have you? I'm interested to find out the base pay on the misc places.
@@travism1975 we have no option here in NJ. It’s the reusable cloth/plastic or nothing. They took our disposable plastic and paper bags away a few years ago.
Same in Washington state, at least western Washington it’s paper or nothing. They’ve also increased the number of items prepacked in plastic. It makes no sense
It just depends. If it's like 2-4 items or less per order for shop or curbside one drop I'll do it if it's less than 2-3 miles. If no tip. Because it's quick and easy. But if it's 2 or more drops and no tip then nope. I like to see 2 a mile and a tip for the most part. Only time do a no tip if it's a shop for less than 5 items and close to store. My store typically goes no further than 12 miles out. And most that are further out tip okay to great. Also I don't do apartments with heavy items. I don't do over 2 packs of water. Now if they tip like 40 bucks for a bunch of water...maybe. But you rarely see that. Now the other stores in my zone can have orders going as much as 20 mi. I wouldn't take those ones unless it were paid minimum of 60. XL orders I want minimum of 30-45 depending on heavy items and miles. If it's just normal full shopping w lots of duplicates and nothing excessively heavy I'll do 30 and 10 mi or less I'll do that. See lots of variables.
This is the same thing too for those that do instacart! Even fetch will catch it and WILL take away all your points and report you to whatever gig app you are using.
I've almost switched it to a viewpoint of, "how much will this make me in an hour". The dollar to mile ratio is much higher than doordash and uber so I almost ignore the dollar to mile ratio to some degree. I still think the $2:1mile is the minimum, but I mainly factor in distance, drop off location, pay/hr on that trip and guesstimate how long it will take for me to get back in an hour.
Accidentally accepted a 16+ mile out-of-zone Dash at 2 AM this morning (remote Whidbey Island). Total ~$8 ($4.5 DD $3.5 Tip). I called DD afterwards and have a complaint number. Will anything happen?
I mean isn't it your fault for "accidentally " accepting an out of zone order? Not sure why doordash would do anything about it, i get sent customer orders all the time where their delivery address is 5-8miles past the red outlined area on the map, you could've just unassigned the order
@markjohnson1207 Fair. I get it. I didn't realize the distance until I confirmed pickup and then could gain access the delivery address. I've been doing this for three days now. Just scored platinum last night. I was getting consistent late night orders and was just working volume. Normally on a 5-mile route in BFE I'm getting ~$12 (w/DD paying at least $1/mile). In-town routes pay better. My best so far ~1 mile for $15 on a late-night small order fast food. Happy Dashing!
@@webanon you don't have to have confirmed picked up to have the ability to see the customers address, you're able to see the address of the customer once you have hit the arrived at store button
I try not to accept anything less than 20$, and of course it has to be at least 2$ per mile. Most of the time, it's much better than 2$ per mile. But you have to take into account how long it will take the store to get it out to you, how much actual work it is and if it's a shopping order it's gotta meet that same criteria. Or has to be at least 15$ and a really fast one. But also look out for things behind lock and key. If you catch a shopping one first thing in the morning, those people in those departments aren't there until 7 here. It's a major pain. Especially at shift change times. And those curbside pick up orders. Most of the time here they start dropping at 30 past the hr. And the vast majority will take you about 35-45 minutes. Gotta try to get back around the store, or another one, in time to start seeing the better batched delivery offers. Or whatever time that you figure out that those orders are dropping in your area. You really should try to manage your time around that. In my opinion.
Yep, until you build a customer base and figure out who the tippers and non tippers are. It's a gamble early on. I've shopped multiple orders at Target going to same general area and that makes it pretty profitable as long as 1 of 2 customers tip.
If an order is paying $30 for 11 miles, but only has a $3 tip, WHO CARES! It's still $30.
You're gonna get a pissy customer. They've been waiting for over an hour for someone to take the order. 😂

Didn’t realize it was target exclusive. When I was in Nebraska and did Hy-Vee grocery orders the receipt for doordash always said shipt 🤔
For the record, Spark does advanced auto parts, Sally beauty supply, Home Depot, Game Stop and others they don’t only do Walmart.
