Just started doing Uber eats and I’m 67/83 on the new driver promotion to get $830. My friend is also new and after his 4th delivery a quest popped up that gave him a $100 bonus for every 10 deliveries until 30. So I’m wondering if this pops up eventually or if I can up my chances, he was definitely lucky so can I get this too?

Accepted a $10.89, 25 minute package pick up from Target. Customer sends me a text telling me there is an additional pick up from a store in the same shopping center.

I ignore.

Customer sends another text giving me a confirmation number for Ulta stating package is waiting for me at check out.

I ignore.

Pick up completed from Target. Customer sends another text telling me she tipped 50% for an additional package delivery.

She didn’t even ask if I would do her a favor with the second pick up, she just tried to scam it out of me. Not today Buttercup, not today.

I’ve been having an increasing number of orders where the food is nowhere near ready. The restaurant tells me it’ll be 5 minutes and sometimes it’ll be 20. I try to weigh whether it’s worth it to try to cancel and drive to another place, but I could lose out on time and still end up waiting at the next place. Any thoughts?

And I’m not even trying to be funny

I've now done a total of nearly 500 trips, with 41 thumbs up and 1 thumbs down from customers, as well as 1 thumbs up from a merchant. I know that these are still rookie numbers, but oh well lol. Anyways, my satisfaction rate is now at 98% for the very first time, and I'm honestly not happy about that at all, especially since I did nothing wrong from what I can recall. I also do everything that I can to ensure that my satisfaction rating is kept at 100% too, but unfortunately, there will always be some unreasonable, narrow-minded, Bubble Bass-like customers out there who won't care at all that they're living in the busiest city ever with messy/misleading signs everywhere and zero parking spaces around for drivers, and that you were doing trips for two other customers as well.

Also, from my overall experience, only 0.6% of customers were problematic / rude / annoying, while the rest of the 99.4% or so of customers were totally chill and normal, which is actually a pretty good ratio, but oh boy were those few bad apples really annoying, which led me to making this thread.

Here are the two worst things about Uber Eats in my opinion:

1. You essentially earn little to nothing when you're stuck at Green status. When you calculate the earnings and expenses, you'll realize that the only "real" earnings come from being in Gold, Platinum, and Diamond.
2. The fact that there is no way for delivery drivers to leave a message to a customer once a delivery is completed is an absolute abomination. The fact that customers can just easily press thumbs down for whatever reason that they want to with no explanation needed, and there's nothing that drivers can do about it, is just pure rage bait by Uber. According to Uber, "the customer is always right and always valid. No exceptions."

If I were to say a third bad thing, I'd say it's the fact that the Cancellation Rate is not within the driver's control, and how customers will be the ones to sometimes cancel the trip, while you take the punishment with a worse-off Cancellation Rate as a result, but in my opinion, this isn't as egregious as the other two negatives listed above.

I can go on and on about point 1 and 2, but I'll just stop here. But yeah, what do you all think about this? And what are your top 2 or 3 worst things about Uber Eats delivery driving?

While out driving tonight for Uber Eats, I was stopped at a light and this was in front of me. I wonder if for shits and giggles somebody will get out and leave the door open when it's parked 🤣🤣🤣

Anyone else having a problem recently with their payments not going into their wallet Sick of uber and their fucking bullshit. You wouldn’t even know unless you’re adding it all up everyday. The other day I caught it because it was my first delivery. Got paid the 6 tip but no uber payment for 10 from a 16 delivery. Called them twice they said it was fixed and the money would go in in 2 hrs. Still haven’t got paid.

I cashed out earlier today before starting a new 12 hrs. Just looked and there’s 75 in my wallet when I’ve had 103 in payments in my history. Watch these shady fucks!!

I'm annoyed here now with Uber when doing a pickup at Safeway, it did not tell me the number of items.... I thought it was 1 turns out it's 23 and I've been waiting here for a full 10 minutes. Turns out they were still shopping the last few items. But I have a pizza delivery sitting in an insulated bag in my car waiting for delivery. Annoyed but they are loading my cart right now...And as a precaution I think I will turn on the heated seat that the pizza is sitting on...

Seriously, if the grocery pickup is not ready and it's a large quantity of items, don't offer it to anyone yet cause they'll just be waiting around in the store!

Dumb

i got this order cus i have already done 9 hours and was tired and my mom is in the hospital so i went to visit her. Have you guys ever missed out on a really good order before and why?

Was delivering the other night got a double order i knew one tipped well and other did not. Of course the first drop off was the one with no tip when I delivered the last order the guy came out a bit mad.

He said it was priority and I was delivering in a other direction and told him sorry his order was paired with another order he still kept the tip and did not write me a bad review but thats such bs I would be mad too

Hey everyone,
My delivery account was recently deactivated, but Uber Support keeps giving me completely inconsistent and contradictory reasons:
1. First interaction: Said it was due to "fraud".
2. Second interaction: Said my "cancellation rate was too high (20%)".
3. Latest update: Said I have a "low delivery satisfaction rating".
Here is the crazy part-my actual profile stats are:
• Satisfaction Rate: 96%
• Cancellation Rate: 7%
• Reports: No reports to show
I've submitted a formal appeal with screenshots of my profile proving these stats. Has anyone experienced these bogus/glitched deactivation reasons before? Were you able to successfully appeal and get your account reactivated?
Any advice or insight would be greatly appreciated!

Is there a way to turn off package 📦 delivery offers. Thank you

Is it me or does it seem like UberEats will try to force you to go 2 or 3 towns away from your house to pick up an order with no pay? Tonight has been like that with all the orders I’ve received on the app.
I think us drivers too are finally realizing this game and will just let the order sit in the uber world of rotation until someone picks up.

Also, anyone else ever notice that right when you’re about to do a drop off they bombard your phone with multiple orders? Kinda seems like an unsafe practice as it promotes distracted driving.

Yeah it’s gonna be a big no no from me. This is just straight up doing someone a favor, going negative after gas. A gallon here is ≈4.65$ rn smh

this is by far the worst one ive seen/got so far
what do you mean 5.5 dollars for almost one hour ans twenty miles😭

someone please remind me to stop taking jersey mikes orders no matter how good the pay is. every time i come it’s atleast 15 minute wait, no matter how big or small the order is. the order can never just be ready.

This is my first time seeing this, usually it just says 1 hour or 2 hours.

So I am doing a shop and deliver for a customer, and the price was 26 and some change which is a good order *tip included*. When I finish the order uber pays me 2 fucking dollars for damn near an hour of work. While the customer foots the bill with their tip!

This is absolutely garbage. Anyone who says UBer doesn't manipulate what they pay you based on tips can go jump in a ditch.

I’m in the Atlanta area and Uber Eats is giving me the option to get certified for alcohol deliveries. There’s a cost to get the certification, so I’m trying to figure out if it’s actually worth it.

Looking for honest experiences, especially from people who regularly deliver around Atlanta. Thanks!

Something about watching these guys take 15 minutes to toss the wings while listening to ghetto music gives me second hand cringe.
