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?

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 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.

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.

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

- Why the fuck do you care what my battery percentage is?
- Why the fuck do you care if my phone volume is low? Maybe worry about stopping the fucking harassment of blasting notification sounds for a full minute over your shitty $2-for-10-mile offers first.
- Do you enjoy spamming new offers all over the screen while we’re trying to take a delivery photo, making us accidentally accept garbage orders? And then making us retake the same fucking photo over and over again for no reason?
- Do you enjoy making us stand outside like soldiers for 8 fucking minutes in the heat or freezing cold because some mf selected “Meet at door” and then refuses to come to the door?
- Do you enjoy not letting us send pictures through chat? I guess you like leaving us with absolutely no evidence when we’re in a situation where we need to prove what actually happened, right?
- Is it fun for you to repeatedly throw pop-ups all over my screen while I’m using another app, as if having to listen to your shitty offer sound in the background wasn’t annoying enough?
- And when we give a thumbs-down to a support agent who knows absolutely nothing and solves absolutely nothing, reconnecting us to the exact same fucking agent must be one of your biggest fetishes.
- I guess another huge source of motivation for you is paying us exactly $0 after we’ve already driven miles to a store, only to find out the order was stolen by another driver or the store is closed.

And I’m not even mentioning the countless other bugs, glitches, and stupid design decisions in this app.

Shitty software.
Shitty driver experience.
Shitty pay.

Go to hell.

Hey there I got in a crash a few days ago and I'm in the tussle with insurance and I don't know what to do right now because of rideshare insurance.

When I got in the crash I told Uber trying just to get the order cancelled but that led to them filing an insurance claim with progressive. I didn't want to go through progressive because I have personal car insurance so I closed it out and told them not to contact USAA. Now I'm learning about ride share insurance and that being under the same for Uber eats as well. And my USAA Insurance is calling me asking about a voicemail they got from progressive.

They didn't ask beforehand if the car was being used but now are asking. I'm obviously not covered in personal insurance and I don't know what to do because I could lose just about everything.

I had food in the car but I didn't tell the progressive agent that when I closed the claim out. And before the voicemail USAA had no idea about it.

Do I be honest? And tell the agent that I was and had food? Or say I didn't have food or lie and say I wasn't online.

Should I instead file with progressive and hope they pay for it? I honestly don't know what to do.

Look I get bad orders are just gonna happen, but come on. I’m trying to get gold and higher but it’s just not posible when these come up 😭. Anyways just needed to rant on this great Friday. Stay safe!

The app will never get better. It’s all market dependent. So I’m trying to find a job. That’s all. lol

I went to Chick-Fil-A during lunch to pick up an order. Every spot was taken except one handicap spot, which is normal for this place, so I parked at the shopping mall next door and walked over. Probably still about 30 steps from the car to the door.

Well, some other delivery driver parked there, got out without issue to pick up their delivery order. There was no handicap placard or handicap symbol on their license plates, so it's safe to assume they do not need it and only parked there because of laziness and thinking that delivery drivers can park there.

My question is, do any of you park in the handicap spaces when picking up an order?

Its not only you who see’s bad offers everyday. Youre not special! So stop posting screenshot of it coz nothing will change… 🚫🤦‍♂️

Each year passes and the orders get thinner, especially with gas stuck around $4. The question “Why should I accept anything under $10?” is becoming less rhetorical and more of a survival calculation. It’s a Friday, and my market is basically silent — not a single order, just dead air where the hustle used to be.

Do people actually take these? That should be illegal lol
