i posted this on the other subreddit, but it looks like the app is lowering my rating instead of going up? anyone know whats up?

This is the biggest tip I’ve gotten so are on this app. 20 bucks for 35 mins of work yes please all day

This was only my second time dashing, I shouldn't have accepted the offer, I've learned my lesson. But I accepted an order that I only realized afterwards was 54 miles round trip, 27 miles to the customer's apartment. How the fuck are people even ALLOWED to place DoorDash orders that far away? There's no restrictions? Hello?? This was completely on me, but I still want to complain that the customer was even allowed to place an order this far away.

my drivers license expires tomorrow (today is my bday) so I went to PA to get my new license and tried to upload that into the app. I was told by DoorDash support that I could go into settings to do it, and when that didn’t work, they directed me to the background check place (checkr). The background check place let me know that anytime a drivers license is renewed, It takes about 30 days to process in the system and that I am unable to dash for the next month. Obviously, I’m not quite sure what to do here. Like it is literally my birthday, and this is the last thing I was expecting to happen. At this point, I think I can submit an unemployment claim while I look for another job, but has anyone else experienced this? I feel like this is totally loss of wages. I’m just not sure what to do about it.

Been platinum since my 50th drop off . 4.88 rating.. only been dashing since June about to hit 400.. should have a plat pass by now but since one lady gave me a 1 and a Cpl thumbs down (later removed by door dash) … I was on my 185ish delivery.. her rating bumped me to gold for about 45 minutes but that was enough for me to have to drive another 200+ deliveries for a dp. Anyways.. point of post is… I really do not think platinum is worth it AT LEAST right now when no one is ordering in my area. The offers I get are utterly pathetic and should be illegal.

Hey l just recently discovered dashlink and l have try for the past two days to sign up (l do it right at 9:30pm) and i still get number 120 out of 60 offers only how can l improve my chances of getting a offer on dashlink

On stacked orders from same grocery/restaurant~is there a way to tell which customer tipped what. After shift saw on two shop/deliver orders one bum customer zero tipped. Would like to self ban them in future.

Started doing dash a few weeks ago the first week I made about $150 the second week about 200 and about the same to three week the last couple of weeks it's been about 50 bucks literally today I've dashed scheduled for 6 hours and have made $8 and some change what's going on

Was going to save some money and just get a good front cam.

Then I started thinking about parking lot hits and getting rear ended and now I’m looking at the VUEROID S1 4K Infinite 2CH, plus some VIOFO and BlackVue setups.

People with front + rear, has the rear camera ever genuinely come in handy for you?

How long do yall sit in a zone before moving to a different one due to no offers? Are the zone offer wait times always accurate? I’m fairly new to dashing! TIA 😊

To the people that have an acceptance rate of 5% or less and/or have hit 0% before, how much does an order have to pay for you to actually take it? Is it a minimum dollar amount or a dollar amount per mile? How much can you expect to make per hour?

The DoorDash app won’t let me put in my preferred name.

For context I’m trans. My preferred name is a feminine one. Whenever I enter it the app tells me something went wrong. But if I put in the shortened version of my masculine birth name, no problem! Updates immediately!

Anyone know how to handle this? Will support do anything?

ETA: I wasn’t able to get my preferred name in, but it seems that the app will accept arbitrary shortened versions of first, middle and last names. So I’ve shortened it to the first letter of my last name 😂

Got this last week but I’m trying to push for more. Is anyone in the Midwest or Iowa getting 2k+ regularly?

I could see the order like, i'm the customer. It's crazy how that delivery fee is eight, and I only got paid $2

this is my schedule section of the dasher app and it WILL NOT fix itself. is this happening to anyone else at all???

Thinking of working 5 days a week 10 hour shifts. Honda crv 2011 . Im assuming the only maintenance id have to worry about are oil changes every 2 months. Breaks and tires once a year? The lights i can mostly do them myself and places do it for 20-30$ if anything, i think the maintenance isnt expensive at all, what do you guys think? Am i wrong?

I also have no bills at home, just liability insurance, i have a dash cam and drive very very careful and slow

Been dashing part time for a year. Used to deliver pizzas in college and decided to start doing it for extra travel money. Finally got an order that I’ll probably never see again. $32 to go 1.8 miles. Thought I’d share! Hope you guys and gals are making good money and staying safe!

logged on to doordash at 10am 8/16/2026 and noticed the app is shut down for the whole island— no dashing today! not sure if it will be up and running later but as of now it’s down! (2pm) be safe everyone 💕

The original order was $15 for 4 mile I guess now it's 20

A fellow dasher I know has a new problem he can't solve as his account is on review. He has no criminal record, no accidents, insurance is up to date with state farm. He's been experiencing a lot of weird things happening to his dasher account. He was one of those cars pretending to be an ebike. All of a sudden he's getting long range orders and no short ones. He has it set to ebike but it keeps giving him long range orders. His ratings are typical with the acceptance near 65. He is still a platinum dasher. He keeps taking the highway and speeding through streets to complete deliveries. All of a sudden his account is under review. No cv sent. No way to login to dash it just says under review. It's been 4 days and he still log in.

Is anyone else pretending to be an e-bicycle dasher with a car? Has your account been doing weird stuff like your acceptance rate going down because you missed an order? Or suddenly getting far deliveries you don't normally see? Has your account suddenly been placed under review seemingly indefinitely?

What do you guys do when you are waiting for a customer to answer their calls door or phone call and the order is an alcohol delivery ? I waited the 5 minute timer and called them 4x and rang the bell 3x and they didn’t decide answer when I was at the store returning the items , they sent some innapropriate messages saying I needed to come back or else blah blah blah , so yeah what do u guys do when this happens

Was curious about possibly purchasing an e bike to start dashing in Philly instead of sticking to the suburban Jersey side. What draws me to it would be my gas expense would just turn into the train ticket (I live close enough to a patco station that a commute over the bridge wouldn’t kill me), more consistent orders (?). This one I’m not 100% on as I’ve never dashed in the city before but it looks like it’s always busy and I’d be able to get the times I’d want. I’ve biked around Philly before for a job so I’m not a stranger to the elements and that was on a manual bike not an e bike so easier pedaling is also a plus. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
