r/DoorDashDrivers

Ok so I Dash and do UberEats, and last night I was holding off on DD until they were giving better offers and stayed off the app after getting a disrespectful offer….like $5 for way too many miles and going to 2 pick up locations and dropping off at two different addresses.

After ubering for a while, I was wondering why DD wasn’t giving me any offers so I went to check. It somehow accepted that shitty order and had been sitting for idk how long 😫 the fist person ended up canceling while I was otw to pickup and I canceled the other one since rhey wanted me to go too far…for COOKIES.

Has this been happening to anyone else? This has happened at least 5 times now for orders I would NEVER accept and I’m fairly new to Dashing.

Hello,

Right now I am relying solely on doordash to have my food delivered to the hotel I am staying, Yes, I know I am throwing money away but I am having vehicle problems at the moment. The orders used to get picked up really quickly, (I tip 9 bucks and order from a restaurant in walking distance). Now it is taking longer to get my food. Dashers used to be assigned the minute I ordered.

Do you Dashers not like delivering to hotels? It's a nice hotel. Just trying to get some feedback on the issue.

Thank you!

Got a Jimmy John's order. $7 for 6 miles. Not the best, but I took it. Order is ready immediately. Show up to delivery location and read directions. "Door Code is ####, I am on floor 5 apt # blah blah."

Look all around after verifying I have the right building/ address. Not a single door on the building has a door for code entry.Text customer. No answer. Call customer. No answer. Call five minutes later. Still no answer. Go to property manager building, confirm I have the right place, and leave order in office.

10 minutes later on another delivery get two calls back to back.

Probably gonna take a dip on rating but oh well. No communication from you, no extra effort from me.

So... Once again today DD sent me like 5 miles out of the way on a local dash , and THIS time I had to drive down the middle of a cow pasture no joke ! It would have literally been like 2 to 3 miles from the restaurant I picked up at , but I was distracted and listening to the delivery directions in app and ended up being directed to this crappy dirt road bordered by falling down fencing with cows on both sides ! I was mad ! So I called Support and finally was routed to a supervisor that could actually speak English in an understandable way . Of course their answer is that they know the app has glitches ( her word ) and their Engineers are working on it now . Yeah right 🙄 . I also asked why the orders are always wrong about the mileage , example : they say it's 4 miles when it's actually 7 . Got the same answer about engineers looking in to it . DD is full of it and they should reimburse us when their app

" glitches " and we lose money by thinking a delivery is 3 or 4 miles when it's usually much farther. Not only are we using more gas but it's taking time away from other potential good deliveries 🤬

I've been dashing for 6 months now and this is the absolute worst week I've ever had with accepting offers and earning anything. Nobody is tipping and DD isnt raising their base pay to compensate. I was sitting pretty comfortable around 30% AR for at least 3 months, now I'm at 5% from just the last few days. I'm just getting more and more pissed every time I have to decline...because that's all I'm doing.

How is Memorial Day weekend for dashing where you are? I typically skip it myself, but just curious.

Gonna try to make this concise, if additional info needed I’ll provide

- took stacked order, after picking up order app told me to deliver, wouldn’t even let me switch to 2nd order (assumed it was canceled)

- delivered but every time I hit complete an error came up. Took pictures when customer came out to get food

-called support, said the order was complete on their end, lady said she was removing other order at no penalty to me as it was an app issue

- surprise it did go into my ratings dropping my completion rate from 100-99 (2 points in new system)

- called right back and agent was beyond unhelpful, eventually settled on her leaving notes to correct.

- didn’t change and tried chat support, again not super helpful. Mixed up AR and completion more than once. Finally seemed like they understood, even called me to explain. Said they made note to have it changed.

-2 days later and still nothing

Try again or any tips to get this fixed or decide they aren’t going to fix and cherry pick even harder?

i have a few late deliveries, i’m not sure how i’m supposed to get there faster, i already drive fairly fast. are there any tips?
