So I did multiple stacked orders and when I looked at my quests, I was genuinely dumbfounded as to how I hadn't completed all friday night quests

Then I looked over my earnings activity and all my multi stacked deliveries only counted as 1 even if I delivered 2-3 orders...

Did they just change this or have i been getting lucky the last few months?

Edit: I spoke to support and it was fixed, I even got back paid the quests which was a huge surprise tbh

I’m about to start doing deliveries in Melbourne - planning to do lunchtimes most weekdays.

I assume it’s worth hiring an e-bike rather than using my regular bike, even though I’ll only be doing 12-15 hours a week?

The ones I see around most are Orca, Quick Aces, E-bike 100, and Zoomo. Zoomo seems to have significantly worse reviews, so I’ve more-or-less ruled them out, but can anyone recommend one of the others?

Also, some of them offer theft coverage, is that worth a paying for?

Does delivering with car pay more than ebike after expenses such as gas, maintenance..?

I have a Holden Cruze wagon, so enough boot space.

I've been getting smarter with my time on the road, I find I make more on Uber so I use DD in the quieter times (10 to 12/2 to 4) and keep checking Uber every half an hour or so during those times.

Anyway I was near a Costco and one popped up, no info on the job, just $50. I couldn't say no could I.

So I get to Costco, parking was easy, I looked 180 items.

Ok, shit.

I start, I fill 1 trolley, I fill the second, by this stage I'm 170cm, fit but this is getting heavy.

8 4kg of sauce, 13 3kg of sugar.

I speak with Costco, I can leave the trolleys there and keep shopping.

I messaged the customer and said I might not be able to finish it because it won't fit in my car. I have 2 car seats in the back.

I got told to "do my fucking job".

I contacted support, you won't get paid for your time.

I sent the message in, sorry, bit you won't get paid.

I canceled it, but come on, this job was ridiculous.

At least Uber would have helped out or at least taken action again the customer

Hi everyone

I’m the guy who shared a delivery rider app here about 10 days ago.

At that time, the main idea of the app was real-time location sharing between riders. But I’ve changed the direction a bit.

The reason is simple: real-time sharing only becomes useful when a lot of people are using it at the same time. Maybe I just wasn’t good enough at bringing users in yet, but honestly, it wasn’t easy to get enough riders online.

So I changed the app to focus more on showing useful delivery activity based on the current day and time.

For example, if it’s Monday at 5:30pm, the map can show recent past data around that same day and time:

* green dots show places where delivery orders were picked up / restaurants where orders came from

* orange dots show areas where riders were waiting

So instead of needing a lot of live users at the same time, the app can still be useful even when you’re using it alone. And of course, the more riders use it, the better the data becomes.

Thankfully, there are now around 3–5 people using it consistently around Brisbane City, so some useful data has started to build up. If you deliver around Brisbane City, I think the map will probably make sense when you see it.

The app is called Savvy Driver. If you already downloaded it before, you’ll need to update to the latest version to see the new changes.

Feel free to try it if you’re interested, and I’d really appreciate any honest feedback.

(There may still be some errors and bugs, but I’m updating it every day. If you’re interested, please keep following the progress.)

Also, I recently saw a scooter accident involving an Uber Eats rider, and it really reminded me that safety has to come first.
Stay safe out there.
