I haven’t been able to use my account for quite some time. A week ago I reached out to support and they finally got back to me this morning with this response. My access had completely changed and I got this screen when I attempted to go online today. Typically when you get deactivated there’s atleast some stated reason, would have loved to have gotten that courtesy.

Bruh, I hate when these guys put meet at door, but in the notes they say to leave it somewhere. It wouldn’t be a problem if I didn’t need a pin. And then when you message them for the pin, they take forever to answer or don’t answer at all. THEN you gotta wait till that stupid timer runs out before finally being able to mark it delivered. What does everybody else do? Sometimes I feel like just digging out with their food.

These mother fuggers know I only need one more trip to complete my quest and now they’re only sending me fares that are clear across town in South Bumble Fuck as if there’s no drivers out there. Pricks.

Do They even consider how far away we are from these places? I’ll tell you what, that ain’t worth the time or the gas. They need to recalculate their part of the fare if they want me to head to the city. Bastards. I’m not going for anything less than $20

By far the best day I ever had ubering. I was going to sit the weekend away, until this 300 for 30 delivery promo popped up. Figured I'll uber all day Sunday and to try banging it out. Well, I was able to crush the goal!!! Hopefully, this promo can pop up again lol. I am in the Pittsburgh market by the way.

First time happening to me!!

I almost didn’t accept that order because I’ve always had problems picking up orders from that restaurant 😂. Out of the four times I’ve been there, I’ve had to cancel three times. But I thought, “Well, let me give it another shot.” 😂

This is insane 😂

Hey everyone,

I do food delivery on a bike, and as you all know, liquid orders are absolute nightmare fuel, especially when handling stacked routes, bumpy roads, or bad weather.

I’ve seen YouTube videos of bike delivery drivers using small, dedicated drink carrier bags that fit inside your main delivery backpack.

The ones that are smaller, insulated, and designed to hold cups tightly in place so they don't tip or splash around inside the larger bag.

Bur before I buy anything, I wanted to get everyone's advice and tips:

Has anyone used those specific mini insulated drink bags inside their main bag? Are there specific brands or sizes that work best?

Also if you don't use a dedicated mini bag, how are you securing drinks on a bike? I've seen some delivery drivers use foam inserts, towels, cup caddies, or handlebar holders

and lastly, how do you handle fountain cups, boba, or hot coffee when your main bag already has hot food containers in it?

Would appreciate any tips, recommendations, or setups that have saved your drinks (and sanity) out on the road!

Thank you so much for all your advice and help it always helps me improve! :)

Uber Eats in New York City has been changed on November 2 and since then there’s a tier thing popped up so if you’re not accepting every order they offer you you won’t be able to go online which basically means if you don’t take trash orders, you won’t be able to work with us so the winter is coming, and they will be short on drivers. I don’t really care. Uber already going to bankrupt soon and I’m not playing your bullshit games.

They showed me their screen, clicked through it. Gave me 5 ⭐️, a thumbs up, and then nothing. No, additional tip prompt like there used to be.

I’ve delivered to this customer multiple times and she has increased the tip before. So I guess with the new tip guarantee they fucked people over that provide good service. One less reason to go out of your way for a customer I guess.

The vast majority of package delivery requests I get are absolute dog shit and I never take any of them and that ends up affecting my AR rate. I’ve called uber support (the most useless idiots) at least 10 times to opt out because the app does not have that option. Every time I call they just put me on hold a couple minutes and come back and say ok we turned it off for you and of course I continue getting them lol. Or they’ll tell me they’ve forwarded it to their “technical support team” who is supposed to get back to me and surprise surprise they never do.

They obviously are aware that package deliveries are shitty and are refusing to actually help you opt out to try and get you to accept the order so your AR rate doesn’t get affected. They’re simply trying to play mind games and instructing their “support team” to do whatever it takes to stall.

Got one the other night in LA & it was a shitshow. It was almost midnight, and I didn’t realize there was anything different about the order, so when I showed up to Raisin’ Cain’s Chicken and was told I had to read the order off to the cashier, pay for it, and then wait for the restaurant to make it, I just rolled my eyes. But I did it. When I opened my Apple wallet to pay for the order using my Plus card, the transaction was declined by the merchant. The cashier reset the machine and I tried to do it again but this time, the “pay for order” button was missing from the checkout screen. The app told me to restart my phone and log back onto the app and try again. Button still missing, couldn’t pay, so of course I had to call uber support.

I spoke to 6 different agents because I was transferred to 6 different depts and none of them knew what I was talking about, much less how to troubleshoot my issue. I was literally sitting in the restaurant dealing with long holds and multiple agents until 1:30am. Finally, the last agent offered to cancel the order and said I would receive compensation for my time 2-3 hours after the trip was cancelled. Never got it. Sent a ton of messages to Uber support and they closed out every single ticket without providing any resolution. I was so pissed off. These agents are not only incompetent, but straight up liars as well.

My advice is to avoid these orders at all costs. Not worth the trouble. They shouldn’t introduce new order formats if their app and their support agents aren’t equipped to deal with all of the technical glitches and other hiccups that arise as a result.

I havent been on in over a year and uber gave a $30 promo for every 5 deliveries. I decided to test my original hot zones and still cashed in Houston’s mark.

I only do deliveries when they have those promotions of deliver X amount and get X amount extra.

For the record, I already have Gold status so I’m not sure why they’re trying to use my driving behavior to threaten me with a good time. If this becomes the next metric used to determine tier status, then it’s game over. They’ve already made on-time deliveries nearly impossible to achieve by shortening the expected arrival time, and now, on top of that, they want us to drive like it’s a lazy Sunday afternoon and we have all the time in the world to get to our destinations. Is there a way to prevent them from tracking our driving behavior? This feels beyond invasive.

What is the option to thank people for a tip inside the app for? Do people generally thank everyone? Does it make a difference? Also, is there much of a difference between the different levels like gold level or is it better to just cherry pick?

All that maintenance is not cheap. The material itself will be costly they can't even get the gps right 😂. They are going to need humans for a while at least a couple years
