Delivery Service Similar to Uber
Posted by: DanKnows ()
Date: January 28, 2019 01:19PM

I drive for Uber occasionally and did Ubereats a few times, but that was a PITA, so stopped. I had a rider who was telling me about some service that picked up groceries and other stuff for people and delivered them. I can't remember the name, maybe he didn't either, but wondering if anyone uses such a service or is a driver for one. Any information would be appreciated.

I know, asking On this forum may result in some "unusual" replies!

Peapod. Google Express. Instacart. Shipt. AmazonFresh.

Met a dude that did Instacart for Costco. Imagine loading 7+cases of bottled water, and then unloading them.
He told me he would make $3 average on a delivery he SHOPPED and delivered!
That’s some bigger business right there!

^^^^^

What he said. Your hourly rate winds up being slave level wages, then add up your car mileage, gas, increased odds of being in a crash for having your car out all the time... Then you deal with the public.

Yeah, dealing with the customer who said you picked out the wrong kind of peanut butter after all you went through? Not fun!
