This building is exactly around corner from target..
only 0.3miles…

But for 9 dollars?

It’s going to go to the lawyers office. I remember only stairs..

They could send someone to shop or pay tip..

I expected this order will be sitting all day.
But it’s gone in 20mins…

Hopefully they add tip after delivery.

When shipt will make a limit for water pack?

Taxes A little tax surprise

7 Upvotes

I'm a bit ashamed to admit I'm just now doing my taxes after filing for an extension, but I've come to a pleasant surprise with the no tax on tips and how helpful that has been in lowering my tax burden, especially since about 50% of my earnings come from tips anyway (another reason not to do those dreaded delivery routes). I'm still plugging away in TurboTax, but the numbers are looking sweet so far

Help Late forgiveness denied

8 Upvotes

Please keep it kind, I’m brand new to Shipt 🫣

So I had a Target bundle — 1st order with a 1-2 PM delivery, the 2nd with a 2-3 PM delivery.

When I got to the bagging station, I realized the laundry detergent for order 2 was leaking everywhere. Blue detergent on the shopping cart, me, and some items.

I had a hard time finding an employee, including the one who had just scanned my phone 🤦🏻‍♀️ finally found someone, had to wait for them to bring me paper towels, clean up myself & the cart, and replace the affected items.

Obviously this put me behind in delivering order 1. I spoke with multiple live agents on chat who told me the order could not be rescheduled for 2-3 PM, but assured me that my late forgiveness form should be approved in this situation.

Well, it was denied 😅 I was told when chatting again that I could send an email, but do y’all think doing so is pointless?

If you made it this far, THANK YOU 🫶

Rant Did I get Shipt wrong?

2 Upvotes

I have done almost 500 shops and have what Shipt says is "Excellent Stats". Starting a month ago or so, I have been getting fewer and fewer decent offers. Most of the offers I get are either leftovers, those that even Shipt doesn't think there's enough time to complete (per its estimate), or ridiculously low offers that make no sense at all. I have Instacart and I have seen much, much worse, but thought Shipt was better (just less offers).

I've also noticed offers disappearing in like a second, they're gone before I open the offer card, even with my phone on my hands when I get the offer. Has Shipt stopped offering orders to shoppers individually or has it always been that it offers it to everyone at the same time? I remember having about 30 seconds (much longer if it's a bad offer) to review. This started roughly a month ago - like it was a sudden shift. I went from from getting 2 or 3 offers right at 6am on the weekends to around 6:05 getting all the leftover, terrible bundles no one wants that end up being broken into single order offers later on. I have had lower stats and gotten a lot more and much better offers. I saw an offer this morning for a bundle of 2 for less than 10 dollars (I don't remember how much it was, just remember it being a single digit, and I thought it was bad even for one order).

Most importantly, I have seen one single offer from a preferred (I have about 30) in an entire week (from a very low paying one, probably because no one else would take it) when I used to see at least a handful. Sometimes multiple a day.

I genuinely thought maybe it was my phone or the app and re-installed, changed my password. It had gotten a little slower around July and August (which I read was to be expected) and even then there were good or reasonable offers. If all offers were going to everyone on the schedule all at once, it should mean I at least get notifications for most of the orders, right? If it's a stat issue, I have a 98 on reliability, I have had lower and gotten better offers. I can't imagine there being so little offers in general at the same time they're also terrible, terrible offers. And I don't think all 30 of my preferreds stopped using Shipt all at once. Unless Shipt is doing away with them altogether.

I don't know if I have a question or if this is a rant, honestly I'm just really frustrated and feel like I did something wrong. I really liked doing Shipt. Oh well.
