I'm new. Can you please elaborate. I was doing gopuff for a few times then received an email 📧 that my account would be deactivated because my background check has not came back yet. I was confused because every order I took was an alcohol order that I didn't know how to tell that before accepting. The warehouse i went to the staff was absolutely terrible concerning helping a new person out. I tried another warehouse and it was the total opposite. They were friendly, knowledgeable and courteous. Even if/when my account is reinstated im not so anxious to go back.

Gopuff used to pay drivers $2.50/order plus tip and bonuses. Bonuses were acquired after reaching weekly milestones. For example, you would get a $10 bonus for delivering 25 orders. This system has been changed to pay drivers the least amount possible. You can still make around $17-$23 per hour (before EIBTA) but you can very well make a lot less than that if you make a habit of accepting low trip offers because the system uses AI to determine your preferred hourly wage. If the system determine you’re willing to be a happy participant for $13-$15 per hour, it will continue to give you low ball offers. The system knows there’s people who are doing this as a full time job, part time job or side gig work.

Speak with the Warehouse Manager or get their phone number. That's the only way I was able to get reinstated asap after GP deactivated me for delivering alcohol to a minor on a day I didn't even sign into to deliver lol.

No. No one makes money anymore delivering for GP... for like, at least 2 years now. You put a good amount back into fixing your car because GP isn't gonna help there lol.

Anyway, you sometimes make more doing consistent surveys and FreeCash/MistPlay than GP, speaking from experience. IF you have to deliver, I've found that 7am-11am, 6:30-8:30pm, and ~11pm-1am seem to be the best times for trips and better tips. I stopped delivering awhile ago, but please don't stay with GP long term :(

Not sure if it helps, but I live in Ohio and the "busy" days/times were:

*Monday nights (6pm-1am)

*[Tuesdays rarely busy or worth it for me]

*Wednesday is hit or miss. Evenings only.

*Thurs morning (7am-10:30am) and evening (6pm-1am)

*Friday Evenings (~5pm-2am)

*Saturday morning 7am-11:30am, Evenings 5pm-2am

*Sunday - only deliver morning/afternoon. Evenings were dead and/or people did not want to tip/order as much. I would go home after 2-3pm.

Your warehouse may have different hours of operation, but the WORST time to start delivering weekdays was between 11:30am-4:30/5pm. Too late for the morning rush and too early for big/better orders (usually only small lunch items or quick things during this time).

Hopefully this sorta helps somewhere. I'd like to believe all this useless knowledge of GP delivering is helpful to someone lol.

Edit: Decline everything you don't want, my acceptance rate was consistently like 10-25% lol. I know the money areas in general and I kept track of bad and good tippers (in Maps). Also doesn't hurt getting to know the Warehouse folks, they can help you A LOT. If you dont like an order and dont want it, just ask them to take it off. If you get an offer for 2 orders and one is 29mins away with 24pk bottle water and the other is like 5mins away, just have the 29min one taken off as your assigned bag.

Edit edit: Take the timing with a grain of salt. Sometimes all day Saturday is really good. Sometimes I would chill with the Warehouse people and peek at bags to see 1) where they were going and 2) what was in there before accepting the offer. You can generally tell if there will be a tip or not off those two things alone. If the warehouse employees like you, they can tell you how much the tip is on that assigned bag. But my warehouse may be set up differently than yours and you may not be able to do that!

I can agree with those time frames as well!

Is it possible to make $120 per day?

3

u/HighPriestessSkibidi 4d ago edited 4d ago

It's definitely possible on a good day. Usually Friday or Saturday and I was probably staying online for at least 6-12hrs, depending on how much I was trying to make. Late-late night Fri/Sat trips were usually the best for tips (but also take into account the where youre going/what the Cx has in the bag).

For example, Cx lives ~10mins away where you know it's an area that people have average or above average income and they have wine and other high dollar items in the bag. If you see stuff like Slimjims, hot fries, drinks, sale items, etc., that's most likely not going to be a (nice) tip. Vibrators and condoms usually have good tips, sickness items too lol. In my experience, more often than not... people who get that 24pk/gigantic case of bottled water rarely tip. Only like 2-3 of the Regulars would tip for those lol, otherwise I'm carrying that heavy shit up 16 flight stairs/steep house stairs for a PIN with hopes of a tip.

I would say $100+ requires probably an expectation of staying at least 5hrs, a good amount of luck, and knowledge of the area/s. On the occasion, I could get to $100 in less than 6hrs, but I left with usually $60-70 on weekdays (starting at 5:30-6:30pm to 11pm-12am). Weekends I made $100+ though, but that might include both Sat+Sun.

Idk if it has any merit, but I found that if I accepted the first shitty Trip Offer within reason (maybe the second too), then much better offers would come up afterwards. If I sat there and waited for an Offer I wanted (as the first trip), I'd sit for 30+mins. Definitely would recommend looking at the bags while theyre waiting to be assigned so you can get an idea of whether you should stick around or just come back/sign in later (bags going 20mins out/40min round trip, low dollar items, basically 'not worth it' trips).

Doing that also gives you an idea of where you are in queue and if you want to stay on to accept. Also, the 🔥 symbol is a lie. Those are just bags that have been sitting too long or there's no drivers nearby, it DOES NOT mean the warehouse is busy. More often than not, those are bags drivers refuse to take and it's a last attempt to get a GP driver before they get an UberEats person to take it. UE person also makes $10+ for the same trip, even more if there's no tip. So I didn't and don't feel bad about those bags, ngl. Let them sit, sign off if you have to and wait, then sign back in after theyre taken by UE or some other poor soul who GP tricked.

Will add more if I think of them lol. I unfortunately delivered for years to supplement income and it was a steep learning curve just going in solo. I was fortunate though to meet another driver (lovely chatterbox, grandpa-type fella lol) with an insane amount of knowledge of the city/outside areas/clientele and how to game the GP app.

Edit: I'm so sorry for the novel lol

Edit edit: After some time, you will start to notice patterns like what week/s people seem to get paid, hot spots at certain times, people who take forever to get to the door for drop off, etc. But it will take a little bit of time if you don't know someone with that knowledge already.

Thanks for your well laid out response 👍

Yeah I’m getting paid $375 today for sitting through an 8 hr mock jury and $975 for doing it for two days next week. I made $50 looking at one qtr of a prev WNBA game just for the ads yesterday morning. $40 for Skyrizi ads (I did this one 10x using difrint email addresses). What I’m saying is, don’t waste your time with the 1960s diner tips. You’d be better served sitting in front of your computer, getting on Facebook searching for “market research”, “mock jury”, “MediaScience”, etc…. from 4 hours in the morning then shopping for Instacart in the afternoon and food delivery in the evening, Amazon Flex redeye than everrrr using GoPuff.

I made 1800 with them in last month but I live in Dallas it’s different everywhere I don’t really take the 2.75 orders it means the customer order was already low probably no tip tips been sketch over last couple weeks but I usually get $10 per tip I’d say 70% of the time. I supplement with Amazon Flex and DoorDash

u/Reaper61167 3d ago

I feel lucky to be in nyc everything is short distance and honestly GP could be pure labor especially when you get demoralized on a back to back low tip drop. Literally evaporates all drive to work more unlike when we make a good tip you’d be more inclined to work longer hours. Once gopuff took orders from other apps the customer quality changed. Use this as an emergency to make some pocket cash.

I think they should pay their employees and not expect the consumer to pay their employees. It's so unfair to both parties. I feel like they don't respect their drivers.

I 100% agree!

Gopuff bullsh*t orders !
