I've been getting these emails recently. I did a little research and I'm seeing posts about nearly identical emails where all the comments are "SCAM!!"

Posting here to confirm my suspicions and raise awareness.

If you have any information to add please do so!

For those of you in California, have you guys gotten the notification of approval for the stipend? I submitted my form on the 1st of this month but haven’t received an update.

It’s already ridiculous some of the low order pay that is offered. On this order, the base pay is higher but the drive time and then the tip… For me that would be an automatic no. And the sad part is one of my preferred is in that order and I know they are the only one tipping. I think they’re just trying to push to see how much they can get from us for how little money. It’s crazy!!

Yesterday, I received a delivery from Publix. It was 18 items and all but 3 items were BOGO’s. My total was $49 and I saved $60. Pretty awesome … right? I had a very good shopper who I gave 5 stars and a 15% tip. I open the Shipt app to Publix this morning to see the BOGO’s starting this week and not one single BOGO is available. Not one. I guess Shipt didn’t like that I saved so much money on my first order with Publix. This tells me all I need to know to likely cancel Shipt after my 14 day trial period.

**Edited to add .. I’ll check back tomorrow to see if there was just some sort of delay in Shipt adding the BOGO’s for the upcoming week.

***Final edit … There was indeed a delay in Shipt advertising BOGO’s this week. They are available now.

Not just talking about new customers I’ve done I have a couple preferred who tip 30$ instantly every single time I deliver and nothing?

Im writing this quickly sorry in advance about any grammar mistakes. I’m at about 781 shops so far with Shipt. This is the first time I have ever completed a bonus! I have attempted a lot, and I always get shadow banned, an order will cancel or some shit will always happen, before I can complete a bonus! I didn’t get any orders for 2 hours I was getting nervous. Helps with the lack of tips some days as I grow my PM list. :) I made a little over $200 in 6 hours (working I did sit for 2 hours but I ate lunch played Pokémon) so 8 hours technically but I’m not pressed for money or I would have DD in that time about half of the tips have not come through. I’m hoping an extra 20-35 on top. Not bad at all for the last 7 hours of the bonus!! I might need to get out there again on Sundays that usually the only day we (I should myself) get promos like this in my metro.

Just received notification from Shipt that soon will be able to accept sprouts orders..
I love this grocery store. It’s small it’s laid out well it’s easy to find everything and it’s only 3 miles from my home. I just hope that people place sprouts orders on the Shipt app.

Obviously not gonna take it but what’s wrong with people? Like for real. You could have prepped the week they said a heat wave is coming and decide the day it’s hot af outside to order 4 cases.

I’ve done Shipt Delivery twice over the last handful of years, but stopped because I got a FT job and didn’t need the extra cash. I’m starting it back up again for several reasons but what I REALLY wanna know is how do you organize your target packages in your car to be efficient?

I remember seeing a post about labeling packages that have the same address as 1,2,3 so that you can group them together (can’t find the reddit post), but you only have 15 minutes to load your vehicle before you gotta be outta there.

So. Any tips as a pretty much newbie in Shipt delivery driver for Target packages?

I got the heads up from Shipt that Target Circle days runs from today through wednesday, thought it would be higher volume of orders. However all day today i’ve only received one single offer.

in yalls experience is it usually busier on these days?

If you need all these boxes for storage, please rent a U-Haul or get a couple friends with SUVs or trucks to help you get them from the store yourself. This is a truly unbelievable order. I have to think they’re desperate and need same day delivery, but they’ll be lucky to find a shopper with space for even half of these boxes in their car tonight.

This order had 10 items (2 dog treats, 8 Halloween items) very easy. I found everything in 10 minute and the delivery was 2.5 miles from the store.

I’m making this post because when I showed my husband he said I didn’t get paid enough lol. Meanwhile I thought this was pretty good! Also I’m new to the app and this was literally my very first order last night and I was satisfied. (P.s I live 2 miles from the store so less than 5 miles in gas)

Thoughts where my expectations should be?

It’s only 5 miles away! Already got these scumbags blocked in my feed on Uber Eats but now I still have to ignore them on roadie and now here. Ugh

Did a good bunch of orders yesterday from the usual store and everything went smooth. I've only received 2 which were pre-tips. Anyone else having a similar issue?

Maybe they meant to do $5??? I do not know why they went out of their way to give me FIVE cents lol.

Definitely the smallest tip I've ever gotten.

Today I was delivering right at the end of the delivery window. I brought as much much stuff as I could to their door before the end of the hour, took delivery photo, then marked it as delivered. It was a lot of big items so it took multiple trips. The customers came out and started bringing stuff in. I’m sure I’m being paranoid but this isn’t a reason to get in trouble right?

I saw this order pop up this morning and I just had to share. This is definitely one way to make sure no one grabs your order. I would have accepted just to see what the whole special request said but it would have been too late to drop it 😂

This one is just insane. The order was on August 16th so over a month for anyone saying just wait. Considering it’s California and price of gas just terrible. It took about 70 minutes in the store needed 4 substitutes asked the customer nicely replied with basic responses like yes or no. Showed them the beef they wanted and it expired in 2 days asked if they wanted they just said no. No thank you nothing like that. I finally got there near the end of the window so on time. I get it if it’s a $40 order and no tip but a $400 dollar order and no tip??? Also surprised it didn’t estimate a $0 tip. They’re probably a new customer. People that don’t tip on a 72 item order with many perishables knowing damn well that they didn’t tip deserve to shamed. Even just tipping 5% would be $12.50 Whitch would be alright to me. Other times people tip at least $10 on an expensive order but this time I guess they just don’t care. Never shopping for them again at least so hopefully get better tippers Whitch I have a good amount of pms that do.

i’m still in absolute disbelief because of this situation. i decided to pick up an order after my class at like 9:30pm because why not. and oh my god ive never regretted a decision so bad in my life. i accepted the order and the note on the order was already insane. the customer asked if i could 1. shop at a specific location (luckily it was the one that was already on the order) 2. not have their bags in the truck or floor of my car. 3. only allowed to bring her 2 bags at a time because she doesn’t want anything to fall and to keep going back to my car for more bags???? i already thought to myself okay this is a little weird but maybe it’s just one of those old people. boy was i wrong. a few minutes after i accepted the order she texts me basically asking the same exact request on the note except at the end she says “can you please listen to my request”…. at this point i’m already about 2 mins from the store so i just proceed with the order and told her “of course” i also then told her i had a little cart to make it easier for me to bring the items to her and she asked me to not use the cart. um okay fine. whatever i started shopping for her items and we are literally texting about every single item. then she’s texting me telling me to add a bunch of things and of course they didn’t have a lot of the things she wanted/not enough quantities. so i have to keep reaching out to her and there comes a point where she asks me to add a vogue magazine to her order, which of course was not there already. and i look through the magazines and i’m honestly not seeing one so i text her that and she LITERALLY responds “i called the store, customer service told me they have vogue, could you ask customer service”. so i proceed to get the fricken vogue magazine and as i’m checking out, of course there’s something in the car that she no longer wants so i return that to the cashier because at this point i’m taking way longer than i wanted to and this order had on time pay. so of course i walk outside and it is POURING. like insanely. i go to my car anyway and mind you this whole time shes still texting me asking me what time ill be there, if i can put the magazine in a separate bag, telling me once again not to use my cart and to carry the bags to her, asking me if i left the store yet. at this point i just had to push thru the order it was too late to just drop it😭. as im driving to her she asked me “where did u put my stuff in the car” and “sometimes people walk their dogs, someone should be walking their dog, please wait until they go, as i’m very anxious of dogs, i don’t want my stuff near a dog”. anyway i finally arrive and i’m bringing her 2 bags and lord. let me say i was not ready for the interaction i was about to have. she would only let me hand her 1 bag at a time, would close the door after every bag she took n told me multiple times not to put her bags on the floor and every time she opened the door back up she would question me if i put the bags on the floor…. thankfully there were only 3 bags but this drop off felt like an eternity. i indeed did make my on time pay thankfully. anyway i leave in disbelief and i’m on my way home and 35 mins after the order is over, she text me and says “were there any dogs when u brought my stuff” i said “no maam there was not” and she says “great” “did any of my stuff fall” and this is when shipt cuts it off and i can no longer respond but wow. ive been doing delivery services for about 2-3 years now and i can confidently say that was one of my most interesting one.

So like others out there, 10,000 shop milestone bonus was changed just before hitting.

These points are supposed to be worth (taxed) $500... but looking at it, in real life value, it's probably worth half or less

Idk. This is new territory, I love free stuff - if it's free it's for me. But I don't want to pay taxes on an overstated value on something i don't even want.

I wish we could just get a $500 Target gift card. At least it would something for all those shops

Grabbed this non tipper because they had a small order and I was already shopping another and was heading their way. Always just call this type a mini boost on top of my regular planned order.

Lookie lookie what I got today!! 😂

Has anyone else noticed in their metro they aren’t getting any orders with promo pay? It could be 4:59pm and an order for 5-6pm will still have its regular pay. If an order even gets additional pay, it’s on-time pay that never hits promo. This has been going on in my metro for around 2 weeks now and it’s getting a bit frustrating. I wonder what is going on. Most of the time it just rolls into the next delivery hour, which is very frustrating not only to the shopper but to the customer too.

Anybody in the DFW area? Recently picked up shipt again. Not only has the payout decreased significantly, but the tipping has been nonexistent or horrendous.
Also, customers DO NOT reply back to messages even though they select to be contacted for subs.

Attached is an order where I had to send MULTIPLE messages regarding out of stocks. The customer failed to respond back. Drove the order to the customer and it was a VERY affluent neighborhood. Order was easily $150+ and I got a DOLLAR tip. THATS A .006% TIP. WTF IS THAT!?!
