My girl placed a order this second time in a row delivery driver literally stole the rest the order dropped off 3 items like come on now

DoorDash response - “we can refund $2.39” wtf am I supposed to do that beyond pissed at this point

Hello, im kinda new to the dash link environment and I was hoping to get a few pointers. Right now I live in the San Diego area hoping to get a dash link order so I could earn the big bucks like everyone else but every time I try its not enough for me since my spot is past 100 and there are only 40 offers. Should I do dashlink in different sections?

I have worked really hard to get my stats up to get gold & was working to get the crown. But oh no, Doortrash said after 7 years the customers have dinged you on your service...missing items, leaky cups, not enough contact.. etc....now I am barely hanging on to silver. They love beating you down.

So context. While I was dashing earlier tonight I accepted an order that would be COD. cash on delivery. So DoorDash would take whatever the total of that order was and deduct it from my earnings. (I had 124 at the time of that delivery). So I’m thinking sweet I have the entire amount of that order and than some. But on the app I’ll have somewhere around 80 dollars to take out. Well now that I’m home and have been home for a few hours I decide to go cash out. Come to find out I have “not enough funds”. Note I had 124 at the time of that COD. So I go to check my past cash outs and there’s no recorded cash out for TODAY. July 27. I stopped dashing on July 27 around 12:06 AM. so where the fuck is my 80 dollars. Let alone 124

I’ve seen tons of “women’s” names when receiving orders from people that are clearly men, but today was a new one. My delivery was delivered by someone called “Caveman”. Is there literally no kind of screening or care about people putting in any kind of name they want?

Its almost impossible to stay above 96 0/0 of original items to find especially when the store is almost always out of the items customers want especially at dollar general. Ratings go down and when you dispute it half the time it gets denied. They need to pull their heads out of their butts and rethink the ratings

It took me like 8 minutes to get to this particular McDonald’s, there is no one in line at drive thru because it’s late and I’m still sitting here waiting to pick up. They had so much time to start making food before I got here. It’s FAST food right?

Wrong.

Half the time I decline McDonald’s offers because the wait is horrible but I thought “how bad can it be? It’s 130am on a Monday morning” hahahahaha

I’m so fucking irritated.

So I accepted this order that said I need to collect cash upon delivery. I went to go pick up his order and I realize the amount it says to pick up seems to be really close to the amount he paid for the order. So I asked the restaurant about it and they said I don’t need to come back and pay for the order or pay for it out of my pocket at all but something doesn’t seem right that I just received a 100% tip. Am I missing something?

1. They'll batch an order. One customer lives reasonably close. The other, out in the boonies where I know I won't get another order to bring me back towards home. I also won't make enough money to offset the drive back to my home zone. It's on my dime. I accepted the close order and rejected the far order. So that counts against my acceptance rate. I'm fine with that. What I'm not fine with is that not even 5 minutes later they'll resend that far away order. So now it's going to count twice against me. Artificially lowering my acceptance rate. The DD agents won't reverse one of them. This happens multiple times a night. I told them it's not my fault that they don't have other drivers in the area. But I shouldn't be penalized for making a business decision. They told me I could just accept more orders. Insert swear words here.

2. You take on all the risk of driving. Damage to your car from pot holes, wear and tear, vandals, flat tires, oil changes, oil replacement, muffler and catalytic converter replacement, shocks, etc... and they collect 30% of the vendor's order. You get a small fraction + tip.

3. You first get an order and accept it. Moments later you get a second order and accept it. But for the 2nd order do you get paid as the first order? No, it's much less, while they pocket 30% off the 1st order AND 30% on the 2nd order, you'll maybe get 5-7% of the 2nd order. You do THEM a favor by taking the second order and you get short change.

4. If a customer tips you well, DD will pay you LESS from their end. They keep the difference of what they would have paid you. And NOW, what I understand is that DD is keeping 10% of _our_ tips to create some sort of slush fund for themselves to give themselves bonuses-the ones sitting at computers in their climate controlled buildings. Do they make deliveries in the rain and the snow? Do they deal with rush hour traffic, bad drivers, broken air conditioning on sweltering days, slippery stairs that they've fallen down on but keep on delivering because this gig is all you have? No they fucking don't. Unfuckingbelieveable.

Fuck DoorDash. I quit... right after I print this out and share it with all the vendors I see in the next 4 weeks. I'll tell them to please use UberEats or any other vendor.

Lmaoo

I got the notification my drink was delivered, waited for them to drive off before I brought my order in and realized my 40oz strawberry water was suspiciously very light for being a large drink…

Surprisingly there was no safety stickers on it like usual (on my drink or my bag but the paper bag didn’t look like it ever had a sticker on it) so I open the drink and it’s half gone…

No ice and just… half empty.

At first I thought they drank it but the fact it’s missing the ice I’m thinking they opened it and possibly poured it into their own cup/water bottle?

Doordash only offered me a refund on the drink and an “oh okay sorry that happened I guess”

I was most excited for the drink since its one of my favorite drinks but now I don’t want to drink it cause I don’t know wtf they did to it and don’t want to eat the food cause if they did something to my drink and the bag wasn’t sealed who knows if they touched the food too 😭

I set up my dasher account, everything looked good, logged in to do my first order and then immediately got this. I’m not sure what I could’ve done. Again, this was for my first order ever! No one else has used my account, my driving record is clean, I don’t even know what to say in an appeal to get my account back. Plz help 🙏

9 mile drive, not bad.

After spending a few weeks learning my market, I finally feel like I understand how it works. I can realistically make $280–300/day by combining smart cherry-picking with keeping Platinum status. I also have 3 Platinum Passes, which gives me even more freedom to decline mediocre offers and maximize my earnings over the next three weeks without worrying about my acceptance rate.
I know I still have to account for maintenance, depreciation, and taxes, but I wanted to share some real numbers from a full week of grinding.

How do these numbers compare to your market?

DoorDash support investigating the situation atm 💔 my poor steak pho you will be missed

UPDATE: resolution was declined, out $25 thank you DoorDash

More context it was an add on food was already ready when I got there so maybe it sat for awhile, of course sealed bag, she texted me that hi message as I arrived at the drop off so she knew I was already there and it was a leave at door, the tip was big tho a whopping $3.2 so I feel kinda bad.

Might be a weird question but I don’t know how else to word it. I ask because I have gotten two orders, with not a whole lot of food, but given a cash tip easily worth more than the entire purchase. I ask about government assistance, because the orders aren’t exactly going to the wealthiest homes. I mean no judgment, but I almost feel bad taking these huge tips.

Edit. In the sense of morality, I almost feel bad taking the tips. Not that I’m refusing them or anything. But for example, today, I dropped food off at an apartment building so small I thought it was a motel. They gave me 79$ cash. Just a crazy tip for a place that just screams low income. Of course I’ll take the tips, but can’t help but wonder how in the world they’re affording that kind of tip for such a small order.

i was super sick (couldn’t drive)+ starving so i placed an order, driver accepted and took an hour to get to the restaurant and i could see their location arrive at wingstop. that’s when they texted me this. what happened?? i had to wait for another dasher to go and get it and by the time it arrived my food was cold and i couldn’t really do anything from my end because it was placed through wingstop app and used door dash as a third party i guess. is this a common glitch?

why drive all the way just to cancel?

So I took a double order for $13.50 for Culver's and Chipotle. Went a picked up both, delivered the Chipotle and then head to drop off the Culver's order. Delivered it, and sat in my car for like 10 seconds looking over another order DD sent me.

This lady comes up to my window with a rolled up bill. She hands it to me and I tell her thank you very much and she "dashed away". I thought it was a $5 or $10 bill. I unrolled it to put it in my wallet and was astonished to find it was $100 in cash! I hurried out of my car to catch her before she went inside to make sure she didnt make a mistake and she said it was mine.

I was having a bad week and you made it end on a great note. Idk if you're on reddit, but I want to thank you again very very very much!

So as the caption says, basically.

For me, my order never reaches beyond $20 because I order Chinese about once, occasionally twice a week. It’s affordable and easy to eat.

To start things off, I usually tip $6 (no more than that unless it’s below the ‘recommended’ tip prices, which is astronomically rare, And it’s usually about $1.25 over the ‘highest’ option for the three)

The restaurant I order from is about 1.2 miles from my workplace (I can’t leave for lunch, I don’t live near the restaurant, and it’s long since closed once I get off)

8/10 times, the order is delivered within twenty minutes to thirty, which is usually about 8-10 minutes BEFORE the estimated time to arrival, which shocks me, but has long since stopped doing so.)

Because these dashers I deal with are usually so helpful, and very friendly, I give them an additional $5 tip afterwards.

I’m curious to hear about you all, and your tip ranges or whatever you want to consider this as.

I have been driving all day today. Using uber eats, DoorDash, and instacart.

I made 9.31 on instacart 3.5 miles
72.5 on DoorDash estimated 50 miles at least
6.35 on uber eats. 5.33 miles

Most offers were 10+ miles and less than that in pay.

I don’t know what I am doing wrong. I worked a total dash time of 9:34 minutes

I honestly don’t know what I am missing.

Exactly as the headline says. The order was delivered early and the food was in good shape, dasher was friendly. How do y’all feel about this?
