I actually imagine you can make a lot of money from the tips if you're able to incorporate some weird friendly service delivery into it. Like always getting extra sauce and being friendly or something else. Each person tipping like one dollar would add up well.

I did it in France and it sucks, we were way too much, too much concurrence
depends of the amount of people doing it in your area
but overall it's a chill side job. was doing it on my scooter

[Anonymous No.49388016]

I wouldn't do it if you don't live in a dense metropolis where a lot of rich people are located, and I wouldn't do it with a car either. The wear and tear will make it not worth it. Even if you had a shitbox you got for free and did all the maintenance yourself, the hours spent, once you include the time taken repairing the car, will make your hourly rate shit. I do it on a 1k$ gas scooter that gets 95mpg in my country's second biggest city. Makes me 30-40/hr in our currency. I talk to the guy who do it by car, and they say they get fucked, especially in summer. If you live in the above conditions and there are cold winters, supposedly rich people order like crazy when there's snow on the ground. Otherwise, probably not worth it. Try it out, calculate your hourly rate minus projected maintenance fees and your recorded gas costs, and don't don't continue if the profits are below 20$/hr USD. I hope you enjoy being treated like a dog and spit on, because that's the general attitude of customers.

Also make sure to take lots of pictures and pay attention to the orders. Sometimes little shits will try to claim you didn't deliver, either spontaneously or in retaliation for a mistake the restaurant made, like not including a drink in the sealed package. Check the logs, always, and don't be afraid to contact customer service and make up shit about the customer being violent or rude. They may only get a slap on the wrist, but it prevents such attempts to victimize you from affecting how the app doles out the orders. If you don't stay on your toes, one or two whiny, belligerent customers can ruin your access to new orders. Restaurants too. I had restaurant staff lie to Uber about me not carrying an insulated bag for whatever reason, it was confusing because I'm normally polite and courteous. I disputed with customer service, got it removed, and then made 40 false orders to their restaurant from a digital phone service over the next week. Local police couldn't do shit.

I started in 2019, stopped in 2020 and started again in 2021
in 2019, we were 3 or 4 doing it only. We made a good salary (80 euros from 6 PM to 9:30 PM with my bicycle)
started again in 2021, we were like 12 I think, I was making 35 euros from 6PM to 10PM with a scooter... We relied only on uber eats "guaranteed minimum" of 12 euros per hour, which doesn't always work...

You do it for a couple days and if you aren't getting many orders, and you see a lot of other drivers at restaurants, while the app is telling you there's high demand in your area (via a red-orange or purple splotch).

How'd you get into e-commerce? Any tips for someone also trying to get out of Uber?
>>49388259
You can see it in a log that is finalized about an hour later. They won't tell you who gave you the bad rating, but if you take screenshots of all the addresses and order contents before they are obscured, after completion of the order, and you pay close attention to the behaviour of the customer/restaurateur, you can usually deduce who it was. For me it was some lowlife chink who ran a dirty soup place. I guess he didn't like that I didn't kowtow or whatever subhuman practices those bugs expect. I harmed his profits for a solid week with my phony orders. Fuck chinks, fuck niggers. Oh, which reminds me. Don't deliver to areas with high numbers of chinks and niggers. They won't tip and they tend to be the most likely to fuck with you.

i did it recently im the uk and the answer is, no. unless you're a genuinely austistic spoon that can't math and think sub minimum wage is comfy. i calculated my peak earnings and their peak busyness and peak rate boost times and it worked out as about £5 an hour.... at peak demand. for reference, any kind of general shelf stacking work will get you £9.40 or so. which is still low. £5 an hour is ridiculous; you literally wouldn't be able to afford even the cheapest rent etc on that

the services are actually oversaturated. e.g. i tried signing up for deliveroo, stuart and just eat and none of them were accepting new accounts due to the quantity they already have and over dilution.

deliveroo also now offers free delivery on orders over £25 through prime. hence why uber doesn't get any of them.

How do I find commodities like that? Are we talking something simple, like collector's coins, or used cameras of specific models? What can I do to ensure visibility for boomers? I was flipping furniture for a while, which I much preferred to Uber, and which paid better on an hourly basis. The downside was that it could take up to a month to sell the furniture, so despite the time spent being acceptable, the rate at which you earned was on too long a delay for it to be anything other than pocket money. The local market fluctuates too much, as well. "MCM" or "midcentury modern" imitation pieces from 30 years ago could be selling like hotcakes one month, and then worthless the next. I found it to be too capricious. Most of the people I was competing with were teams of 3-4, who weren't autistic like me and had made connections with suppliers elsewhere to import originals and high-value pieces worth thousands. People in the market for replicas are too fickle.

>How do you tell if there are too many people doing it?
you'll end up stood in mcdonalds for an hour and half waiting for one to come through, at peak service time. it's also worth explaining that places like mcdonalds can take considerably longer to prepare delivery orders compared to in store (it can easily take 20 minutes), but the job is assigned to right at the start, not once it's ready. they also randomly lose orders on the system, so you have to tap "can't deliver". what this means is if people figure they can knock three, four or five out per hour, they can't because it'll take 10-20 minutes just for the order to be handed to you

As I've mentioned upthread, I've made it work for myself. YMMV. That said, I hate the job, it's shit, and the only reason it pays okay where I live is that our subnational jursidiction has the lowest average wages in the country, between the most developed divisions. 30-40/hr is almost three times what I was making 5 years ago, on the high end. Nearly every job here pays only 1-2$ above minimum wage, which itself has gone up only 1.5$ in 5 years, while rent has skyrocketed. We seem to have experienced a lot of the urban malaise seen elsewhere on a significant delay, and as a poorer city on average (larger lowest income bracket), it makes even less sense how things are going. I'd rather be making 30-40/hr whenever I want to work, for as many hours per day as I'd like, than trapped in an on-call job where I get an average of only 20-30 hours per week over a year, at 15-16$/hr. Keep in mind that I use a specific vehicle that has been modified for better mileage; I'm smart about how I work. If you live in the right place are marginally intelligent, you can make an okay living. It's not sustainable though, and the job is humiliating. I'm not advertising for them, they take up to 40% of your earnings, and you'll pay higher taxes because you're a "contractor" by law. Here we're supposed to start paying the sales tax to the gov out of our own pockets once we gross more than 30k per year. Overall it's a shit job, just better than most of the other options available in my city.

I started on a bike and I made 28-32/hr in local currency. Worth only about .75 USD. You'll be working hard, though. I wasn't taking piss breaks, barely had time to drink water, and suffered from a lot of damaged food going that fast. You might fare differently depending on your location.

I also do it on a bike, with a face mask because Covid so scary. Impossible to identify. One time some chink complained because I delivered on a bike, which is not something I can control for (orders are automatically given to me, that's an option in the app on customer's end). I stole his dog from his yard in broad daylight and drove 10km to another part of town where I deposited it in someone else's (a gated one so the little yapper couldn't run and would be found), without the tags. I bribed it with treats so I could use a magnet to check for the chip (no chip). Dog was fine, probably went to a pound and got re-homed.

Another story: Some nigger didn't tip me. He stank of weed at the door, so I made an anonymous tip to local police using a VPN. Ended up on the local news because he was carrying a lot more than just pot. Min. was 10 years. I've probably slashed 10-15 cars' tires. Started a rumour on a local website for trading such information that some rich nigger in a condo was actually a rapist/child predator, which really got around judging by his Facebook profile posts (I had surreptitiously added him as a fake thot). I know who you are. You're vulnerable. The app gives you name and your address. Think about it.

I've done anonymous reports to the police on nigs several times, because you can almost guarantee that any random nig is doing something illegal. Anonymous reports to the tax authorities too. They're often too stupid to do their taxes right, and a quick audit will sink them financially or have their wages garnered for a decade. Nigs universally don't tip. If it's a nig name, or a nig area, I turn down the orders. Still, sometimes a few slip through. They seldom own a car worth keying or slashing the tires of. Also can't trust that they don't run like animals, so they might catch me on a bike. Passive methods are the most foolproof for them. I've mailed them letters after fucking with them that call them niggers and such. Again, not a crime, so nothing can be done. Those are my favourite stories, honestly. Dognapping and destruction of property are illegal. Making nigs miserable using their own lifestyles is completely above-board.

I have a very Hobbesian philosophy. People don't behave well unless they feel vulnerable. When I catfished some schlubby rich manlet's wife, for the crime of him not tipping me, I removed some fraction of the bubble of safety that made him feel fine demanding I waste my time getting frisked by lobby security, waiting in the elevator to climb 19 floors for no reward. Everybody should feel as if they are made of glass. It's how you get them to behave. If I could, I'd permanently maim every single one. I am at peace with the fragility of my body, my life, and that is what keeps my morals strong; fear of retribution. Sometimes God's a little too slow.
