I declined 🚯

Would you take this? I feel like it’s a trick and that time estimate is a lie. 12 drop offs? How do I keep track of them? I tried doing Walmart pickups at this store and it always takes them a zillion years. I learned my lesson.

Even if it takes 30 mins to load it’s gonna be 30/hr more than likely. Probably 12 smaller orders or even single items. Just ask before you pick up to make sure. They can probably tell you pretty quickly.

I’ve waited at this Walmart for like an hour and a half before. You can’t know whether it’s going to be small orders or not. There’s twelve orders. Am I just extremely slow or are Ubers time estimates usually off

u/Fantastic_Law7704 1d ago

Just drive there and ask the attendant. Making this way too complicated lol.

What was the pay for that order? because I'm not waiting no hour and a half for no order. I just canceled an order pickup last night because I was waiting for like 20 to 25 minutes and someone else that had just pulled in got their order in no time and left while I still waiting.

UE delivery estimates are generally pretty accurate for me including traffic, pending any restaurant wait. That said Wally orders are atrocious. Never saw pay like that on them, min +20mins the est at pickup, and yea that many orders can easily turn into a can of worms, so I turned off walmart offers

Mine are insanely over estimated. I’m on a bike and it tells me the order is expected in literally 11minutes, whilst I’m in a 10 minute ride from the shop, 15 min to the drop. Makes no sense at any point, every single one of my estimates is 10 minutes impossibly early

Yea I tried to turn off Walmart orders but they told me they can’t just turn off Walmart they have a bundle deal so in order to turn off Walmart it also turns off walmart, Walgreens, Home Depot, Michael’s, Lowell’s, etc. not sure if that was true. But yea Walmart sucks because the workers running those curbside pickups are always young ā€œI’m too cool for school and workā€ pants sagging, well with zero urgency,

u/Dub4Life420 17h ago

That’s when you have to go up to the workers and say ā€œhey do you have a guestamit of how long until I get mine uber pick up? I’ve been here waiting for over an hour(I got there 5min ago). Dude said ā€œI got you broā€ the lady next to me has been waiting nearly an hour and a half, and I got mine first 15min after I got there. Sure you can say it was a dick move. But not my fault people rather bitch and complain rather than speak up

Like not on the actual driving but how long shopping orders takes, this estimate doesn’t account for loading and unloading, some orders might potentially cancel which has happened to me before , it doesn’t say whether there’s any water to lug or apartment complexes to deliver to, it’s easy to mix up orders when there’s 12 of them and Walmart just slaps stickers on everything

This isn’t bad for quest lol

u/Efficient_Purchase88 23h ago

I would’ve taken it. I’ve done pet food drop off with that many stops that didn’t pay as much. Still worth the money as all you’re doing is drop off one after the other.

1

u/Efficient_Purchase88 23h ago

Although, the final drop off point would’ve been a factor too. I don’t wanna end up 40 miles away from home at the end.

1

u/Dub4Life420 17h ago

Then cancel that one but take the others… you can see all your drop off addresses ahead of time. Find the ones that 40 miles and cancel and only take the 11

And there's me hating multiple orders of 2 or more because so often they say the foods been stolen, mostly McDonald's because the staff are useless and can't be bothered to check drivers phones to make sure they're collecting the correct order, and tell me to cancel, it's ridiculous.

u/ariagoesrawr 1d ago

Nah this one would have definitely been worth the money.

1

u/GoodMilk_GoneBad 1d ago

I would have declined too. No interest in Walmart or Lowe's orders.

u/NerdyZombie83 1d ago

I'll take it

1

u/OkAmoeba371 1d ago

Even if it took you four hours and most markets that’s a good order, especially if it’s like in a slow point of the day

u/HiMyNameIsMarcos 22h ago

Id do that order in a heartbeat

u/Normal_System_3176 21h ago

I used to do these on Spark all the time

u/MajorRepulsive585 21h ago

ill take it 100%, thats good offer

u/XIIsides 20h ago

I turned off all walmart/lowes/home depot type orders by talking to support. it’s been a good decision so far as these orders are never worth it in my area.

1

u/PsychologicalEbb6400 20h ago

I feel like the people who are saying they'd take it don't know how inconvenient the Walmart orders are and how inaccurate the ā€œ10-15 bagsā€ estimate is. I had one that was 10-15 bags and it was 2 orders o e was 7 bags plus toilet paper and the other was like 30 bags and took up my whole trunk

2

u/Large-Ad9523 19h ago

I picked one up recently that didn’t warn me it had 10 individual 10kg bags of cat litter, along with 3 bags. I’m on a bike. Useless app.

u/Virtual-Chemist-5244 18h ago

Maybe if delivery is fast and quick

u/Alshanee 1d ago

Would have don’t this in a heartbeat . Some people are weak and have problems loading and unloading. I’m 6’5 300+. This is easy money.

u/FeistyAd9287 1d ago

Sounds like those metrics make it rough to be driving all day

u/Alshanee 1d ago

How exactly? I have an automobile just like everyone else it’s not like where running to the jobs. I literally do the water jobs all you guys complain about all day with no problem and I make good side money from it.

u/FeistyAd9287 23h ago

My back starts to bother me from driving at my height and weight I can't imagine if I were 6'5 300

u/Alshanee 23h ago edited 16h ago

No lie the only thing for me is my knee but that’s reoccurring since high school football. Most hours I did was 11 in a day and beside feeling like shit mentally, the drive doesn’t hurt me as much. I also have a suv that fits me perfectly so I don’t stress to much in or out.

I would not do this shit with a car lol. That bend to get in and out everytime would kill me.
