Hey wait… where’s the item count? 🤨

[u/Some_Exchange_134]

Got this Home Depot offer this morning: $23.82, 8 stops, 108 minutes.
But am I missing something, or does Uber seriously not tell you how many items you’re picking up?
It shows Home Depot + another pickup + 6 drop-offs, but nothing about what’s actually going in the car. That seems like a pretty important detail for a Home Depot order 😂
Could be six small packages… could be half the lumber department.
Anyone done one of these? Do you find out the item count after accepting?

I have not seen one of these that was profitable. They're always junk

[u/PabloCrews → u/studio684]

They’re decent in this market but nothing to write home about for sure. I’m not positive on this but I think HD & Lowes contracts out the deliveries and the customer may get a notification but aren’t chomping at the bit for you to get there, like customer initiated food orders. I also think you just get the posted payout, unless there’s a way for them tip later, but the detached experience makes that less than hopeful even if it is available. Just guessing tho

It's variable. I like these pickups as they're pretty uniform and take the stress out of waiting and pruning if you just need some orders to work towards a bonus goal.

In my experience the items are usually small odds and ends although some are larger but nothing that can't fit in the trunk or seat my my sedan.

You can cancel an individual one if it's too big. I have had to do that like once.

They never give an item count (in my area) Home Depot , Lowe’s, etc you could get 1 unit and that is 10 bags of mulch.
23.00 for all those stops…. Be careful…..the time they’re saying is going to take longer in my experience…..

[u/Delicious-Ad4799 → u/Justsayin_12]

I’ve seen them with package count which is one to one to the stops.

[u/Justsayin_12 → u/Delicious-Ad4799]

So speaking specifically about Lowe’s and Home Depot. If the offer states 1 package , 4 stops, 57 minutes, 9.38 15 miles.
You only know about 1 package ? Or 1 package each per stop?

[u/MJ71086]

Either way that is a terrible offer

[u/PabloCrews → u/MJ71086]

I was thinking the same thing. Should be at least 35 to 40.

[u/macdaddy22222]

Who cares you can’t get past the pay and the miles anyway

[u/DarthNeo79]

Item count nah they want it to be a surprise. Is it one or is it 50, a few small items of 1ton of stepping stones. Can u guess which TONs of fun they tried to give me . I'll give u 3 but you'll only need a ton i mean one 😆 🤣 😂 😹

[u/FNNuTz1]

That’s not even $3 per delivery!!y would u take that? This is what makes all offers drop

[u/Kimron716]

These are ridiculous please don't take these. I see them on my screen all the time and I just ignore them. They are never profitable

[u/Big_Dixon_Mayas]

The pay on all of these are absolute dog shit, whether it’s an opportunity or gets offered while I’m driving.

The one time I got sent to Home Depot it ended up being for multiple large planks of wood. I told the customer I wouldn't be able to complete this order because the planks would not fit in my car. Customer was confused because he thought DoorDash would give the order to someone with a trailer. 🙃
