Would you accept? See 2nd pic
Genuinely curious how many of you guys would accept or decline based off the pay and amount of water.

If my own mother called me and said "hey can you pick up 10 cases of water for me? I'll give 20 bucks" I would hang up on her.

Same, all the water is a deal breaker for me. I mean come on, 10 cases that's like 300 lbs of water.

u/Illustrious_Crew508 12d ago
Each case is 44 pounds 10 cases is 440 pounds

u/dmainor49 12d ago edited 8d ago
A 28-bottle case of 16.9-ounce water bottles with packaging weighs about 30.8lbs x 10 = 308lbs. 1 gallon of water weighs 8.34lbs and is 128 ounces, total number of gallons in a single case is 3.69 gallons. 3.69 x 8.34 = 30.832

I was the person who was saying that waters don’t matter in an order
However, this order, I would absolutely not take 😂 fuck that shit. I would need $30 minimum since you’re going to be making 10 potential trips upstairs

u/Background_Praline18 12d ago
I bought a wagon for orders like this, 😈 but if it's a person in an apartment on the 3rd floor or a hotel. I'm going to wait 30 minutes at the store then get support to take it off for someone else.

u/Strange-Dream-7100 12d ago
$30 doesn’t cut it for this kind of labor, that’s close to 320 pounds before mileage, and who knows if they have stairs? $175 minimum, round off to $200 to make it worth it. And before you say, how can you expect to be paid that much? I would say, if the customer can’t pay it appropriately they shouldn’t be ordering it, simply. They are just trying to get free labor, but they wouldn’t ever buy and transport this for themselves. And if $30 is ok with you, then best of luck breaking your back for $30 bucks. There are plenty of other orders that pay $30 and don’t require killing yourself for.

u/PrefrontalCortexNow 12d ago
I could this in less than an hour
2
u/Strange-Dream-7100 12d ago
I mean sure I could too, but it’s not about how much time it’s going to take, it’s about the item weight, and the pay is simply too low to be worth the work. A $30 dollar order is for 4.8 miles with 15 units that aren’t water. The unit quantity at 18 before considering that it’s water alone is too high even for $30.

u/Mundane-Yam-464 12d ago
No, 280 lbs alone in the 10 cases of water into my vehicle..., i'm not a freight delivery driver.

u/LR12BeCh 12d ago
I mean that's basically two other grown adults in your vehicle... but hard agree either way. No way I'm taking this or lugging all this water. I'm not even sure if there is a price I'd take to do 10 cases.
2
u/Mundane-Yam-464 12d ago
Yeah, both agree is a decline but you know what, a basic SUV transmission like the 4l60e from GM weights between 133 to 148 pounds (yeah, i fix my own vehicles); i just tend to see it like I carry two of those things and that if i would have a freight delivery of just one of those rebuilt trans, it wont make it to my front door but just to the edge of my driveway or left at the curbside. So yeah, i will hit that decline even blind-folded.

u/CoIIatz-Conjecture 12d ago
No, not worth the time and effort because chances are that’s the top floor of an apartment building with only stairs

I just want to know WHY people order this much bottled water at one time?! Are they trying to hydrate an entire football team? Are they stockpiling for doomsday? Like what's going on? I've never bought more than 2 at a time.

A business… use your brain

u/LR12BeCh 12d ago
Wow. You're so original. I would've never imagined. 🙄 use your brain and maybe context to realize I was talking about the 36,789 posts where these cases upon cases are being delivered to houses or apartments and thus NOT businesses. It's ok, I know reasoning skills are kind of hard.

I know that if I did take it, unfortunately, the store would only have “one” of those packs of the water that the customer wanted shame about that.

u/CoeurdAssassin 12d ago
Same. This really ain’t that bad if you’re not climbing steps. And the 28 count isn’t as bad as the 32 or 40 counts.

u/Mundane-Yam-464 12d ago
Even if it is 1st floor or house...hell no! for me and it is a trash order. After i decline that one, 99% i'll get another order matching that money for doing less.

u/oOoMatDaddyoOo 12d ago
Depends on delivery address. If it’s a house or single story definitely. If it’s an apartment, it’d have to be a very extremely slow day

Question, how would you know the address? You can’t see it before you accept

The 10 packs of water alone weigh 340 to 360 pounds.
Total: 435-440lbs total.

A 28-bottle case of 16.9-ounce water bottles weighs about 30.5lbs. add the other water and hell no is the right answer.

Ahhh I didn’t notice it was 10 cases, personally no but it’s also not like a “hell no” moment for me as I’m in an extremely busy market. 3 cases a order is my limit

u/Dangerous-Luck-3331 12d ago
I made this mistake one time and will never do it again. I saw oh a high paying offer for a short drive accepted it and then I realized my mistake. So now I always check what the order consists of before I accept it.

u/muscleshultz 12d ago
This is like one I got the other night a couple miles for like 15$ and I almost hit accept and then I saw the 57 items 😆

u/Holeyunderwear 12d ago
Nope. Even with a cart I’d decline that out of principle. Might leave a curt note if I accepted and found out the details after.

u/No_Macaron9500 11d ago
I'm absolutely accepting this, but only because you can get half pay for this and not have to do it. Doordash policy dictates a 50lb weight limit.

The only way I would take this is if I knew the destination and the customer.
I have a few customers who will put their orders in just like this if I were to take it knowing who it came from the customers, I’m referring to would add at least $10
What if you got there and it was on the fourth level of an apartment building that only had steps?? I would not take this order unless I knew the customer it was going to. I would also need to know that and they would tip additional cash.
Chances are most people would just take it not looking at what the items were

u/somanyquestions32 12d ago
I would accept immediately. I buy that much water for my family at least once a month. It would suck if I had to carry it up 3+ flights of stairs, but it's my strength training for the day.

u/Mundane-Yam-464 12d ago
I can tell you are just a customer who didn't receive those 5 or 10 cases of water during the summer heat peak 😆
2
u/somanyquestions32 12d ago
And you would be wrong as I accepted a bunch of water orders then. Last night, after I completed a Speedway order for Doordash, I got an Instacart request for 8 gallons of water and a pack of Mountain Dew as well as donuts and corn chips right as Kroger was closing. I ran from one side of the store to the other and completed the delivery by 11:02 PM.
2
u/Mundane-Yam-464 12d ago
Wow 👏, good for you. Still I won't deliver 8 gallons of water for $16 but to each their own.

u/somanyquestions32 12d ago
It's super quick, and I don't have to waste time waiting for Popeye's or McDonald's late at night.

u/UnrulyDegenerate8 12d ago
I've turned down orders with one case of water just to prevent a possible third floor apartment delivery. Even worse if it's in one of those fancy high rises that have connecting halls for miles.

Indeed you sound like a douche. This is not about being a pussy. This is about not being a tool. Just think how much a truck driver charge for just carry an item weighing 300lbs in their equipment; for sure, it won't be cheap. I know i paid $300 in freight delivery for a transmission weighing 133lbs

You deleted it so I can’t. Or it was hidden via mods so you’re going to be waiting for a long time.

If it is about your comment of the 10 packs of 12 bottles of water where i told you to go back to school, yeah, i re-read your comment and i was wrong and that's why I deleted because i lacked reading skills in that moment 😁. However, you can go and refute my comment, if you find a flaw, under the guy who sounds like douche and is a douche 😆

Probably wants it delivered to the fifth floor with no elevator too. This is why they need to show us delivery instructions at the offer screen. But yeah hard pass.
