A better hustle for the flipside delivery
There it is again. The flipside. Things are going along semi smoothly and then wham! The flipside. Once upon a time it was a cool thing. These days it’s more of a different kind of thing. Maybe even the polar opposite of something.
While it is good to be thinking about polar anything in this heat, the polar opposite doesn’t always mean good things. With regard to deliveries. For example, the wrong address in the app, and the correct one is across town. On the opposite side of town.
A better hustle for the flipside delivery
That example is rare, but has the essence of the polar opposite. With this in mind it is a good time to note the additional influence the flipside can play on a delivery. Things can get opposite real quick. Additionally there are external factors to consider.
Traffic is first and foremost of these external influences. Traffic at 7:15 in the morning is the polar opposite of what it is at 7:15 in the evening. Furthermore, factor in the season and maybe there’s light maybe not. This relates directly to the arrival times and pickup times of the courier.
This is when allowing that extra cushion of time helps enormously. Particularly if the courier is working an opposite schedule. Another consideration is the difference in merchant prep times. There will be differences that are as clear as night and day.
The first of these being crowd density. Depending on the merchant, the 10:30 morning crowd grows exponentially as the lunch hour advances. In contrast most merchants are sweeping up and locking the doors at 10:30 in the evening. With the last few hours having been a winding down process.
The courier will benefit by keeping the hustle steady and constructively using any stall time. For example texting the morning customer to advise of a delay while being delayed. This is one way the flipside delivery can be completed with a little extra hustle. Stay safe out there.
