Acceptance rating delivery and getting a better return
Accepting a delivery from the queue is a normal thing for the solo courier. Pulling one from the dispatch board is old hat for the crew courier. Once the delivery is accepted, or assigned, the courier is off to the races.
This process is best when completed as quickly as possible. The more deliveries a courier can get in an hour, the better for the bottom line. With this in mind, that same strategy can create less than ideal ratings for the courier using an app.

However, if the courier continues to reject offers because they are not good, the ratings also plummet. The rush creates back to back offers. However, more than half are low tip offers. Especially if the courier’s acceptance rating is lower than seventy percent. Naturally the courier wants to save resources. This helps to cut down on expenses.
Furthermore a curious thing happens in the app’s percentage counter. It seems to go down faster than it rises. Much like the stock market. But nothing like food prices. However, it creates an incentive to accept not so great offers. This helps keep the rating from plummeting. The offers can get worse. Until the courier must accept something.
One of the legitimate ways to avoid this is to try and avoid this. After my acceptance rating dropped to 40% I knew my strategy had to change. Many of the offers coming in were for mileage only. This meant every delivery offer only paid a couple of dollars. There were no tips beyond the mileage. Furthermore, consistently turning them down only dropped the acceptance rating more.
It was a slow climb back. Accepting low offers, back to back, started the numbers climbing again. However, it is important to note that it takes consistency. There must be a series of accepted offers from the queue in order to change the average. However, it is possible to bring the rating back up.
A better return
Additionally, as the rating improves, so do the worst offers. Not all, but some. This helps the climb back up the percentage ladder move a little quicker.
Finally, for this article, maintaining a certain percentage level is also a strategy. Accepting a mixture of offers is key. When opting to reject an offer I do consider the acceptance rating and how it will be impacted. Stay safe out there.
