Good delivery times and the fixed delivery
With a large dinner rush a courier can prosper. The large dinner rush is a key event in the courier’s day. Especially if the courier is working the entire rush. From beginning to end, the opportunity to prosper is in a rush.
With this in mind, it is a given that the rush is very busy. Furthermore the solo courier gets a different kind of rush than the crew courier. There is a series of statistics the delivery apps will track. These ratings or stats are important to the courier’s bottom line. And reputation.
Good Delivery Times
Moreover one of the top statistics is good delivery times. This stat may be titled differently from app to app. However it is the same principle. The courier’s ratings are mostly about good delivery times. Among other things.
For example, the overall estimated delivery time. The closer the courier is to this mark, the better. Furthermore, it is good when the courier improves these delivery times. Good for stats. Good for future deliveries.
Similarly the courier will benefit from the increase in stats. Not only will the courier have a viewable rating, but also stats to go along with it. These ratings give the drop-off location details on the courier making the delivery.
These details are also important for the higher delivery tiers in the apps. Therefore it is important for the courier to make every effort to maintain good delivery times. Or good stats. It is beneficial to the courier in more ways than one.
Fixed Delivery
Finally, it is the fixed delivery. This delivery is important because it is up to the courier. It is a delivery gone bad. Part of the pick-up is still at the merchant. The courier has just gotten the callback. Depending on who forgot what this could be tricky.
In most cases there is little the courier can do. Furthermore, the delivery has been cleared from the couriers screen. With this in mind the courier is no longer able to access any details of the delivery. In most cases like this the delivery is complete. The drop-off location will have to negotiate with the merchant.
Yes, that sound you just heard is the courier’s stats getting dinged. One other option is a quick trip back to the merchant. This may or may not be possible. If the courier decides to try to fix the delivery, pausing current deliveries is a must. Additionally, it is up to the courier. Stay safe out there.
