Nearby Delivery and 3 Ways to Improve Offers
Many of the posts and articles on this site, are about the faraway delivery. The far away delivery can make or break a good shift.
Short distance deliveries are preferable. It’s a matter of economics and a smart business strategy. Getting more accepted contracts in a shift is a bonus. It translates to more opportunities for increased earnings. Every courier benefits from increased earnings!
This strategy is great when it’s happening. And it does happen. Especially in a delivery rush. Respectively.
However, what happens when no short distance offers are coming through? Can anything be done to improve the chances for short distance offers? Good question.
Nearby Delivery
The good news, and short answer, is yes.
Furthermore, the first step to shorter distance runs, is the location. The delivery app monitors a courier’s proximity to nearby merchants. Also the app will track the courier. Additionally, the app favors proximity.
Nudging the app is possible. The courier hovers a preferred merchant for offers that are from that merchant only. For example, the courier accepts offers for that merchant location. Thereby discarding all other offers. After completing the delivery, the courier returns to the same merchant location.
This strategy keeps distances short. And offers predictable. However, the courier must reject other offers. This ensures more chances at the preferred offers. Pro Tip: Keep track of acceptance ratings when using this strategy.
Another effective technique is staying in the selected zone. Furthermore, accept offers in the zone. Only. Turn down anything outside the zone. Locate a merchant on the map. Now create an imaginary zone around this location. Then scout the offers. If they are inside the zone, accept.

Finally, there are shop and deliver offers. These go well with short distance runs. Additionally these offers are different from grocery offers. They don’t require a large time investment. They also differ from hot fresh food offers. This is because there is no waiting for order preparation.
With this in mind, a typical shop and deliver drop off, is within two or three miles of the merchant location. Furthermore, it keeps those short distance runs happening.
A mix of short and medium range offers, creates a balanced delivery shift. Faraway offers can also mean a positive increase in earnings. Indeed, most far away destinations appreciate a delivery, from far away. Stay safe out there.
