Some of the better ways to improve acceptance ratings
Couriers work to complete every delivery. Some deliveries are short. Some deliveries are longer. This is true in both time and distance. Additionally, couriers have a high capacity for remembering.
With this in mind, it is important to consider some of the elements of being a courier. The main one of these is a livable income. Therefore, the courier must be diligent. In a crew environment this is critical. In a crew environment the courier will not have an opportunity to pick and choose deliveries.
Moreover, the crew courier will have a chance to address the next delivery available in the queue. Regardless of the drop-off location. The idea of skipping a delivery or taking a delivery out of turn is inconceivable for the crew courier.

This is because the deliveries are dispatched equally. Every courier learns some things after time spent doing the work. One of these things is the tip strangeness. It’s a simple rule that holds true. Most of the time. Tips are not connected to their location.
For example, if the delivery is going to a large house it doesn’t mean a large tip. Ever. Furthermore, just because the delivery is going to a very small drop-off location, the same holds true. Inversely of course. With this in mind, it’s a given that some deliveries are better than others.
In a crew environment it wouldn’t be fair for one courier to get all the good deliveries. This would leave the bad ones for the other couriers. Furthermore, the concept of teamwork also goes out the window.
A delivery app has many elements that are similar to a delivery crew. The ratings in an app are about fairness as well as tracking progress. Indeed some of the ratings can be important to the quality of the offers the courier receives.
For example, the acceptance rating. This is the number of offers accepted. It is compared to the number of offers rejected. The percentage of accepted offers matters to the ratings. The higher the better. Just because the courier can reject every offer doesn’t mean do it. The acceptance rating matters.
Accepting offers is key. Especially if the courier has a low rating. Even low ball offers. Do this consistently. Turn down nothing. Some offers will be long. With short pay. Accept them until the rating has improved.
Once the courier sees the acceptance rating improve it’s possible to be more selective. It is possible to improve a rating dramatically this way.
Worth the Effort
On the fly it works out to about four deliveries accepted back to back, then the courier is free to be picky with one. After that one, repeat the process. Before long the courier will have a much improved acceptance rating. This holds true with any delivery app being used.
Furthermore they all watch these stats. Even if they do not require it of the courier, the numbers are still gathered. The courier’s quality of offers stems largely from this acceptance rating.
Advanced levels in most apps rely on info from this rating. Keeping it high, is more efficient than returning it to acceptable. Stay safe out there.
