Special requests, and the good vibe delivery.
The delivery rush is an important event for the courier. It happens as a result of increased merchant sales. It is one of the better times for the courier to accept delivery offers. In a rush there is a lot of energy. And possible prosperity.
With this in mind, it is a benefit to the courier to accept delivery offers in the hours of the day that will have the most potential. The rush. Not only does this create the best opportunities for the courier but also keeps delivery completions happening.
Back to back delivery offers are a benefit to the courier. Furthermore, it fosters consistent earnings. It is possible for the courier to continuously accept new delivery offers during a rush. The principle is keeping the wheels turning, but always in the direction of the pay.
Special Requests
Indeed, the courier must be goal oriented and single minded to the point of obsession. Then, ding, reset and start over! Deviation from the route takes time. The ratings and stats are real, and every second of time is scheduled. (Respectively)
Then the potential deviation happens. It is potential because the courier must choose it. The special request. It most often comes from the drop off location up ahead. Furthermore, the drop-off location is requesting the courier alter course.
The courier isn’t imagining it, things just did get sticky. A stop on the way to a drop-off location, while carrying hot fresh cargo, isn’t in the pro-tips book. I checked to be sure. Not only is it a bad idea but also can lead to difficulties for the courier.
Rather than list specifics, it is fair to simply say, special requests are special for a reason. Once upon a time, before the apps were widely used, the special request was usually alcohol. The courier was offered a ten dollar tip. On top of what was already committed.
The task? Stop and pickup a six pack of beer. If the courier decided to help, the deal would be legit. The courier would pay 8$ for the six pack and get the 10$ at the drop-off. It’s possible it’s not always a good deal. Furthermore, in cases involving age restricted substances, the courier is taking on unnecessary risk.
Good Vibe Delivery
There are exceptions to rules and sometimes the special request is really special. For example a request to alter course and pickup diapers. Or a request to alter the course and drop off half a meal to a spouse at work.
As always it is up to the courier what type of special request is achievable and which not. However experienced couriers know; it isn’t if the special request will happen, but when! Stay safe out there!
