Hi Mike.. hey I wanna know how come I haven't received my postmate tax for 2021, do u have any ideas what's going on.. I been contacting ubereats since they bought postmate in the middle of 2021 n they been telling me call back n they have put in an escalate note but it been more then 1 month
@@SangLe-kd3wd lyklkljt lol lllllplllllllllllllllllllllllllll I’ll m
ALL THAT TIME WASTED NOT WORTH IT. I'LL STICK TO DD, UE, UBER.🤷
@@1087shotwell 😆
Spark definitely beats Amazon prime prime you fill up than about a quarter more to get home spark your within a 15 mile radius save a bunch more gas and make more
IMPORTANT TIP 👉🏼👉🏼Don’t DECLINE anything, just let the time run out if you don’t want to do the order. BIG DIFFERENCE in seeing orders.
That’s what I’m hearing with the weight of AR, not a big fan of having such an emphasis on acceptance rate but it’s just how they’ve structured their platform
@@YourDriverMike so you know that the only orders that go towards acceptance rating are the round robins… that’s when they send you a notification saying There’s an order…blah blah.. you have this much time to accept. Those are sent just to you. The orders that say “First come first serve” don’t go against AR. Even letting the time run out will affect AR, BUT for some reason when you actually hit decline, it’s worse. They won’t send you many orders as opposed to letting the time run out, they usually still send orders. Your market doesn’t look like it’s that busy since you only showed too locations close to you. They do Sams club as well. My market has like a dozen Walmarts & like 5 Sams clubs, so I see lots of orders!
I hate the fact that the customer can take your tip back. And I don’t think that they have to sign anymore. I just started doing this and there was no place for them to sign.
@@YourDriverMike I would do good working gig in LA but I don't have a car. I will continue to follow your videos u update. But I really want to create a website to make income
@@timothyzakaria7397web sites aren’t really necessary anymore. Facebook groups are the way to build community and connection with your customers.
Ive been doing spark for 4 months. The associate is suppose to take the sticker off the bin and onto one of the bags. Sometimes they don't do that and you just need to make sure that they did before you leave. I love spark I have stop doing door dash and grub hub. I earn so much more money. I've never rejected an order. I had an order shop and drop for 1 item and it paid me 51.00 . I love spark.
That's awesome. What city?
1 item for $51? Wow what was item?
When you shop for groceries, when u get to self checkout, do you ring items up then scan the code, or do you not ring the items up & just scan code & go
@@davidellis7786 just a fridge
@ Faith Rippee The associate is not required to take the sticker off the bin and place on a bag/item. As a Walmart employee our job is to dispense the order to the customer/driver and in a timely manner. Yes the Spark app ask you to scan the sticker in for each order but the app also has a way for the driver to manually hand type the order info in. So yeah as a Walmart employee I’m not required to put a sticker on your bag we do it to be nice and help.
Most importantly, you can make WAAAAAY more more doing Shop & Delivery orders. I've had some that paid nearly $40 to shop for seven item or less, drive .8 miles. It took 15mins from start of shopping to drop off. That's where the money is.
I used to work for the Walmart OGP department. The reason there are so many bags with one item in them is due to how the shopping is completed. Basically each department of the store or temperature is seperated for shopping at different times.
Example: Ambient - Chilled - Frozen - General - Produce - Are all sperated and given to different Walmart associates to be shopped for. These departments can be further spread out among shoppers in order to make the shopping more efficient.
The customer will choose a pick up time, for example, 2 pm. All items must be shopped for and sorted somewhere around 2 hours before the set time. By the time the customer, or in this case delivery driver, arrives the orders have all been sorted out and all that is left to do is take out the chilled/frozen items and dispense them to the waiting vehicles.
The stager can also consolidate the orders but even they have hardly any time lmao
Tip baiting with Spark has become huge in my market. I’ve adapted (as I believe most drivers in my area have) to only accept orders that are worth it WITHOUT the tip. If you get it after 24 hours, great! If not, the order was still worth my time and effort.
The rule in any job or contract is to figure out the pay not including tips. Only accept jobs that pay enough before any possible tip. You are correct to only accept orders that are worth it without the tip.
That's so shady... I work on all gig apps accept for Instacart because I was in it before it was hella secure and I had a delivery to the ghetto for a big a$$ order with lobster and ny strips and sodas and it was bout 500$ and my SUV couldn't pack another bag and I handed to lady at door and back and forth from the car and the app asked me to take a photo and she had the stuff inside and I knocked on door and no answer. I just took a photo of the front door and made a not handed to customer which is common in this industry and I was under the impression that the gps would show me at her pad for 15 minutes and our GPS on both phones in the exact area and went about my day. Keep in mind not one grocery bag more could have been fit in my car. I probably did 4-5 more orders after that in the day and 2 days later I'm logged out and I cannot log back in. She said I never delivered her groceries. What a scumbag. I missed my child support that week because the ghetto scumbag got me kicked off my app that I loved and I was a high volume bartender in San Diego at a very very good place before COVID so I'm a high volume worker and a great assertive employee and I'm fast at everything. The reason I wrote a book in this comment section is because spark requires you to choose a zone and I recommend that you do NOT NOT NOT NOT work in a zone anywhere near a ghetto because someone nice to your face with pictures of Jesus and someone you wouldn't believe would pull this sht will get you deplatformed and no judge no jury and you don't eat and your kids don't eat because they WILL lie and say they didn't get their groceries. You can choose to work in zones in super nice golf course country clubs like where the super duper duper rich live and you don't gotta worry about that
@@richardhorn7688 I don’t work instacart nomore either. My car started acting up and would overheat 10-25mins into driving. I’d accept an order then on the way to the order the car would overheat so I had to cancel, they deactivated. A year later I try to appeal it and they still won’t let me get account back. Also one thing I didn’t like about instacart shopper was that some heavy batch orders they ask that you pay out your pocket for the order.
Even for uber, letting people change the tip after is so insane. They legit just cut your pay so they can save a few bucks. Insane. People who don’t tip really expect to get their food for basically free its insane
You shouldnt use these services if you can't tip makes no sense a order of 100 and no tip wtf if you can't afford to tip you should be using these services
I got so much earning after visiting his page gigs I’m so happy you are a helper too drivers
My boy. This intel is appreciated. I’m looking through all the apps and your vids are on point with the how to. Thanks my bro
Dang man..... The lighting in your home is awesome. Your audio is outstanding! I may need to subscribe on THAT alone..... AND .... I'm currently looking for gig work so YES, definitely subscribing. I may not do Spark, but I'll watch your other videos to see what else you've encountered. In MY humble opinion, I believe that WalMart isn't advertising this enough. If they were, you'd have gotten MORE deliveries instead of just sitting there. GREAT job in your channel!!!
Personally, I absolutely love spark. I lived about a 2 minute drive from one Walmart and about 10 minutes from another one. Plastic bins, or huge bags like DD/ Grub Hub bags are also really helpful. I usually take the trips worth paying for the miles regardless if I get a tip or not, but this app really saved my bunz during COVID. Thanks for doing the video :)
What city’s?
@@kasheem1747 -I was in WA state, Spokane area at the time.
I just started spark today and I'm just curious of how you're going to get paid because I can't get a hold of DDI at all, and I'm scared that they will not send me the email to get my money. Any suggestions
@@krystalstanford9315 - For me personally they ended up sending me a branch card where every week on Tuesday it direct deposits. I used to have a hard time getting ahold of DDI also.
@@krystalstanford9315 I just signed up a couple days ago, and it had me download the branch app on my phone and add my bank info to it. Also with the branch app it asked if i wanted a card. if you haven't downloaded the app inside it, it shows your job so you can add ddi to it,. i dont know how though since my was on it when i added it do to download branch when i applied for spark. hope this all made sense
i love how you show the screens, I appreciate that
Thank you!
Before you leave the Walmart make sure you have the scan sticker on the groceries. If you have two batches one in the trunk and one in the back seat. Sometimes the associates will forget to out these scan stickers on the groceries so you have to make sure they get on there before you leave.
I’ve been using Spark for 6 months. Have never rejected orders and my metrics are great yet, i rarely get sent orders anymore. It’s really frustrating. I’ve noticed you get 1 trip an hour unless it sends you an express order. Bonuses are sometimes hard to get because it counts by the trip not my the order. So 1 trip can contain up to 9-10 orders sometimes. Those batch orders are usually single items or just a couple items. Also bonuses have slowed down now that the holidays are over. Oh AND! You can pick up from one Walmart and it will send you across town out of your zone to deliver which I think totally sucks.
Alaway a lot of bags. I keep a foldable wagon in my car, I load it up with the larger orders and drop it in one trip. Also, if the app says TO SOON TO START TRIP, put it on airplane mode and then turn it off again, it will let you start the trip without having to wait for 15 minutes.
I would suggest a dolly/handtruck to simplify your delivery’s with heavy items or apartments with no elevators. A foldable one that’s easily storable behind your seat
Believe it or Not, Walmart actually sells a really good foldable cart that I have been using every single time. As @Jaime Valencia said, you will often run into customers who live in the back of apartments or in an apartment that's a city block-long and far from comfortable parking. You will soon see that having a cart will be your best friend. (And having totes as well)
Mike, thank you for another quality video. Watching yours and other similar channels makes one realize that there is no longer an excuse for not making money. Even if no one hires you for a regular job, as long as you can walk, you can deliver food. If you can bike, it's even better. And, with a car, the opportunities increase even more. You may not be making "a lot" of money, but would always make enough to put food on your table and have a roof above your head.
Thanks ihikebc, as this was brand new to me I don’t want people to write off Spark as I was certainly experimenting here. Much more to come!
I did my first Uber drive last night. Worked 3.5 hours and made just under 75.00. It was a good night ❤️
People or uber eats???
Thank you for the very informative video Mike. I didn’t know what to scan either at first. I literally just winged the whole experience and it was super simple. I did notice a lot of excess bags for items which is dumb. Like 2 small items in one bag etc ..I did my first double just an hour ago and I love it. They load it and I deliver it. What’s not to love. The only thing I don’t like is that the customer can adjust tip like UE .. but I feel like this could be a lot better than UE, DD, and GH as they have been total TRASH in my area. Less miles possibly and more money with spark. this could definitely be my new side hustle
Most orders are leave at door, so you scan the label & take a pic at the door.
Thanks dude. Best walk through I have seen.
I made 700 dollars working 5 hours everyday all thanks tooo gigs that got me the drivers boost and now I’m earning a lot and I’m happy 😊
Really? Wow …so the sticker scanning part when your about to deliver where do you scan cuz im about to do spark for the first time also lol
@@SeNiia How long did I take for you to get approved?
@@NOV123 to get approved? A long time lol when I first got the app it was in April around there
@@SeNiia Thanks. I guess I’ll have to be patient. Just signed up yesterday
@@NOV123 yeah it takes a while but u will get in
Given what you mentioned about the tip (can be adjusted up to 24 hrs), I'd suggest determining whether or not to accept an order based on the portion Spark is paying.
Thanks so much for this information I really appreciate it !!!
Make sure the associates give you (as you stated) at least one sticker per order (they're usually stuck to the side of the blue carts that bring the items out on). The stickers will be needed again to confirm delivery.
Actually it’s not necessary because you can manually enter the order number.
@@sharita7270 Correct, so just taking a picture of it for later is fine.
Yes, this is so important (IE: LAST BATCH ORDER). I broke the system last week because I did not confirm that the stickers were on the bags. I dropped the first order off and then realized the sticker was not on any of them. After an 20 to 30 min wait on Spark customer service. I decided to return to the store. Where it took another 20 min to figure out how to get past the scan screen without a MANUAL CODE or BAR-SCAN CODE. Loaders were completely STUMPED. Eventually I was able to return the other two orders to the store after they timed out......I did catch a 45.00 Shopping order right after that. I had to learn the hard way. I hope this helps someone else.
Just started doing this as a side hustle, have done just a few runs and don’t think it’s worth my time. The lesson I learned today is to never accept any large batch orders and never accept any apartments
I have been doing Spark since last September and the bonuses and offers are usually much better than on the other apps.
I've been a walmart in-store personal shopper, the reason why there are sometimes one item per bag is that one item might be from one department for example makeup. And the rest of the order might be food. It depends how many items are in a certain department, if theres one item for makeup and one item for camping and one for groceries, the order will just have single bags with the items.
Good and informative!!
In my experience all Walmart employees who do the online grocery loading are really cool and will allow you to snag one of those labels off of the blue bins and slap it onto a bag or whatever. I do Walmart deliveries for Uber quite often and it’s the same process! Great video
Much appreciated Clint, yes they were both super cool. If they had that when I was working for Walmart I think that’d be kinda cool to do
Yeah I always ask for the stickerrs and stick them to my pants with one higher up for the order in the trunk and the other further down my legs for the backseat to keep track of it.
If you ever loose track of which order is which for some reason try and spot an item that seems to be in only one order say a case of water or something then double check which order has that item.
@@YourDriverMike you’re welcome, but you are the one to thank! Your videos keep me informed and I have HEAVILY implemented the $1.75 minimum per mile during my daily deliveries. Thanks again for a great video, I can’t wait for Spark to finish my application so I can give it a go.
Same process with Doordash Walmart orders too
Nice information and thanks for sharing your thoughts on your experience
When I did spark delivery in the Albuquerque area they had pretty high volume and good pay. I was getting new orders within a few minutes of having completed deliveries. The only order I remember having to scan at the time was an express order that had a yellow barcode on it. Also, my understanding is that spark removed the availability setting a few months ago and only has spark now.
This might be random but I love the lighting you use for your videos. The background I mean, but also the video lighting as well.
:)
Your videos are always helpful. I drive for Uber Eats and I tried signing up for door dash but it says that they reach the capacity of drivers in my area :/
I have a two door car and I’m debating weather I should try this Walmart spark app.
Really appreciate that! I always enjoy comments about the lighting because I’m really into it haha background is all various Philips Hue lights and the face lighting is two Elgato Key Lights ✌🏼
@@YourDriverMike bro give the galaxy light projector a try with the background lighting. You'll definitely love it
I just started deliveries for Wal-Mart via Door Dash last week. The stickers do have to be on the bag or the item because, after you drop off sometimes you have to scan them again. Next time just put those stickers on yourself if the associate didn't.
I've personally order from Walmart every couple weeks & there is always a large label on one of my bags that has a bar code & my first initial & last name.
That's probably what gets scanned.
extremely helpful, thank you
In my marketplace (Ft. Worth TX) I usually do spark early morning like 8 to 12 and the best orders at least from my sight is buy and deliver cause the app gives you so much info to find the items inside the store that ridiculously easy to be outside in 15 to 20 min and the plus for this orders is that they pay a base of $20 and if you're good enough looking o you know your walmart you can expect to do 2-3 orders per hour
Which area you work at? I haven't tried Spark. Just doing DoorDash dinner time.
@@J__7777 the zip code that I use is 76114, there are 4 walmarts and 1 sam's club around so you get a lot of offers but it works better early morning like 8am to 12pm is a good window
Thanks mike I’ve been door dashing for two weeks morning and afternoons a few days a week, some orders take me out of my zone, it’s not worth the pay for $6-10 dollars plus there are some areas for safety reasons I won’t dash again in. I’m haven’t started with GH or Uber yet I’m approved just figuring out what my market and pay with work best in! Thanks for teaching again so much information with different platforms.
Thanks Mike. Look forward to some future videos on this. I definitely need a back-up app. Uber Eats never worked right on my phone when I first started this 1.5 years ago, so I gave up on it. I have a pension and an E-Commerce business, plus a little stream from You-tube and Amazon affiliates. There is a Walmart about 2 miles away from my house, and a Walmart Market (groceries only) even closer. So this is viable since I can wait at home and do other stuff.
I’m glad you can see the items now
Usually if you click on the items it will show you what the items are. Maybe because it was such a large order it didn’t. BUT once you accept it, you can definitely see what the items are, only if you check before starting trip.
Thank you for your help🫵🏾
Good info. It was mentioned that Shipt requires customer signature. This is only true for orders with alcohol. It’s not required on any other orders.
I treat the orders the same as I do with food apps. The miles have to make sense but so far, I have had decent miles to pay ratios. Anyone looking to do this, it is worth it especially if you can do 4 more hrs as you can seriously rack up
I had the same thing happened on DD today, u have to have the Walmart associate put those bin stickers on the bag so u can scan when drop off.
Did my first few deliveries today in Port Saint Lucie Florida your video helped make it easy there's alot of Walmarts in my area so I don't think there will be a shortage of deliveries here seams decent as long as you know how to figure for your gas mileage
Hey Mike, Tom from Mt Vernon NY here. I'm glad to see Walmart Spark seems simple enough with the pay scale looking decent, but the one caveat that may deter me from signing up is the fact the nearest Walmart from me is about 35 miles North from me in Mohegan Lake (in the Cortlandt Town Center for anyone familiar with that area). That leaves me on the fence.
In Westchester traffic? I wouldn't even bother tbh(I'm in the BInghamton area and we have 2 within 6 miles of each other). I'd try Instacart; I average $23-25 hourly but I bet they tip better down there since it's a more affluent area.
Thank you for the info.
You can view everything the person is getting after you accept the order and click the start trip button :) it’s neat!!
My boyfriend does door dash in PGH when the weather isn't crappy and snowy as a side hustle. I'd say that from his experience, if you're close to a Walmart, this sounds like a better gig. Just because you aren't going to be driving all over the city's windy streets and you're going to be pretty much locked into one store.
Cool experience! Can’t believe you turned down a $20 order for the low miles. 😂 that’s a rare one on food delivery. Seems like if you had accepted it you’d be between 20-25 per hour. I may finish my app for spark this week. Add it to the roster!
Thanks. Ive been on a waitlist.
Thanks for watching werdrath
Thanks so much, your video gave me more insight to what I was getting into and if it is worth it. I’m curious what do you think is more beneficial: Spark or Uber Eats?
Thank You.
Just grab a label from one of the blue bins and stick it to one of the bags on your order. This way you can scan it again when you get to the drop off.
I have to check this out!!
I have unmedicated ADHD, finding out that I have more than a few seconds to accept or decline relieves some anxiety. Thank you for your content and honesty.
Hey mike is been awhile, happy New Years man!! So this app is it worth doing because I wanna do something new this year with other apps that pay a lot.
I work for Walmart and that is the correct scan, sometimes depending on the type of order it could be on the bag or product itself. Groceries are generally on the bin. I kinda wish I could do spark, as for bagging there is no set way to bag. I don't work directly for home shopping (Ogp) but anyone in the store may end up having to do a pick walk ( I work backroom). Make sure you ask for one of the stickers it will make your life much easier.
I'm just learning sparks but so far I love it..no scedule to make work when I want better then top dasher ..
I love this job ! I'm a sparks delivery driver !
Nice informative video. When signing up it gave me the option to sign up as a business which is great so I am hoping I can get larger orders since I have a van..
7:55 They usually have one on the bags. As for the 2nd one they usually put on another bag or they sometimes ask if I want it on my jacket or on my dashboard or console.
I'm in the process of getting a background check to start doing this but I was gonna say you scan the big when you picked up at Walmart next time this happens after scanning it take a regular picture of it so when you drop off you could manually put in the number from the picture maybe.
Actually, thanks for the heads up. After a long wait I was just accepted to Spark last night. I saw another video last night that bummed me out. I am much older and unemployed, driving for DoorDash. Out of all the platforms, which do you recommend?
I like your back lighting colors in your pad .
You were asking about the bags with one item in it, I have experience in the Online Grocery Department at Walmart and the OGP department works in 3 teams, you have your team that does the shopping your team that does the staging "organizing" and your team that does the dispensing "bringing the items out to the delivery drivers and customers doing pickups". Each person on the team that does the shopping is shopping for multiple people at once keeping the orders separated between 9 bins and multiple shoppers might have a bin for the same customer. One of those shoppers may have only had to grab one item for the customer leaving a bag with only one item in it.
You can’t see the specific items until you actually arrive at the store ready to pick up. If you can’t deliver an item because it’s to large or something Sparks support team will help you with taking the order off if you are unable to manually do it on the app for whatever reason there support teams are top notch. In terms of the single bagged items it seems they try to keep certain things separate like say medicines and what not from other items so I get a lot of bags that seem empty but upon closer inspection has one tiny item in it lol. Cases of water or soda etc always adds an extra trip to and from the car for me but typically I can haul a large order in two trips most of the time depending on how many canned goods they have and type of drop off house/apartment. In store pickups bring cart with you scan as they hand items to you don’t worry about order, then typically upon delivering the in store scan pick ups scan the items in the car then drop off take picture saves time. Side note I like how Walmart does the smiley face rating post delivery so you can double check quickly to make sure you delivered to correct address. In terms of typical order offer times Walmart sends out orders pretty periodically throughout the day so mornings I often get curbside orders from 7-9am. Then lunch and post lunch downtime is typically a good time for in store pick ups for me sometimes curbside pick ups too but maybe just twoish average. Then dinner rush is usually pretty slow but post dinner rush can be good from like 7-9pm for curbside orders or leftover in store pickups from earlier in the day. If you have a snowstorm coming into town or holiday run spark, New Year’s Eve we had a snowstorm roll through and I had so many good orders I couldn’t even keep up with them all. Also been thinking about buying a fold up cart in order to make long apartment hallways more manageable something to think about 👍
yes I need a cart so bad for apartments and retirement homes etc!
I used to work in the digital shopping department, the reason you will get one item in a bag sometimes is because orders are shopped by multiple people at the same time in the different sections of the store. Then it gets taken to the prep room and stacked up with the other totes for the order that others shopped
Hi Mike, I see this video was put out a year ago. There are some differences where I live to Walmart. I haven't worked Spark, but I get Walmart orders on Uber Eats in my area. Our pickup spots with numbers are blue, not that it matters- just might be different for other areas. The barcode stickers are typically on the blue bins when they wheel the carts out to your car, with uber eats they take the stickers off and put them on the bags. Some don't do it to "Walmart protocol". I've had a mass load of stickers on one bag lol. Sometimes you gotta learn as you go! Thanks for your videos, they're helpful!
If the store is not putting the scan labels on the bags they will have a sticker on the bins when they load the car. The one you scanned to start the delivery. You can take that sticker with you and put it on one of the bags so you can scan it at the drop off location. The store employee will give you a sticker if you ask for it.
Thanks for teaching me something new. Subscribbled
I live in the OKC metro. I live 5 minutes away from a Supercenter and about 3 minutes away from a neighborhood market. there's a super center for neighborhood market within About 5 miles up wherever you're at in the metro. I'm definitely going to get this to try
I love this job ! I'm a sparks delivery driver ! 14:03
Yes lots of bonuses
By the way, I use several collapsible bins that I found at Costco and I have a great folding cart that I purchased at Sams Club for moving those big orders. The only problem with the cart is there are two wheels that you need to replace with larger ones when you are using the flatbed mode, but I have moved cases of water and soda, along with groceries with ease and the collapsible crates actually stack neatly when they are expanded.
I always make sure I get two labels for each delivery bc same thing happened to me. Got to house and was a no. contact order and I didn’t have a sticker to scan. I couldn’t bypass anything either. I had to drive all the way back to Walmart and wait to get a label reprinted. I ended going to store twice bc I picked up a door dash order then had to drop it off then go back to store to get the label so I could get paid for the order and clear my screen. 😂 Found out later you can get a Manuel label from chat support to put in in case something happens to your actual label . Its a learning process as you go. Things come up and lucky chat support is usually pretty quick
Thank for your video! It just came out on Sacramento, CA. The 24-hour tip thing is the norm for Instacart. That’s what I do right now. Sounds like Spark learned from other food delivery apps, except they should let you see the items like Instacart does so that you can see if they will all fit in your vehicle. Walmart is really bad with bagging. All of their online orders (my personal ones that I pick up) come in 4 bags when they only needed 1 or 2. I don’t know why they do that.
that's a good amount for that delivery. ready doesn't always means it's ready keep that in mind.
Some zones you are able to see the items when you click on it before acceptance. Your zone just doesn't allow it right now. Also always take a sticker off the blue bin with the customer name. You scan the sticker before you start delivery then once at the customer just scan that same sticker. Then you will be all set. Customers shouldn't have to sign. If it brings it up, the app should say just put a line through it. I believe it says that in the instructions.
Another way to look at the situation is to base it on the time that you actually worked, not the shift. During your 'down' or wait time, one could make use of the time (run errands that are close by, work on other online side hustles). Also, I don't consider the time it takes me to get to the store. If a person had a 9 to 5 that wasn't home based, they'd have to drive to get to work.
True on the commute time but 9-5ers don’t commute numerous times each day.
Mike next time when you have anything to scan just make sure to grab the stickers. usually grocery orders dont have scans and only online order drop offs do. in your case that was just a weird one. Ive had wrong names but correct osn numbers. Sometimes the workers loading cars are just really bad at their jobs. Ive noticed at least in my city spark gives me absurd amounts of time to pickup and complete the orders. It very relaxed in my opinion. I also get orders that sometimes people dont know are coming like medicare stuff. subscription stuff. it can get weird but its fun! less stressful then doordash but i also do doordash.
If you complete the delivery atleast by quarter past the hour you can race back to the store and get another order for the following hour
Thanks for the heads up John
At my local stores, I park as close to that orange door as possible. Usually isn’t too many others present when I do a few orders between 8PM and 10PM when my other apps aren’t hoppin’. I did 2 orders and got paid 36.50 in about 45 minutes.
Somebody already said it but always ask the associate for the sticker to take with you. Also never decline the offer let the time run out or somebody else usually will accept it beside the one (time to accept are longer) for you only.
I just signed up to be a Spark Driver. I thank you for this information as I live approximately 5 miles away from the nearest Walmart. I will have to reconsider this.
Utilizo un software capturador de bots programado por *LEACH_TECHZ* para tomar pedidos automáticamente una vez que aparecen. para mi sorpresa, el capturador de bots es muy sensible a la hora de capturar órdenes de alto pago. ahora estoy ganando dinero con buenos consejos ☺️
Thanks for the info I do some walmart orders already with ubereats here in the Tampa Bay area
Thanks for watching! Glad to help
Where did you get those cool lights from in the background?
Walmart did you bad! I've done this before, and the tags on the bins are actually printed on stickers. The Walmart employee was suppose to remove those from the bins, and stick them on at least one of the bags. They usually have 2-5 stickers. Sometimes they put it on every single bag. You really only need one.
so I was a manager at walmart and worked for the company for 13 years. I worked in the department which is called OGP (online grocery pickup) that gets the order ready. THe reason you may have 1 item in a bag is because they arent shopped for all at the same time. Associates shop for muliple orders at the same time and they do it by department and specific things. So you have may have a bag of just one shampoo or something like that and it's because the associatew as shopping that area for ALL the orders for then nexxt few hours .
Also also take a STICKER with you cause scanning before dropping off is required kind of like Amazon flex
I had to pause this video to comment on some of the questions you’ve asked. I don’t haven’t tried this service yet, I’m actually just now heading about it through this video so thanks for this video… I’m guessing that you were given close to 4 minutes so you can go through it like you did to see if you want to make the trip, like are the miles worth it, the amount of items and so on and so forth.. Also, when I would pick up orders from Walmart buy Uber eats or Postmates, they’d have bags with just a single item, I would just throw other bags into it to make less trips from my vehicle to the customer… Then I started using the food bags that I’ve used to deliver from Uber eats and Postmates. They really helped.
There are 3 types of deliveries round Robin's which looks like what your order was which was sent to you only thats why given extended time. First come first serve which goes out to all drivers that are active at that time and they go fast. Then surge pricing orders which are like round Robin's but with incentives due to high demand few drivers
Hey mike 3yr with spark orders are relished to drivers at every 40min of the hour. Unless a batch or express order since they have a longer start time as the employees are fulfilling the order. Best rule of thumb is just keep on accepting due to the algorithm will see you as a hot driver. Giving you priority for any difficult or late orders. Also, tip for all bonuses read it word for word because it could be just a store only one. If so and you don't already have your stores code memorized hit my zone and click each one till you find it
What are round Robin orders? Are those the ones with like 9 trips for one set price?
We get our at 20 past the hour, with the pick up at the 45
All thanks too you I have been getting a list of sparks in my area than I used too I’m so great full for meeting you now I can make 1550$ every week with Walmart spark
I’m in Orange County and I do Uber Eats and DoorDash.
UberEats has the Walmart orders not DoorDash like in other states. The label to be scanned is that the tote had, the employee just attaches it to a bag.
I work in Walmart OGP and we are supposed to be getting delivery soon. It could be worth it for me to deliver orders before and after work. Thanks for the info.
The labels are the barcodes that was on the bin, sometimes they are put onto the bin, other times on the bag(s) and other times, both. Whenever there is a label on the bin, they take it off and put it onto the item for me.
I'm trying to get back on Spark, but I do some WalMart on Roadie. Our pickup is simplified and not in a good way, we enter the parking space, and wait, there's no feedback on the app as to whether the order is ready or not. Typically at least one bag in the order will have that sticker like you showed, and that's what you scan.
For help carrying, I recommend getting some grocery boxes (boxes, not bags) from Amazon, these'll also keep things from sliding around in your vehicle.
You scan the label again, the one you scanned at pickup. You have to take that with you.
