Everyone will cry about something. Jesus Christ complain about having to work hahah. I make $800+ a week with Point Pickup. You guys are just lazy.
Totally agree with you. I do instacart and this. And I make quite a bit. Must mean you’re doing something right when they call you and ask if you wanna take on 2 more batch orders at 40 bucks a batch. Not including tips 🤷♀️ idk what these guys are talking about smh
I’m just researching it a little. But it’s something you would recommend ?
You must be working 80 hours per week since in my area you average about $10 per hour. Not a combination, just facts
I worked a 12 hour day an 8 hour day and two 6’s this week, I am currently sitting at 952 made with more pending. Just saying you do not know half of what you think you do, kid.
Right! I just started under recommendation from a financial counselor while I’m working to reduce debt. I had today off from my regular job, so did my first deliveries, and it let me pick up 3 at once. I only ran 2 runs of deliveries for about $40 in an hour and a half 🤷🏻♀️
Maybe it’s based on market saturation and need. It’s not a big thing in my area yet, and lots of orders sit waiting to be claimed. I’m sure once it gets more people signing up here it’ll be harder to make money, but for now I think it’ll be lucrative for days off.
We used to make that here in NC, but as of 6/17/21 you can barely catch an order. Too many drivers not enough orders anymore. Pay sucks now.
For my first day really working with point pick up I made bank. I am able to accept 4 orders at a time. And I get batch orders too. I was called by someone from point pick up to take on 2 extra batch orders that were 40 per batch. Just In one day I made 140.00 not including the tips. They’re working on allowing us to cash out same day. Idk why y’all can’t accept more than one order per hour. Because I can most definately have up to 4 orders active and if you grab a batch. Then that’s 5 orders right there. If you’re good at what you do. Then you’re going to get tipped.
Right. I made 213 my first day after tips. This is day three for me and my balance is sitting at 498 not including Sunday tips
How do you get your account unblocked? Didn’t even know til I tried to sign in. The “supervisor” that called me after 3 days said I’ve always been a problem. I seriously have no idea what shes talking about I’ve never had an issue. And she was soooo rude and hung up on me. I really love my job and want to keep it. How can this be fixed? Anyone got a phone number for a real human?
I think it might depend on the area. I’m in Indianapolis, and the batches here are 8 dollars to 19 dollars if you catch them early in the morning. However, there are so few batches a day it doesn’t seem worth it. I do instacart as well, and with instacart I can make 200 a day easy. So, 8 dollars and I don’t where I’m going or how much I’m getting doesnt seem all that attractive. 🤦♀️
I don’t know how you guys are so lucky with batch orders but here in NC, our batches are $5 and it doesn’t ever go more than that… Some express orders are $7.25 if you’re lucky… later in the evening, batches are grouped together with a total of 10 drop offs for that one order and the payout ranges between $21 to $31 at most. What’s worst is having to drive over 40+ miles in total distance! 😩… I track my miles through the stride app and the total distance I drove for those 10 drops were 42.6 miles! The app claimed the total distance was only going to be 7.6 miles! That is way off! So IMO, it’s so not worth it…
And I forgot to add, with general merchandise orders, customers do NOT have an option to add TIP onto the order. So no tips for those orders. These large orders would typically appear available within the app when it’s well into the late evening, so by the time you get to the store, walk inside the store to check-in and wait for the order, then load up and deliver, it will be too late as you will no longer be able to see anymore batch orders after 7:30pm… .
Our batch orders range from $31- $42. But also jump to $62 when point pickup is desperate. I don’t know what everyone is complaining about I make between $800- $1000 a week.
It dropped from $10 to $7.32 for a single grocery in the last 6 months. There’s a daily 30 minute wait so doing grocery batches every hour isn’t possible with 40-60 minutes drive time. GM’s are about $4. now. And they’re usually 15 minutes apart. The prices don’t surge anymore. $100 for a 10 hour shift not counting tips is average. Most I blame on poor Walmart management and horrible batching issues.
Here in Mississippi they have gone from dropping 48 orders in the morning at 6 to dropping 1 to 2 orders in the morning so then you are scapping and battling each other for orders. So if you dont get an order at 6. You have to wait til the next hour to pick up an order. Go back to the old way dropping all orders at one time and not sporadically.
100 percent agree, I went from getting a lot of oders to never even seeing them appear in the app. I get the notification but they go so fast I dont even get to see them. There must be some system Point Pickup uses to distribute the orders to the drivers. Maybe a rating system, or by last name. IDK but something changed drastically and now I never get orders.
Ive been working for point pickup for about a year. Im averaging $600 a week. $800+ on a good week. You do have to be fast to get orders claimed on the app but once you start doing it regularly, I doubt youll wanna go back to a normal job. Just remember to keep track of your miles and any other expenses you can write off when tax time rolls around and youll be alright. 🙂
Gas prices going up and payouts going down. Roadie has started doing walmart deliveries for a couple stores in the Richmond area, and they pay even less that PP. Was making pretty good part time money and did a good job for PP now I can barely get an order. And I hear nothing but complaints from the walmart workers about the influx of new drivers that are not performing as good as the older drivers.
I stopped delivering for point pickup when I constantly was told by the Walmart staff that they did not have enough workers to pull the orders in the store and my deliveries would not be available when I arrived. I would accept batch orders and half the batch would be ready and half not ready. Which would lead to me not being able to drive out and keep working because I would have to spend 15 minutes TEXTING a rep to release the rest of the order. Multiple times the orders would cancel out when I pulled up on time in the parking lot. Don’t get me started on how unreliable the app can be. I live in Alabama and hope other regions have better results.
