Major Highlights of the Week

Order Duration Clarity
The app's order cards lack comprehensive trip duration details, omitting the time from the shopper's location to the store and back to the delivery point. This oversight leads to inefficient planning for shoppers, especially in areas with long travel distances.
The current order cards do not list how long the total trip would be including the time it takes for the shopper to leave their current location and arrive to the store, complete the shopping, and then drop off the order.
Unjust Deactivations
Shoppers face account deactivations without clear justification, even when maintaining high ratings and preferred shopper status. This practice undermines trust and discourages long-term engagement with the platform.
I was disabled after a mistake WITHIN THE APP and given LESS THAN AN HOUR of notice that I would be disabled.
Tip Discrepancies
There are significant issues with tip distribution, where shoppers report not receiving expected tips or experiencing delays in tip payments. This inconsistency affects earnings transparency and trust in the platform's financial processes.
Algorithm Inefficiencies
The app's algorithm changes have disrupted order distribution, leading to experienced shoppers receiving fewer or less desirable orders. This affects their ability to earn consistently and undermines the value of their experience and customer relationships.
I’ve been shopping for 5 years and have hundreds of matched(prepaid) customers who I never see because something is screwed up!
Customer Service Failures
Shoppers experience poor customer service, with unresolved issues and lack of support when dealing with app glitches or customer disputes. This lack of support diminishes the overall user experience and operational efficiency.
App is glitchy, customer service is horrible would be careful with This service.
Low Compensation
The compensation structure is perceived as inadequate, with low pay rates that do not justify the time, effort, and expenses incurred by shoppers. This perception of unfair compensation discourages continued participation and loyalty.
You will be offered $7.80 to drive 10 miles and shop for several items usually heavy or ridiculous things.

Quotes of the week

Hear from some of the most impactful users to drive changes

The current order cards do not list how long the total trip would be including the time it takes for the shopper to leave their current location and arrive to the store, complete the shopping, and then drop off the order. Shoppers should be able to see how long it’s going to take them in total.

I love this job but the app algorithm has changed and is terrible! I’ve been shopping for 5 years and have hundreds of matched customers who I never see because something is screwed up! The engineer team needs to fix this.

Shipt itself used to be a great form of extra income. Now it’s a slap in the face. Their rating system is horrible and unfair. You won’t make minimum wage to run your car into the ground.
