If I missed any tips or if you would like to share anything that you've learned from the state you live in please leave them below! :)
ThatGirlSam1 I like your intro, it was hilarious
Tesfaye Williams Thanks!! 😂😄
ThatGirlSam1 hello...I am 19 and I tried Lyft and uber... I don't if this one is good, but thank you...for post mates
ThatGirlSam1 so you just sign on find a hotspot go to it or around it wait for a job accepted go there pay with your Visa or not and deliver the food take a picture of the receipt and press done or finished and that's it ???? and when you select the hours that you want to work that day do you have to work all of those hours no matter what?

Finally someone well spoken direct and to the point.
Alex Ramirez Thank You!
I would like someone to do a video on blitz because I was just notified of blitz and went online but didn't get blitz. So I just have no clue and post mates like all other app jobs doesn't teach you anything.
While there is a blitz period. Personally, I think blitz is more of a lie, to get people to hop on out to work when there is to much order volume and not enough workers out working. If you are lucky. Blitz is where they are charging customers higher prices for their orders because it is a prime time of the day for ordering food. Such as lunch and/or dinner. So you may get paid an extra 25 cents to 5 dollars depending on the order and percentages they are charging customers. But in the two, almost three years I've worked for them. I've maybe hopped on to work like 7or 8 times and gotten blitz once.
It's almost like a lottery. The first few who hop on may get the blitz. But I've always thought it's honestly just to get people out working because postmates needs help. Not necessarily because you'll get paid for it.
Great info
Quick question what car do you Drive and how many Miles do you have on it.
BlackCloverTRG Because I drive a lot of miles and have about 200,000 miles on my car, I drive a 1995 Honda Civic. It was passed down to me by my dad, and I haven't proceeded to get a new car yet, cause I'm not sure I want all those miles on a new car. However, the city people live in may be smaller or bigger than mine, so mileage may vary! 😊
Here in LA u just go to rich neighborhoods and they all tip over $5 highest I've gotten is $50
Dang that's crazy! Ive gotten like a 30 dollar tip!! But hopefully that'll help someone!
Jaime V yup, I live in East LA but I make the trip to Beverly Hills since that's where it's active the most
Jaime V - Hi! I want to start posrmates but they told me I need rideshare insurance. I live in LA as well...what do you recommend?
MaDkOrNfLaKeS - Hi I live in LA as well I was told I need rideshare insurance. What do you recommend?
I can tell u first hand and living in a military/college town people don’t tip. They think u should know where the fuck they live...even though they live in a confusing and fucked up community or apartment complex where what should be driveways are actually streets....or they live in the projects where every building looks the fucking same and ur suppose to know exactly where they live. People are always assholes even if u show up with a smile and a friendly attitude. U never get paid cash tips...NEVER. And the number one pet peeve you’ll deal with is when people don’t pre-order their shit...u will be wasting time waiting for $4 from some fat fuck that ordered a tripple whopper with cheese. If ur a customer please don’t be a dick, pre-order you’re shit at least....and tip at least a buck or two. Trust me, I’m learning quick and I’m not getting fucked over by the same assholes twice. Next time I’m calling shit in myself because assholes don’t think ahead.
I have been delivering for Postmate for about a month now. a couple of days ago my delivering earning screen for some reason it will not show what I've made. How can I get that back on my screen?...can you help?...thanks.
Don't depend on tips! Tips does not pay the bills. Tips are an incentive not a requirement.
Wtf thats how delivery services work the drivers for deliveries have always depended on tips.
@@ared18t that's how people in the food industry pay bills... tips. Lmao
Should you keep all the receipts from postmates so you can do the taxes ,?
Really hard to get tips so will be lucky to get $10/hr.
I do Postmates and it is okay. Now I say to the customer that tips are appreciated. Thank you. A lot of them hate to tip.
Right! Like its not to be mean! But we do see when you don't tip! Tips help a lot!! Great tip though, maybe ill start saying that!! :) Cause Even the best days can sometimes be crap when you aren't making those tips! haha
Exactly. I like saying to them because their subconscious mind picks it up and tell the conscious mind to take care of the courier. I even had a customer ask me about me about the $3.99 delivery charge. She thought this literally goes to us when it does not. It goes directly to the company. I even told her that you take of us and we will take care of you. We love our customers. I have come to realize now that if the customer wants to tip they will. Their mind is made up before we see them. The ironic part is that Vegas is known as a tipping town. Now this is a big lie. I can tell you how many times I have been stiffed.
I have learned it is always good to ask for what we went. One would think it would be common sense to tip the courier. I do not like asking this. However, I feel I have no choice. If I knew every time I would I wold not ask. I try to have a smile on my face which shows I enjoy doing this gig. The worst ones are the ones who are waiting for you with their arms crossed. You just know they are gonna stiff you no matter how nice you are to them. This is just sad.
LVScooter1 how long does the background check take ???
Clark Villarreal it depends. sometimes it can take 3 days. some times it can take a few weeks.
Why can’t cool ass girls like this Be in Chicago 😪
When you do a full 7 or 8 hour shift do you just stay in your car the entire time? Do you return home for lunch or just eat in your car and stay in the city? By the way, what are the best times and days to work on the postmates app? Your videos are really motivational and i've been seriously considering trying postmates out. I'm 18 and need some money to move out of my familys house , (i love them and all but i'm trying to be a grown independent adult lol) do you think it's possible for postmates to pay the bills and rent in a small apartment ? sorry for all the questions, i'm just super interested !
Great Questions!!! Thanks for the support love!!! I usually stayed in my car or found a near by park. I didn't live inside, or anywhere close to the boarder that Postmates had to start work in, so I usually had to drive 15 minutes to be able to work and about 30 minutes to get downtown and into the city Hotspots. I would eat lunch in my car or the par, and on days my friends or my dogs would come to work with me, we'd go to lunch, or I'd take my dogs for a walk around the lake, if I took a lunch! :) The best times to work Postmates are around lunch and dinner I say Tuesday through Thursday. By Tuesday people are usually in the groove of working and aren't looking for a reason to get out of the office, like Mondays! Wednesday and Thursday is when work sets in and people are trying to get stuff done before Friday. If you work the weekends than you'll definitely make more money. But for a "Normal" work week, I worked Tuesday through Friday, and Sunday! You are for sure going to want to take a day off, so choose a day that works best for you. I chose Saturdays to relax, rest, hang out, clean, and things like that! Not sure what the prices are like for a small apartment in your city, but I would say as long as you stay motivated it is perfectly possible to live on your own and make money with Postmates! I work Postmates and now Grubhub cause I just wanted a safe cushion! and I'm going to make a video about Grubhub soon! But there are plenty of delivery jobs that you can do along with Postmates if you aren't sure! I feel like in terms of Flexibility Postmates is perfect. in terms of having a safe money cushion Grub Hub is also worth it!! :) No need to be sorry!! If you have any more questions let me know! :)
Wow thank you so much for replying ! All of this information is extremely helpful and insightful, i appreciate it so much. I'm subscribed and can't wait to watch more videos from you! There's not alot of girls on youtube that do what you do and i think it's really awesome, thanks again :)
Riley Williamson Awh!! Thank You So Much for that comment!! Super, Super Sweet!! Great luck too you, you're gonna make it, enjoy where you are at in life love! And of course Welcome To Postmates!! 😄
Liza, is that you? 😂❤️
A dude said that he switches to scooter so that he can see the items to pickup before he accepts it. I was thinking that that would not be legal and that postmates would ding him if he was caught (or taxes would be an issue). What do you think about that?
I mean, the only negative kick back to that would be worrying about declining a lot of orders. Postmates generally looks at that, and won't send you a whole lot of opportunity orders. But that's just more of my opinion, not an actual fact. Legally it's not a problem because your a contractor that signed up with a 1099 tax form, so you are responsible for reporting your deductions properly when you file at the end of the year. So even legally it wouldn't benefit you whether a car or a scooter you still have to report your mileage. Unfortunately or fortunately, however you want to take it, I think Postmates doesn't care much about any of that at all, they care about the Order and the money. I also feel, even though its nice to be able to see the order first, depending on what city you are in, I almost feel like that would limit you from making more money with higher paying orders.
Made 7 hr doin this drop out job. Hell no
Video needs more ads
Thank you for the feedback!! It is much appreciated!!
Right? 5 isn't cutting it
She's cute!
I like your car, is it a stickshift?
Pro's about Postmates... 1) You're not sitting in your car giving rides to Lyft and Uber passengers and you can get out and get exercise..... 2) You don't have to keep your car clean all the time since you're the only one in your car.... 3) You don't have to put as many miles on your car to get the same amount of $ you'd get for driving people around.
Pretty much nailed it on the head! haha
Yep
Thanks for making this video! You’re the first person to cover it so thoroughly. You may or may not have covered this, but I’m asking questions as I watch. Lol. So when you have to use the prepaid card to pay for orders, the customer has to pay you upon delivery?
Basically! The customer will have already paid through the app and postmates will preload money to your card for purchases. If the card gets declined, just request in range how much more you will need preloaded on the card in the app. If it comes to that. But you should never, ever pay out of pocket. Unless the order calls for that. Which it shouldn't. 😊 Thank you for watching my video! I am here to help!
Thank you my friend-
Don't taxes suck?
In some respects yes! But if you kept up on your miles, and gas receipts than taxes have come out decent for me every year! I still get a pretty good tax return!
New subbie from Houston
How postmates in atlanta ga
I started two days ago and I like it more as part time! I always have to go to the red area? Because I have done it and it has not been satisfactory! I prefer stay in my house or near restaurants that order many orders and for me have been better! But I still have doubts, it is better to go to the red part and wait for the orders? How can I do more orders? Many times I do only one or two in an hour.
Aldo Segui Yeah, part time is a great speed if you like it that way! No, you don't always have to go to the red area, that's just what's recommended to get a quicker job! But if you know what restaurants are poppin, and what areas are most busy when you are working, then by all means keep doing that! Depends on your state and city too, in my state, always going to the red spots means there is way more volume, so you may or may not get a job fast. But I do what you do, when I figure out the actual "hot spots" I just work around there!! A lot of times you'll only be able to do one or two orders an hour anyway, do to drive time, restaurant wait time, and drop off time. That's how it is with Grubhub a little bit too! The best thing to do is stick to areas you know have more volume of people, office buildings, apartment places, small neighborhoods. and of course really busy and/or popular places to get food! :)
ThatGirlSam1 thanks so much
Lol the intro 👌🏻

hi, i like to sign up postmates, my question is how about the policy of car Insurance do i need update my regular insurance to commercial insurance?
Artslourds Some say you do just to be safe and some say you don't because while on the job Postmates already has insurance that will "fully cover" you while you're on the job. I personally do not have commercial insurance because then you have to buy commercial license plates, and have to go through a longer process to get approved and they may have to come check your car to even see if it's worth it. Plus, the rates vary so you might not even be getting that great of a deal while on the job. I heard esurance can help answer your questions or may provide you that sort of insurance. But it's up too you whether it's really important or not. I just have your regular full coverage insurance, and am backed by Postmates "on the job" insurance if I really get into a pickle.

do u think its possible to make 700 in a week with postmates
Yg Bodybuilder Yes I do and more, if you treat it like a full time job! Depends in your city as well. But I know where I live it's possible to make even more if you work 8 hours, 5 days a week! :) I usually work Sundays. and Take off Saturdays! :)
I hated it. Bunch of locations with no parking and rude customers
Susie & Elaine Solution Towards then end it got a little rough. Parking definitely seems to be a struggle for most. Haha
Snow weather will destroy your tires
I mean, snow definitely puts your tires through some toughness. And wears them down faster. It's a little better if you get like longer lasting tires.
What tires do you have?
I tried Postmates in L.A. all day & I made so much more money than Uber but It's rare when there's deliveries which made me use Uber more to keep me busy. Im going to do this only for the weekends only just to invest in my business.
I'm going to be doing postmates soon just waiting for my card and bag. Even though I don't have either can I still do postmates
I signed up and got my heat bag and Postmates debit card.but my background check has not cleared and it's been 3 weeks.how long does it take to clear ??
Uber and lyft only took like 3 days to clear.
took me a week, try emailing checkr or postmates. Checkr does all the background check for doordash, uber, postmates and then some. Or go to checkr.com first and enter your info, if you dont't see it there then try emailing. I ended up getting 3 background check sent from Postmates because someone at postmates or the site api botched it.
Clark Villarreal I ended up having to email them after a month. It's not Postmates it's the company doing the background check that is having the problem.
Dom M it took a while but I just got activated yesterday yay. Going good. Thanks
Checkr is no good.
I stopped doing postmates like almost a month ago cuz I got as better job. I was gonna do it on my days off but I couldn't cuz my wifey mom is sick
A Better job is always...well..BETTER!! haha Hope your wifey is doing good! :)
0:10 Why, hey, what's up yourself, gorgeous?? Lol
Are you still doing Postmates as of today??
man i wish i had postmates in my city i'd use it so much!
breannaissokawaii That's awesome!! I love Postmates! It makes things super easy! haha
Why is everybody a entertainer.
Me
I was able to start working within 5 minutes of signing up
That is amazing!!!! I hope you are enjoying it!
Do you give the customer the receipts? Sometimes the app says do not give them the receipt, and I know the prices on the app are different for the customer than what we pay in person if using the prepaid Visa. Also, how does it make you feel when you can't leave a tip for the restaurant employee as they prep the food for these to go orders and we have to leave $0 on the tip line as we close out the order for the delivery? I apologize and say, "I'm sorry this isn't for me, it's a post mates order."
Yes I always give the customer receipts...not sure why it would say to not give them their receipts unless it's already a prepaid order. If it says not to give it to them I guess it's your choice whether you do or not...if you feel you should give them their receipts, I'd say just do it.
And I am completely in the same boat as you! I have always felt a little guilty for not leaving a tip. But that's just part of the business i guess. Some restaurants charge up for postmates orders, thus, taking tips for themselves anyway. But most people know by now that postmates orders just dont tip.
And, not to sounds a bit selfish, but they are getting paid for doing their job as employees. You just happen to be doing the delivering, which they would have to do if the customer came in to dine. So you do on some level deserve the tip. You are just finishing up the waitress/waiters job.
So try not to feel to bad...I had always walked in and said order for Samone. from postmates. And when I'd call in the to go order I'd say this is a postmates to go order. Just so they'd know, it's not my fault I cant leave a tip! You are doing great though!!! 😁😁
So many variables with these things. Depends which city you're located In etc....In SoCal you can make good money
What about u leave ur boyfriend and be my new girlfriend
Thank you so much for explaining more of postmates, I can't wait to start.
How much do you take out for taxes? Does Postmates verify the age of customers purchasing alcahol, and cigarettes or do we have to check the ID? Thank you 😎
I usually try to write things off at the end of the year, to help me save more. You are an independent contractor. So they have you sign a 1099. It cam be a little tedious. That's why I like apps like mile IQ. That you can switch on when you're on the road and it helps you keep track of everything. And yes you do have to verify the age. I believe they make you scan the back of their IDs. To make sure. Haha
Her car was unlocked before she put the key in the door
I just signed up today, I hope I get good tips in Denver.
checked you out because of drive girl drive.
Your Personal Driver That Is AWESOME!!!! Thank You for checking out my channel
Can you please make a video on how to file your own taxes? From Postmates pls I’ve never done it before but I’m planing on working for Postmates full time , I was told I need to do my own taxes
Aylene Xo Yes!!!! I will for sure let you know when it's out!
I got the kit and everything ready to go, except my bank account verification failed, I guess it has to be a checking not a savings? Didn't say that while signing up. So annoying
SEANA SPARKLE Really?? That's new! You used to be able to deposit in either, you'd just have to check which one it was. Did they let you redo you deposit situation?
I ended up going back and forth with them for couple days in emails and they just kept saying the same thing to make sure it's a checking account. I just don't get why it doesn't say that right on the sign up page, because then if you go to the help page that's where it actually says that savings accounts will be rejected. But like know no ones gonna know that or think about going to the help page unless a problem happens when signing up! So I called my bank and set up a checking account, and since it's a different number it went through when I entered it. Just finally got verified and now I'm ready to go.
SEANA SPARKLE Well that's poopy that it took all of that to work for them! But I'm really glad it worked out for you! Hopefully you'll make some amazing money this week to make up for it!! Congrats though!
I like the baby bash music in the background 😁😁
Thank You!!! Is postmates going well for you?
@@drinkswithmo Trying to find good areas in Houston to work with Postmates did a shift from 5 to 10 and only got 2 but I know it will get better
How long did it take for your background check to process? I've already got the welcome package and just waiting for that
BdogO1 It took me only a few days to get approved! But that was a while ago. It can be different for different people, and can be based on volume of applied workers for your area!! I'm sure, if you havent already, you will get approved in the next few days. If it takes more than two weeks, I would email them to see what's going on! 😄
The driver rating part is a headache for me. No mistakes but keep getting low ratings. I am always pleasant but keep getting below 4.6.
Do you make sure to double check the order? Or the time it takes to pick up and drop off the order.
ThatGirlSam1 yes. Without opening the burger and touching each piece. I am always speedy. And make great communication with mbrs. They always thank me for the awesome communication. Seems flawed
Yeah, I am definitely not sure why! People are people! Just keep pushing and checking orders. Making sure the food stays hot and everything! I have a few tips and tricks videos of you wanna check them out! But keep pushing! 4.6 isn't bad anyways! As long as you keep getting jobs!
ThatGirlSam1 I even caught where they gave me the wrong order while the other guy who told me he had a 4.8 rating... Took my order without checking.
ThatGirlSam1 they say they will for you for that lol a mess.
7:25 lol i thought u were about to say hunt u down
Hey how much did you make on your first day? If you don't mind me asking. I made 20 in 2.5 hours... tips haven't come in yet. It was slow, but I'll try Friday and Saturday.
I made a solid 100.00 on my first day! But I put in about 7 hours of work I believe! It may have been 6! And yeah, it was definitely after tips came in! haha Usually tips don't show up right away! But if you check your postmates dashboard it usually stays pretty up too date on the money you've earned! :) I f you have any more questions feel free to ask me! :)
did postmates send you a shirt when you started? is there a way to get one without paying so much online?
I didn't get a shirt with postmates when I started! It wasnt necessary, just the hot cold bag and the card.
hello!
HELLO!!! 😊
What do u do if the restaurant doesn't have what they want and they won't substitute then they won't cancel bcuz they will get charged a cancellation fee so it puts u in limbo and can't get out of the delivery W out cancelling and it looks like your fault. No bueno
Rebecca Mendez unfortunately, you just have to cancel it...which ducks. Just let the customer know what's going on...and if they have any problem, they can contact postmates on their end through email. And the you just have to cancel the order.
Hopefully you can read this I just got a job for playmate but I need some help using the app it's confusing and I don't know what to do
Edy Cuevas are you ok??
I thought that was liza koshy in the thumbnail
Luke J. / Nexus Close....real close! Haha jk
Hey I just finished my first day for postmates. I started off with just three deliveries because it was starting to get dark out...I actually really liked it but I do have a question: Are you supposed to give the receipt to the customer or do you keep it? I took a picture of all the receipts and I had to use my prepaid card for all of them. When I got to my customer I wasn't even thinking to give it to them...does it matter or should I keep it because I used the card? Thanks so much this video was very helpful
Chelsea Davenport I forget to give receipts sometimes, cause you just get going and on a role! haha But you are supposed to give receipts to the customers! :) Taking the pictures is verification for postmates. But giving the customer their receipts ensures you ordered what they did!! congrats!! Hope it was fun!!
ThatGirlSam1 thanks so much for the help and yeah it was fun I look forward to working more
Chelsea Davenport what's your form of transportation when delivering?
Chelsea Davenport Car mostly! I did do bike for a minute! But then, in my city they took that option away.
sweet sugar walls
R U still doing postmates? If so, I was wondering what is the mileage or approximate for delivery to customer from the pickup site of order? About 5 miles or more/less or 5 minutes to 20 minutes?
Sunshine...
are the orders ready when you aribe at pick up? or do you need to stand in line & order the food your self
No, sometimes they are, more times than not you may have to wait. They have tried to make the system so you can just all in and pick up food like Grubhub, but still haven't all the way succeeded. Most of the time I would go in expecting to have to wait, but sometimes I was surprised!
I've been a driver for Postmates for about a year in a half I let me tell you. When I started a made more money than now. I had since February with out working for them, I pick it up at the end of October. Lots has changed even the pay, before on a short trip was making a little more than 5 dollars, now it is only 4 dollars which is outrageous. I live in NYC and it takes me 30 to 45 minutes just to get to one place to another. Then to make it worse, when you driver more than 4 miles you still get less than 10 dollars. It really sucks, all this run around, blowing up your car for to make 5 or maybe 10 dollars in one hour in a half. Now we can even see our tips, wtf. Now you can't see the Damm tips, how the hell we going to know what actual tip we got. Bummeeeer!
How do I deliver other things rather then food and alcohol?
I never got any other delivery offer rather then food.
I'm not exactly sure honestly! There is such a high demand for food and liquor, that's what I delivered almost the entire time I worked with postmates. It was very rare I delivered something other than food. If you have a local mall, or an outlet area you can try sitting by there, and you may get a different order. But postmates is known for being able to deliver food from most select restaurants...😬🙃
Says she makes big moneyyet her door handle is still broken not buying it
cringy child I said it pays the Bill's. And also pays for clothes, makeup and and other interests, like a savings account, besides fixing a door handle. If I wanted it fixed then I would have gotten it fixed. Instead i waited for a new car. 😉😊
Do you know I can find out if New York market accepts alchohol and tabacco deliveries?
fleet-help.postmates.com/hc/en-us/articles/229949988-New-York-City
Try this link and see if that helps, if you want more detail. I pulled it up on my phone though...so it may not work. Any how, you cam deliber tabbaco on call. But you must check there IDs before drop off. In some cases they may have you scan it. In order to deliver alcohol you have to have a carry a liquor permit at all times. I guess there is one you can print out from that link.
Awesome thanks!!
Thank you good video👍🏼✌🏼
You are welcome!! Thank you for watching!!! 😊🧡
Thanks Girl. I am expecting my Postmates drivers package in today's mail.
YAY!!!!!! I'm so excited for you!! Good Luck out there!!

MetroplexC70 Ah THANK YOU FOR COMING BY!!! 😄😄💋
lol
are you still doing postmates?
Unfortunately, no I am not. 😊 But my husband does from time to time, so I get updated on the process and such.
I use to do it and they pay is pretty bad here. Doordash is a lot better pay
if you dont mind me asking, how much did you make the first year with postmates? and how much did you have to pay back? i'm trying to get an idea of what to expect for my 1099. i just applied and waiting for my starter kit so i've been youtubing like crazy.
Suzy Well Welcome to postmates love!! When I first started postmates I wasn't hitting it very hard like I did thus past year, I was kind if on and off about it, so I made about 6000 from when I started to tax season. I got about 700 back I believe, but don't quite remember how much I had to give. This year will be a lot better to answer those once I do my Taxes! I did postmates full time this past year!
But I would say. just really keep track of Gas receipts and your miles from start to finish (tax season) because that's where a lot of your help for return will come from!
Nicole McNeil Unfortunately postmates doesn't give you a physical pay stub. They do direct deposit! if you made less than 600 dollars with postmates then they won't send you a 1099 form, if you did they will email you a link to get your 1099 form for your taxes, to your email address you signed up with and use to sign in! :)
Nicole McNeil I've heard good things about mileiq But I myself haven't personally use it yet! :)
Look into an app called Stride Tax. They are what I use for driving mainly Lyft, adding in Uber this past week, and soon Door Dash and Postmates maybe. The app is free and works great! BTW Sam, for taxes you can claim mileage OR expenses (gas, oil changes, car repairs, etc)... NOT both! Of course other customary business expenses can be written off, cell phone plan that is used exclusively for your business, or if you use your personal cell, you can deduct the percentage used for business. I would also assume anything else that is for your customers needs, like buying more hot bags, mints if you give them, etc
Nice video! Thanks for the information and keep up the good work. I just got approved a few days ago and I will be making my first delivery this week!
Coast2CoastTV Congrats!!!! You are gonna be amazing!! I usually always text my customer when I'm headed to pick up their order and an ETA when I have their order in hand!! I've noticed it'll boost tips a bit!! :)

How do you keep track of your miles?
I use the MileIQ app! Its free! But if you don't want to use a mile tracker than I usually save my gas receipts as well as, the day of tax day, I record my new mileage on my car, and at the end of the next year I also write down the amount of miles, subtract them and that's how many miles I drove that year, then I usually take another 15,000 to 18,000 miles off of the total for personal driving usage.
Just know, , , if you don't tip and I get you again, , , ,I'm farting on your food.
Queef Micester 😂😂😂😂😂
I can't believe I was approved in 15 minutes applying on line and I can start working right away. Thanks for this video.
Same thing happened for me
Omg, Im sorry but I had to quit postmates after 5 deliveries. It was a horrible experience. For me Ubereats is by far better in every way.
Really?!?! Yikes! I dont work for them anymore either.
ThatGirlSam1 if I may ask, why don’t you work for them anymore
@@everthineparis2990 Well after working for UberEats for six months, I decided to try PostMates also and hated it. First off I didn't like the fact that I had to waste time and wait on line to order the food and then wait for the food to be cooked. I also didn't like the fact that Post Mates makes you take a photo of the receipt in order to get paid. And lastly, they dont offer anything even close to the promotions that Uber Eats offers. There is no way I can do 20-30 deliveries a day like I do with Uber Eats. Its a big thumbs down for me..
@@everthineparis2990 I was "let go" for basically trying to help customers with what they needed. I have an entire 2 videos on what happened in my postmates playlist!
Sean Depagnier Uber eats?
great info! im thinking about starting
That's Awesome!!! I'm excited for you!! If You do start make sure to check out my second video, which is all about making tips! That'll help a lot! :)
Does postmates have their own insurance? And if so - is it congruent only when your main insurance cancels your claim? If so - does your main insurance know your using your vehicle for commercial purposes? It might be worth looking into.
Thank you for that info!
Of course love!! If you have any questions. Let me know! 💜
Sincerely, The Stewarts how did you create your schedule for yourself?
How do you track your miles?
I Use MileIQ, its wonderful and its free! I used to write down my miles the day after I filed for taxes and then when the tax season came around the next year I would rite down the number and figure out my mileage for the year!
is this liza koshy
I wish!!! Haha but no! 💜
what about the prepaid card ...so when you pick up the order in the store you need to pay for the order first? using your own bank cards??
No! You should never use your own Bank cards. They used to be able to reimburse you if you did. But they are no longer able to give you money back for orders if use your own bank cards. Use the prepaid card if you have any order that needs to be paid for. Sometimes you wont need to use your card, it'll already be prepaid, but always carry your prepaid postmates pex card just incase, or unless postmates tells you not to worry about paying.
ok thanks for reply so the prepaid card is the card postmates will send to you .and there is money inside the card .whenever you need to pay just use that prepaid card right?
NoAH'ArK Yes they will send you your prepaid work card through the mail once you get accepted and then they will load it everyone you need to pay for an order! :)
have you ever felt unsafe doing postmates? i'm a young woman and i'm very small and look like i'm 12 years old lol. i drive for postmates and i haven't had too many bad experiences but i have had some really creepy ones that just kinda make me scared to work again.
I wouldn't say I have ever felt unsafe using postmates, there have been times where I have had a delivery in kind of a sketch part of town, but I usually would carry a pocket knife and some pepper spray on me. I am the same though, without make up I look like I'm 13. and I'm only 5'2. So I feel you! If there is ever a point that you just don't want to get out of your car, just request the customer come get it from you. So at least you can stay in your car. On the rare, you can cancel the order if its just to much! That's how I try to help make myself more comfortable.
thanks! :)
thanks! :)
Jane A For Sure!
Can you do it in south Carolina?
Looks like it isnt currently available in South Carolina, but maybe send Postmates an email about it. Let them know you are interested and wondering if they are going to open up a city to work in your town soon. They should respond within a few days.
Great video, thanks for the info.
Victor Laguna Thanks for watching!
Gorgeous 😍
Thank You! :)
Is there a limit on how many hours you can work in a day?
No there isn't. It's just not a lot of people are up at 3 in the morning and not a lot of places are open usually. At least where I am from, so jobs and stuff are limited.
@@drinkswithmo Ok thanks, Im asking because when I started Ubereats 6mo ago they would shut down my app at 12hrs. 10am-10pm
@@seandepagnier2437 oh dang! Yeah, at least to my knowledge postmates doesnt you can work how ever long you want.
@@drinkswithmo awesome, thank you for getting back to me!
@@seandepagnier2437 You are welcome! Thank you for the comments!
Anyone know if I still can do postmates even if my background check is still pending?or do I need to wait until is clear to do postmates thanks!
Jae Beast unfortunately they have to clear you. You can get the fleet app and log in. But your card won't be activated and that won't send you any jobs until you're good to go!
ThatGirlSam1 ok thank you for the reply
Jae Beast For sure!! :)
ThatGirlSam1 also keep up the good work on you're vids
Thank You So Much!! Will Do!!!!If you have anymore questions that I can help with, let me know for sure!! :))
