    Be aware of delivering things like TVs if you don't want returns. Especially if it's your last delivery and you want to go home afterwards. Every TV I have delivered during the daytime went back to Walmart because there was no one there to receive it. I text people before the delivery but it's rare that they reply. Also be aware of people asking you to take stuff into their house. DO NOT do it. Walmart have vans with staff that have bodycams for in-house deliveries. People are just being cheap because that is an extra charge. If you go in a house and something goes missing, they could say you stole it. Or worse, attack you or say you attacked them. I get the same customers asking me every time to bring the stuff in and put it in their fridge, etc. No way. Let them complain. Also, be careful delivering to hotel rooms. You never know who's on the other side of the door. Leave it in reception and say the hotel wouldn't allow you to go in because you are not a guest. Most hotels have a droppoff area nowadays. If the delivery is up some unlit alley at night or something, don't do it. Text the customer and tell them that it's not safe and to come out. If they don't, you can take it back to Walmart and say it was unsafe and you'll be OK.

      A.) Not all stores have the van service. You are really generalizing the worst case scenario, You can TL;DR this to "Don't be stupid.", if you don't feel right, don't do it. I'm not gonna cry because some old couple asked me to bring their stuff to their table or counter, heck even sometimes people who ask that even flip an extra cash tip. B.) I have a Dashcam on the hood of my car, if I'm delivering a non-scheduled drop (Those are your TVs...), I'm parking with the camera to where I'm dropping it off and leaving it in a safe space. That's what the pictures are for also, I'm not going back to the store because someone simply didn't want to answer the door.

      So true. New to spark and got an order about 2 weeks ago because the tip was $100. Ends up the customer removed the tip within 24 hrs! I was sooo pissed! Turns out customers do this! Be careful with taking orders that say expected tip, it may turn out that they don’t tip you at all.

      Walmart doesn’t have to do anything about it , you do !!!
      You’re a self proprietor , write down the address on an index card and share amongst the drivers at “said “ store , no one take that order.
      Trust me ,
      they will tip adequately , and NOT take back the tips.
      That’s what most do in my area.
      Address not name.
      They can change their name but not the address unless they want their groceries going to a neighbor.

    Also - Drivers - do not accept large orders. Unless you are confident in completing said orders. in my area (Colorado Springs) is super spread out and 33 miles looks great on paper. However, to complete the trip 12 orders within the trip it took roughly 2.5 hours for a 46-dollar trip. Looks great, sounds great but i promise you not great. The Walmart for which the order was at was short staffed and took about 40 mins to even start the trip. Then you cannot start trip until you scan all the orders into the app. If you know the area well enough, you cannot rearrange the orders to make it more efficient you are stuck with how the order was dispatched to you.

    Fun fact as well. To keep your acceptance rate high - you can call support to have the support team block any particular Walmart's you do not want to see orders from. Once you've done that you won't see any offers from that location. Downside to that is - if you are in the area the process (at this time) cannot be reverted. Please make sure you really want the location to be removed before removing.

    I only do shop and deliver offers now. It tends to be higher pay. You also have control of the variables such as shopping speed, not having to trust whatever was put in your car was bagged right/put in your vehicle right. I've had too many instances of doing curbside pickups and waiting an hour.
    The good thing with the shopping offers are that it's only 1 order...whereas curbside is usually a batch order of 3 deliveries.

      Put a timer on and once it goes over 30 minutes you can cancel in the App for excesive time and they will pay you a fee but not the whole trip amount and tip. Better than nothing. You used to have to call it in but there's no need any more. One WM I go to is terrible. I cancel there at least once a day because the staff can't keep up with the orders.

    Absolutely atrocious!! unconscionable and unethical!
    Over 5,000 deliveries for Walmart...and I was deactivated after 3 years veteran delivery driver for Walmart ...2 years Roadie 1 year SPARK and without any details or reason to understand why ? Form letter that I either harassed or offended a customer or an associate and that was that ...I've always been known to be the most respectful
    The DDI management company Walmart has working their affairs for SPARK drivers are inept and horrid absent on some vacay somewhere and ostriches with their heads in the sand without conscience... !
    They are absent entirely from all contact.. Walmart's blind eye to take DDI to the mat makes them responsible... The voicemail prompts leave you with no possibility to leave a voicemail since their voicemail boxes are full . They will never respond and should be held accountable.. SPARK takes the 5th and defers the issues to DDI.. Walmart is inept and hands off. Disgusting

I have tried getting ahold of someone in customer service at Spark, no luck then I tried calling Walmart no luck there either. I don't guess you might be able to help get ahold of someone, could you? It won't even let me sign into my account now?

    Hi Bri
    Awesome video thanks always for tips.
    Really appreciate it.
    I have few questions
    Does OTA does matter ?
    And how do you calculate your earnings.
    I started few weeks ago and I am not sure how to calculate my earnings.
    If I get all right or I am tip baited.
    I have the wallet app but that put I think weekly in it.
    Is there any other way to make sure the earnings are right.
    Thanks again

    Thanks for sharing.
    These are good basic tips for new spark drivers.
    I’ve only done around 250 spark orders so far & within that little time, I have experienced more problems with spark than smooth deliveries.
    I would have added that if you wait 30 min & an order is not loaded, you can cancel without affecting your metrics but the compensation for driving to the store & waiting 30min is a measly $2.50cents!
    At RARE times if you protest & file reports in the app & call & haggle with driver support you MAY get a whopping $11 for extra effort!
    If you spend hours & days remembering to haggle over it by calls & multiple emails!
    And the problem is that excessive wait times for the majority of time is OVER 30 min!
    So it is the norm to wait extremely long times to get an order loaded.
    Lately in an 8 hour time frame I am only avg 3-4 completed deliveries due to excessive wait times!
    So those nice looking $20-25 dollar offers are really coming down to around $8-$12 bucks per hour then you have to deduct your gas & wear on your vehicle!
    After all that you’re not making even min wage!
    Also when you mentioned the loading issues about eggs chips(and bread) being smashed by the loaders~there is another terrible issues concerning this topic which is~MANY spark drivers are doing the Walmart loaders job for them!
    I even had to report a loader once who threw a literal FIT out loud & involved others associates & drivers… because I told him I do not load my orders!
    It’s happens frequently where the loaders park the order at my car & try to just walk away assuming I will load the order into my car! So I sit & wait wasting more time until they see the order is still right where they parked it!
    I blame the spark drivers for this issue bc you are teaching the loaders that all they are paid to do is be cart pushers & not “loaders”!
    *Tip: I provide a small basket in my backseat & in my rear area of my suv labeled “EGGS CHIPS BREAD” but still it’s hit & miss as to whether the loaders separate the fragile items or not. (And I have NEVER once seen a “fragile” label on anything!)
    Tip: I also provide an insulated bag labeled “FROZEN” for such as ice cream…but the loaders almost never use it!
    *Many loaders are also just too damn lazy to even hand me a label to scan unless I directly ask for it.
    But all of those are bad habits which other spark drivers have taught loaders~please stop doing the loaders job for them if that’s any of you.
    I hate to only gripe about problems & not offer solutions so here are my ideas of how to resolve some of the loading issues:
    *pay the loaders & the pickers per order picked or loaded, just like the spark drivers are paid per order, instead of hourly & watch how FAST those damn orders get shopped & placed nicely in the drivers cars!
    *place metics/penalties upon the loaders and pickers for any damaged items reported by drivers.
    *set up an app system for the loaders like spark where they can’t move on to the next order until all loading steps are completed such as giving the driver a label to scan…
    The point is that the EXCESSIVE WAIT TIMES are due to the fact that pickers & loaders are paid by the HOUR & not by the orders completed!
    So think about it; they get paid MORE MONEY the longer it takes or regardless how many orders they complete!
    It’s all counterproductive!
    But no one is asking me how to solve these problems so….good luck out there!

  • @Soulfulvision1111
    @Soulfulvision1111 ปีที่แล้ว

    You get the offer at 15 after the hour ...they make you wait until 40 after the hour to slide you've arrived for curbside ...then the waiting game for the associates to dispense then load then scan then GPS then go
    So basically
    Walmart holds us hostage
    After 3 years delivering for Walmart first Roadie then SPARK this past year I somehow have just several weeks ago discovered that I was deactivated..and there is no recourse no discussion no person to answer DDI voicemail or reply from my countless emails
    Seriously there was no explanation
    5000 deliveries and simply
    ' your account is deactivated'
    More criticisms...
    The map is unclear when making offers so you really can't tell where they intend to send you...I mean with Roadie you could get fine details of the route before bidding making offer but with SPARK not possible..and then when or if you decline the offer they try to manipulate you to accepting and you choose to decline ..you are punished mercilessly by their lowering your metrics 2 percent
    The instore shopping is difficult when the wifi is not strong and often times the screen simply changes on you enroute to a particular isle product etc and you have to refresh or come back at the end ...and often times the stores don't have the correct UPC or the item is stashed somewhere else in the isle
    The customer support of course is simply ridiculous like most of these apps ...whereas we call ..gp through many prompts and then wait time and when connected to support they treat you as you are some guest checking into a 5 star hotel with all their niceties script you're forced to have to endure ( taking up so so much precious time ) and then they make you give them your phone number name and email address with yet more niceties
    They cannot help you really unless you need permission to return an order ...and then they escalate which results in yet more typical unhelpful email support
    The entire system is flawed and one would think Walmart would have the funds to actually fix it
    Nah
    The worst is that the associates hate SPARK as well
    But if you ever wanted to get in touch with DDI I would bet you'll find their voicemail boxes are all full..they will send you in circles with prompts and extensions and no one will ever answer..and your emails will never be responded to
    It all sucks

    One tip i will give out , turn the page the money that is offered most all the time isnt what u get like yesterday the offer was for 18.00 dollars ,when i fliped it over the amount changed to 13.00 dollars sounds likeca good example of( tip baiting) yes i did take a pic of this, yes spark does this alot .why dont u tell them how much they the driver get compensated ? 2.50 not worth the time and effort. Yes u have to do ur homework i sometimes take batch orders just to get the money i need for that day the batch orders take about 2 to 3 hours keep this is mind if ur doing this late u will know it will be dark soon .all sams club orders r usualy water or pop heavey stuff good this to remember when taking this .had one yesterday , went to the place and they told me someone already took that order ur the 3rd people who try to pick this up thats always nice right? If u see a mistake in the offer best bet is to reassighned it the support will not help u there useless there from another country trying to speak english and cant and what can they do from there country for u ? Is soark that cheep they cant have americans do this with at least one in each of the states ? And yes make sure u can add they spark will try to stab u in the back on the offers a.u think they be higher because of the Christmas season but, they r not .that is sad .they all want drones to help them not drivers as they and other apps invested in this this isxmore than likley the reason why they pay is so low the payout is realy 4.50 per order they r to embarrased with this low offer so they put another order on it totaling up to 9 dollars and sowing the tip on to it 10 dollars making it 19 dollars .when the sow the tip on to this order they now r making u pay taxes for this rather than getting this under the table money thatcmeans u dint have to pay taxes with under the table money .places like McDonald's and bk there pay is so low that rhe employees caught on if u cant make a living why evan bother working there ? Its true they wounder why they cant get any help .this is why they all want machines to run there business. I say let them they will soon becbagging us to come back we will but. For a living wage and i don't mean 8 dollars

      I agree fully and im upset. I just started driving for spark 3 days ago. My 1st day i took 5 trips totalling 116 dollars. Or so i thought.... 2 days later i go onto my earnings and it says 49. Seriously??? I spent a day driving and lifting groceries for 49 dollars?? After 20 for my babysitter and 15 in gas .. i guess i just owed walmart a days work?? At least w door dash i get what they tell me when i accept the order. Ive had walmart deliver to me several times. I added 10 for a tip. After i paid , it didnt say to me ... hey within 24 hours come back on here and confirm u really want to tip your driver this 10 , or they wont get it. What kind of backwards dumb crap is that?? I made 49 instead of 116 bcuz my customers didnt go back in to say yes tip my driver like i asked to do earlier when i ordered and tipped? This is decietful. I was dooped. Im pissed.
