Reviews about "promo pay"
Return to all Reviews- Current Contractor★★★★★
Pros
Flexibility and being able to choose your own hours! Promo pays on some orders you accept have a bonus amount you can make anywhere from $1-$20 extra on that order. Customer service is great and always available! Being able to cancel an order if needed.
Cons
It can really slow you down when there are items not available. Then you must text the customer multiple times stating the store does not have the product you were looking for asking what substitute they would like. A lot of customers do not tip which is frustrating because you have worked very hard and used gas, plus wear-n-Tear on your vehicle.
Continue readingThanks for the feedback! Some shoppers have reported that they make a note of all the items that are unavailable and then wait until the end of the shop to contact the member with their suggestions for substitutions. If you have any additional feedback or suggestions on ways we can improve, feel free to reach out to me at emilys@shipt.com.

Flexibility Promo pay is good.
Cons
If you do not accept promo orders, you will work very hard for little pay. The job is decent when you get good at it but there is a decent learning curve.

Pros
It was good for a start 3 years ago it was great pay.. … then pay cuts Then came this unfair rules, for for one promos from no penalize for lateness unto 30 minute window. If you hit 90 % on time and fall below 70% both at once can be permanently deactivated. I had to risk some promo just to pay high prices of Michigan car insurance that was due following day.
Cons
The pay is not that great anymore, have to be in rich area, I stick with multi app for delivery.
