DoorDash Driver in New Zealand: Requirements, Availability, Pay and more

After more than two years of operation in Australia, DoorDash is finally available in New Zealand starting May 2022. The positive growth of their on-demand delivery service in neighbouring countries may be a strong motive for their decision to open their service here. In New Zealand, DoorDash will go head to head with Uber Eats, which is an existing market leader in the country. In addition, the company will compete with the local delivery platform Read more…

Error message “Please have your red card setup” when Try to Schedule or Start a Dash

I ran into a pretty weird issue with the Dasher app today. The app doesn’t allow me to start a Dash for an unusual reason. It’s related to the Dasher red card. I often hear drivers around asking about this, and today I felt it too. When I tap a Dash Now button in the app, a popup window appears saying, We are unable to start your dash at this time due to “Please have Read more…

Doordash Shop and Deliver in Australia – Is it worth your time and effort?

I’d like to hear your opinions and experiences as a Dasher, especially when getting a job to deliver non-restaurant orders from the convenience and grocery shops such as Coles, IGA, The Reject Shop, PETStock and others. I often get this kind of order, especially from Coles Express. I think Doordash grocery order is not too bad to do because the procedure is not too different from restaurant order and sometimes it pays better. We only Read more…

Why Amazon Flex doesn’t reimburse my toll road charges? How to claim it correctly

Hi there, I just had my first month with Amazon Flex. When doing the blocks I sometimes have to pass tolls to reach customer locations as quickly as possible. Sometimes it is still possible for me to avoid tolls on some routes, especially when there are no traffic jams on the road. When I decide to avoid tolls, of course, it will lead to rising the time to complete the block. After all, why should Read more…

Is DoorDash Fast Pay Available in Australia? Daily Cash Out Feature for Dasher

Just wondering if fast pay is already available in Australia. And have you ever heard of the Australian Dasher being successful with it? I have done all the requirements, such as having been active with the Doordash platform for more than a month and making more than 100 lifetime deliveries. However, it is still telling me I’m ineligible for it. It’s a little bit frustrating because I’ve decided to focus on Doordash over any other Read more…

Does Amazon Flex Reimburse Parking Fee? What are the actual expenses that we can claim?

Hi, I just tried submitting a claim for parking fee reimbursement after my block finished. Unfortunately, Amazon said that they do not cover the costs of parking. I am quite disappointed with this decision because, in fact, I have to spend money out of my own pocket to cover the parking cost? As we know, actual conditions in the field sometimes require us as delivery drivers to park multiple times and sometimes we have to Read more…

Menulog Driver Reimbursement for Long Wait Times at Restaurant, How much is it?

Hi there. I am relatively new to Menulog and just had my first poor experience with them. One day I got an order from a fast food restaurant in Melbourne. Soon after getting the delivery request, I rushed to go to the restaurant because its position was not too far from my current location. At first, I thought the process would be as fast as when I pick up from other restaurants, which on average Read more…

Deactivated due to Cancelling Amazon Flex Blocks, Can I get reactivated?

Hi, I have a question regarding my deactivated/blocked Amazon Flex account. The reason behind this deactivation is that I have cancelled or forfeited the block within 45 minutes. Actually, I didn’t just do it once, I think I’ve forfeited about 4 times this month. I had to do it because there was an urgent situation when I was going to the delivery station. I know this behaviour violates the Amazon Flex program policy but are Read more…
