I have been a delivery driver for Uber Eats in Australia for the past year. Since it’s less busy these days, I have plans to sign up with other platforms like Menulog and DoorDash. With the hope of earning more when compared to just one app. However, there is one problem, especially regarding the background check. Do I have to do a background check again when I sign up with Menulog and DoorDash? Do I Read more…
Do you know why my weekly payment status is blocked in the Dasher app? It says Deposited to bank with Blocked status. I have contacted the DoorDash support team before, and they said that my payment will be received within 24 hours, but no money came even after waiting for 2 days. When I contacted them again they advised me to check my banking information and they assumed my banking details were incorrect. I double-check Read more…
Hi there, have you ever got an “Unable to load data” error message when you want to schedule a dash using the Dasher app on your iPhone. When I’ve had this problem once or twice, I still ignore it, but lately, it’s been popping up more and more and it’s frustrating me. It seems I have been cursed with this issue because it comes almost every day and not only happens when I’m going to Read more…

Hi, I’m an Uber Eats driver with more than two years of working with this platform. I haven’t had any problems until a few days ago when I received a message from Uber about my driver’s licence which will expire in the next few days. Indeed, my driver’s licence is due for renewal next week and I did the renewal process not long ago. However, RMS only gives me a receipt and tells me that Read more…
After more than two years of operation in Australia, DoorDash is finally planned to be available in New Zealand in 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 Read more…
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…
Can you give me a solution to the problem I’m currently facing? The problem I’m having is related to the registration process to become a DoorDash delivery driver in Australia. I will try to explain it in as much detail as possible. About a week ago I registered to become a Dasher through the company’s official website which I found through a Google search. After landing on the sign-up page, I started to enter my Read more…
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…
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…
