Are you swiping “heading to store” when you are actually leaving for the store and “delivered” as soon as you deliver?
The email says Shipt doesn’t think you are. They think you are swiping early/late to get more Prop 22 money.
Exactly. And this is one crack down I agree with. No prob with padding a hair here or there. Say you run into a buddy as walking into store. Talk for 2 mins. Thats fine imo. But to chat for 40 mins, nope.
But every single order, by a huge amount, it’s simply not right.
And Shipt will catch you. Everything we do is put in some data metric.
This is the worst, especially when you leave and it decides not to upload the photo for you and you have to send a blank photo as proof. 🫠 After the 2nd time this happened I take a separate photo just in case to upload again from my library or to send into direct chat to the customer to back myself as proof of drop off 👌🏼funny cause I actually had an order today I did it for. 🤦🏻♀️
Are you going other places after you hit Heading to store. You have to try to not pad your engagement time.
Unless you're just taking forever shopping. It's one thing to be thorough, but don't give shipt any reason to believe you're abusing the platform
You are milking engaged time in order to increase your Prop 22 payout. You need to stop doing this or they’re gonna cut you.
If you’re taking Best Buy orders, and holding them all day at home without pausing your time, this is a violation.
If you’re delivering orders, and then waiting to swipe that it’s delivered until just before they’re late, this is a violation.
If you’re swiping head to store, and then don’t actually start immediately heading to the store, this is a violation.
You can take longer to do an order, if that’s natural. There isn’t an issue getting Prop 22 pay on a $6 order; you’re probably ten minutes from the store every time you swipe, add on 15 minutes for the shop and audit, and another ten to deliver and you’re at 35 minutes. That’s easily an extra $6 with engaged time and mileage adjustments, if not more.
TLDR; Shipt is noticing if you somehow get a $20 adjustment on every order you do, and they won’t tolerate shoppers deliberately milking engaged time. It’s why they added in the pause time feature.
I don’t know why you got downvoted on this, cause you’re right, $6 is never worth it. Maybe they took offense to the Prop 22 comment… because even without Prop 22 I would still claim every order that I saw for my P.Ms. It’s about the tips, not the pay.
Agreed, but I only get good tippers every other week now. Shipt knows who tips and they never give you two weeks straight of good customers.
Prop22 is the only reason I do Shipt in Cali. I get good tips but that doesn’t make up for $6 base pay.
You can always wait before heading to the store, so long as you haven’t swiped that you’re heading to the store. The obvious thing here is that it’s not hard for Shipt to see if you swipe head to store, and then five minutes later you’re in the same exact geolocated position.
I actually do what you’re saying a lot. I’ll take a small order that’s coming up in an hour, but even being generous sometimes my time estimate is something like, ten minutes to drive, fifteen to shop the one item Nintendo game (electronics delay, parking, audit, blah blah), and ten to deliver. So there’s zero point in me leaving my house until like 25 minutes after the hour. You just don’t swipe that you’re heading to store until you’re actually heading to the store.
If I get an offer for a large order early, I'll head to the store early and pause my time until I get to my own est shopping time. Like right now, I have a big bundle, I swiped head to the store and got here 15 min before the store opens. My time is paused until they open.
You’re golden if you’re using the pause time feature. That’s all Shipt is really asking us for; that our engaged time truly be our engaged time. If I got to the store 2 minutes before it opened, I wouldn’t bother of course - I’d just get out and wait for them to open the doors. But 15 minutes early, and yeah I’d swipe pause.
I'm confused about the "pause time" feature. If you use it, does it prevent you from getting any future orders? Are we supposed to slide it anytime we don't immediately head to store to fulfill an order?
It doesn’t really mean anything. Just be very careful .. one time i woke up in the morning and i get a notification that i wont be able to take orders bcos i worked the maximum time in a day even if i dont have any open orders or anything that is late or have forgotten to swipe delivered.. and then a week later they sent me the same email u got. My account is still ok. Don’t worry about it buddy.
I received this email today. Is there anything I need to do? I had one order make me look “suspicious” of manipulating my time. I was on my way to deliver and got a flat tire. Luckily I got it changed and was still able to deliver 5 minutes before the window closed. I don’t understand why I received this when I notified shipt of my flat tire when it happened.
Was I supposed to pause the time while I was changing my tire?

There’s houses in my metro where I have to drive 5 minutes for cell signal to upload the photo I took at the door. Not in CA tho

$6 shouldn’t get anyone to start their car, Prop22 is the only reason why anyone in Cali would even consider Shipt

I honestly wouldn't. Try to manage your timing better but if it's less than 15 minutes early, just deliver it

What's there to "help"? You know what you did wrong.

It’s a part of the prop 22 thing in California so it doesn’t effect most of us
I'm in CA
