"After a friend got deactivated from Shipt for going above and beyond to care of her customer, I started looking for an alternative way for me to serve my clients, knowing things could change at the drop of a hat at my current gig. Dumpling was recommended and after research, I determined it was the right fit for my business. I specially love the freedom and the power that Dumpling gives me and my clients."
Top 5 reasons to dump Shipt
according to real shoppers
1. Your pay rate is set by an algorithm and tipping is unreliable...
The average earnings per order of a business running on Dumpling is over $45 and the average tip is over 18%
2. Unfair expectations of delivery times and acceptance rates.
You pick your clients, the delivery time, and delivery area. You can even hide client reviews that aren't fair.
3. They charge clients a hidden markup for groceries at most stores, averaging 14% above the in-store price, plus an annual membership fee.
Your clients always pay in-store prices, gets store sales and BOGOs, and no membership fees.
4. Only offer limited stores to shop.
Shop at Costco. And any other store for that matter.
5. Connect you to unknown clients and potentially unsafe delivery situations.
You pick only your best clients. Fire clients that don't work for you.
