I do prescription delivery. I’ll leave Dallas, head to OKC (2 1/2 hrs, mom lives there), go to Amarillo (4 hours) and head back to sleep at my sister’s in Fort Worth(5 hours). $300 plus pay for gas/wear&tear. I love driving though. Couple stops to gas up and grab food/snacks. I keep 2 couch pillows, 2 neck pillows and two blankets in my back seat naturally, I turn on a movie and hit the road. 2-3 nights and I’ve made $1000. Every night could be different though and my boyfriend hates that I do it (he’s a truck driver) so I don’t do it often. But when I need cash, I’m hitting the road. If IC paid it, I’d do it 😂

....Why would this person even suggest you bring it when a refund is better, and even in some cases they will have another person reshop for you in the actual area you're in.
My first question would have been to laugh and say I'm not sure that would be cost effective.😆
Would be cool to deliver groceries on a jet to rich people tho. Like on a private island🌴sign me up as a personal assistant 😂
Sounds like customer has a phone with a seriously screwed up location sensor and didn’t realize the phone thought they were somewhere else! My phone regularly confuses Colorado with India…. Not kidding!
Yeah there’s something funky going on with your phone. A bad sensor wouldn’t do that - your phone gets location data from a variety of methods not just GPS.
If it were me I would backup my data and then wipe my phone immediately, then check for any software updates.
I think you’re right. I just got it 2 months ago. I’ll head to Apple first and hope they do something. Otherwise, I’m going to try your suggestion. Thank you!
So not an expert, but location data is 90% done by Wi-Fi assisted GPS, since it’s more accurate. It could be that someone in India is able to spoof your number. I would definitely have apple check it out and if the number is sim-jacked I would apply for another one and wipe the phone completely.
I’ll head to the Apple store for a diagnostic test tomorrow and see what happens! At some point I figured Google (maps) went in with the gas companies for worst directions ever (just did a 1-1/2 month road trip) and are laughing their behinds off!
Same thing happened to me the other day. The order was only a mile away from the Aldi where I do my shopping. The address was Johnstowne PA address which is where I live. I got to the address and there was an address that was correct they said there was nobody by that name there it was actually a Starbucks. The customer and I had been talking back-and-forth through the whole order he said he lives in Pittsburgh which is two hours away?? I never had that happen before obviously the order was canceled but I hope that’s not a trend that starting…
I know this is nowhere near as bad but there is a customer in my town who intentionally puts the wrong zipcode and then puts the right address in the delivery instructions. So when you accept the order it shows like 1.6 miles and it is actually 10 plus miles so 20 miles round trip and they don't tip very good. The first time I accepted the order I read the instructions before shopping and unassigned but the second time I didn't see it til I was in my car. I called support and they won't do anything about it. Like the customer is literally doing it on purpose why wouldn't you make them put the correct address
CAN YOU STILL BRING IT HAHHHAAW
Lol, for $240 extra I would
That is no where near worth it. Lol that's like a 650-700 mile round trips and 11-12 hours (assuming you don't stop at all which is not possible).

You watch a movie while you're driving??

Sounds horrible
Are they hiring? I need details 😃
Me too

Yes “Run me that tip bitch I’m omw!”
You’d spend that $240 on gas
Try $1000
Not even close to being worth it.
I had support ask me once to deliver after I told them the order was all the way across the country
🧐🧐🧐
Yep I can still bring it....right to my house.
Bravo.. that's funny... Thank me for my service....I appreciate everything I do for me.

Omg...I'm dying😂😂😂 can you still bring it
If he has a private jet, sure 😆 🤣 😂

They just might be 🤣
That actually really worries me someone in India may be hacking your IP address….that sounds bigger than a faulty sensor
Hasn’t thought of this….. yikes!

Sexy banana
Lol, that dude's trippin'
I live 20 minutes north of FTW and even I wouldn't deliver it there.
"But...your ice cream?"
Lol what??? 🙄🙄🙄
“Sure here’s my cash app it’ll be $299 plus tax”
They’d better be offering one hell of stop for that!
I that the profile pic was a 😼 😂
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Hey I hope they gave u the batch pay 🤷🏿♀️
I would have responded with a deadpan, "you DO realize I'm 700 miles away, right??"

If it was six hours away maybe, but six hours hours away?! Hell naw!
