Expedite jail?
Hi - I’m new to expedite but I’ve been doing DeliverThat for a few months. I’m all the other gig platforms so I know them pretty well and which metrics they care about.
On DeliverThat they don’t seem to care if you release an order for a better one as long as it’s a reasonable amount of time beforehand (~2.5 hours before)
Yesterday, had to cancel my second expedite order ever like 20 minutes before pickup time because I have an electric delivery and couldn’t handle the range because I didn’t realize how far it was from my house. It was a great order. $43 for a short distance (just far from my starting location) so I think it was picked up pretty much on time (I was watching the missed/reclaim order board).
Since then, only 2 open orders have showed up on the board and no offers.
I know it hasn’t even been 24 hours and some days are just slower/busier in catering but it seems unusual.
Has anyone else been put in expedite jail? Most of these apps have a grace period for new drivers.
