I have been a Skipcart Consumer Goods Delivery Specialist for about 4 months now, and in those four months I have completed ~220 deliveries strictly from Walmart. I am doing this as a side gig and for me it has paid off. I set a goal of five deliveries a day and for the most part that goal has been attainable. Weekends are slow but I still try to service my market area as much as possible. I was able to get my wife to sign up and together we can easily cover the 12 hours a day for our community of ~20,000. 

Unfortunately the market isn't big enough right now to need more drivers but has also caused a bottleneck when my wife and I are out of town. We have a few other drivers in the area but they aren't near as dedicated and when we are away sometimes orders go undelivered.

Still, this has been the best crowd sourced experience I have had.

They way this operate is not good for drivers and business. I have delivered orders for this company and in the process been locked out unavailable to complete delivery to get paid and customer service don't call, resolve, make the situation worse and just leave me stranded threatening to lock out of the account if early in a chat, not late, they did not help complete the order and just left frustrated with lack luster consideration and service to get paid.  Customers show lack of consideration for drivers and try to take over the delivery process not allowing to complete and they go against the drivers.

Doesn't pay what it promises. You have to constantly keep track of how many deliveries you do and how much they pay because they frequently don't pay you for completed deliveries. You will have to argue with support every day just to get your money. Support is horrible. Took me 6 days to get a simple question answered. A lot of customers don't tip and if they tip online you have no way of knowing that you have tips, and they probably won't give it to you. They also steal tips if you are on-call. On average they only pay $8 per delivery and you won't get more than one in an hour. They only pay rush hour bonuses when a delivery is late. Don't waste your time. These people don't take care of their drivers at all. They don't provide you with any tools. No dolly, No baskets, Nothing but stress.

I had a negative experience at SkipCart.  They advertise that they pay up to $24 per hour.  I never made anywhere near that.  I was lucky to get multiple deliveries in one day and they pay on average $8.30 per delivery (which is hardly worth the gas money) The way the system is structured they release the delivery at 20 minutes till the hour, you then make the delivery on the hour and can't take another one until you have completed that one.  When nobody will accept a delivery, they offer bonus incentives using the same tactics, the app won't let you begin the delivery until a certain time and then you can't make the time to get the bonus.  The system is structured for drivers to get the least amount of pay possible.  Move on to the next job opportunity.

I first started driving 3 years ago as a side hustle while going to school, which the last 2 of those years have been with Skipcart. With their competitive pay, and flexibility, I easily make double the amount I did waiting tables, and the best part about it is that I’m my own boss. 
I can chose the location and hours I want to work which works out great because sometimes I work between classes and have made an easy $60-$80 within just a few hours right by the campus, so the cost of fuel didn’t beat me up! 
The customer service personnel has a lot of compassion and good communication skills. They are really quick with responding to consumers and drivers when an issue arises. 

I started off making $14 an hour for the first two deliveries, and then every delivery after that I have been changed to $8.30 for around $8.50 per delivery. And they say the delivery fee is a dollar something and the rest is the tip. I believe their promise of pay rate is pure lies.because even when I deliver the customers occasionally will give me a $5. As a tip. I cannot seem to get more than three deliveries per day, the population in my town is just over 58,000 people. So if there’s that many people in this town, why am I only given 1-3 deliveries per day. Basically I do not feel I am being paid what I should be paid, that is why am eventually going with a different company.

This company is a joke, I did maybe 10 at most deliveries and most of of them were a waste of time. One delivery had the wrong address and about 4 got canceled on me the last minute. I drove 15 minutes to one delivery and when I showed up the guy in the parts store said that deliver is a week old.

The other deliveries they give it to other drivers who show up before you, and they compensate you a lousy $3.00 for your time. One deliver I was 5 minutes from the store and soon as I pulled in, they gave it to someone else. The support is through email and the people are rude and unhelpful.  Also, they have "hot zones" which you will never get a delivery and to call them hot zones is a joke.

You have to sign in early to start getting deliveries, if not, than you have to wait til you catch a order in the app which is hard because a lot of people are doing orders in your area, so be fast clicking accept. Other than that, once you get started and going, you could make up to $75-100/day and that's only if you don't have kids and have to check on them and pick them up type of thing.

You make deliveries and it all seems so simple and smooth until it’s time to cash out and get paid, money disappeared from my account and customer service is a automated system with no number to call and talk to a live person, they literally copy and paste responses, I only did it for a few days but made like $50 and saw none of it, and it’s really nothing I can do about it except take a loss, but DONT SIGN UP AND RUN, don’t listen to anyone who said they have gotten paid because they haven’t. they have potential but I doubt they will fix anything as long as they are scamming people and making tons of money off it because we are stupid and think everything is so sinple.

Most of the time the app does not work. The pay they claim is completely false. There pay structure is set up to take your tips to make up your base pay. Most of your deliveries will be for Walmart and wait time can be as long as an hour to get your delivery to your car. You are not paid for wait time and if you end your delivery because you can no longer wait you get NOTHING. Support is only with text and they usually are no help and will ignore  you if they dont want to answer.  You are not told how much you get paid for a delivery and you CANNOT VIEW YOUR TIPS EVER.
