In reality, more like $2~$4/hr you'll be making. $20/hr = scam - werkgeversreview Courier bij Postmates Fleet

Don't know where to start! 1.Gas prices + wear & tear on your vehicle = you'll be making negative dollars in the long run. Average job will be around 5-7 dollars. Lets say it takes you 30 minutes to complete ONE job. You have to first drive up to the restaurant, wait for the order, and then drive to the drop off location. That 7 dollar job just became a 4 dollar job after your gas usage and other vehicle wear (especially in a city with terrible roads (D.C)). 2.We live off of tips, but yet the tip button is the smallest thing on the screen. WHY? I guess they dont want the customers to feel obligated to tip. 3.I figured this job would be perfect for being a college student, but it ends up exhausting you to no end. All the stop & go driving, watching out for other crazy drivers, and then risking getting a ticket for double parking is not worth it at all. Good luck working during rush hour traffic. 4.They need to send orders to people that are CLOSE to the restaurant. No one is going to drive 30 minutes one way for a 5 dollar job. That's why everyone keeps rejecting jobs, which equates to unhappy customers. 5.Like others have mentioned, 30% goes to uncle same so that 5 dollar job after gas, etc is now a 1 dollar job. 6.Customer support is clueless and they often give up on restaurants that dont pick their phone up. So while you're busting to get their to pick the order up, they call you 20 minutes later and deliver the news that you have to place it at the location.
