RoxanneThe explosion of the Internet has made it extremely simple to order things from the comfort of your couch. And this has created a demand for drivers to deliver it all.
While pizza may have paved the way in the delivery scene, you can now take everything under the sun to its rightful owner and get paid for it.
Which places offer the best perks when it comes to delivery? We’ll list several of them now so you can sign up and start stacking cash soon.
Some of the Best Delivery Services to Work For
Postmates
As with most of the services in this list, the biggest benefit of working with Postmates is that you get to set your schedule. This makes it ideal for:
- College students who can’t sacrifice study time.
- Single parents seeking side income when the kids are at school.
- Anyone needing extra income, but without the time for a steady second job.
What will you be doing as you deliver for Postmates? Taking groceries, food, retail items, and more to people who buy them.
You can get instant deposits and cash out when you want. Plus, you get to keep 100 percent of any tips you make.
Amazon Flex
Depending on where you live, you could make between $18 and $25 per hour delivering for Amazon Flex.
You can pick blocks of time when you want to work or schedule ahead for added structure. And since Amazon is so huge when it comes to online purchases, you’re bound to have plenty of work so you can save or have extra cash to pay the bills.
Uber Eats
Driving rowdy strangers around in your car as an Uber driver may not be appealing, but delivering food may not seem so bad. Work with Uber Eats, and you can do just that.
If you don’t have a ton of time to dedicate towards delivery, Uber Eats will let you work for as little as one hour per week.
Do you need a car to be eligible? No, because depending on where you live, you could deliver using your bike, scooter, or even on foot.
Roadie
Out of all of the apps on this list, Roadie stands alone in terms of its uniqueness. This clever app helps people receive items by using delivery drivers who are already headed that way.
Deliver for Roadie, and you could earn up to $60 for local deliveries. Do longer hauls, and that number can jump up to $650, which could put a nice dent in your monthly rent.
Shipt
Do you love shopping? Do it with other people’s money via Shipt, and you can earn up to $22 per hour to buy your own stuff later on.
Whether it’s full-time or part-time work as a Shipt shopper, you’ll get paid every week.
