Yet — rather than notice the price point at which I do them, that I’m a reliable shopper, and say “Hey! I have a ton of these to get done again — would you like your route that you did for $XX each last time?”, they spam me to do them at base rate for a month
If you're referring to JITB, I get emails that say exactly that: "Want to do the same location again for $<bonused amount>?"
I usually get those as well at the end of periods — in my case the most recent e-mail I received was to do the same ones I did yesterday — for $2 less each. Nope!
I was referring in general to the way these are priced — I get tons of emails from the schedulers over the course of a period begging me to do previous ones I’ve done... but they only offer $5... then 7... then 9... then some are 9 and some are 11... 14... 15... obviously tons are still sitting. I just did 40 over 2 days between 17 and 20 each. 15 is the magic number for my closer ones — once it’s 17 and 20 I’ll make a weekend out of it.
My point is... if they are that desperate, and know what my rate is, why play the game? If I was able to plan these easier, I’d actually be able to hit a number of their extremely hard to fill ones that I know they always miss.[/quo
I have five locations within a five mile radius, and $12 is my minimum, with $15 being the highest they've offered so far. Recently, they have been messaging me to do shops outside of my area. Today, I received a $20 offer, which is the highest yet, but the location is a 2.5 hour drive, round trip. Also, there is a new "rule", stating that only one location can be done for that price.
I live in a semi rural area, and the max offered, as prices increase on the job board, is lower than the larger cities. I don't understand why the same shop maxes out at $10 on the job board here, but will reach $14, or more, in LA and other large cities. I once asked for a higher bonus to do the five local shops, plus another seven or so outside my area. I was told, at the time, that they couldn't go over the $12 they were offering. A few days later, they emailed me, and asked me to do them for $14, but I had already filled in my schedule, and couldn't fit them in.
I agree that it would save a lot of time if they would just offer the jobs at the price they know I'll accept, instead of sending the endless emails they send for base pay.
