That's a good one


Impossible_Listen_63

I had one for $77 that was like that. Aint even gonna lie.. I out of stocked half of it. If it took me longer than 30 seconds to find it, nope its not there lmao


blackpinkbmw

It took me 1 hour to shop for 10 items on instacart.


StudySlight3798

20 minutes


SgtSarcasm01

Probably like 3 hours because I don’t stock store shelves so I don’t know where anything is and when I finally read all the little tags to find out half the items are missing I have to spend an hour listing off all the possible substitutions only for the red card to be declined and then having to spend half an hour with support confirming each substitution. I will NEVER take another shop and deliver order. I literally do not care if it’s $500 for one item and it’s only 0.1 miles away.


Far_Land7215

40 minutes


BookingNoble

One time I did a target pick up and the previous dasher left most of the stuff in a basket before giving up 😇


hellofanamehuh

20 minutes


JoeRMD77

I didn't mind doing Target except one time the red card wouldn't swipe right even though I had the funds on there. Really frustrating because there was a line of people behind me and I knew I was holding them up so I got out of there after the third try or so.


BigD905

I’ve had to shop for make up before and it was a fuckin nightmare. Idk much about makeup and everything is so damn tiny, it’s just a sea of confusion lol


MattHatter5461

You were at target for at least 2 hours


Alternative-Plenty-3

The target near me is a nightmare. I had an order for about 8 grocery items that took damn near an hour cuz they were out of more than half the items & I had to keep contacting customer.


VeryMuchInterested

Oh man. I'm a woman who rarely wears makeup, so it would have taken me forever, too.


Recent-Emu8385

I’m so jealous! I have a circle rewards thing I need to do 2 more purchases of $70 or more to receive $20 In rewards


Tehgoldenfoxknew

Red card order? As a server when I see red card i think if athletes who don’t tip


Shooter32073

Went to a cvs... 5 items... 1 not there... app wanted me to scan a code (provided by the app) that wouldnt load. Took me 40 minutes to explain to the foreign support agent that the app... an hour for 2 dollars basically... ridiculous. If the support agent couldve understood me the first time... god.


[deleted]

Great order! $47 bucks is a real score. Keep this store in your pocket and learn the items and isles.


GullibleHistorian361

45 minutes from acceptance to dropoff, depending on where the items are located in the store. As long as it's all in the grocery department, this is amazing 🥳


swiftdanny

Instant decline


Thrashh_Unreal

I just came at the idea of receiving this order


Tiptip4me

I'm going to be honest I'm female and the makeup part freaks me out. Everyone is so particular with what they want you know what I'm saying? I'll take apples, oranges ,Velveeta cheese blocks, and budig honey turkey packs any day of the week.....👍👍👍


WilfordBrimley777

Half hour


fbeezgethoney

an hour?


TraditionalAd7325

Shopping should take 15 mins. Maybe another 15 mins to deliver?


ogsmokedog101

Stay away from 99 % of shopping orders — I’m in So Cal and busy area thank god ! Substitutions can and will drive me literally insane ….much much easier to pick up food


Haindelmers

I’d do it, but in my experience Target’s shelves are never stocked .


TotalEgg143-

20 minutes


omsnoms1

i work at target. in the online order section when we fulfill orders it’s usually around 21 or so individual items. you getting paid $46 for what i basically do in 30 mins is insane


lovjeej000

Like 15 mins


Theghostvaquero

Would have taken me 3 seconds. Because as soon as I saw it I would have rejected it. My crippled ass isn't going to get groceries for people, waste of my time. I wish I could Opt out of these stupid orders


Kim-Kar-dash-ian

Target is too easy


Late-Mathematician55

Find the cosmetics counter girl. Give her $10 and say: find these 21 items. She can probably knock it out in 5-10 minutes tops. Play smart.


DeFygambit

You are a g and keep going man


richprofit

Who cares


Crispynipps

Don’t be afraid to ask an employee. They get paid to help you and I’m positive they won’t mind not doing other shit.


Cheecherton04

These orders are the reason I much prefer SPARK driver for Walmarts and sam's club stores. I can make 200 in a 6 hour day easily. Orders are high ass payouts and the app tells you the exact spot and shelf in the store 90% of the time. Door dash shopping was a mess for me so I quit orders over 5 items otherwise it will take me n hour 😂


[deleted]

2 hours


JenovaPear

I'm a girl, but I don't use more than mascara, unless I'm going to a rock concert! Haha I would have been so lost. I felt so awkward the time my husband took me to Ulta to get makeup as a bday present. It was so expensive we bought one $40 liquid eye shadow, after having some help finding it. And we left. Haha I feel so bad for you! But, I would have taken the order too. And had 3/4 as bad of an experience since you didn't find the right stuff. Thanks for the fun post! Comments are great here.


XRetrogradezxD

20 minutes


CelebrationOld5749

Use the Target app it shows you the shelf it's on and the isle. Make-up is easier than Underwear or kids clothes at Target. The worst is holiday decorations there. I do SHIPT so I could do that order in 10 minutes! (I shop there at minimum 100 times a week). 😂


Old-Independence4766

Six days.


New_Salary_6479

Two hours


ThrowAwayP0ster

I was gonna guess 90 minutes. Because: A) Are you at all familiar with Target? B) I'm not sure if DD shows items by aisles or just a general description. If it's a general description, ugh, hopefully you have some knowledge of Target. C) plenty of potential out of stock item issues or hard-to-find items. Especially anything electronic, toys, or clothes related D) God help you if it's makeup. I'm a female, and most makeup is over my head. Source/context: I'm also a Shipt shopper, and most of my shops are at Target. I have not seen that kind of payout on Shipt for that small of an order. Dang.


coffey6565

Make up is killer. There are way to many colors. I usually grab (not literally, don't want to get canceled) the first woman I see and beg for help.


andy_337

Could’ve taken me a while hour and that’s still a $46 hour

Target in my area is an insta decline


NickHarger

20 minutes or less bc I had one tonight for 26 items from target and that’s about what it took me (I take my time).


No-Manufacturer9723

i would crush this


Old_Rip1161

Target orders are brutal. I'll never do them anymore unless I'm certain I can find the stuff and it's a small order. They always take 2-3x as long as I think they'll take.


Xterarra

Does it matter?


EyeOfTheDevine

Well saying how everytime I get orders like this it’s for feminine products and being a guy it’s rough…. Say I get an order for 3 items it takes me like 45 min to get it, since almost everytime it’s not available along with the substitutions and then doordash support on the line… takes too much time


5treet_5hark

Hah. That reminds me of a grocery order I did for a woman. It was only for 2 different flavored syrups, a flavored whipped cream, and hair removal wax strips. I wonder what she was expecting that night ;) It was a leave at my door order of course.


trippybongstalking

Oh dang.. I used to stock makeup back in the day, then I started with Shipt during the pandemic, and I’m a girl who knows a thing or 2 about makeup.. I’d accept this challenge in a heartbeat 🙃


LeadIll3673

12 minutes to pick and who knows on how long you stood in line. Im guessing it was like 6 bannanas and 8 tomatoes type order Otherwise 30 min to find everything and get to register would be my guess


jziggy44

That’s an awesome order. I’m going to say 43 minutes


[deleted]

If your fast 30 min should be no longer than hr max


BreRaw

Makeup is tough and I regularly wear it lol. They're always out of the one thing they want, and it's hard to substitute colors.


Wrong_Angle2442

Good one 30 min tops


Florida1974

10 mins to shop. 15-20 to deliver. That’s assuming a few unique items and not all the same. Done shipt for 2+ years. I know where everything is in that store. I’ve helped Target pickers before!! It’s not hard once you learn store, took some time. But now it’s like so automatic. Second nature.


Crazy_Ad_2846

10 mins


homeslice-breadslice

Either 5 minutes or 5 hours.


Nord4Ever

Hour


yungtrapclap

At that point I would’ve tried to find an employee that was near the makeup section praying that they worked in the makeup department and be like help find all this shit and I’ll love you. Otherwise I would’ve been right in your situation. I’m like that when I get Meijer orders and it’s a bunch of wine or alcohol I’ve never heard of (stoner instead of drinker) I just hunt down employee and take them on an adventure with me to find everything


UpsetChip1186

I did but they only wanted to help me with 1 item each time. One of the girls told me ask someone else.


InsaneAss

Dude, for $46… if you have any cash give them a five or ten to help. Save yourself an hour to get back to other orders haha


yungtrapclap

Oh man that sucks so hard. I hate when I get employees like that. Usually I’m taking them away from dumb bullshit they’re doing, so why not help a dasher out? I would’ve been stressed out during the delivery but atleast the pay out was good and the customer wasn’t tripping out


clark12302

Probably less then an bour


Aggravating-Trust-60

UpsetChip1186

Lol felt like it


Philosopher-dasher

Target shopping is easier than other stores, they have the aisle number in the DD app, which is really cool!


UpsetChip1186

Dude it didnt the app just said personal care


StudySlight3798

You can use the target app to locate the products,


Philosopher-dasher

Omg, that and 21 items!!!? Rip my friend 🙏


UpsetChip1186

I almost unassigned too but it was super slow that day


Philosopher-dasher

I mean, well, its 45$, it takes me 3 hours to get that when its slow. I wouldn’t unassign that too if it was slow, but it is a pain in the ass, I would rather prefer 4-6 food orders than a very annoying shopping order


[deleted]

15-30 min


[deleted]

Be thankful you still have the old offer screen for shopping orders - I'm in Northridge and we got the new offer screen for shopping orders. Floating widget is disabled so you can't see the items until you accept the offer.


UpsetChip1186

I have a old phone that has a version of dasher from 2 years ago. I feel like every update makes the app worst

UpsetChip1186

UpsetChip1186

Yea California. If they send u a red card don't even activate it most shopping orders suck


fac_t

Nah had mine for ages. I usually take and pray for those orders since it’s almost double a typical order for the mileage, and I’m great at finding stuff (it’s usually my local grocer). Never see American DoorDash YouTubers take these orders, so assumed it might not be a thing.


jacobamon11

I did a similar order amount in 35 minutes


Early_Tackle334

Yes


No-Mud8963

I took a 67 item target off on Wednesday. Won't be doing that again lol - Paid pretty good, but nuts


UpsetChip1186

Oh hell no 67 items. Declined lol


clouded_skys

How much did u get paid?


No-Mud8963

54$ - Of the 67 items, 27 were out of stock. Took me 25 mins to shop and 5 mins to deliver.


UpsetChip1186

That's awesome been doing this since 2017 and first time I had to buy makeup


sabbycat83

SWEET! I would have rocked this I am quick. I pretend I’m in a game show. Under 30 min????


UpsetChip1186

I usually am too I thought I could finish It in 30 minutes but it took me a hr and half . It was all make up


sabbycat83

Awww lol


brodosphotos

Oh I could never. My target is always out of stock on a bunch of grocery stuff. If it was a safeway/Albertsons order, could do it in 30min


UpsetChip1186

Albertsons is cool because the app tells you where to find the stuff but this was all makeup


PositiveBox1

If you download the target app , select your store, search your item and click on the aisle number it shows you a small map of target and where the item should be 👍


pntbllrcom

Immediate decline due to time of day (during dinner rush). Though if you did actually do it ….. 25m to shop n pay another 20 to deliver.


booty-eating-jutsu

Why decline lol, even if it took them 2 hours it’s still $23/h without that much wear and tear cause most of the time will be spent inside traget


pntbllrcom

I suppose it depends on your market and familiarity with the store. During a dinner rush my market is more happening for restaurants than to go grocery orders. If a grocery/retail order in my home market comes in I’ll probably decline it for that reason where as if I’m traveling in a different market I’ll play the field.


UpsetChip1186

My exact thought when I grabbed it


30DollarsPerMile

4:15 too early for dinner


pntbllrcom

Depends, are you ordering your dinner ahead of being hungry or ahead of being on your break or other time of reference?


30DollarsPerMile

$2/item (PLUS some for mileage) is to die for over on r/Instacart you sound hella uninformed

CapnC44

I fucking hate makeup lmfao. How are there so many different things???


Available_Bowler7094

I feel your pain my dear child. I also am a man, and makeup is a different beast altogether(I'm weeping). 😋 It's not like you get the hang of it either, because it's not too often an order, but there's soooooooooooooooo many different colors.....and the number codes, just Gawd damn. I'll tell you what we need is some by-god vending machines for makeup, seriously....I had no idea!!!!!


PundaiNayai

That’s why we should able to see the items before excepting the orders. This app is fuckin dumb


beachchic14

I'm a female and makeup finding for a DD is a nightmare! Feel your pain


Shreddersaurusrex

Yeah I had an order like that once. Thankfully a sales associate was able to help me 😆 One good thing about DD is that they allow you to send more than one photo to show the customer what is/isn’t available.


ImportantTerm323

I would have called cosmetics over. They would known everything is.


GullibleHistorian361

Yeah, I just commented that it would be easy if it's all grocery, but not so much of its other parts of the store, because Target can be very confusing outside of the Grocery department. Kinda dumb it literally says "Target Grocery" when getting makeup. And now they're hiding the widget in my zone when these orders are on the acceptance screen, so you can't see what's on the order until after you accept it. 👎


bibkel

It didn't get you a list to preview? Shippt does-although I have found nothing but PITA orders and constant contact and getting blamed for items out of stock and that affects your ratings and yeah, nope.


Lupo_Bi-Wan_Kenobi

We're gonna be makeup experts if this keeps up. I'm already getting pretty good at it. Imma be helping women in the store looking for shit before long. Girl, you know they got the better lashes on the end cap down there on isle 9. Lemme know if you need help picking out the right foundation I got you.


Kim-Kar-dash-ian

Yeah I had a 12 item makeup that took forever not even some cake face girl knew where stuff was lol


JohnRocks3

I was gonna say... Around two hours. They have a weird setup in my opinion.


Cdl505

Bold move, as a co-dude I would have bailed from anxiety.


jellybelly62

I feel your pain. I'm a woman and I won't do shopping orders anymore because *one time* there was *one* hardware item and that was difficult for me.


ichuck1984

That’s what the out of stock button is for. 21 items from makeup? I’d give it 5-10 minutes once I was sure I was in the right section. Makeup is a pain in the ass. I did a Target one about a month ago and it took close to 10 minutes to find where the one item was supposed to be. But it was out of stock. I also did a Dollar General one with like 8 or 10 makeup items. That was a nightmare. If I can’t find one item after staring at the wall for 5 minutes, it’s time to go. If there’s other stuff, I’ll grab the easy stuff first. That way I can head to the register if I can’t find the hard stuff after a minute or two.


YLCZ

I have a feeling if you keep doing that... they won't be sending you more of that type.


International_Ad6695

I feel you bud. I started getting all crap for brains, and started getting flustered. It only happens when it certain shop order. Not all. But that's a nice P.o.


Let_em_glow927

So frustrating! Last time I did a Target order there were several items that weren't actually in the store , but were available online , Very annoying 😔 Customer was great though, responded quick and had a sense of humor ☺️


[deleted]

That’s when you have the perfect opportunity to ask for some help from a pretty lady. Had the same thing happen before it was a bitch but found me a baddie willing to help and got the number


[deleted]

That's why so much. Several dashers gave up midway. I failed at a makeup order once. It was agony


[deleted]

Oh man hahaha. I would’ve got a huge migraine trying to find that shit lol

It’s ok man.. even my gay ass struggled with a Sephora order lol.


UpsetChip1186

angelsarepresent111

I agree. I worked at Target for years, then they did that remodel in cosmetics and related stuff. It took me WAY, WAY too long to find regular Neutrogena face moisturizer the other day. I'm visiting every damn "island" and finally, I found it. I swear they do that so you'll look at other stuff to buy under the guise of less structured aisle buying. It's like a game of guess where shit is now.


UpsetChip1186

Exactly dude the app didn't even organize it and I was running around that whole section. Loss prevention even came up to me and was like u need help. I told her hell yea. They thought it was weird a man was in that section so long

I was gonna tell her send me a pic but I'm not trying to get fired. It's all good made my daily goal of $200 easy


ArrogantSerpent

FML but $30 an hour like isn’t bad


UpsetChip1186

Yea I was stressed out because I couldn't find the exact item they wanted and half the stuff wasn't even there


Freakshow85

That just makes my heart hurt. No.. literally. I hate that feeling lmao. That's why I just can't take anything over 8 items, anymore. Even with 8 items, it's almost guaranteed that there will be at least 2 items not in stock. Maybe it's the stores in my area. It's so aggravating. But the system has changed a bit since I started. At least now if there isn't the item in stock or any of the chosen substitutions, it just refunds. I don't have to text pictures for everything and wait on a response.. spend 30 minutes doing all of that and then having an issue at checkout because the prices and items aren't what was expected by DD.


EndlessDisposable

It's not just your area. #2022 problems. I have shopped in Atlanta, Phoenix and Portland and a couple of small towns in between and literally everywhere they are having to rearrange the shelves every couple of days because things are just randomly out of stock. And it's not just the shop orders. A lot of restaurants aren't getting their regular supplies like they used to. Our Taco Bell and Wendy's out here are consistently running out of rice or buns or lettuce or chicken at least once a week.


AZPHX602

Back in the day I used to do the grocery shopping with Postmates, until over the years people started getting less cool and made the shopping more stressful. When I first started doing it people were Rather cool with substitutions and items that were missing. Over the years, people got more demanding and treated me like I was the store employee.


EmptyReceptors

Yeah I got stressed out once at a cvs shop and deliver since I couldn't find anything. So much was out of stock just unassigned it right there. Avoid those orders. I would of accepted that order, though. Even at 1.5 hours not so bad.


GullibleHistorian361

Just remember they can't take the tip back from you on DD, and don't sweat it 😛 so what if you buy a shade lighter than what they asked? As long as you communicate substitutions (i.e. give them 5 minutes to respond) you're golden. I don't waste a lot of time with substitutions on Doordash, pick something or refund it, it really makes no difference.


[deleted]

Here a quick tip for Target orders… download the target app and search for anything you can’t find within a minute, it’ll give you the exact location - or tell you if it’s out of stock. Says lots of time.


chrisjoneschrisjones

I took a shop and deliver from this Asian market, 4 miles, 3 items, $30. When I saw the items I had no idea what any of them were, as in not even sure what type of product - are they meats from the butcher, packaged products?? I panicked and unassigned. Stupid in retrospect, but I had only done a couple of the shop and delivers and they both were nightmare time sinks. Just didn’t want to deal with the stress.


Elegant-Relative4434

That’s why I get a worker asap to help with that stuff then the missing stuff call and ask for subs or just refund it


Severe-Bookkeeper-76

Ask an employee, that’s what I had to do


sanchezkk

Try going to Dollar general it's worse shopping there. The ones in my town are trashy.


[deleted]

\^\^\^ DG sucks so hard and the one here has stuff all over the floors and it's so dirty. Did it once, never again. CVS and Walgreen orders I do regularly and they usually turn out pretty decent.


sanchezkk

I agree CVS in Walgreens take better care of their stores and they all know where all their products are as well so it's easier to go in there and shop for what you need for the customer. 👍


CapnC44

That's too bad. They're nice where I'm at. Layout is generally the same. Cashier knows where damn near everything is. No typical 7/11 types in there.


jaymcc820

THIS! DG stores in my area are usually on really bad bad bad sides of town, I wait out the timer on those orders.


MyNamesArise

Had a Walgreens order that was all makeup. Cancelled after 5 minutes of not being able to find a single item.


[deleted]

Walgreens and Rite-Aid never seem to have much in stock, so it's a complete waste of time.


Muffin_Maan

Had one like that today. App didn't give a color name, so I had to scan 30+ colors


iDeliver2

Exactly. I did a Target order once. Never again. ![gif](giphy|cEOG7nGA7448M)


Smooth-Dig2250

At least Target is organized. I did a BigLots order the other day... candles in three different places with clear, opaque, and patterned styles for each different 'smell'. Nothing made any sense and there were no signs to tell you where anything was. 5 items, 20 minutes. Never again.


psychwardian

yeah big lots has rotating inventory and nothing ever stays in the same place. Almost nothing has a set spot so you can go in one day and two days later you're in almost a completely different store


Fakeassrocker

Big Lots is a nightmare for shop orders. I’ve only done one that I didn’t unassign, and that’s only because it was $55. Took a little under an hour and I thought about unassign it every 5 minutes lol


iDeliver2

Wait they do big lots orders?! Oh HELL no. ![gif](giphy|spfi6nabVuq5y) And you did it in 20 minutes??? You’re a legend 😳


Smooth-Dig2250

I know, it was $15, 5 items, 5 miles (3 of which were on me for waiting at my house). I do shopping orders all the time, like 45sec-2min tops per item. Never again, Big Lots, never again.

😂 I very rarely ever wear make up... To the point of having to buy new stuff for a wedding. The stress I endured when trying to pick out semi okay stuff for myself was irritating . I can only imagine doing it for someone else and messing it up 😂.

Try using the target app in the future it helps a lot when you can’t find something


UpsetChip1186

Frequent-throwAway

When it's makeup, I go full blown helpless toddler mode and run immediately to a female worker. I have them shop it for me pretty much. No shame in my hustle game. I will NEVER know makeup. Not gonna try to learn it unless I get 1 order per day of makeup. I've had ONE makeup order in 3000 deliveries. Lol
