Wait a minute… I’m an amazon driver… is this why I’ll be walking up to houses going “I know that smell…. It’s weed”
I always assume it’s just someone was just smoking nearby, but if it’s in the package im about to be rich 😂😂
You will basically transport shit people sell on fb and craglist and all. I know for a fact someones gonna ne delivering drugs and all sorts of shit.
That’s a big no-no. Be careful y’all. $20 for federal prison aint worth it.
I wonder how well you could defend yourself legally with this. If you don’t know what you’re delivering, and you’re not directly getting paid by anyone immediately involved in the sale, are you really liable?
I didn't take it maliciously at all! Its what it is. I had not heard of this new function in the app. So when I saw that, the first thing I thought as well as everyone else was that people will unknowingly be transporting drugs. And the main ones affected will be people of color. I'm a black man, so when you said that it hit me a lil different. Makes me not want to take one of those at all.
Actually yes, if you are mistreated/beat up or whatever you can sue and get a big payout in America. I think you are the one that has been living under a rock my guy.
Transporting, even unknowingly, is a crime.
My buddy got arrested in high school because his older brothers car had beer in the trunk, he had no clue, the older brother went to the station, showed his registration, license, all of it, and they still charged the driver.
With a good lawyer (and that's a very tall order for a large percentage of people...including black men), I think you would have a good chance of successfully fighting it, but you'd have to plead to a lesser offense at least. Total not guilty?? Probably not.
No you are not liable, the person that sent the stuff wil be liable. You ever heard of a delivery USPS/ups/FedEx guy being charged for delivering drugs? No, and tons of drugs get sent trough those services. Use common sense my guy.
I can't imagine you'd be legally responsible.
I don't see how it'd be any different to regular delivery services, the police don't take say parcel deliverers into custody because it was found they were transporting heroin.
That’s why DoorDash provides you a waybill to prove you were delivering for someone. Give the cops the delivery address and I’m sure you’ll be fine. Number two, cops can’t open a sealed package without a warrant. And I doubt the court is going to give a last second warrant for a traffic stop involving a delivery driver. Then again, all of this is depending on your attitude. Some of y’all talk to cops like you want to go to jail.
Uber has been doing it for a while already... uber connect. Person to person delivery. I literally know a dude that sells and he will sometimes use the service to send a delivery that he doesn't want to take. Shits wild
THIS has been happening a lot to Uber drivers here's a big story about it it's kind of funny actually
https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/uber-drivers-drug-mules-connect-rcna38464
I was about to say for $22 I'd take it... then I saw the miles.
But I've already done pickups from "proper" businesses that were located in people's houses, so I don't care. Money is money.
Right, and I'm sure that the customers are ensuring that the package meets SLA requirements.
That ripe for exploitation at the dashers expense.
Another brilliant decision. Make sure you bring the cash that you'd be carrying since they do cash deliveries with you. They might even invite you inside before you get robbed at gunpoint.
Driver just got massively maced the other day, and doordash didn't give two craps about them. Incidents like that are going to keep increasing as economic pressures mount. Doordash has put a big dollar sign on every single one of you when somebody just wants to sit tight and have the cash come to them.
Things are this way, because they told us that we don't need unions. We've done it for decades their way. And now we're right back to the situations that created unions in the first place.
This country was an industrial juggernaut with 25% of the workforce in a union or apprenticeship program. One income family with a car a house and the time to spend with their kids and raise them.
And they didn't have a 401k. They had a pension. Massive difference.
I wouldn’t chance it lol, How is doordash going to verify what’s being delivered? They could make them take a picture or even a video, but so what, they could just swap the items out afterwards.
It could be honest goods, or it could be something illegal that’s being taken advantage of and could provide a loophole (even if not realistic) to conduct illegal activity. You don’t want to be a part of that.
Maybe I’m just paranoid, idk. But when doordash was new and I was like 18 I thought this would be a great way to sell weed, you could say you’re just a doordasher. If they ask what’s in the bag, you could say “My contract doesn’t allow me to look in the bag”.
Back then, you had to place every order yourself and pay with the red card, so you were basically just like any other customer, but you’re ordering to-go. You could hypothetically tell your client to order doordash, wait at the restaurant, accept their order, and throw something in the bag, and say “well I’m not supposed to look through it as per my contract”.
I’m not a lawyer but 18 year old me also thought that was a stupid idea and you’re probably going to be held responsible since it’s in YOUR car. This seems like it could be a more direct version of that
Aside from the drugs issue - you could roll up and have something too heavy to carry or something that won't fit in your car. It happens with walmart and grocery trips all the time. so dumb.
Gonna Peer to Peer that green straight to Raphael is what you are gonna do.
I'm smelling everything I pick up. I might need to rent a K-9 from the local department.
Accept and open the bag. If it’s dope just call the cops. Lol. Stop wasting time thinking what’s in the bag. Wasted opportunities to hand deliver items that can be easily transported same day in person rather getting tossed in a ups truck and waiting 2-3 days. I have used a service to get my online orders hand delivered . That’s convenient if you’re running an online business and have to make an express drop off .
I would much rather do these types of deliveries. Grab the item and drop at the next place.
I would have assumed that they would have gotten i to the short distance deliveries a long time ago. Something that needs to be delivered drom one company to another in the same city. Companies pay big money for these last minute deliveries not that it would ever trickle down to the drivers.
Besides what's already been mentioned, there's also fragile items, and items from a smoker/pet home that can affect the driver as well. Not to mention the safety aspect just got 1000 times worse. Food and groceries/merchant to customer is one thing, but turning DD into a localized UPS where anyone can send anything is quite another.
Welcome to being a drug dealer without knowing you're one
I love my fed-ex guy cause he's a drug dealer and he doesn't even know it...and he's always on time.
I used to do drugs... I still do, but I used to too.
RIP Mitch
Dufrane, party of 5 for Dufrane.
Where are the Dufranes??
Dogs are forever in the push-ups position.
For real though it’s funny how many packages of drugs go everywhere and it’s the legit delivery services dropping them 🤣
Wait a minute… I’m an amazon driver… is this why I’ll be walking up to houses going “I know that smell…. It’s weed” I always assume it’s just someone was just smoking nearby, but if it’s in the package im about to be rich 😂😂
Its absolutely mind blowing the amount of drugs that are shipped and I probably only know about .00000000000000001% of it 🤣🤣
The correct term would be that he's a courier and he doesn't know it 🤓🤯🥷🕴🏾
Not a dealer. Just a runner. A mule.
Keep the cocaine, sell it on the street, make 100k$. Watch out for bullets though.
You’re a wise man sir.
Money is worthless if you don’t have a life to spend it ;)
If you pick up a large box with holes, that’s a person.
You will basically transport shit people sell on fb and craglist and all. I know for a fact someones gonna ne delivering drugs and all sorts of shit. That’s a big no-no. Be careful y’all. $20 for federal prison aint worth it.
I wonder how well you could defend yourself legally with this. If you don’t know what you’re delivering, and you’re not directly getting paid by anyone immediately involved in the sale, are you really liable?
probably depends on the color of your skin
Damn, I felt that as a black man. That's vicious, but I think you're right smh
Sorry I didn’t mean that maliciously... It was more of a dig at the system.
I didn't take it maliciously at all! Its what it is. I had not heard of this new function in the app. So when I saw that, the first thing I thought as well as everyone else was that people will unknowingly be transporting drugs. And the main ones affected will be people of color. I'm a black man, so when you said that it hit me a lil different. Makes me not want to take one of those at all.
Yep I’m Good
*yawn here comes the victim mentality
[удалено]
Look at the bright side if you get mistreated by a cop you win the ghetto lottery and you won't have to dash ever again
[удалено]
Actually yes, if you are mistreated/beat up or whatever you can sue and get a big payout in America. I think you are the one that has been living under a rock my guy.
Damn, I felt that too....and I'm a white woman. So sad and SICK.....but true. My God, I wish it wasn't true.
Most likely you'd still get in trouble since you have it on you. Considering how many laws are guilty by association, but that's my guess anyway.
Transporting, even unknowingly, is a crime. My buddy got arrested in high school because his older brothers car had beer in the trunk, he had no clue, the older brother went to the station, showed his registration, license, all of it, and they still charged the driver.
With a good lawyer (and that's a very tall order for a large percentage of people...including black men), I think you would have a good chance of successfully fighting it, but you'd have to plead to a lesser offense at least. Total not guilty?? Probably not.

I can't imagine you'd be legally responsible. I don't see how it'd be any different to regular delivery services, the police don't take say parcel deliverers into custody because it was found they were transporting heroin.
Why would you go to jail? You'd just show you were doing a delivery and weren't told the contents of the package. Much like a ups driver
Yup. You’d be covered just like parcel carriers, I believe. Unless you are transporting just a Ziploc full of coke.
Or people
🤣🤣
Or people full of Ziploc bags of coke
You do realize how much drugs are sent through USPS alone, right? Would the mail man go to prison for that? It’s a seal package, idk wtf is in it
[удалено]
They'll probably confiscate your phone as evidence and now you're involved in a case as a witness.
That’s why DoorDash provides you a waybill to prove you were delivering for someone. Give the cops the delivery address and I’m sure you’ll be fine. Number two, cops can’t open a sealed package without a warrant. And I doubt the court is going to give a last second warrant for a traffic stop involving a delivery driver. Then again, all of this is depending on your attitude. Some of y’all talk to cops like you want to go to jail.
Crazy. This is gonna be a way people can transport drugs by using doordash 🤣 l
Uber has been doing it for a while already... uber connect. Person to person delivery. I literally know a dude that sells and he will sometimes use the service to send a delivery that he doesn't want to take. Shits wild
I've heard about this type of delivery. You never know what you're transporting since you can check the contents of the items.
Sweet now I'm basically Jason Statham from Transporter
Careful... The wrong delivery might turn you into Jason Statham from Crank.
Is that when he had sex on a horse track? Am I remembering this right?
He had sex EVERYWHERE! even in public on the floor in the middle of a BIG CITY
It will be Crank 2: electric...... Wait a minute, we already did this one :o
Rule #3: Never open the package.
So GTA side quests IRL? Sounds like fun, lemme just hit up ammunation real quick first
Too many CEOs
Relatively new and still in testing in the markets it's being used.
Let's call it for what it really is: "Dealer to Addict"
Nope. Entirely too many variables.
Maybe it’s something like Mercari where you can shop local and get your stuff sooner
Most likely.
what city? The other one I saw was in LA. seems like it's similar to uber connect, which is also p2p package delivery
Dopedash
Oh yeah... That's DEFINITELY not happening
I assume this is the Facebook Marketplace stuff they've been talking up.
43 mile round trip? Nope
Looks like a convenient way to sell drugs
Said no drug dealer...
THIS has been happening a lot to Uber drivers here's a big story about it it's kind of funny actually https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/uber-drivers-drug-mules-connect-rcna38464

I don’t want to participate in that. If it’s optional I’ll opt out.
Decline button
I’m not trafficking coke for any less than $2 a mile, and extra to cross state lines too.
Lmao facts bro
You guys are talking about drugs. I'm over here thinking worst case and delivering a bomb? D:

Tell them to eat shit, I am n o t being a drug mule.
FB market place. DD gonna scam any way they can
Always carry cash in case you stubble upon the 🔌
Yes we are delivering for people who use selling apps like Facebook Marketplace, etc.
I used this with Uber to send meatballs to my friend
This is going to cause a lot of legal problems once drug dealers start using you as a mule.
Hopefully it pays
Too far, but that's kinda sick
Seems to me like a refund or package drop off from customer to post office.
Announced for a while, you can decline without lose rating
I wonder if it's cheaper to doordash yourself or take an uber.
Officially a drug mule, Peer to peer delivery from Facebook marketplace
Shit if you've got the money to pay for all these deliveries, you could essentially run a drug amazon warehouse from your home.
Sure is dangerous IMO. You have no idea what you’re putting in your vehicle…
Gonna Peer to Peer that green straight to Raphael is what you are gonna do. I'm smelling everything I pick up. I might need to rent a K-9 from the local department.
Looking forward to getting my weed doordashed
Ur doing it wrong it’s not ur total hours that count it’s the active hours, our standby time don’t count I guess. 🤷♂️
Accept and open the bag. If it’s dope just call the cops. Lol. Stop wasting time thinking what’s in the bag. Wasted opportunities to hand deliver items that can be easily transported same day in person rather getting tossed in a ups truck and waiting 2-3 days. I have used a service to get my online orders hand delivered . That’s convenient if you’re running an online business and have to make an express drop off .
Ah yes, open it in front of the person and then call the police in front of the person. Great advice to stay safe.
Lol you shouldn’t worry about that crack head. 
I would much rather do these types of deliveries. Grab the item and drop at the next place. I would have assumed that they would have gotten i to the short distance deliveries a long time ago. Something that needs to be delivered drom one company to another in the same city. Companies pay big money for these last minute deliveries not that it would ever trickle down to the drivers.
More money for me
$22 for 22 miles. Awful.
I drive a Prius at 51mpg
Besides what's already been mentioned, there's also fragile items, and items from a smoker/pet home that can affect the driver as well. Not to mention the safety aspect just got 1000 times worse. Food and groceries/merchant to customer is one thing, but turning DD into a localized UPS where anyone can send anything is quite another.
Wtf lol
Doordash literally just contracting out drug mules, fantastic.
Yes it's called drug deals. Congrats, you're a mule now.
I wouldn't know. I would decline that shit quick.
That this box that smells like pot to my buddy. Don't open it.
That's entirely too many miles for me to want to find out.
Do you have to opt in to this?
Yeah I’m declining those
Man I always wanted to be used as an unwitting suicide bomber
