The orders that delivery drivers are reluctant to accept are usually not limited to a single type, but rather involve situations where “the risk, time, and capacity are out of proportion.” Large quantities of beverages, neighborhoods where parking is difficult, long distances, or uncertain wait times can all lead different people to make different trade-offs; this is a matter of professional judgment, not an order that the platform guarantees or refuses to assign.

Before accepting an order, confirm the number of meals, distance, floor notes, and available space in your vehicle. If, after accepting an order, you find that the meals cannot be securely fastened, the address information is inconsistent, or you are feeling unwell, follow the assistance process in the platform app as a priority and keep a record of the necessary details.

Beginners can write down the reasons why they get stuck each time: parking, waiting for food, carrying items, or the route. After keeping track of this for a few weeks, you’ll be better able to determine your own limits for accepting orders than by simply copying someone else’s “list of pitfalls.”
