#32I hope added fees on orders won't eat into what people are willing to spend on tips to drivers.
(I found the default fee seemed way too low during Covid, so I'd bump it up, while still penny-pinching to avoid the smaller fee for a more desirable delivery window. When the added delivery fee is unavoidable tacked-on, maybe that will feel more like I'm paying for the delivery, even the driver isn't paid as well as I think they should be.)

I typically find the same items on Taobao and Alibaba for a fraction of the price. I've been returning some items as they accept returns if you "find a better price elsewhere." There were some weenies who said this was abuse of the service, however, the option to return an item because you found a better price elsewhere is literally not a terms of service violation, it is a prefilled option. I have been a member for…
