Spark Driver
Reviews and Complaints

Spark/Walmart is allowing drivers to use bots, multiple phones to deliver orders. They’re illegal immigrants with no driver license or identification. There’s a guy who picks up the groceries and load them into different cars with drivers. He hands them 2 phones and places each order with different drivers. He bragged about making $400 per driver, per day. We complained to Walmart/Spark and they said we know it’s going on but we’re not going to fix it. I guess when a customer gets raped or killed they’ll do something. Because you have no idea who’s coming to your home.

I was deactivated on August 17th 2023 due to a background check that was reported in ERROR. The charge has been removed by Checkr, they have confirmed with me that they have provided Spark with the correct information on 2 separate occasions. I appealed this but have been denied with no explanation as to why. The charge that caused my account to be deactivated was reported in error. Everything else that stands on my background was disclosed when i started back in October of 2022. There had been no other changes except what was reported in error. Over 1 month later and I am still deactivated. It's been more than 10 business days and no reply from my latest appeal. Gig worker beware! Spark does not care about their driver. There is no one you can get assistance from in anyway. We are disposable to Spark.

Like other Drivers I was Deactivated on 9/5 for no reason, So I called support and started the process, I was told 7 to 10 days for a reply, I sent them an updated proof of insurance, driving record and vehicle registration all in good standing .no contact as of yet (2 weeks later) . My metrics looks good so if im going to reprimanded on something tell the person what it is so it can be rectified

Hello, [Redacted] is a driver and he travels from [Redacted] and he's very rude and also his been sexual harassment other workers and other drivers This is unfair to us for this man to be still driving for you guys and I know you do not tolerate this type of stuff. Telling the workers if you get my order I'll treat you to a hotel room. Asking us to come set in his truck Other workers are going to write to you guys now

9th Place.

Wrong address.

My products got refunded that needed refrigerated.

This service hires people who cannot understand, read, or speak English.

I don't receive my groceries.

Walmart will continue to lose money.

These deliveries will continue to get reported. I hope they get fired.

My case is a terrible mistake.

At this time, I have my driver's license suspended because no had the right insurance at time of an accident occurred on11/26/2021.Also, the judgment ordered paid losses and others fee in 21days beginning 08/28/2023.The situation is Why Spark approved me work as delivery driver without right insurance?

Please I need help Iam a single mother I am a good citizen with my driver record clean until this terrible mistake occurred. Spark need to resolve this situation as soon as possible.

Spark deactivated me for no reason I filed a appeal3 times I have called almost every day . I even spoke to a supervisor and they still can't tell me why I was deactivated. The day I was deactivated I was having app issues and I explained that to them but no one can tell me why I was deactivated. I want to get reactivated. I loved to spark and I could make extra money to feed my family . I think they are just heartless and don't care

Hi. I recently applied for employment as a spark delivery driver for Walmart. I got denied because of 2 accident reports that showed up in my license when they did the background check. Both I was found not at fault and the other driver paid. I drive a lot as an instacart driver and last year (2022) one driver ran a stop sign and another rear ended me when I wasn't even moving. CLEARLY I was not at fault and the police agreed and both drivers took full responsibility of their actions. HOWEVER now I got denied from Spark because of these 2 reports! I tried explaining it to them over the phone. I got an email stating the same..that they won't hire me because of those 2 accidents. I kept these emails for proof. This is incredibly unfair and discrimatory. This is America. How is this possible? Please help me get justice and make employers be fair.

Thank you!

Sincerely

Marian...

Thanks!

I got deactivated from spark around or about the 29 of august. I’ve been doing this for about 9 months. This is my everyday job that I depend on to pay my bills. I’m single mother with two kids. I got no explanation as to why I was deactivated. To my knowledge I did nothing wrong. It’s so unfair that we get treated like we don’t work hard and don’t deserve an explanation. I’d like to be reactivated so I can get back to work. I’ve email driver support ,driver notices ,and driver Walmart I’ve got no response.

William out of grand rapids didn't follow directions I was supposed to sign for my order he just left it outside and then send me an email about how difficult my order was and demanded a tip I let him know I paid with a food card and had no way of paying for a tip he still insisted I pay him a tip this made me feel as though I was a bother to the sparks team as I have no money living in a hotel very disappointed

My name is

I can not get an answer or satisfaction when I call the support line. It's the same answer each time..( Their working on it)..My husband was approved and working in 2 weeks...my son in 1 week...what is the issue here!

Please help

The negation of responsibility or ownership is definitely a drawback when you add an independent contractor are injured on the job. To say that we knew this going into the role is very demeaning from people who have not been injured and didn’t face severe repercussions because they were out of income and can’t pay their bills. I pray it doesn’t happen to you.

Walmart Spark delivery driver app recently did an update on their application that forces driver's to verify themselves by scanning their drivers license and facial Recognition but here's the catch they are more than aware the state of Florida is where most of all the fraud is happening within their platform and Walmart Spark Purposely left Florida out of this new implementation. So yes you heard right Walmart Spark delivery driver's in Florida are 99% percent are all unidentifiable unauthorized individuals using pirated fraudulent accounts and bots to cheat the system.

On August 9th, I accepted a batch order for $44.77. I was paid $31.72. I'm being told that the missing $13.05 was a customer tip (for a batch order?) and that I accepted the order for $31.72. I did not. I accepted the order for $44.77 and the order was completed at $44.77. I have the screen shot. I have filed several complaints, and keep getting the same answer - that I accepted the order for $31.72. I did not. I would like this looked into in more detail.

I have been delivering for Spark since november 22 and have always kept good metrics. On july 1 23 I was deactivated after a costomer complaint. The customer was on the porch when I arrived and I asked her if she was expecting a package and she said yes. So I proceeded to take the package to her and she was gone. Well this is not a good neighborhood so I went to open the door as it was an appartment building and I wanted to put it in the hallway as to prevent it from being stolen. When I could nto open the door I set it down on the porch whe she started to screaming foul names at me saying she would have my job. Spark deactivated my account that day. I did nothing to this person but I had no say. Still not able to deliver 8/14.23 Metrics at 100 percent on time arrival 0 percent dropped trips 84 accepted offers 4.8 customer rating 96 percent itoms found.

The drive called me and stated that my address took her to Brookshire Brothers in Diboll. When my address is entered in the GPS it does NOT take you to Brookshire Brothers. I have the driver specific directions. Then I received a text message that my item was delivered to BIG convenience store. I attempted to call the drive and the driver would not answer. I went to the convenience store and they told me there was nothing delivered to their store for me. I would like something to be done about this drivers poor performance. Her number is [protected]

As a spark driver I am working for more than one and a half year.Few months ago everything was ok in my zone ie Gainesville, Florida.I mostly work in the store #1081.Here drivers are using multiple accounts which are not in their name.They are using other’s people identity for deliveries.It is completely illegal.They using Bots too to get good offers.I talked to spark customer service 3-4 weeks ago but still it is same.Nothing has changed.And this is affecting other drivers.There are 6-7 drivers who are using fake accounts.

I hope Spark will address this problem as soon as possible.
