Uber delivery driver claims their day took a strange turn when they realized they were delivering something ‘worth more than most used cars’

These days, you can order almost anything through Uber, be it food, groceries, or even jewelry. Of course, most people likely wouldn’t risk using the service to order something too expensive, just in case it goes missing. Well, apparently one customer was trusting enough (or crazy enough) to order a tennis bracelet worth five figures through Uber.

The story comes from Reddit, on r/UberEatsDrivers, where Uber drivers share stories and advice with other drivers. A poster named “No-Name-9851” claimed they took what they believed was a regular “stacked” delivery, when a driver picks up multiple items for multiple people. The two things they were picking up were jewelry from Jared Jewelers and food from P.F. Chang’s.

According to the OP, they had been sent to the jeweler to pick up a tennis bracelet worth $10,000. While you can certainly order jewelry through Uber, the driver was likely not expecting to be picking up something so expensive, and neither were the staff at Jared Jewelers, as the OP claimed they “spend about 15 minutes trying to figure out the procedure.”

The Uber driver was told to leave the package at the door

The OP claimed that the delivery instructions told them to leave the package at the door: “Yeah… not happening,” they wrote. Instead, the driver called the contact number and was apparently put through to a logistics company in Florida that was able to contact the customer.

Thankfully, the customer was home, and they were able to hand-deliver the precious cargo, which, in the words of the OP, was “worth more than most used cars.”

The OP mused about the ridiculousness of the difference between the two deliveries they had been given, noting how, “One Customer Got Lunch. The Other Got a $10,000 Bracelet,” and calling it “one of the strangest delivery stories I’ve had in a long time.” They also claimed that they were able to deliver the P.F. Chang’s order on time as well.

It’s certainly an interesting story, but others on Reddit accused the OP of leaving out the most important detail: “What was the tip on the bracelet delivery?” Meanwhile, another commenter joked, “And I bet the jewelry customer didn’t tip anywhere close to 10% even. SMH.”

Others were shocked that a PIN code for delivery wasn’t required, especially considering how expensive the item being delivered was. One Redditor claimed they wouldn’t have taken such a high-priced delivery on account of the high level of responsibility but admitted that they would have been tempted by a 15% tip.
