Looking for another app to add to your side hustle arsenal? Check out Bungii, a delivery app that is flexible and seems to pay well. Keep in mind that success on these apps depends on location and proximity to other gig-workers.
1. What is Bungii, and why consider it?
- On‑demand delivery for big items
Bungii matches people who need bulky or heavy stuff moved, like furniture, appliances, or even pallets, with drivers who have trucks, vans, or SUVs. - Strong earning potential
Pros report earnings of around $45/hour, with same‑day pay. - Amazing flexibility
You choose when to work and which jobs to accept, so it fits around life, not the other way around. - Fast approval process
If you meet basic requirements, truck (model 2000 or newer), ability to lift about 125 lb, age 21+, clean driving record, insurance, you can usually get approved in about an hour.
2. What Bungii drivers say (from Reddit)
- “Poorly run, underpaid”
One former driver in Denver shared: “They charge minimum $150 to the client … payout $47 or less to the drivers.” - Mixed experiences, not all doom and gloom
Another user disagreed, claiming up to $72/hour in earnings and noting mileage could be deducted on taxes.
Bottom line: Real earnings vary based on location, job load, and how you track costs like gas, time, and wear-and-tear. Always factor those in.
3. Pros & cons at a glance
| Pros | Cons / Cautions |
|---|---|
| High potential pay (~$45/hr) | App issues reported, bugs, notification spam, etc. |
| Super flexible schedule | Some drivers report low payouts after costs |
| Quick onboarding | Some say client pay vs. driver payout feels unfair |
| Same-day payment | Reports of poor support and account deactivations |
| Uses existing vehicle | Must handle heavy lifting (up to 125 lb) |
4. Should you go for it?
Yes, if:
- You already own a qualifying vehicle in good shape.
- You’re looking for flexible, active work.
- You want fast pay and can manage real, out-of-pocket costs smartly.
Maybe not, if:
- You’re unsure about tracking miles, gas, or maintenance costs.
- You’ve heard of buggy apps or poor support and want something rock-solid.
- You’d rather a more predictable, structured gig.
5. Tips to get the most from Bungii
- Track your actual costs carefully
Use a mileage tracker and record gas and maintenance. That’s how you find out if what looks like $45/hr is really worth it. - Vet the app in your area first
Try some runs, compare client rates versus your payout, and see how the app behaves. - Keep expectations realistic
Pay can range widely. Don’t count on a flat hourly average, know your burn rate. - Maintain professionalism
Be punctual, handle items carefully, and communicate clearly. Great service can lead to better job options. - Prepare physically
Be able to lift ~125 lb safely, use straps and blankets, and work efficiently.
Bottom line
Bungii can be a smart side hustle: especially if you’re looking to cash in on your truck’s capabilities and want flexible, same-day pay. But watch your numbers and manage your expectations. It’s not a guaranteed jackpot, but for the right person, it can definitely help pad the wallet. Like most apps, Bungii isn’t perfect and your experience will vary depending on location.
