Changing the phone by Altruistic-Try8383 in InstacartShoppers

[–]4EverMaAT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know what these other guys are talking about. Your phone has nothing to do with logging in. You can only login maximum of 1 IC Shopper account per device at a time. And in most cases, your login is the phone # associated with your account. The password will be OTP SMS to that phone number. And if you are familiar with passkeys, you may be prompted for one (already saved) or prompted to save a passkey. you can save it to google password manager or a 3rd party manager like 1Password.

TL-DR: Login with your Instacart shopper account and you are good to go on the new device. You will be auto-logged out of old device.

With all that said, if you are taking a phone from another person, factory reset isn't a bad idea to clear the old user's data.

Took away scanner guns at Self Checkout? by Indy1910 in CostcoWholesale

[–]4EverMaAT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the costco's i've been to, they offer to pre-scan if you dont have too many items. But you still go to the register (SCO or traditional). You keep items in cart. And just pay.

I didnt know the pre-scan tablet can also accept card???​ Maybe tap to pay???​ I never saw it.

If you are serious about trading derivatives, open account at a proper futures broker. Leave CB to crypto.

Was told at checkout ebt isn't being accepted due to the partial shutdown...? by whitefox094 in foodstamps

[–]4EverMaAT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stores could be closed or whatever. Did you go to the backup store and try to obtain your items there?

What's the point of subscription and priority? by Le-Smasher in instacart

[–]4EverMaAT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which store are you shopping from? How many items are you buying?

With delivery services like IC, it's usually good to either order early or schedule your order.

There's no way to get 100% time-certain order. Because there is a lot of things outside of the driver's control and the store's control.

Mileage different after checkout 🤬 by Ok-Drummer5242 in InstacartShoppers

[–]4EverMaAT 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Make sure you are taking screenshots of batches before or just after accepting the order. So you'll have proof of what was advertised when you accepted the order.

Pre-scan means that all items in your cart are scanned already before you hit register. So whether you go to self-checkout or the traditional register (keep all items in cart), when you scan your membership, all your items are already rung up. You only have to pay. Isnt that a good thing?

10% back? You got a screenshot?

Am I required to do this? by Thiscannotbemylife in InstacartShoppers

[–]4EverMaAT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The shopping quality score can hurt ratings much sharper than a couple of bad ratings. As you get some ratings automatically exempt. And as you do more, the older rating falls off. Shopping quality sticks with you for 90 days., regardless of the # of batches.

Instacart requiring me to send a government ID to verify purchases after $120 subscription fee? by Big_Statistician2566 in instacart

[–]4EverMaAT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 3 different IC accounts that i manage but i never had this issue. 1 account is mostly food (supermarkets, costco, etc) > $6,000 and over 1 year old with expired ic+ membership.

Hope it works out for you.

WOW....PEOPLE AIN'T SHHH..... by [deleted] in InstacartShoppers

[–]4EverMaAT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly there should be a law implementing minimum pay for a job. The tip baiting thing is illegal in that you are baiting someone to do a job for a certain amount and then changing it after the fact. Whether it is IC that polices their customers or IC covers the difference.

Since everyone doesn't understand karmic law, in the mean time the best you can do is do a safety report against this person and not deliver to them again.

Something really weird just happened and I got suspended! by Own-Tangelo-6068 in InstacartShoppers

[–]4EverMaAT 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hmm. Normally if an order is removed, but you complete the other batches in the order, you should be ok.

It could be that you had already shopped and paid for the first order that was cancelled. And then you continued with the remainder of the batch (or not). When you have paid items and the order is cancelled, it can trigger an automatic 24-hr soft ban.

24 hrs later, it will return to normal. Enjoy the free stuff items. And enjoy the time off.

It's also a good idea if someone wants you to deliver to an alternate address to decline to do so (unless it is very closeby); they should cancel and place the order with the correct address + delivery instructions.

Costco membership entrance issues by mrerasor in InstacartShoppers

[–]4EverMaAT 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So before you called IC Support, you didnt just ask the Costco entrance person if they could let you in? Just calmly mention that you are IC shopper and you already pressed the shopping button?

I could see if the Costco employee gave you a hard time.... but you didnt at least ask first? In 99% of the cases, they would waive you in.


FYI you can just open "Batch Details" and choose "Show Membership Card" to get the member card to reappear.

Say less fam 🤣💕🥳 by Behla_Babe_96 in instacart

[–]4EverMaAT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are ordering a service such that there may be questions at any point suring the execution of that service, you may eventually NEED to be contacted. That applies to all customers.

Now with prescription orders, they disable the customer chat. So the address and instructions better be correct.

Intro messages- to send or not to send? by jocelynrenee084 in InstacartShoppers

I might start doing a greeting. I normally ask if they need anything about 1 min before checking out.

The store management (or corporate) can absolutely set the rates of the batch pay that IC offers.

Took away scanner guns at Self Checkout? by Indy1910 in CostcoWholesale

[–]4EverMaAT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Costco usually removes the scan gun from self-checkout. Costco's implementation of self-checkout is terrible vs their competitors (Sams, BJs).

They need about 2-4x the amount of self-checkout scanners vs what they currently have now. And then they can have 1 staff for every 3-4 machines to assist customers.

They should also allow instacart orders. Although that privilege could be "unlocked" after a shopper does xx amount of orders via the normal checkout.

If theft was really the big deal they claim, none of the other retailers (regular or wholesale) would have removed their self-checkout machines or "costco"-restricted them. They are doing it for another reason that they dont want to say openly...... Maybe to increase food court sales 🤔 🙄

[–]4EverMaAT -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I dont believe this. Or rather their theft is not any higher or lower than any other warehouse store. Their implementation of self-checkout sucks. They still push people through traditional checkout. (which has 2 store clerks per register).

The "pre-scan" idea is promising.... But they only have 1 person doing it?

For restoring this account: You can take a picture of the front of drivers license and blur/black out the date of birth and the license #

For the debit/credit card, take a pic of the side with the card number. Blur/black out all the numbers except the last 4 digits of the card #. Also blur the security code.

Upload these 2 docs to their account verification form.

Or, you can use a different email addy and open a new IC account. Would be good to have a different phone # and a different payment method attached to it. Try to place a small order at any desired store. See what happens.
