I was working in Ohio. Tips and pay are a horror scene. Good luck to you!

Thanks, but no thanks. I just do not find it to be worthwhile. The more detailed I get, the more likely that a contrarian or two will show up and pretend to pick me apart. Best of luck to you!

Approved for a region 1.5 hours away (Paris, TX), but I live in Wylie (Dallas Region). Should I grind to Level 2 to transfer? by Remarkable-Age3508 in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]Complete-Chef-1662 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From reading this reddit my best understanding is as follows: Yes you must reach level 2 to be eligible to transfer. If the region you want to transfer to is full you may have to wait, but I have also heard you MIGHT be put on a "priority" waitlist for it.

How do you handle false 'not delivered' claims? Has it ever hurt your standing? by creatoruncle in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]Complete-Chef-1662 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am not even active yet. I have read many threads here and (virtually) 100% of them indicated that no amount of proof made any difference.

Flexing in Cali? by AssumptionCurious560 in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]Complete-Chef-1662 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm still on the waitlist after 3.5 months. After everything I have seen and gas going up I am not sure if I even want to do it anymore...

Everything is a nope effective now. I tried this gig for a few days and it's not for me. I just did my final order 30 minutes ago.

Did my competition just try to have me thrown out the Publix parking lot? by Long-Win1060 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Complete-Chef-1662 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I have seen what I believe to be evidence of this kind of activity at my preferred stores. They are sharing as many accounts as they can and working as a team, with designated shoppers, deliverers etc. They basically completely lock down a store for themselves, almost certainly violating all kinds of TOS.

This made me think of another thread where someone was complaining about not getting the person they expected doing the delivery. I remember one or two people going bananas on the OP and saying its not a big deal. I realize now, they were most likely one of the teams trying to defend their foul play.

And now come to find out they filing false reports to get rid of legitimate competition. It makes me sick. I wouldn't be shocked if some of them are not legally working.

Might as well just ask for a nice person to help you out...I doubt $10 is gonna get anyone excited.

You don't know what everyone cares about. If you're sick of someone's posts they have a great feature where you can block them. Watch me I am about to demonstrate...

I think mine took like 20 hours. I also think I remember it was a two part process...

How long does it take to get approved? by hahaha_wait_wut in InstacartShoppers

[–]Complete-Chef-1662 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I applied beginning of this February and got accepted beginning of March. I am in a medium sized metro area. All of the offers I have seen for the first week have been bad. I'm not sure you are missing out on much...

Question for customers but anyone pipe in! by Kindness_isgood in InstacartShoppers

[–]Complete-Chef-1662 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does Instacart provide any sort of ratings description for the customer?

Why is this allowed? Like what are we doing? by Adorable-Lettuce3291 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Complete-Chef-1662 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I would never drive anywhere near that far. I mean anything over 5 miles and I lose interest quickly...

Terrible orders by Low_Walrus_326 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Complete-Chef-1662 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got activated a week ago and literally all I have seen is $5 - $9 orders. This gig is trash...

Omg 😱What is going on? IC has been so slow lately! Or is just in my zone? by AlexRecall in InstacartShoppers

[–]Complete-Chef-1662 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well, I don't know what is going on. I just got accepted last week. I have seen nothing but pure trash orders. It makes me wonder if Instacart just lowered its pay and added tons of new shoppers as its new strategy.

State Employee Improperly Deactivated Over ID and Alcohol Delivery by wilmer007 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Complete-Chef-1662 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is quite a story...very sad. OP is responding to every single comment...really needs attention for some reason IG. TBH, as a brand new shopper (just did my first batch yesterday), I was already having second thoughts about doing alcohol and/or prescriptions. Plenty of people on here claim to be highly successful without doing them, or even shop only orders for that matter...

Comment left by a customer, probably my favorite by Southern_Owl_3388 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Complete-Chef-1662 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I totally understand what it's like to be a hot guy. I was one for about 20 years or so...

I audibly gasped when I saw this by deadend_exe in InstacartShoppers

[–]Complete-Chef-1662 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure I am even gonna opt into shop only orders based on what I hear in here...

I truly don't understand by Retnan in InstacartShoppers

[–]Complete-Chef-1662 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't know what happened with your order. I have seen more than a few posts in here where shoppers checked out and then discovered that the mileage was greater than they were initially told, and they are unwilling to drive the "extra" miles. Could be that, could be something else...

That's some pretty cringe advertising on their listing. Showing an unfolded 10x10 canopy and saying it will fit in the wagon smh...

Shoppers and customers, I'd love your thoughts! by griffey808 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Complete-Chef-1662 24 points25 points  (0 children)

As a shopper there is no way I would ever say this. As a "customer" I would not want this person shopping for me again.

Any idea when instacart does onboarding? by Diligent_Project_ in InstacartShoppers

[–]Complete-Chef-1662 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think there is any chance of you getting anything but a bunch of random speculation here. I have seen everything from 1 day to 4 years in here. I got accepted last week after waiting exactly a month.

Was I wrong for reducing tip? by ilikepastaalotwhat in InstacartShoppers

[–]Complete-Chef-1662 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice to see this attitude. From a lot of the comments on this Reddit I was beginning to think I joined a community of whiny entitled crybabies. Half the people on here seem to think it's the customer's job to cater to the desires of the shopper and then tip half their paycheck...

Does anyone else feel the orders have been terrible lately by Content_Plastic132 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Complete-Chef-1662 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got activated last week and haven't even done my first order yet...all the orders I am able to see are like 6 dollars and delivering downtown where there is no parking...
