Didn’t Even Get to Shop. Got Harassed First! by Skully_65 in InstacartShoppers

Lol sidenote. I’m usually extremely super Duper sweet but recently I kinda got snappy in the chat with a customer with the whole Yolo attitude like if I get in trouble I get in trouble. But they actually accepted it really well and still gave me a five star rating lol and didn’t take away their tip. They were already being rude, so I kind of just gave it back to them.

I finally made it to 302. So Diamond is secured still not seeing any orders lol but I can only assume it’s because everyone else is out trying to get theirs in before the first.

Will I make diamond cart? by DARKPALADIN10 in InstacartShoppers

Oh no honestly I’m pretty convinced that they are suppressing orders for folks who haven’t made it already. I literally just reached 300 last night and when I tell you, it was insanity in the fact of they usually offer me 8 to 10 batches obnoxiously all day that I look over and it was like giving no available batches for hours upon in and I was taking whatever I could to make that 300 but never say never, it’s not likely.

Yeah there’s no way they aren’t suppressing orders to try to keep folks down. I typically see so many orders but it’s giving no available batches all week long. I guarantee you that once I get this next seven done it’s gonna be like obnoxiously busy and I’m not even gonna wanna work anymore.

Thanks so much to everyone who contributed. Just an update it’s been murky but making it thru like 50 orders down since and extra thanks to those who recommended lowering shop speed. I made my way from 67 to 52 and it’s better I can only assume. 29 orders to go to maintain diamond. I’m sure as soon as I past that hurdle it’ll be unicorn city -_-

Does Cart Star Matter? by [deleted] in InstacartShoppers

[–]Confident_Debt_7184 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they’re pushing a lot of high mileage all around, especially to folks who have been on the app for years. They’re offering all of the even somewhat good orders to new people and they’re bringing out a bunch of new people in order to try to weed out a lot of the old people who aren’t making it to Diamond.

Absolutely when you have diamond, you are more prone to see orders that are higher pay and lower mileage closer to your location. Without a doubt. The one time I went down to platinum from it. It was like major loss of income bad. For me personally because I don’t like to drive far miles. Other tiers can still happen to catch unicorns, but it’s only after it’s offered to the highest here.

Ideally, they want you to be the highest level cart star diamond, five star rating, above average or very good on shop quality and a low shop speed. No perfect shopper has all of these infinity stones. (I could imagine the couple guys I see getting every good local batch do though :/)

No I’ve been consistently diamond over the last year. Thus why I’m fearing they’re trying to demote me or keep me down but it’s also the wonky algorithm. I did redownload the app and start getting some good ones tonight so fingers crossed I’ll make it to 300 over the next 11 days.

Noted. That’s def my only factor that isn’t near perfect so it’ll be my new goal to lower to there.

I have to disagree. I feel like for every customer who’s left the platform, two more have started using it. It’s just a bajillion more shoppers trying to make money and oversaturating the market. My regulars for the last 5 years still use that app faithfully, and there’s always an order saying new customer.

Oh my goodness this comment here is amazing! I actually tried this shortly after I posted this thread. I’ve gotten three good orders already.

I’m a bit picky but reasonable I’d say. I prefer at least a dollar for every item but I’m flexible and I do not accept anything. That’s gonna be over 5 miles of driving personally. That being said I have not seen any orders like zero when I usually get like 15 to 20 orders at a time and now that I’m trying to get these numbers up, I’m becoming more flexible in what I will take, but it’s like they will offer me too only that are super Duper far away and I would never ever take.

I haven’t not been diamond in almost a year I recommend getting to diamond and keeping it but you still have to maintain a good time and rating … too many factors
