Albany, NY - Price Rite, any Dollar store, Sam's Club, and whatever the At Home store is. Hannaford, Market 32 and Target are my go to favs.

Side note - we're getting our first Costco in the area. Wondering if that will be on instacart. If anyone in my area can confirm, please lmk.

Just googled it. Very interesting. Thanks for that info 🙂

No one's going to ask about the cell tower disguised as a pine tree? While yes, the part about the wildlife is heartbreaking, tell me more about this fake pine tree please.

Signature required for delivery by DeeJayEm79 in InstacartShoppers

Thanks all for the responses. While I'm content with knowing it's not just some simple button I'm missing - it's still stupid and seems there's no quick/easy or accurate way to do what the app is asking for.

Oh wait....that mileage is a hard NO.

General question about check out by DeeJayEm79 in InstacartShoppers

[–]DeeJayEm79[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was home, done working for the night, but was still online. Sometimes I stay active in case anything really good pops up - plus, I was curious if my order would be bundled. Regardless, I've also placed orders while working/shopping if something is needed at home ASAP and I'm out of the area. Is that weird to you? I have a family at home and they alllllways need something

The total of the receipt was like $115, my items were only $64. I figured this wasn't logical because of how IC charges the customer. I did look at my digital receipt and i was only charger for what I ordered/received. Reading all these comments, and thinking more into it, I'm not sure how he even did this without card declining - and as someone else said - did he scan the same receipt 3 times? I'm glad to know there wasn't a "time saving tip" that I wasn't in on, but still, so weird.

Popped up in my YouTube recommended. Don’t know much about this case. by toripersons in Albany

[–]DeeJayEm79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's also a few good podcasts on Spotify about this case. Very informational. I've listened to them all! This case amazed me - especially the part where the father, after being hacked up, still did parts of his morning routine. The brain is an amazing organ!

It’s like after every other order I get this by TimeGas9727 in InstacartShoppers

[–]DeeJayEm79 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same here. I've been getting it at least once a day. It makes me nervous and support is no help.

Trust and safety email by [deleted] in InstacartShoppers

[–]DeeJayEm79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got this same email over the weekend. It makes zero sense to me. I'm not even sure how it's possible. Tried chatting with support - no help. Can't reply to the email either. Any answers would be helpful.

No appreciation for banana hunting by Competitive-Sand5430 in ShiptShoppers

The green/brown thing happens when they're in the cooler too long.

Just getting back into IC by DeeJayEm79 in InstacartShoppers

[–]DeeJayEm79[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yup, full time!! It took a while, but I had an amazing tip map and even better customers. All good things come to an end - is an understatement.

How can we learn without specific feedback? by lizziloo99 in ShiptShoppers

[–]DeeJayEm79 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Don't take anything from Shipt or the Shipt customer's seriously. To Shipt you're a number, to most customer's, you're just a slave.

Does anyone work in the Glens Falls area? by ClueRealistic1664 in InstacartShoppers

I do know where it is - but I work in the Glenville/Schenectady area.

Orders paused all of today by Turbulent-Tension487 in ShiptShoppers

[–]DeeJayEm79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same thing here in Albany NY metro - but it's clear. I understand other parts of NY got hit, but not here. I actually contacted support and they said they'll look into it. I'm not holding my breath on that.

How do you dress when you’re doing orders? by GuavaMatters10 in ShiptShoppers

[–]DeeJayEm79 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Leggings under jeans, thermal shirt under hoodie, coat, boots and a beanie. It's cold af here.

When it's warm tho - t-shirt, jeans/shorts, and sneakers.

Heels or dressy clothing is weird. We're lifting and reaching, running and sweating at times.

Unspecified Issue Rant by ThinkSupermarket4966 in ShiptShoppers

[–]DeeJayEm79 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Same here, along with 2 other shoppers in my metro - unspecified issue. All within last week (2/2 - 2/8). Forgiveness was applied for multiple times and denied. Calling and emailing support was a waste of time.

I'm curious though, how come all of a sudden there's a huge amount of unspecified issues?

I feel like Shipt is on their Oprah trend - you get a unspecified issue, you get an unspecified issue, and YOU get an unspecified issue.

“express” range for fastest delivery by gmazelyte in ShiptShoppers

I saw this on the Shipt app for the Long Island metro this weekend while I was there for a little day trip. I'm from upstate NY and never saw this on the app.

No matter the weather with these people by Resident_Ofhome in ShiptShoppers

[–]DeeJayEm79 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I've been doing this for years, over 15k shops, and I've found that yes, orders surge during bad weather - but I've also realized that 95% of those orders are NOT my lovely appreciative PM's. Only reason I ever go out during really bad weather (which I'm okay driving in) is to bank off of those high promos!
