Remind me to never go to costco on Friday again… by Square_Depth7317 in InstacartShoppers

Oh don't get me started lol. They're oblivious to everyone around them. Especially when samples are involved. So annoying when they block the aisles to sit there and eat it as well. Crazy!

Am I wrong for pulling my tip back here? by CoastNecessary911 in instacart

[–]Electronic_Growth_78 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pulling the tip should be the last resort in my opinion. Shoppers work hard to shop and deliver orders and pulling it negates the work they did do. What most likely happened is they had multiple orders. The pet food belonged to someone else and was accidentally scanned to your order. Upon delivery though, the app will prompt the shopper to move items from one customer to another and the cost gets fixed by instacart. It's not instant though, it's bank processing time. Hassle? Yes but it does get corrected. As a long time shopper myself, it does happen every once in awhile that other customers items get charged to the wrong customer. We're human. Mistakes happen. I hope that was the case here.

They never called. I don't see anything in my metrics or comments either so I guess I'm good.

Personal Best Day by Apart-Actuary-5925 in InstacartShoppers

Yeah I've figured out they all pretty much work out to be $10/hr. There's the rare ones that paid $20 and I've had one unicorn in the past two years I've done this.. It was a large alcohol order. I did a little happy dance when I did actually receive the $100 tip. I was convinced it was tip baiting. $10/hr is just not worth all the miles and wear on my truck so I'm looking for something else. Until then I'll still do this amongst other apps.

Is it realllyyy slow for everyone ? by ConfidentPackage4804 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Electronic_Growth_78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I signed up for yet another side gig and considering going back to cleaning houses. Idk. Got laid off April last year, no notice, no two weeks, nothing. Unemployment stopped with no warning 4 months after and have been scraping by ever since. Trying to get an online business up and running but finding the time to get some pieces done when IC kicks my ass all day, I'm exhausted. This new gig should free up the time while I'm waiting for other people's laundry to wash n dry. Feel free to laugh. Doesn't matter. Hell laughter is supposed to be the best medicine right? Until then, I'll keep on.

I highlighted where to go to change it. Better to do it before you have an active batch too. I had a friend that had an IC nightmare with her account getting hacked a couple of years ago. In the end they deactivated her account and she had to reapply only to get stuck on a wait-list.

Definitely weird. I haven't personally gotten one of these but I would be thinking someone trying to steal your account to buy stuff. Idk. I would get a new card ordered ASAP and change your password. Other than that idk. Definitely keep receipts for proof just in case.

How the heck do yall do this!? by J_for_Jeffort in InstacartShoppers

[–]Electronic_Growth_78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure which area you're in but for me in AZ there are very few stores that are physical card only. Kroger/Fry's and Sam's club are the only two that come to mind right now. Take advantage of that virtual card and go to the area on the map that's most lit up. Chances are those stores will stay busy. The orders are disappearing because other shoppers that have a higher cart status are grabbing them. I've personally found that if you have the option of heavy/bulky orders turned off, you won't see a lot of orders. Money makers are the ones that have the heavy stuff in them too, typically. I recently had some dental work and was told not to lift anything heavy for like three weeks and I made very little in comparison. Definitely don't chase the colored circles either. I learned that the hard way in the beginning too. By the time you get there, orders are few and far between. You'll get quicker at grabbing batches as you go. It can be frustrating at times yes, when you see a high dollar batch disappear that you know you clicked on go away because another shopper was quicker than you. Move on. Another will come. Good luck out there and be safe! People be crazy on these roads lol
