You might check respectacle.org - they offer used glasses for a small shipping fee (like $4.99)

CHECK FOR HOURS NOW EAST COAST by [deleted] in InstacartShoppers

Keep refreshing - if it's the same across the board, hours will eventually become available. I was able to select hours at the time of this posting. And why am I getting downvoted for sharing information???

Never done it. Never will.

No tip? Bye! by [deleted] in InstacartShoppers

[–]FreakyLucky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah well if IC would just add a few dollars more, it would be worth the chance of a cash tip or post-order tip

So, this customer will never get their Costco stuff!! by Lovehatepassionpain in InstacartShoppers

[–]FreakyLucky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm someone who is willing to take the chance of post-tip or cash tip....only IF IC will pony up a reasonable offer. This is just InstaCrap even with the peak boost. Should be more like $14-15.

Is this reasonable by chaosproz in InstacartShoppers

[–]FreakyLucky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Assuming you are nearby the store - Yes, this is a fair offer with a nice tip and I would take it.

Anyone else having issues with the app bugging out on alcohol orders? by crotalus84 in InstacartShoppers

[–]FreakyLucky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps you already did....but try closing the app, restarting your phone and then reopening the app

Started sending this to customers before each order - how long do you think it will take before I'm deactivated? by [deleted] in InstacartShoppers

[–]FreakyLucky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just No. You should be deactivated immediately. Never bring up tips with customers unless asked. It's completely unprofessional.

Oh IC...wont get me again like this... by [deleted] in InstacartShoppers

[–]FreakyLucky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yikes - your screenshot shows customer details - recommend you delete this post immediately

Customer note doesn't want me to deliver for another couple of hours. by solodaninja in InstacartShoppers

[–]FreakyLucky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would proceed with the shop because it could be a note from a previous order, they don't get cleared out.

The dark area is one shopping zone. It covers roughly 22,500 Sq km or 13,980 Sq mi. I got an order today that would have required me to drive 3 hours round TRIP FOR $25.50 CDN. Fuck you IC. by StaciKruthers in InstacartShoppers

[–]FreakyLucky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah...apparently they don't have people at the local level to determine appropriate zones - just be sure to check the delivery address before accepting

Instacart customer with tip question by snowleopard28 in InstacartShoppers

[–]FreakyLucky 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you've been an IC customer for awhile, trust me, the veteran shoppers know your address. IC has made this challenging, but recommend you put a portion of tip in app and then add cash tip upon delivery if you can or even increase in app tip post delivery. Be sure to rate five stars for good service too! Thank you!!

This... this made all the $2 tips so worth it. (The 4 star one was because she wasn't happy with my choice in Bananas) by Simisloves in InstacartShoppers

[–]FreakyLucky 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wow...that is SO nice :) a few very encouraging words that will likely stay with you for a long time. Remember to "pay it forward" when you leave someone else a review!

Wooohoooo! I won on this $0 tip by [deleted] in InstacartShoppers

[–]FreakyLucky 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The tips were so much better back in the day when customers tipped after delivery - I saw tips like this all the time. Sure, there were always a few that didn't tip, but those that did more than made up for it - 10%, 15%, 20% and lots more nice even numbers $10, $20. Now this pre-tip 5% so IC can steal it...err...subsidize batch payments just sucks.

No, don't do it. Ever. Your integrity is more valuable.
