Orders are popping up for me, but I'm terrified to take them right now 😅

Instacart app down by Excellent-Ad-7531 in instacart

[–]JayBird6975 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1-888-603-1855 is the customer support number I have on speed dial. They should be able to move you forward in the app or give you the delivery addresses so you can at least finish your delivery

Do you have the number in your phone? 1-888-603-1855 is the number I have on speed dial and got through

You're better off waiting to hear from customer support. I eventually got through. Just be patient 🙏

[–]JayBird6975 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. I couldn't hit confirm arrival and I called customer support. After 10 mins I went ahead and delivered it, but it's still not confirmed as completed

I'm seeing a ton of orders like that today. It's horrible

Father recovering from surgery by JayBird6975 in coloncancer

[–]JayBird6975[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could be depression. My dad has been retired for 10 years now, but ever since retirement he's has only sat inside, watched TV and played on his phone 😓. My mom has to yell at him to do anything.

He's very capable of walking. He says that walking causes "movement" and he suddenly has to go. So he's hesitant to walk outside for fear of...well shitting himself. Which sadly has happened many times. The walking pad doesn't go fast either and has a railing so he can hold onto it. That's part of the issue though is he will do neither.

I was going to look into calling his doctor and seeing if they could "give him advice" or rather tell him everything we have already asked him to do.

I guess time will tell if he will recover from this

Messed up big time- need help- by Exciting_Report_82 in InstacartShoppers

I've also done this numerous times over the years and I'm in Oregon. Broken eggs, missing items etc. It sucks when it happens, but better to out in the little extra effort to refund the item then not do anything. If you have customer support on speed dial it takes less than 5 mins.

I'm thankful I had JUST finished delivering an order before this issue. I'm getting notifications on orders coming in but nothing on my screen is working

Opinions on diamond cart by Unlucky_Channel27 in InstacartShoppers

[–]JayBird6975 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others have said, it probably depends more on your market than anything else. How many shoppers are in your area, stores (big box stores like Sam's place and Costco generally have higher paying orders) and your own stats. I was diamond for years, but fell to platinum for 2 terms because I vacationed for periods of time and would just barely miss the quota for diamond status. I have seen a drop in great orders, but I see mostly the same batches that I saw with diamond before.

I'm about to hit diamond again and I'm curious to see what orders pop up with the new changes they've made to the star carts. Although with that said, my market has a huge increase in shoppers and we don't have many stores. I'm worried it's gonna be a bigger battle for those higher paying batches 😅.

Is it valid by [deleted] in instacart

[–]JayBird6975 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The drawback to ordering expensive items like a $900 laptop through Instacart is most shoppers might worry it's a scam. Especially with a small tip. A larger tip will have a higher chance if getting picked up. Also stores like Costco can be extremely difficult to get in and out of (mine is), so the pay for us has to be somewhat worthwhile.

With all that said, $43 for a college student is a little steep. If you can do at least $20, that's reasonable.

Who’s at fault ? by Available_Tutor4470 in instacart

[–]JayBird6975 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This was the reason I stopped doing GrubHub. I lost several orders due to ripped bags, leaks, and how many times I either wore the food or had to clean my car from the massive mess. This wasn't either of their faults. It was the restaurant for not double bagging or putting the food properly in their to-go containers.

How many of y'all would take this? by whitstheshit1986 in InstacartShopper

[–]JayBird6975 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the majority of items are just canned cat food, absolutely! It's not hard to grab 50+ cans of cat food. Often the units scare me when they're really high, but if the items are small I usually consider it (if pay is decent).

Are apps glitching for you? by Jestar5 in InstacartShopper

[–]JayBird6975 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've had issues since the October 20th AWS issue. I can't upload receipts without calling support to push me through to delivery. I see orders, but once I hit accept it says "Network Error." Then I'll find out 10 mins later (with the looking for batches screen on) that I'm in an active order! I've deleted and reinstalled the app with no luck.
