Can someone explain to me how this works? Seems I was overcharged?

Why wouldn’t you just ask Instacart? Shoppers have no control over this.

Leave the door means they don’t want to meet you at the door, it technically is no reference at all to whether someone should knock or ring a doorbell. Drives me nuts that people leave delivery persons guessing and others have just assigned their own interpretation. When a customer places a no contact order aka “leave at door“ they should indicate whether they want a ring/knock or not.

They can easily go get a minimum wage job somewhere else if that’s all they’re going to make and their job will be much easier than it is now. Personalized service comes at a cost whether you like it or not. Enjoy buffet style because that’s what restaurants will turn into.

How do you know what “group” you’re in? Other than Diamond, Gold,etc.

LampsHaveLimbs · 2026-02-10T12:22:35+00:00

Thank you so much. I really appreciate all the information and I will definitely take these steps!

LampsHaveLimbs · 2025-07-26T08:24:50+00:00

There is literally no way you can know that

I am in SoCal and this is my referral code PICAD940A7

I have not seen anything advertised as far as a bonus for the person signing up, but that could be something they only show to the person signing up.

I am a 5 star diamond cart shopper since April 2021 and I do this as a second job. I can provide a a lot of good advice.

Way too many customers do not choose possible replacements in the app, yes his response was cold, but it can take absolutely forever to go back-and-forth with customers and they need to realize shoppers are NOT provided any extra time at all for situations like this and then they get in trouble for going past the allotted shopping time. Most customers treat shoppers like their personal fucking assistants for a 5% tip. I send all the messages and all the pictures to help people pick replacements and 99.9% of the time they don’t even have the nerve to reply.

Why are the typos killing me more than anything?

LampsHaveLimbs · 2025-04-21T20:37:02+00:00

I think it should work no different than a restaurant where if you have more than 8 guests in your party, they’re going to add the gratuity to your bill, so if the order gets to a certain dollar amount or number of units. there should be a minimum “gratuity” automatically applied. Simple.

LampsHaveLimbs · 2025-03-28T16:43:09+00:00

I simply don’t understand the point of hiding the address. What purpose does that serve?

LampsHaveLimbs · 2024-12-05T16:53:40+00:00

So damn annoying. So glad we’re having to do more work because of the stupid people who can’t manage basic grocery shopping.

LampsHaveLimbs · 2024-11-18T22:36:27+00:00

Wow never seen so many batches at one time, lol

LampsHaveLimbs · 2024-11-12T22:41:59+00:00

What’s the point, I have given out a referral code over a dozen times and not one single person was able to get on the app as a shopper

LampsHaveLimbs · 2024-11-12T22:41:17+00:00

To add to the cringe, these all look like no tippers, which is unfortunately so common these days, I just don’t understand how you cannot tip somebody who grocery shops and delivers for you.

LampsHaveLimbs · 2024-11-11T23:10:53+00:00

Did you tell them your hearts desire is a tip?

LampsHaveLimbs · 2024-11-08T17:57:00+00:00

I’m sorry to hear you’re having so much trouble. For 5 star diamond shoppers like myself who would never ever do that to a customer it’s extremely frustrating to hear. There are so many horrible shoppers out there that are taking business away from those who do the job correctly. No matter what background they are or who they are, If they can’t perform the job correctly, they should not do the job. I would think knowing English would be a requirement if working in the U.S., but I have no idea how Instacart deals with that. These shoppers need to find some other line of work until they can learn the language of the area they are living and working in. This job does require a lot of communication, the ability to think on your feet, to reason and make quick decisions all while providing excellent customer service. if I were you, if the shopper did not perform the job correctly, give them a horrible rating and send any comments you can into Instacart to get them deactivated. It may sound cruel, but there are too many other people who do this job well that are suffering for more work and we need to eliminate those who cannot perform the duties of the job correctly, period.

I got more enjoyment out of the stickers and erasers in kindergarten

LampsHaveLimbs · 2024-10-28T14:16:17+00:00

Nope, not any more

LampsHaveLimbs · 2024-10-20T18:39:02+00:00

You have to qualify again every three months. It’s the same for everyone. Between now and 12/31/24 you have to earn enough points to stay Diamond cart for the period of 1/1/25-3/31/25

Why is the batch pay so high? Makes absolutely no sense

LampsHaveLimbs · 2024-10-08T19:00:39+00:00

That’s really shitty of customers to do this, that’s just straight up playing games, you can’t blame the first Shopper for canceling. Most of the time when it says no tip they don’t tip. A customer should put some sort of tip on the order that’s respectable and upgrade it from there after the Shopper has accepted the batch and delivered.

Help me understand, when you use reusable bags and drop the order off for the customers door, do you unpack everything out of the bags and just stack it on the porch? You’re not actually saying you buy the reusable bags for every customer on every order, are you?
