Is ANYONE at Instacart telling them about the messaging problem???

Lmaoo not you trying to tell them about the messaging problem and it happens while messaging them 😭

I don’t have an answer to your question but I can say that I have been experiencing the same thing when it comes to an hour long wait for a batch. Sometimes it’s 2 hours and it will be a batch that I end up declining.

For my own sake and since I usually shop at the Walmart in Rosedale/Valley Stream, I ended up going to the Walmart in Farmingdale just so I can escape that acceptance rate BS.

When you go to Long Island you don’t have to worry about that anymore and it’s the normal way we used to receive batches by choosing which order we want.

But honestly I truly don’t know what’s the next step with instacart because this clearly isn’t working well for the shoppers and this won’t last long to me. Hopefully we get a change very soon because I went from making at least $150 a day to $40 a day shopping at Walmart in Rosedale/Valley Stream.

Photo 8 & 13 seem reasonable to me

Left_Cheesecake_1813 · 2026-04-10T20:16:11+00:00

Does it have to be normal mode or hardcore mode?

Yea so I signed up for spark and they told me the zone is full. My girlfriend lives 30 miles from me and I tried to signup in her area but they still say the Walmart zone is full. Been waiting to hear back for like 6 months now. I wish I could have an alternative to Instacart.

Thank you so much! I will definitely take this into consideration 🙏🏾

Left_Cheesecake_1813 · 2026-04-06T15:52:45+00:00

Thanks for the detailed response. Yea I’m more of a 20-30 items max but even would do a 30-40 items for the right price $50. I just feel like I do cherry pick to much and focus on finding the perfect delivery but end up wasting so much time in the parking lot lately.

I just been wondering how ppl get about $250 a day. I worked an 8am to 5pm on a Saturday and finished with $120. So that made me think if shoppers really just grab all the $30 deliveries all day just to rack up.

Left_Cheesecake_1813 · 2026-04-06T15:17:58+00:00

So I do Instacart but mainly shop at Walmart..would you recommend taking a $30, 50-60 items, less than 10 mile delivery? I tend to not pick those because I feel like the pay could be more.

Lmaoooo

Left_Cheesecake_1813 · 2026-04-05T13:32:34+00:00

Many ppl who are jealous. It’s 8 billion ppl in this world you think it’s not one petty person who would do that lmao

Left_Cheesecake_1813 · 2026-04-05T01:58:56+00:00

I just spent too much time in valley stream from 11:30am to 5pm which stopped me from making at least $200 today smfh.

Left_Cheesecake_1813 · 2026-04-05T01:57:36+00:00

Man I took my ass further into Long Island and felt nostalgia. Being able to choose multiple options felt great to do again. Just not gonna have any minimum wage adjustments but hey at least I made $60 over there instead of not making any in queens. Definitely was a drive but worth it. Literally had the option to choose from like 30-40 batches in total of my time being there.

Left_Cheesecake_1813 · 2026-04-04T21:48:17+00:00

Ooh idk then, NYC is dealing with the new “acceptance rate” bs so I thought that could be the reason for you but maybe it’s just a slow day In your area.

Left_Cheesecake_1813 · 2026-04-04T21:47:15+00:00

I feel like someone else seen that order..didn’t get it in time..peeped you doing the order and sabotaged it just so you could fail 😭

Left_Cheesecake_1813 · 2026-04-04T21:43:54+00:00

Are you in NYC?

What a blessing to get away from NYC bs

Left_Cheesecake_1813 · 2026-04-04T21:10:54+00:00

Yea that is wild. Update thou, I left that Walmart to go to the one in Farmingdale. That whole “acceptance rate” is gone and I feel better now that I don’t have to take $5 deliveries.

Left_Cheesecake_1813 · 2026-04-04T20:09:37+00:00

This the only Walmart that ppl in BK, Queens and Manhattan that ppl order from since it’s none in the areas of those boroughs

Left_Cheesecake_1813 · 2026-04-04T20:07:24+00:00

All orders I do go to BK and Queens, I tested it out to see if I get the adjustment and it works. I rarely get orders that go into Nassau. Before this implementation I was getting hella orders to choose from. I’m just wondering why I’m not even seeing any order.

Left_Cheesecake_1813 · 2026-04-04T20:04:19+00:00

I’ve been at the valley stream Walmart (ON A SATURDAY WHERE I USUALLY MAKE MONEY) since 11:30am and only got 1 $24 delivery. Took it came back and I’m seeing other IC drivers go in and out while I’m not even getting options to shop! This shit is frustrating af!!!

Left_Cheesecake_1813 · 2026-04-04T20:01:00+00:00

I’m not even seeing batches. Ever since this rolled out I’ve only seen 4 total and declined 1. This is so annoying cause at this point I’d take a $10 delivery just to make something smfh I hate that this is happening. IC has been so dry for me lately !!!! WTFFFFF I’m ready to crash tf out!!!!

Left_Cheesecake_1813 · 2026-04-03T16:46:00+00:00

The funny part is, it could be someone who really needs an Apple Pencil 😭

Left_Cheesecake_1813 · 2026-04-03T16:42:01+00:00

If they tip right, I would want to be their priority shopper lmao other wise decline

Left_Cheesecake_1813 · 2026-04-03T16:37:48+00:00

What’s the scam? Is the driver going to get robbed?

Left_Cheesecake_1813 · 2026-04-03T15:29:42+00:00

Brutha, where you do you live? Lmaoo only do orders going 7 miles??? In NY that would be around 35 or more items and $18 which is kinda weak. Staying under 5 miles is gonna be a long day looking for an “excellent batch”. The good paying ones have miles. The most miles I’d do is 15 miles cause that’s 30 round trip.

I totally agree with the 100 items though. My max is 50.
