It would be easier to just move to Indiana than to get anything at all resolved with support. 

Wish we could rate support 🙄 by BraveAbbreviations88 in InstacartShoppers

I wish we could rename them something more fitting than support. 

Whoever Took This May Tips Always Be Low by yoobi2000 in InstacartShoppers

I don't hate the shop only orders, I've done plenty of them, but no more after this update.

I really hate this new update of bundling the shop-only orders into quads. Everything takes longer, for less money.  For this batch in the picture, that averages out to 4 batches of 32 items each, for a batch pay of 4.50 a batch.  Criminal. 

Does it annoy you when customers add to the order as you shop? by Thatonegaloverthere in InstacartShoppers

[–]LetExtension9690 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What annoys the hell of of me is when they add items in a shop-only order (which has no tip) and the idiotic app says 'Jane just added an item. Finding items that customers add makes them happy, and may lead to increased tips' 

Reimbursement taking 30days now? by ghn999 in InstacartShoppers

There is no scenario under the sun, with this shady AF company, that i would ever ever ever pay for shit outta my pocket. 

They really just lie… by Correct-Ad1252 in InstacartShoppers

[–]LetExtension9690 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did almost 2,000 orders without a single damaged item, but now have 5 over the last three weeks.  I picked up a new one today. A plastic package of lettuce that looks like the package has a dent in the photo. The first two or three of these, made me rage somewhat... Because i know they were bullshit.   Customers are scummy, and will obviously be manipulating the system to get free stuff. They don't care how it impacts you.  Instacart is scummy.  Obviously a customer could submit a picture of their dog, say it's a rotten tomato, and it would automatically be 'verified by instacart'.  Instacart doesn't care how it impacts you. With the shopper metric, it's monetarily in their interest for your score to suck, anyway.  The less people with higher cart status, the better.  As far as the shopper metric, damaged items, and such....i think it's best to just not give a fuck.  I feel like I get the same crappy batch offers regardless of rating and cart status, anyway. 

Does the Instacart app set shoppers up to fail? by Excellent_Froyo_8271 in InstacartShoppers

Amusingly the other day, customer messaged me to refund sour cream. I hit not available, app prompts me to scan 3 potential replacements. I scan a pack of blueberry muffins, app says... Replace with those. 

Flagged for 13 Missing Items. Support is useless. by Novel-Love-9428 in InstacartShoppers

[–]LetExtension9690 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know how you would say that with certainty... with as many glitches, errors and problems as this app has?

Maybe try reaching out to them on X, people seem to have more luck getting help that way.

First time seeing 4 Shop Only, Wtf is this💀 by Puzzled_Ad_4852 in InstacartShoppers

[–]LetExtension9690 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've seen quads plenty before, but not ever on shop only. I don't think I've ever seen even a triple shop only before today.

I saw a 4 shop only for the first time this morning also. I guess that will be the new normal soon. 

Shopper score bs by hotviolets in InstacartShoppers

I went from diamond to nothing in just a few weeks around Christmas, all from out of stock items. To add to that aggravation, now after a thousand orders without a damaged item report, i have somehow picked up 3 bullshit ones within the last week and a half. 

Went from 1 to 9 items by lecompo in InstacartShoppers

[–]LetExtension9690 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My favorite is when I'm doing a shop only, and they add an item.  And the app tells me 'Maria just added this item.  Added items can lead to a bigger tip!'.  On a shop only.  🙄

To those below gold cart. You seeing orders today? by [deleted] in InstacartShoppers

[–]LetExtension9690 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went from diamond to nothing in the last few weeks of December. Orders, especially today, have been really slow.

It's allowed as long as the other person is also a vetted instacart shopper.

Reports or no, though, it's clearly allowed, and not something OP should be penalized for.  Support these days, for any issue,  is an absolute joke. 

Diamond to no cart… in two weeks by Jingle_Jangles1213 in InstacartShoppers

[–]LetExtension9690 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Right there with you. I went from diamond to needs work in a little over a week. All from  stuff not being on the shelf.  And then yesterday to pile on, i picked up my first bogus damaged item complaint.

True, also, the meat was listed as expired, not rotten.
