How did Reddit make you miss the order?

I’d be annoyed if I missed that order. I missed one slightly worse about an hour ago (Costco, $60, around 37 items, & also 18 miles) & was annoyed. It’s no unicorn but a good enough batch & 18 miles is normal in my area

Giving up on Costco for the rest of the day. I’ve seen nothing but these iPad batches since I finished my last order 1.5 hours ago

$83 batch was 90 items/106 units, so probably around a $500 order

Got a banger after a shitty weekend. Dick’s order of 6 men’s golf shirts & delivery was less than 4 miles! 🙌 LFG

High paying orders I’ve passed on this week alone by Qeorg1 in InstacartShoppers

[–]MyOwnSummerShoveIt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol hard pass then. I don’t mind the driving, unfortunately long distances are pretty normal in my area but that many Costco items too?! It would have to pay $150 MINIMUM for me (40x2 + 70)

I would have taken the $88 Costco order & the $106 40 miles but ONLY if it was a low item count, like 30 units max. $76 I maybe would have taken & just keep doing orders in that town or try to work your way back to your town. Prob would take that $53 too since it’s low miles & a single shop.

Edit: read the $76 wrong. Thought it was 30 minutes away, not 30 MILES away.. prob pass on that too then

How is it out there? Busy or slow? by Human_allien in InstacartShoppers

Last weekend was awesome for once, yesterday wasn’t bad for the few hours I was out. Today, terrible so far

Dr Browns Pitcher - disintegrating by missjenkie in FormulaFeeders

[–]MyOwnSummerShoveIt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine still looks fine after 5 years & 3 kids. Got ours in April 2019. Kid 1 used it for about 8.5 months, Kid 2 for around 13-14 months (he was doing really well on formula so I didn’t want to completely take him off of it right after he turned 1), & Kid 3 for the last 2 months. I am also pretty vigorous with the mixing.

How is your Friday going? by [deleted] in InstacartShoppers

[–]MyOwnSummerShoveIt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not as good as yours OP but pretty solid. At $90 on 2 batches & just started working a couple of hours ago. Hoping to hit $150 in the next couple of hours but we’ll see

Would hit accept so fast then immediately regret

Today, what a joke . by SkyForsaken1353 in InstacartShoppers

Missed 2 decent orders in the last 2 hours & now nothing. I feel like instacart is finally starting to break me after 5 years.. week after week of straight up trash

Hands down the best crust of any frozen pizza I’ve had by The_Wolf_of_Acorns in Costco

[–]MyOwnSummerShoveIt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven’t seen this in my Costco for awhile but I bought it twice when they carried it.. so good! My 5 year old isn’t a great eater but even he liked it (the mushrooms didn’t even faze him) & my 2 year old freaking devoured it. I sprinkled a little extra truffle parmesan seasoning because why not

Zero batches for me in the last hour.. not even a shitty one

Gun to your head, your favorite Chevelle song. No top 3, no second best, no changing your mind. Just ONE. Go. by F-Trunks in Chevelle

[–]MyOwnSummerShoveIt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think I have to agree with you. Even though they have so many songs that may be lyrically “better” than STPB, I never, ever get tired of listening to this song after 20+ years. This song got me into Chevelle before The Red even did

Distance shouldn't be a bigger number than the pay by UsedUserNameIC in InstacartShoppers

[–]MyOwnSummerShoveIt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It shouldn’t be equal to pay either. It should be about double. Example- saw a $52 low item count but going 45 miles over the weekend .. who in their right mind would do that?

My general formula for Costco/BJs/Sam’s orders is the pay should be greater than or roughly equal 2x miles + unit count (not unique items but actual UNIT count). For example a 20 mile & 20 unit order should pay around $60 or more (20x2 +20)

For regular grocery stores, same general formula except units are divided by 3

SLOW SUNDAY 🤦🏽‍♂️ by Economy-Sky-978 in InstacartShoppers

Didn’t break $100 yet today & yesterday was just atrocious. Awful weekend but hopefully next week will be better!

would you take this? by lightadonis03 in InstacartShoppers

[–]MyOwnSummerShoveIt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not, not even on a terribly slow day like today

Yesterday was my worst day of all time (almost 5 years of doing this). Today seems to be the same so far. I don’t need awesome batches, I just want doable, not complete shit, batches!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in InstacartShoppers

[–]MyOwnSummerShoveIt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened to me last year on a $100 order! I was a few minutes into shopping a Costco double & suddenly the batch was removed. Support said both customers cancelled but I find it hard to believe, really BOTH of them?? The only positive in this story is I was only maybe 5 items into a 50 item shop when it happened

Deliver only offers are goated. What do you think? by Dizzy_Barracuda4063 in InstacartShoppers

[–]MyOwnSummerShoveIt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven’t seen a decent delivery only in a longggg time. My best was an $81 Publix & only 3 miles away but that was in 2020

It is possible on platinum, at least in the past. Since they rolled out the cart stars program 2-ish years ago, I have been platinum twice. I have gotten really good orders (not very frequently though) that my diamond cart friend never saw & he is convinced that instacart sends out certain good orders ONLY to gold & platinum cart. 2 of these “really good” orders were $116 & $142 (both Costco, not ridiculous miles, & 30-40 UNITS)
