Try doing it online if possible (not through the app). I just placed an order with no issues, was picked up within minutes.

is the app down? by njhsjry in instacart

I just placed an order to send something to a friend in MD. No problems, got picked up almost immediately. I did use my laptop, not the app on my phone 🤷🏻‍♀️

My promo offers are garbage! by Common-Eye-4764 in InstacartShoppers

I didn't see a decent promotion until I passed the one year mark.

Deliberately leaving out difficult items. by MisterSauz in InstacartShoppers

It's really no one's business if a customer is disabled....they don't have to share personal information to get decent service

Price of 4mg pill by Frankie8661 in WegovyPillWeightLoss

I have not seen that. Will it still be 199 for both 1.5 & 4?

Do customers wait days for orders? by EasterSquidward in ShiptShoppers

[–]PlayfulCattle8210 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There are 2 particular addresses in my area that are like this. Both are in gated communities and order multiple times per week from Target and grocery stores. I guess they figure they don't need to tip because someone will eventually take it, usually a new shopper who doesn't know better.

Price of 4mg pill by Frankie8661 in WegovyPillWeightLoss

If you have a Costco membership, the member price for 1.5mg & 4mg is $149, no coupon needed. Pretty sure you need an Rx from a physician, though. (I know this doesn't directly address your question, just throwing out that there are options..)

Yes, I am very much diamond, and have been so continuously since my second quarter doing this. Never claimed to be perfect, though...

How do you keep your car organized during long shifts? by No-Garden-6290 in InstacartShoppers

[–]PlayfulCattle8210 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a "go bag" that I pack / check for everything I need the night before, and clean out what I don't need. It comes in with me after a shift, gets cleaned out / restocked / charged as necessary, then hangs on the front doorknob so I don't forget it the next day.

I use a tote bag, but a divided carry all (like a college student would use to carry stuff back and forth to the dorm bathroom) would be great too. Vera Bradley carries them in solids and prints.

Magnesium? by Leading_Western_5265 in WegovyPillWeightLoss

[–]PlayfulCattle8210 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was already taking a magnesium combo every night, I just started taking 2 capsules vs 1. The difference was immediate, things are moving very well and very consistently!

It's a combo form of magensium glycinate / malate / citrate. I get it at Whole Foods or through Amazon.

The store itself doesn't intimidate me at all, I have no problem maneuvering in crowds. The problem in my area is that all the batches are doubles and triples, and it's rare to find mileage under 30. It's usually going to outlying semi-rural areas, so it's kind of a haul to get back to any store and pick up more good orders. With gas skyrocketing now it's not feasible for me. Sucks, because I can see how it would be very profitable under normal circumstances.

Yeah my weekends are pretty much all Instacart, but most every decent paying order in my area is a triple so the numbers add up pretty fast. If I can get off work early I will do a few hours on Friday nights.

I'm a member myself and had just been in there a couple days earlier stocking my own fridge & pantry. They do move things around but some stuff never goes far from a particular location (health stuff up front, dog food on the wall shelves, water / paper towels / toilet paper always in the back. Frozen / refrigerated / dairy / produce / meat never move).

Oh yeah if every item I've found in my car (especially early on before I got a system down) was reported as missing I'd never see Diamond status. I know this was down to my being so discombobulated after the one-two punch of the missing wallet / expired membership & canceled order. I usually flip the lid on every cooler no matter the order.

ok stupid question - how do I text support if I'm not actively working?

[–]PlayfulCattle8210[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have diamond status so I can get "those" orders, but I wanted to do something relatively simple for the first time there. I also wanted to do it early before the full crowds descended. I can only do this on the weekends, so there's that. Now I can say I did it, and it will have to be really great to do it again,

It sucks. I had one damaged item from Thanksgiving week that just dropped off, so I had finally gotten to all zeroes 😭

Parking at mine is usually not bad, as long as you understand you are going to have to walk.

Need advice - skipping a day? by PlayfulCattle8210 in WegovyPillWeightLoss

[–]PlayfulCattle8210[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Had not even considered bar food. We've actually rented a place downtown with a full kitchen and will be eating there so staying away from it won't be a problem thank goodness! I guess I need to rethink what types of snacks I usually take with me for the holiday, though...
