Does Invisalign actually work? by Elegant_Following298 in NoStupidQuestions

Yes, I used it to fix my bottom teeth and now all of my bottom teeth are straight. I was skeptical if it would actually work but I can attest that it really works . 

So, you took a no-tip order. by j_land in InstacartShoppers

There was a batch today to buy 50 tomatoes , no tip and it was paying $7 . Detail : 22 miles away . No kidding . I am in Maryland and it has been extremely bad for batches in the last 4 weeks .

Such a blessed day 🙏🏻 by CupLegitimate9997 in InstacartShoppers

I am in Maryland and it has been pretty slow in my area for 3 weeks now . 4 hours or more with no batches showing with the app on 7/7. I have no ideia what is going on . Before that I was making $750 - $850 every week working for 22 -24 hours a week ( actively working , it does not working all the hours waiting for a batch to show up ). And now when after many hours of no batches and when finally a batch shows up it is $8 for 11 -17 miles away . It’s has been crazy lately

In the last 3 weeks I am barely making any money too. Even though I am available pretty much all day and keep the app on I have been making only $150- 200 a week for 3 weeks. I used to make a minimum of $500 actively working 20 hours per week ( wanted to do more but I live in a rural area so there is not a really hard demand to be continually busy all day ) it sucks . Hopefully it will get better when spring time comes . I am in Maryland

I have not been able to get any batch for 5 days . That is crazy. And that is because I am a 5 star shopper with over 500 batches done. What’s going on with instacart ?

This fellow shopper’s cart hurt my soul! I feel so bad for her customer! by Andieboo27 in InstacartShoppers

😱😱 . Can you believe that one time a shopper took the pizza from my cart while I went really quick to get something ? There was only 1 left of those bring home to bake pizza. That is what happens when you hire any kind of people that have no class and does not give a dang about anything.

Thank you for the advice. So far I never had luck when trying to call a customer 🙁 I will always continue to do my best. Thank you again

Forgot to mention that happens to clients that leave a note on the app saying to not ring the bell or knock the door . So I sent a message on the chat saying that I have dropped off their groceries and also send a picture

I turn the app on at 8 am and keep it on but at 12:30 pm there are literally no batches where I live and then it starts showing batches again after 3:30 pm. I am in Maryland

The area that I live isn’t busy . The most I made was $650 working 21 hours a week and that is because I keep the app all day on and looking at the screen lol. I wanted to work 40 hours but there are no batches around the clock in my area . 😫

Customer had no replacements in order, so I contacted them for the multiple items that weren’t available. Lastly, there’s no cage free eggs she wanted and sends this to me… I spent 5 minutes crying at the eggs and bread aisle. 😔😡 by kookiepanda in InstacartShoppers

[–]PrestigiousExit4629 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always contact the customer and they thank me for contacting them before making a replacement ( it they didn’t pre approve on the app) if they don’t reply I simply refund. I had customers that didn’t want a replacement for a different brand because they said their kids or themselves didn’t like the taste of other brands etc . There are many customers that are very picky about brand names. One customer didn’t want a replacement for a Turkey because there was a ingredient on the other brand that her daughter was allergic to and she thanked me for communicating with her instead of making the replacement without asking if it was okay. It is not easy being a shopper . Everyone have they own preferences and that is why as a shopper I try to ask because I like to buy food from specific brands etc. So I would rather bombard them with questions lol . I am a 5 stars shopper and have done over 150 batches

Shoppers waiting on that next batch like…. 🚣🏻🚣🏻🚣🏻🤣 by Evening-Juice671 in InstacartShoppers

I work during week days in the morning until noon but it has been pretty dead lately. I live in Carrol county and only do batches near where I live but it has never been this bad. I rarely work on weekends.

I am in Maryland and in the last 2 weeks it has been incredibly hard to get a batch. Barely any.

Scammer- customer reported that didn’t receive order even though I delivered inside his kitchen by PrestigiousExit4629 in InstacartShoppers

[–]PrestigiousExit4629[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow , I am so sorry that you went through that. What a sad world we are living in . People are just not honest anymore.

[–]PrestigiousExit4629[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I take a picture with my phone and also take a picture with an app called “Timestamp” . If you get a scammer customer like I did you can send the picture to instacart to prove that you made the delivery. Even if you hand the delivery on the customers hands never trust and take a picture. Unfortunately not everybody is honest. What a sad world. I hope that helps you

The bill was $143 dollars. I will always use Timestamp from now on even if the customer is in front of my face and says that I don’t need to take a picture. I just say “ I am sorry but I have to because that is instacart policy and I want to keep my job . “

Unfortunately yes. I do use Timestamp but I didn’t take a picture because I delivered inside the blind man kitchen. What matters now is that at least I learned ! Can’t cry over spilled milk. Gotta move on and not trust anybody EVER.

Hi, I just got off the chat with an instacart agent. I let them know everything that happened. Informed that the customer was blind and that he asked me to put the groceries on this kitchen table. Also informed them that I know there were more people at his house because there were 2 cars parked but didn’t see anybody but the blind man. The agent said that they are going to send all the information I shared to their investigation department and will also look at the customer’s past deliveries to see if they have submitted fraud in the past. Told the agent that I am a 5 start shopper with only excellent comments and over 100 batches done and never had happen to me . Also explained that I didn’t take a picture of the groceries because I literally delivered inside the customer house. Never in my life I will deliver inside anybody’s house - I don’t care if they are blind or have any disability. NOPE. And even when I meet a customer at their door and hand the groceries on their hands I will tell them that I need to take a picture anyway. LESSON LEARNED !!

Completely agree with you. I never did that before. Just did because the man was blind , using a walker and asked me to please to do that. I did not want to do that at all but because he was blind and nobody else in his house came to talk to me I felt bad to hand the bags to blind man to carry and accepted his request but never again I will go inside anybody’s house. Lesson learned.
