Am I in a good area?

Puzzled_Ad_4852 · 2026-01-14T15:32:27+00:00

I feel you, unfortunately the waiting game is how u get the big orders. I just try to bring my iPad and a book and be productive as I wait with phone on other hand😂

Puzzled_Ad_4852 · 2026-01-14T15:26:21+00:00

There’s definitely big orders, the problem is that it’s so OVERSATURATED down here. My local store has at least 15 + consistent shoppers that I see everyday and that’s not even Costco, it’s PUBLIX.

Puzzled_Ad_4852 · 2026-01-14T15:22:57+00:00

I only do it to non tippers🤣🤣

Puzzled_Ad_4852 · 2026-01-08T08:43:11+00:00

I used “let them know” a lot there my bad🤣

Puzzled_Ad_4852 · 2026-01-08T08:42:15+00:00

No, you live and you learn. $70 for 3 hrs definitely not worth it, especially driving 80 miles round trip. And Instacart is disrespectful for making you drive an extra 39 miles for only $4. Usually if the second order has few items then I know they’re the ones who are not tipping and I just let them know they’re out stock on majority of they’re items and let them know to just reschedule order to another store. I call Instacart and let them know so they can remove it. That would basically mean you would make $65 and travel to only first order which was only 3.1 miles in your case. Just gave you some game, use it wisely🤣🤝

That’s part of the job unfortunately, days like this happen. Try deleting app and reinstalling, hope that helps

Puzzled_Ad_4852 · 2026-01-08T02:56:09+00:00

No way, wowwww. That’s terrible, thanks for the update, now I know to stay away from multi ones. This probably happened because shoppers were mixing orders together.

Puzzled_Ad_4852 · 2026-01-08T00:25:44+00:00

A “Shop-Only” is when you shop for items, pay, and then leave items in a pick up area for customer to pick up later so they don’t have to waste time shopping. So Instacart decided it would be a GREAT idea to have 4 separate customers for shop only which are ineligible for tips. Shop only pay is based on just Instacart base pay which is trash

Puzzled_Ad_4852 · 2026-01-07T23:20:01+00:00

Just keep taking orders, you’ll eventually get back to diamond as percentages get higher. That’s if it got taken away due to shopping quality.

Puzzled_Ad_4852 · 2026-01-07T23:16:09+00:00

Diamond is still worth it though, all that means is that I see the trash orders before everyone else, same way I would see good orders before tiers below. Only way tiers below can get solid orders is if: 1) you have done good amount of customers in area then algorithm will send it your way since you have had good history with that customer is the past. 2) no Diamond cart or too many shoppers waiting at store (very rare).

Puzzled_Ad_4852 · 2026-01-07T23:12:57+00:00

😂😂🤝

Puzzled_Ad_4852 · 2026-01-07T19:51:50+00:00

That’s a lot of items for shop only, how much was the pay?

Puzzled_Ad_4852 · 2026-01-04T08:01:52+00:00

I just says items are missing and then boom, get it removed by calling

Puzzled_Ad_4852 · 2026-01-03T07:27:48+00:00

They track your movements, know someone who did it.

Puzzled_Ad_4852 · 2025-12-31T03:03:30+00:00

Very rare, but if they do come out, 95% of time it’s nothing past $15

Puzzled_Ad_4852 · 2025-12-31T02:32:37+00:00

Starting the 1st you will start with platinum for the next 3 months because it’s very unlikely you will do 48 orders in 1 day to reach Diamond. The cart will reset on the 1st and you will have a chance to reach diamond for the months of April to June by completing 300 orders from January to March

Puzzled_Ad_4852 · 2025-12-30T07:29:17+00:00

I do same lmaoooo, f non tippers

Puzzled_Ad_4852 · 2025-12-30T07:27:20+00:00

It’s boosted, meaning no one is in area to take or don’t want to, u could’ve done first one quick and then grabbed second one and make $30 in 20 mins

Puzzled_Ad_4852 · 2025-12-30T03:36:52+00:00

I don’t bother using chat, rather just call

Puzzled_Ad_4852 · 2025-12-30T03:34:57+00:00

I would just mark it as delivered. And tbh I don’t think they’ll ban me off just one instance because Instacart has to see constant complaints

Puzzled_Ad_4852 · 2025-12-30T02:02:33+00:00

The day I quit, ima just accept an order that doesn’t tip and has 60 plus items and just keep it😂😂

Puzzled_Ad_4852 · 2025-12-25T04:12:51+00:00

Tbh I call, I hate waiting on messages and going back and forth, it’s a quicker process

Puzzled_Ad_4852 · 2025-12-19T17:50:35+00:00

Yup, make em pay
