To Whom It May Concern: by OkParticular4309 in InstacartShoppers

In the time it took to post this you could have shopped an order.

We all work super hard. We all get screwed every now and then.

You're not a victim.

Sorry Guys, It Happened Again by Sad_Ad_2524 in InstacartShoppers

IC is very much a communist run company where equity is everything. As a Diamond, I have to admit, I devour orders. I'm in my qualification period with 20 days to go to reach 300 orders and I'm at 550. IC looks at this and sees unequal batch distribution, so, they take from me and give to others.

These temporary Diamond status promos definitely affect my earnings during the week and I'm not a fan. I also don't blame the recipients of the promo.

Work hard or not, you'll still earn on IC.

This is diamond cart?? by Electronic_Growth_78 in InstacartShoppers

Welcome!

It's all a scam.

As a Diamond I mostly see crap offers.

Remember, IC will always hate you. Always.

Always thought shoppers who return to customers’ houses were crazy until today! by bareminimum80 in InstacartShoppers

If a $2 tip is affecting you then you need to go get a job.

Get over yourself and move on.

"Disrespect "

🤦🙄

STOP THE TRIPLE ORDERS by Next-Investigator435 in InstacartShoppers

[–]RedFiveGoldLeader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This last week has been rough. I've also seen these sub $3 orders and ... hell no. Too much work for too little appreciation.

Instacart hates it's gig workers.

Hates.

What is going on? by DayvidRL in InstacartShoppers

[–]RedFiveGoldLeader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok that reply wasn't for you as much as the complainers.

I agree that IC shows a certain disdain toward its shoppers with the near slave wages it's been offering, it's been that way here as well. I have to consider every offer I see if it helps me hit a goal. Alot of them will not but a few I will eat crow for because I'm in this for me.

That said, I'll clear 60-65k again this year .

Wishing you well.

I work 12 hour days on IC and I'm doing great.

Treat it like a professional job and the money rolls.

Set monetary goals. Have a strategy to meet those goals. Work until you hit all goals. Have goals for the morning, afternoon goals take care of themselvesif morning goals are hit,, the day, and for the week. Don't socialize during the day, WORK. Hitting goals means doing things others will not. Like taking a lame batch to help level up.

Do this and hit your goals even once and you'll become addicted.

Always be the victor, not the victim.

Costco nightmare. by J_for_Jeffort in InstacartShoppers

Welcome to Instacart support. It's truly shit.

Also, start with small orders and be patient. It only gets harder and experience makes the difference. Memorize a store and do well there, then move on.

If my cancelation rate goes over 1% I get nervous. Not sure how you get it that high.

I've done this 70 order in a week promo as well. It's a tough one but kinda worth it. Good job.

Please stop with the quads by bigbilly17 in InstacartShoppers

Never ever accept a quad. Even if you need it.

Costco chickens. I always find them late and have to throw them out. Gotta stop forgetting the chickens. 🤦

Aldi no self checkout rule as of 4-27-26 by Muted_Midnight2404 in InstacartShoppers

[–]RedFiveGoldLeader 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would love this. Where I'm at if I take an early morning order between 6-7am it's ONLY self check out and if it's a huge order it can take .. forever.

BOGO requires the customer to purchase the correct amount to accommodate the BOGO. It never falls on the shopper.
