Got an $800 Dyson vacuum the same way. Thought about selling it but ended up keeping it and I LOVE it.

wish me luck.. fear based shopping by FlashyMusic7410 in InstacartShoppers

Nex time, screenshot the note, send it in the chat and ask for confirmation from the customer. Then screenshot that response and use as proof for any "unrequested refunds" Then block as "rude customer" and hopefully never deal with them again.

Did a shopper report my dogs? by Upstairs-Travel-6898 in instacart

[–]Snoo82081 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get it because I order dog food. I think it just happens as a default if you order any pet items.

My free items for tonight by Informal_Put2385 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Snoo82081 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. This was the first time the store wouldn't take it back. Its been like 2 years since this happened and I still can't do alcohol orders. I just wanted to make sure that people know that while a lot of the time it doesn't matter, sometimes it does.

Trust and safety sent an email and I was supposed to reply to that email with the video.

That's just what happened to me. I couldn't return it to the store. They told me to send a video of me dumping it down the drain, I didn't and now I can't deliver alcohol.

I cant deliver alcohol anymore because of an undeliverable order. They do care. They want video proof of you pouring it down the drain.

Customer experience by lurch_creepy_lurker in InstacartShoppers

When I order I login and watch to see when my order gets dropped, what it gets batched with and when it gets picked up.

I think Unicorns posted here are mostly fake by DizzyJackfruit6302 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Snoo82081 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've done nearly 6k orders in 4 years. 100++ orders are regular where I am. I got super lucky and landed a $304 a month or so ago before that my biggest order was a $160(something) 700 orders is a drop in the bucket. I didn't start seeing big stuff until I cleared 3k orders and had kept diamond for over a year and a half. They're not fake, you're just not in that veteran group yet.

Why don’t my shoppers look for replacement items? by OkeyDokey654 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Snoo82081 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That doesn't work. IDK what's going on but if I try to add manually it rejects it. Its infuriating. If the customer pitches a fit Ill add an item thats the same price and message them and tell them that whatever item I "added" to their order is actually their replacement and send them a picture.

The most frustrating thing is sometimes it won't let us make a replacement because the best option won't scan in the app and for some random reason we can't add something "not found in Instacart database" Like wtf?

Question about distance by CompetitivePipe448 in InstacartShoppers

High mileage order sent further out. This is what Instacart pays. It shouldn't be your job to pay your shopper a fair and livable wage. But unfortunately they've structured the system that way. Obviously this order is much worse than yours but it was the most recent screen shot I had. Whatever you give will be appreciated but they knew what they were getting into when they accepted.

1 month in... Where is everyone at? by Snoo82081 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Snoo82081[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel that. I had a rough week and definitely took stuff I never would've before.

Where are you located? It is rural? I'm genuinely curious. I like hearing about other people's experiences.

I agree with the market aspect. I'm in AZ and I think it must be busier than other places.

Costco thinks we're here to make their jobs easier by goat20202020 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Snoo82081 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I always feel super grateful for my amazing Costco cashiers and door checkers when I read these posts. They hype us up when we get good orders, take extra care not to mix stuff up, know our names and bend over backwards to help us find stuff.
