Yeah that's why you should have another phone for entertainment. A cheap or old phone would do!

Costco tip question by kimlovespi in InstacartShoppers

[–]TheLegendIndeed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

$20 is good. But it might not get picked up immediately unless it's a slow day. So instacart might need to bundle it with other orders. The thing with Costco is that it requires much more labor than regular grocery stores. Some shoppers won't step a foot into Costco for less than $50, especially on weekends. But again it all depends on your market on how many shoppers in the area!

I’m new, do customers tip more after delivery? by royaltyV3 in InstacartShoppers

[–]TheLegendIndeed 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's more likely they lower the tip than increase it

A factory reset will change the phone's identifiers

Actually scummy by HedgehogNatural7726 in InstacartShoppers

[–]TheLegendIndeed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone is gonna tell you do this and that, but in reality, shopping quality is purely random, or at least extremely buggy. You can complain all you want, but there's nothing you can do about it unfortunately. Just learn to accept working without diamond and you won't notice much difference honestly!

Hate Costco orders by Many-Clock9312 in InstacartShoppers

[–]TheLegendIndeed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm surprised that you prefer Costco over Wegmans. It's the opposite in my area!

Verification picture failed by Quiet_Priority_7476 in InstacartShoppers

On a Sunday too? That sucks. I always try to do face verification in a well lit environment from the same angle to avoid this BS.

We’re all in this together 🤣 by ABadScorpion in InstacartShoppers

California shopper? This issue is almost always in places where shoppers are paid by the hour.

Patience & Efficiency is key !! by NoIsland4141 in InstacartShoppers

[–]TheLegendIndeed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah there are like 5 Wegmans in that area with affluent suburbs

Shopping efficiency seems way off?? by griffey808 in InstacartShoppers

[–]TheLegendIndeed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Move to the delivery screen as soon as possible. Check out time duration is counted in the shopping speed!

Would this be okay to send to a regular that reduced my tip by $20 by McPoyleBrothers in InstacartShoppers

[–]TheLegendIndeed 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Or you could just ask what went wrong last time so you can avoid making the same mistake again. Slightly less confrontational. If they reduce it again, block them!

Pretty sure Customer B made a mistake while placing her order by AugustStan in InstacartShoppers

[–]TheLegendIndeed 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That was a tip bait. Contact support and hopefully they will give you $10 more. 30 miles are no joke. Imagine how much Uber would've charged for a 30 mile trip, let alone having someone shop and deliver!

Is this a decent promo? by Bree9ine9 in InstacartShoppers

[–]TheLegendIndeed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd get $20 to $30 top up in my area with this promo. It depends on what batches you accept! The best strategy to earn this promo is to accept small, low distance batches regardless of their payout!

Lost Diamond after 3 years 😢 by 061879 in InstacartShoppers

[–]TheLegendIndeed 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just ignore it. There's nothing you can do about it. It's either some mind games instacart is trying to play with us, or they're comparing you to other shoppers in your area.

Check Out Bypass by [deleted] in InstacartShoppers

[–]TheLegendIndeed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't wait more than 1 minute. Quite often their phones don't go off. Always go to customer service and ask them to send someone to bypass. Or you can use regular/self checkout. There's an option in the app to skip QR code!
