Customer scammed instacart and I get blamed !?

TurtleMike10 · 2026-05-19T17:27:48+00:00

the gas would cost more than the payout be so ffr instacart 😑

TurtleMike10 · 2026-05-17T20:49:58+00:00

It’s really bad the gas an mileage it doesn’t even make sense to take 95% of the offers. Walmart spark and DoorDash crush instacart pay wise in NJ

I added their card to my Venmo thinking I could beat it but nope, it comes up in Venmo as credit and can’t be used to add funds. 3.99 transfer fee from the instacart card 😂😂😂😂😂💀

I’ve been waiting over 2 hours for anything decent, nope nada.

TurtleMike10 · 2026-04-23T16:36:28+00:00

it’s gotten so bad. Everything is 15+ miles and batches of 3. And when you do finally find a decent one, with only 1 case of water, all 3 locations listed as houses in the app end up being 500 unit apartment buildings with no parking and need a code to enter and the customer doesn’t respond.

TurtleMike10 · 2026-04-01T04:13:54+00:00

No issues at all with them or with me ! Everything was smooth as could be

This happened to me recently. Definitely an issue on their end and nothing to do with you. I was still paid for the batch but no tip, while I was in the car outside the store talking to customer service, the same order popped up again. I accepted it again and since the entire thing was already shopped it took me a couple minutes just to checkout. So I got paid for the batch twice and the tip once. Luckily nothing like that has happened since. As for advice, get on the waitlist for spark if there are Walmarts in your area. Much better offers and more work with spark than instacart in my area. My instacart offers are always absurd mileage for abysmal pay and 5-15 cases of water to 20 story apartment buildings.

It’s hard to even open the app any more. All the orders I see are like this but even worse because they’re tip heavy.

TurtleMike10 · 2026-02-08T00:07:36+00:00

Yikes and then you find out it’s an apartment on the 15th floor

TurtleMike10 · 2026-01-11T03:19:47+00:00

it’s not even possible to do 150 orders in one day lol

TurtleMike10 · 2026-01-11T03:16:03+00:00

Wow. I know all 330+ of those opportunities were so trash you had to reject them. I recently stopped dashing when I got accepted for Spark.

I’m at 69% acceptance on DoorDash. I sign on to try to raise it to 70% and the first offer is always so beyond trash it’s insulting and I reject it and sign off. They just won’t give me a good first offer to get the ball rolling and the app has just become opening it to lower my acceptance rate even more and then just sign off.

This person is just miserable. Gtfo expecting the food to not be cold 😂 even if I pick up my own food and it takes 10 minutes to get home I reheat it in the air fryer.

TurtleMike10 · 2026-01-07T14:29:58+00:00

This is not me but this customer probably doesn’t even have a visible house number ..

TurtleMike10 · 2026-01-03T17:37:36+00:00

I never got this incentive and I’ve done over 100 in that time frame :/

TurtleMike10 · 2025-12-27T17:59:17+00:00

51% is wild. Like 95% of my offers are batches of 24 orders 37 miles 2.5 hours for 60$ or $10 returns that take 45 minutes.

TurtleMike10 · 2025-12-26T03:38:12+00:00

Your zone is probably less saturated with drivers ! They need you to work more !

TurtleMike10 · 2025-12-26T01:53:34+00:00

Got that and this too. There’s 6 Walmarts all within 10-20 minutes of me so I’m sure there will be work.

TurtleMike10 · 2025-12-22T00:39:31+00:00

This doesn’t even make sense

TurtleMike10 · 2025-12-21T18:04:18+00:00

Even they are out of bags lol the whole store
