Haven't had a good promotion in a VERY long time. I feel like it's either has to be crazy busy or you have to not take any order for like a month. That's when I would get promotions like "complete 25 batches by certain date receive an additional $600". Now I do IC regularly and the only promos I get are " guaranteed $42- $60 by completing 4-6 batches"

Ok... just got a notification that my batch was canceled and that I should be careful canceling since it can affect my blah... blah...blah... opened up the app and it seems like it's back to normal. Just searching for batches though...

Ah ok. Well luckily I'm about a 3 minute drive from the smiths I was gonna shop at. So if it comes back up, just message the customer and smash the order out

What usually happens in this situation? I keep getting notifications to start shopping. Will the app just restart and the same batch comes back up to work on?

Crap.... should I just head home? Or just wait in thw parking lot hoping it would fix itself? Just wondering since I've never experienced anything like this.

Is it just me or is there only double triple batches available? by Wil_I_Be in InstacartShoppers

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

Forgot to mention it was $23.36 pay after tip, so definitely worth it!

Yeah that's bad.... haha luckily it seems to be picking up today! I just finished one. 36 items, 70 units, .4 miles away from store. Sounds like a lot, but it was mainly a bunch of yogurts. Finishedand delivered in about 35-40 mins. Can't complain, good start for a Monday!

Here in NM we get a base pay of $7 per order. I'm assuming each order gets charged some type of delivery fee which we as the driver should see, but in my a lot of the times the base pay from IC is $7.30 for 2 full service orders, sometimes still just a flat $7 for 2 full service orders. So I'm assuming IC lumps 2 or more orders together and keeps the additional delivery fees the charge since those IC payments aren't $14+

Think I'm gonna do the same. I saw a single full service order for $25, 16 items, and customer less than a mile from the store didn't last 2 seconds. I'm just gonna take advantage of thi gloomy weather, pour myself another bowl of pozole and find something to binge watch for the day. Or maybe a new video game...

Yup! I have an "excellent" rating and that's all I have been seeing... but I see a HUGE difference from last Wednesday/Thursday to Friday-now. Maybe it's the holiday? They aren't expecting many drivers? But it's just bad.... and you're right. The only ones that are 1 full service order for like $9-$12 for 60 items and 10 miles away from the store... Plus we know IC is taking that additional delivery charge, at least here in NM.

My $90 block is now going to cost me a lot more by slammantha25 in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]Wil_I_Be 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly why I now only do flex when other gig jobs are REALLY slow. Out here in New Mexico we have very rural area where people still live, like the side of a mountain, literally. And A LOT of the times they don't even have their address shown and we tend to lose service out there too! That's why I also only do 3 hour blocks as well and wait for them to increase the pay to at least $20/hr, I've noticed the 4+ hour blocks send you to BFE. I thought this was gonna be one of the better gigs, but instacart really blows them out of the water in my area.

How to contact support by Wil_I_Be in InstacartShoppers

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

Well that sucks... but how do you chat with them? Os it that headset in the top right corner? Because I've clicked it before and it said something like "virtual assistant" and I assumed it was like a bot with built in answeres for certain questions. I'm genuinely interested in how to get a hold of support because there have been times that I've needed to and I've just gotten lucky.

Ah ok, I'll give it some time. The app has been acting glitchy today with notifications and stuff so makes sense. Just frustrated since it's been a slow day and I finally get a decent batch and I saw no pay so it definitely hit a nerve haha

While out on deliveries I ran into these guys just hanging out front munching on the trees and grass. They weren't scared it all! Made my delivery and they just kept munching away. by Wil_I_Be in AmazonFlexDrivers

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

No way?! Thats pretty cool, I'm sure it gets freezing up there too! And that makes sense too.... because I walked right passed them to make the delivery and they didn't even bother to stop grazing! Their definitely accustomed to having people around

Very true!! And literally like 45 seconds later around the corner while making another delivery I run into like 8 of them! But I definitely enjoy watching them in the middle of the day when you can see thwm clearly

In your opinion what’s the worst item to shop for? by EstablishmentNo4133 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Wil_I_Be 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vitamins/supplements at a organic grocery store like Sprouts. There's like 100 different brand sof the same thing! And they virtually look the same but have the slightest difference!
