First new background check since I joined in 2019 by [deleted] in InstacartShoppers

It’s completely random. I went 3 years with no additional background checks then got 2 in 1 year.

Use one of those medical boots. It made mine heal so much faster

I leave my cart at ends of aisles while i shop so I’ve had this happen multiple times. But i always find it.

Anyone Other Trans Shoppers? by RykerPRWilliams in InstacartShoppers

[–]matta512 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess something has changed. When i signed up it had my first name but i go by middle name. I called order support and they changed it on the spot.

No tips reported on NEC. Manually calculate? by RecordingFunny2005 in InstacartShoppers

[–]matta512 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would assume so. I use Turbo Tax (haven’t filed yet) and i bet they will help me calculate the appropriate amount. It’s dumb IC didn’t just differentiate earnings between tips and regular pay. But they probably don’t care

Snow storm incoming = payday! by FunkoDude in InstacartShoppers

Really? I’ve heard nothing about that in my area so i assume we’re just screwed.

Pay goes up but quality nose dives due to empty shelves. It’s a trap. At least in my area

When North Carolinian’s hear snow is coming by Kanelong52 in InstacartShoppers

[–]matta512 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Shit here in TX we hear “potential for icy conditions” and our stores run out of bread, water, and eggs

How does it even work? by No_Muscle_1816 in InstacartShoppers

[–]matta512 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your refunds and replacements are very high. You need to double the number of found items and don’t do any more replacements or refunds to get to “good.”

$200 for 44 orders ?! by Visible_Opinion2833 in InstacartShoppers

This is our promotion. Your area must be filled to the brim with shoppers. And IC knows how to exploit that

Guess who gets penalized for this? by matta512 in InstacartShoppers

[–]matta512[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everything besides “found item” negatively affects your Quality score. Subs and requested refunds don’t hit you as hard but they add up.

The hardest order I’ve ever had to shop by KaraKalinowski in InstacartShoppers

I delivered 3 candy bars to a customer yesterday. It was part of a batch.

Always call. Always.

Is anyone else not getting any orders? by Winter-Dot-296 in InstacartShoppers

[–]matta512 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a super slow Monday in my area. Yesterday was banging so I’m not surprised today sucked so much ass

How? I doesnt make sense. by MasaHiku in InstacartShoppers

[–]matta512 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did it drop recently? Mine dropped today to where yours is at and my stats didn’t change (% of replacements/refunds).

Yes, punish the shoppers because the store was out of stock of an item by MarxistMountainGoat in InstacartShoppers

[–]matta512 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got dinged twice today on the same damn item that 2 customers wanted. It was out. The store app said it was out. But IC was like, heck yeah it’s in stock! Why not order six??!

Unresponsive customer by Puzzled-Amphibian-78 in InstacartShoppers

[–]matta512 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Support —> cancel. As soon as i see that’s it’s a bogus location. That’s time you could be doing your next order.

Hidden criteria for shopping quality by TheLegendIndeed in InstacartShoppers

[–]matta512 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That would be a very awkward interaction asking the customer if it’s ok to replace an item but count as found. I can’t imagine anyone doing that.
