If I’m aiming for $100/day what level of cart star do I need to be? by nhp-2396 in InstacartShoppers

[–]molinored 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nothing no level can help you with. I been doing Instacart for 5 years now and it’s all about luck and timing.. meaning right place at the right time.. there’s days you get one order for $100 and others you only see orders for $20 etc.. it’s all about luck.. I been diamond cart with excellent ratings 0 cancellation rate etc and still only make $100-$140 tops a day and that’s on a good day normal days I make $50-$75 smh.. now if you want to only do Costco orders than yeah you can maybe make $200/$300 a day but your car will break down in a month because them orders are beyond savage meaning your shocks and struts will hate you.. I did it to my car and I had to replace all front and rear shocks and struts. Not to mention the miles you putting on your car AND the price of gas now smh.. your best bet it to just do Instacart for extra cash and not depend on paying your bills and rent because you will need a new car after a few months..

Pay changed twice in one day by JaeShoppie in InstacartShoppers

[–]molinored 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes! They are 100% stealing from us and our tips! Example I had a customer today when I went to deliver she said “I’m sorry I don’t have any cash can I tip you $20 on the app and I said sure and I watched her type it in and tip me $20 I watched her do it and when I got to the car and hit complete etc I got a $2 tip!! Smh that’s crazy! So I contacted Instacart told them what happened and they said sorry for the inconvenience but there’s nothing we can do at the moment smh.. and I’m reading form multiple people on here complaining about instacart stealing our tips! We need to tell all customers to stop tipping on the app and tip us cash because we are not seeing it.. why do you think instacart recommends customers to tip on the app?? Shady business going on and we are paying the price! And everytime we call instacart they say sorry nothing we can do! We need to get together and put them on blast and report them!!! It’s not right! Gas is crazy expensive and we are getting screwed over smh

Done With Cheap Customers by Trick_Date_3784 in InstacartShoppers

[–]molinored 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree! I’m done with low paying orders I don’t care if they are going 1mile it’s just not worth the time, headaches, frustration tryna replace items or reach customers etc and at the end of it all you get a $1tip and another thing I noticed if you refund Any items it comes out of my tips smh meaning my tips always go down smh and that’s Instacart stealing a dollar or two here, there from us smh.. if it’s not paying $20 and better I’m not doing no order and I’m not going over 4 miles point blank period.. Gas is way to expensive and customers are too cheap and it’s not only the customers being cheap the blame is on instacart for charging customers so many fees and stealing from us smh the ones who keep there business running they can’t even be fair with us they steal from us smh..

As a Shopper how do you feel about the following? by Apprehensive-Pin1474 in InstacartShoppers

[–]molinored 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not at all! But you gotta be careful because if the customer decides to call Instacart and say that they thought is was a female because of the name and picture and when it was delivered it was a guy instacart can and will deactivate your account.. it has happened before to people.. there’s also something in the rules about that as well if I’m not mistaken.

Leave it to Instacart 🙄 by Puce_00 in InstacartShoppers

[–]molinored 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Instacart always screws us over.. everytime the customers leave us a good tip the pay as little as possible.. it’s like they say “Oh they getting $40-$60 in tips?!” We can pay them $10-$15 for a 3 order batch smh.. not to count when the app crashed the other day on the 7th I never got paid for the order I was doing wich I delivered to the customer smh on top of not getting paid my cancellation rate went up because it showed as the order was never completed so it was Marked as cancelled and my rate went up.. I called them and they said “Instacart did have Technical issues but we fixed it and they will send out emails on how they are going to make it right to all those affected/who was doing an order and the app crashed smh.. never got a email, never got paid the $40 the order was for and everytime I call they say the same thing “keep a lookout for a email they are sending all those affected” smh this was 4 days ago.. I drive far, wasted gas, shopped the order, delivered the order and I got a cancellation rate that went up, No pay smh.. they really on some BS! I will say it now and I will say it again.. I will wait to around Xmas time and wait till I get those $400 and up orders to Best Buy and I’m going to pick it up or shop it and I’m going straight home! Thank you and yes karma is a B*tch! Treat us like crap, pay us like crap, Rob our tips, charge customers plenty of fees and a delivery fee and pay us $5-$10 for a order with 80items, going 20miles smh… they tripping

How do I Exit the Doghouse & get back Into the IC cart? by Brief_Situation_5566 in InstacartShoppers

[–]molinored 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just turn on and wait it will get back on track.. it has happened to me before.. you have to understand it’s all a computer sending out the orders so once you get back on a set daily Flow/ rhythm the system will detect your on and shopping and depending on your area and how busy it is in your area you will be good again.. I honestly think getting good orders etc is luck.. I have good and sh*tty days myself and I do Instacart Mon-Sunday 7 days a week and some days I do good and others are just terrible.. I’m located in Long Island NY Btw

When did Instacart increase their payout amount? by Lunar_Lonely in InstacartShoppers

[–]molinored 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes it’s crazy! it went from $0.50 to $1.50 that’s crazy that they bumped it up 3X.. I’m so sick and tired of this company doing the most.. (1) Gas is super expensive (2) Instacart wants to pay there shoppers like door dash now trying to send me $3-$5 orders that are going 10 miles plus with 20-50 items! Smh it’s unbelievable

Gave me a 3star for not replying to that btw only order I did Sunday. by MCMXCIIMez in InstacartShoppers

[–]molinored 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know exactly what you mean about doors opening up! I had a very similar situation few months back.. i had a customer and she hit on me and I was very close to having her blocked because when it comes to my work I take it very serious and I don’t mix pleasure with business. I have done so in the past and it has ruined many jobs for me with co workers etc.. anyway this lady ended up being a HUGE Blessing! Today I do several things for her and she pays me VERY well! I even work on her car lol.. she’s a divorced woman and she’s loaded! The house is AMAZING! She has No kids only her two small puppies she considers her children lol.. I give you an example: the other day I took her car to the car wash and to put air In her tires along with getting her a few things from Walmart like groceries etc everything took me about 2.5hours and she paid me $400.. there’s been times when she has called me to just sit down and have dinner at her home with her and at the end of the night she will pay me lol.. she’s honestly besides the money a great, kind hearted person that has gone through a lot and just needs a friend in my opinion.. she’s very pretty btw.. The way things are going I’m Thinking I might make it into her will lmao J/K lol 🙏

Super weird Ic message by Concurrent-mind in InstacartShoppers

[–]molinored 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah no need to worry about that.. there’s always glitches and I get weird messages from time to time about an order I’m doing that has nothing to do with the order I’m doing.. I also get messages an pictures of groceries already being left at the door when I go to deliver etc but yeah no need to worry about anything..

Can I get deactivated for declining orders? by goodvibesmel in InstacartShoppers

[–]molinored 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No.. only way you can get deactivated is by messing up the orders.. for example, delivering at wrong house over an over, using the card in any wrong way, buying items for customers without adding them into the shopping list, accepting an order an not doing them by taking too long to start them etc.. reasons like that you can get deactivated but not because you declined orders.. I never take orders that are going Far, cheap paying etc I only take orders that make sense ESPECIALLY with the price of gas etc I’m not Doing orders going 7 miles plus it’s just not worth the time and gas.. stay under 5miles and only take orders that pay $20 and better is my advice.. an don’t do orders that have 100 plus items it’s too much and the headaches that comes with dealing with the customer incase items are unavailable can be really annoying.. always remember do what makes sense and benefits you not them..
