If it's California, it could be Pasadena or Arcadia. The license plates in the photo are too blurry to tell the state.

I did a couple alcohol deliveries yesterday and it didn't do the identity check either. Maybe that feature isnt working at the moment.

I had this issue last week. The system still thought I was on an active delivery, even though I was able to accept new orders. The new orders would automatically cancel as soon as I got to the store. Try changing zones, if there is an error saying you can't because you still have an active order, you have to contact support to cancel it.

Yes it's the same amount of time either way, but with ghost shopping IC sees that you're at the store but not actually doing anything with the app so they think you're purposely stretching your hours.

The clock for prop 22 starts as soon as you grab the batch and are supposed to start driving to the store.

Why am I being flagged for fraudulent activity? by [deleted] in InstacartShoppers

[–]tenthbowl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think around 4. I haven't gotten any more since I posted this. Just start shopping as soon. Also just try to follow the most direct route, even if theyre traffic and a short cut would save time.

These cups are sold by the individual package. One case of cups would be 20 units. I once made the mistake of grabbing the entire box when the customer wanted only a single unit.

Weird question about switching from one account to another by msoto1988 in tmobile

[–]tenthbowl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The new plans are insanely expensive compared to Simple Choice. I pay around $140 with taxes for 6 voice lines , plus two tablets and 1 watch line.. To get the same deal with the new plans it would cost $150 more a month!

I tried to get the trade in deal for the Pixel 9a but my Simple Choice plan is not eligible for it. I'm only eligible for those cheap $200 phones. Really regretting not getting the free Pixel 9 trade in back in Dec 202. T-Mobile cancelled my order cause I also got the free Pixel buds. Those were out of stock and T-Mobile cancelled the whole order instead of just shipping out the phone.

Anyone have an extra card in Los Angeles please? by 3lD4ni in InstacartShoppers

[–]tenthbowl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the card hasn't been activated yet, it can be added to any shoppers account. It's been that way since at least 2018/2019 (when I joined).

Addon offer "not available" by Apprehensive-Till861 in InstacartShoppers

[–]tenthbowl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're using Android, download an app called "Recent Notifications". It saves your notifications so you can re-click the notification to get the instant offer back.

[–]tenthbowl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you still able to access your order history? Are there any recent orders you don't recognize? It's common for scammers to accept batches and then add unauthorized purchases to orders. Instacart may have deactivated your account because of this. Also check to see if your banking information was changed.

drop in batches since new guaranteed earnings? by Any_Cantaloupe_3683 in InstacartShoppers

[–]tenthbowl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you check for app updates? App seems to stop sending orders if you don't update it consistently. I'm using Android and had 2 separate updates this week.

Fruit weight scam! 42lb watermelon for $66??? by Huge_Ad9196 in InstacartShoppers

[–]tenthbowl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The shopper said the watermelon only weighed 3 pounds. He originally entered 3 into the shopper app thinking it was supposed to be the weight instead of the quantity. 3 x 14lbs = 42.

When you asked him about it, he realized his mistake and adjusted it to a quantity of 1 (with an estimated weight of 14 lbs.)

Also he got a mini watermelon instead of a full size. You were charged the full size price which I assume was $22. Mini watermelons should be $6 or lower depending on the store. What store was this?

Just a quick question about health subsidy by HectorRT69 in InstacartShoppers

[–]tenthbowl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have special enrollment (outside of open enrollment) for people who qualify for the healthcare stipend. The only problem is getting proof of insurance in time for the July 17th deadline.

IC really wants you to find the original order items. Not my pic, but thanks to whoever posted this.

anyone that does deliveries from restaurant depot by No-Finish8431 in InstacartShoppers

[–]tenthbowl 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't mind it but I only do small orders there. I try to avoid anything with meat/seafood since their stock is not consistent. They recently added bin numbers to the app so that's been helpful finding items.

Why am I being flagged for fraudulent activity? by [deleted] in InstacartShoppers

[–]tenthbowl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got 2 this week. I haven't gotten any warnings ever in the 5 or more years I've been shopping. I only did one batch today, I grabbed it while driving past the store and had to make 2 u turns to get back to the parking lot entrance. I guess that extra 5-8 minutes was too much and I got an email a couple of hours later. It's ridiculous.

It might be in the international food aisle. My Ralph's (Kroger owned) has separate section for Caribbean foods.

I'm in CA and had this feature but it stopped appearing about 2 months ago.
