      I also live in PA. I am full time shopper (delivery and shopper). I have 1 customer that decided just do they grocery with me because instacard is charging so much.
      Shopper are pay for 0.60x mile+tip.

      Also if the shopper didn't find all the items instacart take the money, I lost kind of $30 per day because of this even when I take 30min looking in others places to find the items, because the stores are stocking products in differents places.

  • @kelliegross
    @kelliegross 4 роки тому +22

    I've stopped looking at the items on the batch before I accept it, once you look the batch will be taken. I check how far away the house is from the store and go for it, anything under 10 miles is the goal! I won't go any further. I also try to avoid double batches unless it's a real good price and also under 10 miles.

  • @dimplez258
    @dimplez258 4 роки тому +13

    The fact that these terrible batches are getting scooped up just as quick as good batches is frustrating. Like someone is doing the work for you shopping for your groceries, how dare you fix your fingers to request 70 items with very little and some cases no tip?? And why are shoppers taking those shitty orders??? Like those customers need to learn a lesson, and their batch shouldn't be selected and collect dust... that will show them to appreciate the service they are being provided, esp with shoppers putting themselves at exposure risk too. I think some crummy folks figure people are desperate so they throw any scraps and knows the order will still be picked up. Ugh, rant over. Btw, Thanks again for tips and tricks, I'll look into a new area cuz it's a dry spell where I am.

      But I've chatted with customers that are ordering via Kroger delivery instead of instacart and they think I'm a Kroger employee so tip low, but I've explained them it's independent and my time and my gas and some have increased tips

    I’ve been doing DoorDash here in the Denver area for about a month and it’s been awesome! I’m easily making $25+/hr and often more. So Steph, hopefully you can get signed on with them and can give them a shot. No issues with bots since they send the order to 1 person at a time and you accept or decline. I just got signed up with GrubHub but have only gone out once so far because DD has had good promos running, so I’m sticking with them for now.

Being able to multi-app to keep bit busier when your main app is slow is again, to your benefit.

    I am betting that if they really tracked down who is running the bots, its probably an instacart employee or ex-employee who knows the code and how it works. And instacart doesnt really care because apparently THEY get their money no matter what.
    I have run across people in stores who where obviously instacart shopping on orders that I never saw come up on my phone. Meaning that they more than likely are using the bots somehow. We shoudl start taking pictures of those people and posting them somewhere (With the caveat that that isnt absolute PROOF that they are using a bot service. But catch them 3 or 4 times, and more than likely they are usingt a batch snagging bot service.)

    5/29/20: SoCal market is a problem as batches disappear in literally 3 seconds. You cannot look at any batch or it will be gone. Once the lockdown is are over people will return to work and the real Instacart shoppers will have more work. Most new shoppers will not continue to shop as most people need a guaranteed income of hours, or salary.

    I had 49 rating all 5 star. For some reason the last person I shopped for gave me a 2 start rating though I delived the goods 20 minutes before the expected time. That was 2 weeks ago and I haven't been able to get a batch to save my life since. I did some research and I'm not the only one this has happened to. Instacart wont last long and another company will take over grocery deliveries if they dont fix this terrible business practice. I used to think uber/uber eats was strict. But sheesh, instacart is shit. Imo they haven't been able to bounce back after the bot deboicle.if you're new you can still make good money but once you get a negative review your instacart career might be a wrap

    So you all I just wanted to update you on Instacart and how they are finding every reason in the book to deactivate accts bc they hired to many ppl and ofcourse the issue with the 3rd party app/Bots.
    So, I was just put on the waitlist for Instacart considering I have been shopping for them for 3months now. I inquired about the 3rd Party Apps/Bots taking orders and when will it get fixed. I make this call every 2-3days. I guess they didn't like that. The next thing I know I go to the Instacart app to ck on batches and I'm on the enrollment screen and its telling me I am on the waitlist.
    Although, I do feel they are downsizing bc the market is oversaturated. However, by me inquiring about the 3rd Party App/Bot kind of put a target on back. So, it is what it is. Instacart is grimy as hell. They are putting clients banking accts at jeopardy by not addressing this issue. If it was easy for the hackers to gain access to batches I'm quite sure they can just as easy gain access to bank accts.
    Good News is I will be starting Shipt within a few days or so. Like I told Instacart they don't make me or break me. I never depended on their income it was a resource for just a little more cash. I am blessed to have a full time job and I own my own business. The side gigs were just a little extra.

I contacted them and inquired when would the issue be rectified bc it not just about me it's about the customer. After that dialogue I go back to ck on batches and my acct was deactivated. I contacted support again and asked why and the first excuse was "they have enough shoppers and my acceptance is pending status." I was like "what are you talking about I have been a shopper going on 4months. Then it was, they never obtain my paperwork, criminal background check etc. I was totally confused. How in the world have I been shopping w/o this. It was just an excuse. I put a target on my back and they decided they didnt want to deal with it. So, in order not to deal with it they deactivated and now I'm in their waitlist. Honestly, I feel like it is a inside job. They are aware of the issue and they are still not doing anything about it. During our dialogue support went into how batches were delivered and it have to do with location/zone etc. That let's me know they're not try to address the issue and seems like the are covering up something. So, that's why I feel... Its a inside job. They know what's going on.
