- This video is about some of the changes instacart has made with their algorithms & some malfunctions with their app. Compared to 2-3 years ago they've added new systems that just don't make it the same anymore...

I appreciate you, sis!
I watched one of your vids where you mentioned using the custom greeting. I immediately tweaked the CG in my app, and I use it for every batch now. It has DEFINITELY made a difference with a lot of customers, and the tip increases are the proof. Thanks much!
Definitely days I feel like I’m being throttled. A lot of the time i feel like it’s at the end of the month. Days where I see stores say high demand and don’t see any orders or I’ll be next to other shoppers talking about “oh there’s a $50 up” and they show me and it’s not on my screen.
I have a 5.0, no bad marks and diamond but hear a lot of the time later in the day “oh there was a $108 and $87 at Costco drop” and i was there at open and didn’t see anything over $35.
Definitely agree with you. Happened to me yesterday. I sat around Costco and multiple Publixes yesterday for over an hour without seeing any orders. I even had a friend who lives about a mile away from a Publix I was at put in an order and I never even saw the order. I can only assume a diamond cart shopper picked it up (I'm only platinum, but 5 stars, less than 100s / item shop time)
Well I work in a wegmans too permanently in PA and the game it’s same as you’re showing…People take batches sometimes it’s you who take it and the algorithm is for you sometimes not….thats why I’m not used to wait anymore anything profitable pops I take it ( I try to switch take one big order then small one and it works out really well making $1700 weekly.
Keep doing your shi** !!! I’ve watched a few of your videos so far.You are the true definition of hustle and motivated. In the Instacart space.
Why you don’t upload at least 1 a week, is mind blowing. You would literally be the face of Gig, Hustle life or whatever you want to call it. I don’t know if you’ve heard of Alex Nino, but you give me those kinda positive videos. An he’s got the trucking industry in a chokehold. I know you had family things that may have hindered the process. I wish you nothing but success and happiness! God bless!
Thank you so much fam 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
This just happened to me yesterday. Everyone else at the store was getting orders and I wasn't - they were only showing me trash. This happens to me at least once a week and sometimes more than once. Happens to the others too. Yesterday I wasn't down to roll with the punches and went home after making only 120. And woke up sick today to boot and took off. I needed a mental break anyway lol. The throttle is real. Sucks. But thanks for the upload. You should do more content even if it ain't IC. Var too.
Been a shopper since 2017. Now a days you just have to take bad orders. Being picky makes day inconsistent. Since I started to just take most orders $20 and up I’m back to over $1k a week.
Hey! How many hours do you work to make the $1k a week? Also, do you live in a large city? I’m looking to do this on the nights and weekends to help pay off some credit card debt. Thanks!
@@irismargot92 last week made $1044, 41 active hours that doesn’t count waiting for batches. I take batches 7 days a week between 9am to 7pm. Definitely need to grind to hit these numbers consistently. Not a big city palm beach fl area.
@@irismargot92WE DON'T NEED NEW SHOPPERS! FIND ANOTHER JOB! DO UBER!
@@irismargot92 Most $20 orders will take you between 45 minutes to an hour and a half to shop and deliver. Then you have to get yourself back into a hot zone to get another order. $20/hour is a pretty good average you can depend on when planning. There will be days where you make much more than this, but there will also be days where you struggle to make this. So to make $1000 in a week, you should expect to have to work 50 hours. It's not something you will be able to do if you're working as a second job. I use the app as a supplement to my income as well, and I just try to set a goal for myself of $40 per day. Some days this can mean doing 1 order and other days it can mean doing two to three orders.
I feel like it definitely is based on your acceptance rate lately. Definitely not the same as before..
Story for today. I hurt my back carrying a case of water (40 count) up some stairs. I was srill able to do about 2 more orders and i couldve kept going but im done for today and i seen a $49 for a 3 shop and deliver. Don't want my back to get worse so ill jump back on instacart another day
I wish u and Var weren’t just gig channels and do more stuff together like a couples channel with more stuff like: cooking, traveling, vlogs, pranks, gamings, Instacart funnyVid/Reddit reactions, hauls, workouts, mukbangs, storytimes, challenges etc that way we’d at least get more uploads🥲
shut up
There definitely showing and prioritizing new shoppers and definitely releasing the batches differently
$160 in 3.5 hrs? That's really good in my book.
Exactly 😂!
That's active hours, not total hours. All hours totaled up appear to be around 10 + hours.
@@ShelterDogs Ok, good to make that distinction. For me I go by active hours though because I multi-app.
Well, the truth is, only Bell Pepper knows. But it appears to me she was only doing IC.
Yea my area been got over saturated I gave up last year 4 years strong lol when I started being out for 5 hours and not gettin anything I knew it was over lol I finally found independent contractor jobs that aren’t driving that I do from home now with laptop and do this on the side now good luck to y’all still driving👍
Same. Thankfully, I live across the street from a Costco. Most days, I can sit at home, work on my other projects, and watch the app randomly. I'm sure I miss a lot of batches cause I'm not glued to the app. But if I see something good, I grab it. For instance, I snagged a 60 going 2.8 mi from Best Buy yesterday. Felt amazing to get one after waiting for hours.
what kind of job is it if you dont mind
U didn't answer the question
What independent contractor job?
Lol, why aren't they answering the question?
Nice to see ya again! Hope you post again soon!
Girl I miss the old days of IC. I have the same problem in my area 10 shoppers at costco drop and were all seeing different orders.
I just started and the app has definitely been glitching( screen goes black, have to constantly restart or not allowing you to accept the batches you selected).
one of my secrets i will tell. here is how you go from drought to orders. not promising they will be great. just orders. they may have a good one or not. ok here is how to do the secret. you have no orders at all for at least for 10 minutes, turn on airplane mode and drive to the edge of the lot. turn it off and you will have orders very soon. 1 to 5 minutes at the latest. this works a lot better on Roadie and Uber Eats as well as regular Uber. hope this helps. have a great day everyone. nice job you did there Bellpeppa. they do have folding flat carts on Amazon that hold up to 300 to 500 pounds. great for all those pesky large orders with drinks, sodas, and water. i hope this helps. good luck out there everyone.
I’m so glad that you also experienced the same exact things that I do. I don’t feel so bad now I’m sorry that you can do that have to go through that, but I started to think that maybe it was me but now I understand that it is shady shit that they do
I love my foldable cart. Saves on your back. Trust me you'll feel the pain the harder you and older you are. Best investment ever!
Don’t show your phone anymore Bella Instacart been tryna take people vids down for copyright💯
What? For copyright? There own creators? There own drivers copyrighting them? That’s sounds off and stupid
@@thecurrencyacademylmao. It does sound stupid. 😂😂😂
😂
Instacart is wackkkkk
@@thecurrencyacademy Instacart sent out new terms and conditions that says they can deactivate drivers for showing anything in their app, I guess they've gotten tired of all the backlash they've gotten for those terrible batches they have.
I’ve been considering doing Instacart, but I’m a little hesitant because of the insurance requirements now requiring commercial coverage. Any advice on working around that?
Don't tell them. It's only food or merchandise in your car. It's not ride share where you have human strangers in your car.
Yep I totally agree, you don’t need commercial coverage. It’s just groceries ☺️
we'll get these $60 ,triples [no-frills, loblaws] up here in canada. -makes u wanna tap
but then it gets up beyond 75, 80 85 items. a grinder, takes a chunk out of your mental~
by the time you first-click until the last final drop it would've chewed up 3 hours.. so netting below 20/hr m'eh. otherwise, it'll be these 9- 14$ ones but still not enough of them
Hi Bella, we appreciate your videos always quick question. Just wanted to know how Portsmouth Virginia is if you have any idea my stepdaughter just moved out there and was wondering how Instacart was thank you.
I’m not sure! I don’t know anybody there & haven’t been down there myself :(
Okay thank you
Virginia is huge it's a state not a city 😅.
What type of iPhone and service provider you’re using?
14 pro max & Verizon
I usually restart my iPhone delete the instacart app and reinstall it every other day before starting my day work for me
Music taste is immaculate 🔥
I got a sturdy foldable cart at costco for 70$ like 3 weeks ago, makes all the difference on my time when i get bulky orders like those, or when i have to drag around cat litter 😅
Also, i got tip baited for the first time this week!! Always awesome to be abused like that by dishonest people
💯 the wife bought one and never used it... MINE! 😃 I only use for milti-cases of bottled water/sodas; everything else is bonus cardio 🤍 Tip baiting can make you lose faith on humankind, just don't internalize it....
My thought is it's probably an algorithm that caps your weekly earnings and sees if you hit a certain amount it will give it to other shoppers who don't work as much or don't have that much money yet. I myself am getting uncomfortable and starting to move to other areas where rich people live. You have to go where the money is. I'm doing research to find the richest houses in a specific place 1m+. None of this 350k below house bullshit cause those people don't tip much. Most orders from them will be around 20-25 dollars. I'm hunting for 30-100+ consistently. So far I went to this new place and was getting +40 dollars 4 orders in a row so that's an improvement, was making 31 an hour from 3-7pm. But yeah probably the app is capping you so you don't make that much money so you can continue working for Instacart like a fucking slave. The same thing happens to me in my previous area. No orders for like 2-3 hours and than a like 70 dollar order drops. It always averages to 20 an hour, fucking evil people at the top of the food chain who have all the money.
I’m in NC and the orders have been ridiculous lately, driving me nuts. I thought it was just me or my phone , kind of funny they do this after having us sign the new rules!
They been doing this since they started requiring shoppers to be in the parking lot the only difference is more people were ordering then. This year has been super slow basically forcing you to take trash but i multi app instead i wont take trash ever under any condition.
is this in florida?
I have never start instacart and never had grocery shopping experience.. how can i get better in grocery shopping when i start instacart in future any tips ? Honestly i dont have an job and dont know where to start
Learn the store layout! Pick a store you feel comfortable at. Take your time at first, over time with more & more experience you’ll start remembering where things are & it gets easier ☺️.
@@Bellpeppa thanks 😊❤️
Been a shopper since 2019. It's not the same. Took an order for $31.and change. It was a bad order. 33 miles for $31.00 but I needed the money and had the gas. Drive the 66 miles there and back and find my pay was cut by $2.00 for refunding one, ONE item. Now at $29.00 for driving a punishing 66 miles in rush traffic. It is just so not worth doing instacart any more. I wish they didn't punish shoppers for having to do a refund
33 miles for 31 dollars make absolute no sense unless you somehow discovered teleportation
I notice the algorithm will show me orders I’m more likely to accept. Or similar orders I’ve already accepted for the day. Maybe you took some not so great orders now the algorithm is trying to feed you them batches. But I’ve been having instacart remove batches in my doubles and triples a lot. It helps cut down the time and not cater to non tippers.
listening to Var's music and i got the notification of your new vid 🫡
I love this comment 🥹🙏🏽
Where you living..? What state?
Big Bells...ok, its bitter sweet to see that your area can actually be normal. i thought that yall was just in bliss over there with those good orders yall usually get.
on the topic of the video, yes, they throttle folks and there's no real rationale behind it. now im between 2 wegmans. 1 where they allegedly use bots (i dont know how) and the other has teams of people working together and each of them have 2 to 3 phones. its a cold world over here
I will say I appreciate her showing her area does indeed have slow and low periods as well
UA-camrs only put their best orders on their videos. Nova is like anywhere else , maybe a bit busier than small towns. This gig work is slowly turning into a minimum wage job . Every year the pay is less and less.
Wow I wish I had seen this earlier cause I had the same issue, I didn’t see no batches pop up today and I’m sitting here thinking “What’s going on?” I removed the app from my phone, reinstalled it and viola batches pop up. Lol
We miss you and luv ya! ❤
What happened to tatvar?
I just started insta carting and I’m not seeing what you see. I’m in the Atlanta area it’s rough all I’ve seen has been $20 batches going 28 miles
It’s just cause your account is new! Take orders that are low miles & a decent amount of items and climb up the tiers to diamond. Once you’re diamond you’ll have a better perspective of what orders are like in your area!
What is your star rating and shopping tier, speed and cancellation rate? Hiding/declining and not_responding/availability/inactivity hidden rate which will also go into their algorithm for their bot to process which ultimately will result in shoppers not getting orders or slave offers. A lot of hidden or nondisclosed factors that you do while logged in goes into what you get.
Oh....that's just superstition 😆
Yea im finding out the hard way. I gave t been a shopper for two years n right now in may 2024 in nyc sucks
Not to mention Instacart is taking our tips.
I tell the customers i will not refund many items because they reduce our tips per item. I simply tell them whatever I don't ring up at checkout is what they WON'T GET CHARGED FOR, basically it's refunded.
QUIT TAKING OUR FREAKING TIPS. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE ILLEGAL BECAUSE IT IS NOT OUR FAULT THE STORE IS OUT OR THE CUSTOMER DOESN'T WANT THE REPLACEMENT
Just bought the bag, it will help a lot with big orders
I click a good order and its immediately taken
hello, i admire u as one of the shoppers doing instacart. i worked as a support, i would hirely suggest that you should put a goal like complete 70-100 batches (not order but batches) a week so that you'll become a diamond cart shopper and receives batches that has high batch like over $30 and above for just 1 order in a batch. i feel sorry for those shoppers since instacart keeps on changing the process, as much as i love to give all of you an extra bump but i cannot since i am just working also, it might lead to termination if i do that, sorry
How did you get the job in support?
Technically thats discrimination and these apps aren't bound to equal opportunity rights clauses.Everyone within an acceptable distance of the store should get the same orders and like you said first come first serve. And as we are using our time devices equipment and vehicles not to mention our own bodies for labour. We should have the right to cancel what ever we see fit without being rated. The gig app rating system is quite ridiculous. For example if they see many people cancelling for the same reason improve on the issue. Or if they see orders not being accepted within a dollar , mile , or quantity of item range. We are adults not kids. Is simply a form of control. Happy Driver/ Shopper, Happy Customer, Profitable company

I barely got any batches until i got a bot form gigshield
Do you have a referral code?

I find it interesting that comments are disabled on all their ads. What are they afraid of?
Hi 👋.. this is Q I just Subscribed to your Channel .
Hey Bella You Should Try Shipt Or Roadie .. Shipt Pays You Like 10-20 And Roadie Pays You Like 25-45$
Hi bellpeppa. I got kicked of instacart for high rate of 16% cancelation. I reached out to TATVAR to see if he knows how to get reactivated but I haven't heard back from him. Do you have any advice? I'm Roderick or Rod from Richmond? Spoke to you one day up in sterling? TATVAR has my number if he has time to Holla. THANKS again and KEEP RUNNING IT UP! PEACE SISTA
Your best bet is to just keep emailing them! See what they say, if they don’t respond keep emailing!
@@Bellpeppa THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR RESPONDING. YOU REAL KOOL
You should get a cart. It will save your back versus carrying those heavy IKEA bags.
ikea bags is so smart
Everything seems to be the same for me….$300 per day avg. BUT you must change with the times. If you expect the same thing as 2020 before inflation you WILL feel a slowdown… I hope things pick up for you….good luck
What car do you drive
2011 Prius!
You said you were on the app since early morning~3pm and on the screenshot says 3 hours on, also wtf 117 on tips but just 41 for batch… 😂😂
Do you live somewhere where plastic bags are banned? or do you just prefer paper bags?
They banned them from the county I’m in!
In PA I’m lucky if I ever see batches above $50 few and far between and that’s even as a diamond cart chopper and I’ve been doing Instacart since 2016 and the same thing happened to me. I click it and I click it and I get it or at least I think I get it and it tells me I don’t,
I’ve been shopping for Instacart for 4 years. I rarely see an order over $25. I’m in LA to
That’s crazyyy. I’m so tempted to go to cali & shop in different areas to see what it’s like.
If you're in LA and you rarely "see an order over $25" then it's probably your zone. LA is massive. Where are you working out of?
This is why I multi app none of these apps Are the same anymore.
yeah i got myself banned from all apps once i sucked them dry out of all the money they had. Once there was no more money to be made i auto banned myself lol and moved on to another app out of anger and frusteration. I started with ubereats than hopped too doordash than after that slowed down and went from making 300 a day to 50 a day i hopped to spark now that's fucking dead. and by a miracle once i got banned on that my brother reminded me of instacart. That saved my ass especially in my state since the stores it uses are very popular.
Thank you for your insights.your right i thought insta cart manipulates the orders.i can hardly make any money.i need to do muliply orders which i have not done.insta cart is not for faint of hearts.its cat and mouse game
It's been dead in my area for a year
We need more bell peppa😢
4:26 facts!!! So dumb what they do now
Can you still make over 300 a day on Instacart?
Patiently waiting for Bella & Var to drop the Onlyfans😂💰💯
You’re gonna be waiting your whole life 🤷🏻♀️
Me too
@@Bellpeppahelp I’m crying 😭at this comment Bella
WTH 😭
Thirsty ahh bottom feeder
I think with instacart they split the bangers that way everybody can see a banger sometimes.
Instacart finally gave me a card after 2 1/2 years waitlisting in San francisco, Human Resource department is Trash.
Nah this job seems like hell on earth
It’s not always like this lol 😂
No gig app is good since 2024
I just got to diamond and I don’t see anything different. I made $12 last 6 hours. Smh all these ppl parked next to me nowadays
Are you shopping for those items or are you just doing pick up?
Shop & deliver
I made 25k in a day doing IC. Got a batch 1 shop and deliver 10 items, 12 units , 2 miles and pay was $2500. 😂
🤯🤯🤯
I swear they did a bate and switch on me yesterday
I’ve been doing instacart for 7 years back in the days I used to make 1200 a month as my second job it was a good side gig. Now I get lucky if I make $400 a month.
They definitely make you work harder now a days! But any money on the side is good!!!
On wow. I make between 500 to 850 a week as a side gig.
Tell the whole thing. What's ur rating? Are u 💎 what's ur score. U.know if ur cherry picking their not gonna favor u.
Don’t matter if you diamond! When I was diamond trash orders
Would you do a “Is it still possible to make $2,000 in a week with Instacart in 2024?” video/series?
For me, the “challenge” videos are the most motivating content from y’all for sure 👍
Definitely on my list!
It's awful and slave labor. I used to make $600-$800/ week for good weeks and bad weeks were $500.
Now for the from Feb-present (May 2024), $400 a week is average but really it's like $300/ wk because I ONLY TAKE ORDERS WITH LOL MILES AND ITEMS, NO MULTIPLE OF 3 UNLESS IT'S CLOSE TO $45 AND UP, AND I ABSOLUTELY DON'T ACCEPT ORDERS UNDER $13 BUCKS.
THEREFORE, I WILL SIT FOR AWHILE WAITING FOR A GOOD ORDER AND IF IT DOESN'T COME, I'M OUT. USUALLY A FEW WILL COME ONCE A WK VS 3-4/WK.
WE ARE NOT SLAVES
idc how many item 67$ i’ll take it!!!
Their came on before this video😂 they must be extremely saturated these days😮
Can you and Var do a Q & A video please??
I’m gonna try & convince him to go live w me 😋
Turning your phone off doesn’t do diddly. Gig apps want their shoppers to be part time. 15 hours a week for all
Some days I get orders from everywhere in a 10 mile radius, some days I don't see any the only thing that makes a difference is driving to hotspots or stores that use Instacart for delivery. Not to mention ive been signed out of my account since Sunday because of the outage they had and Driver support has done nothing but say "Sorry we'll forward it to our team" 😭
They are either hot or cold I swear 😣
I’m at the giant I saw you at next to total wine as I’m watching this today has been 🐕 💩
It was sooo bad for me lol but people were banging out 70s alllll day 🙃
Instacart super slow in central Florida, almost all bad orders
Getting someone to help you with shops is against company policies. You re an INDEPENDANT Contractor and anyone helping you shop wasn't cleared by Instacart with a background check. Its not fair to the rest of us that play by the rules and do the big batches solo like we re supposed to
😂 get a life
@@Jake-be9ji I have 1, I dont need to have people come help me with mine.
Not only are the offers crap, Instacart is using any excuse to short shopper's on payouts. They are constantly ripping me off, $2 here and $3 there.
Hola,caldo saludo desde la bella Italia.
Hey Bellpeppa , really nice video ! I was wondering if I could help you with Best Quality Editing in your videos and also make a highly engaging Thumbnail which will help your videos to reach to a wider audience ? Pls let me know what do you think ?
Dm me on instagram! @itsbellpeppa
lol you call your mom to help you with a batch?
Instacart is messing with everyone apps.
Tip- just take orders
No offense, but you and your buddies seem spoiled. My area, Miami, rarely sees IC orders over $25. Instead of complaining, maybe be more grateful that you can decline $40 orders and make $150 in a shorter time. Trust me, its ALOT HARDER in many places
It’s not complaining, when we used to swing only great orders and then they have you just sitting in the car w no order or just seeing 55 item 77 units for 12$ of course we have an opinion about it
Nothing is the same. It’s all worse.
How was your week?
They are making me workkkk! It’s been slow for me lol ive been taking anything 😂 but I made it work!
@@Bellpeppa I make it work too. Sometimes the journey is easy and sometimes it's hard. It was a rough one this week but made it happen. Hope to see an upload soon
They deactivated my account because the road to the woman was closed due to an earthquake and the road being closed off. And I sent them a bunch of proof of it and still deactivated. Joke of a company. Hope a better one comes out
Keep on emailing them over and over, keep sending proof if you have it. You just have to be persistent cause they’re annoying!
@@Bellpeppa oh I have trust me I’ve sent 40 emails, and with the proof and they said after review my account isn’t eligible for re activation.. did this for 4 years and over 5000 orders. That’s how they treat me smh

It really ain’t the same
There’s a grip of new shoppers on board, so now the veterans have to grind literally allllll day to make bread smh 🤦🏾♂️
it's cause spark died.
all these orders sound AMAZING must be California lol….
