YES YES @Spurt  After quite a few years of getting it together I find Instacart the quickest, most efficent delivery service out there.

Plus with all the store options. 100 oercebt the fastest and mostly get it right.  I like we can text back ad forth for a substitution with a picture if what I wanted is out of stock too.

I always give one replacement on my shopping list, but  if my first and 2nd choices arent available theyll take a photo to show whats available on the shelf....great communication and smooth deliveries. And your right Wow the store options, most have no price markups and charge regular in store prices, at least in my area....And no delivery fee if your a member $99 yr which works out to $8.25 a month plus small service fee-- its worth it--- for me anyway....

Yes Thanks @Spurt  I totally agree.  Most shoppers are great!

Trust me, they will charge you.  You may want to read their policy on litigation.

i would dispute the original charge since they said you returned it " the advanced refund. "  ( If it was with their card handled by Synchrony bank. I don't have much trust. )

If it were with a card from any other bank you may be in luck.  I still would report the issue to the Federal Trade Commission dot com.

@jlkz Amazon doesn't use Synchrony for their cards.  They use Chase.  At least that is who handles my Amazon card.

Prime 2 day delivery to other than urban areas close to whse is no longer the case.  Amazon draws items from whses that have availablity and transfer to "your" assigned whse.  From there it's two day delivery.  If you live rural, Prime 2day delivery never existed.

@SEGardener  But the OP stated that she lives in a large city.

Amazon Prime is a bargan, with or without overnight/two day delivery.

It's wonderful for those who don't drive, are elderly, disabled, or have small children.

I have never requested overnight or two day delivery, instead choose the delayed delivery to benefit the environment.

You may want to multiply the number of Amazon  deliveries you've had in just a month by $3.50 and compare it to the cost of a Prime membership.

@occasionalrain The OP said that she has Prime in her first sentence.

I don't live in rural area.  In fact, the next town that almost surrounds mine is now the largest in the state population-wise (although not infrastructure-wise regrettably).  We also now have I think 2 Amazon warehouses in the area.  I know there's 1, but I thought they built another one.  That being said, I've never recieved anything from amazon in 2 days.  

Remember when we had to wait 6 to 8 weeks for mail order items?

@Sunshine Kate  is there anyway you can use instacart in your area?  I find them the best as they have grown over the years.  Yes they started rather clunky like an old rusty car like most start ups, uber, etcetera.  But now they are on it top speed IMO. Very happy.

I don't buy my groceries from Amazon. I go to the store.  If I know an item is available locally, I'll usually go and buy it locally.  However, I'm not going to drive around looking for said items.  That's what I use Amazon for.
