Re: Instacart - Sam's Club or Costco?

Thanks everyone.

 

I've recently used Instacart for 2 local grocery stores (Publix and Aldi) and am pleased with the results.

 

Had a membership at Sam's Club for years, but let it lapse awhile back.  (No Costo's near me, so it's not offered)

 

I tend to agree with @Love my grandkids on principle, but there's nothing on Instacart to answer this question and was curious.

 

ETA:  Thanks for your 2nd response @Love my grandkids !

@denisemb I posted here and a new thread about my call to my local Costco. Per the warehouse manager, a membership is required to use Instacart.

OK, either Sam's Club has a different policy, Jennifer from Instacart is wrong, or I'm just confused...

 

Did a live chat with Jennifer at Instacart:

 

Me:  To order from Sam's Club through Instacart, do I need a membership with Sam's Club?

 

Jennifer:  To process order from Instacart website. It does not necessary that you need to have membership from a specific store. However if you do have one it will give you option to add the membership upon checking out.

 

Me: So I would just leave that blank?

 

Jennifer:  Yes.

 

 

Guess I'll just have to try it and see if it works...

OK, can't let this go...LOL

 

From Sam's Club website:

 

Instacart Home Delivery with Sam's Club
 

Sam's Club is partnering with Instacart to offer same-day delivery of Groceries and Everyday Essentials.

 

By March 2019, all Sam's Club locations (except in Puerto Rico) will offer Instacart delivery services.

Re: Instacart - Sam's Club or Costco?

I just went back to Costco Instacart and almost everything I wanted was available, still no TP, but I won't know until the items arrive tomorrow if I get everything.
