Re: Made my first order through Instacart

I used Instacart when my car battery died and I had no money to replace it right away, and once when I was sick and needed medicines. Both times were fine. But at this time, when stores are out of so many items, I prefer to go and do my own shopping. It's easier then.

Re: Made my first order through Instacart

I have been using Instacart since I have been quarantined at home.  I am not going to movies, out to dinner or lunch, plays, exercise classes, etc. so I figure I can pay a little more for food.

@Kachina624 They are still coming.  Received another email from them while filling my order for a substitute.  I believe they will come.

Some Instacart workers are on strike. But they say they are hiring and I would guess some of their employees can't afford to strike or don't want to.


I read that Instacart is an Uber service for food delivery.  They hire them quickly!  They are nationwide, so they have to be.

FYI Does anyone use Shipt? It is like Instacart. My cousin just went to work for them. She shops and deliver the items. Has no contact with customers. She takes a picture ior texts if a substitution is needed.

She had over 48 customers last week and made $$$$! Her customers have been very happy with this service. She said "not bad for a side hustle". BTW She has a medical job that shut down.

Amazon technically has the most food, sitting in warehouses.  But, they are not nationwide yet.  Ever since the virus, its been near impossible to order anything from them.  The company as been besotted with orders.  They will have to change their system if the go nationwide.  Like instacart. 

 

Oopes Instacart means business.  The food might come earlier this evening.... Just received a text
