Instacart review: I won't buy from this seller 36

This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

The instacart.com offer products, which can be purchased in whole as well. I bought 10 milk packages, which cost me $ 25 with the shipment. Later I called the nearest shop and asked about their prices. Of course, they sell milk packages for smaller price than instacart.com. So I won’t buy from this seller. They overcharged customers for the same products as in shops. They simply make money on people and mislead them.

CAD111 was deducted from my credit card without notifying me. I am so dissatisfied with your service as you cannot deduct miney without letting me know.

The company wants you to commit to slave for 15 -25 hours and isn't as flexible as you think. If you don't agree to the specific hours and days they pressure you to agree to you will have someone such as Karaoke the area manager be rude and kick you out of the meeting for no reason. She is a real [censored].

We ordered a list of grocery items to bet delivered through instacart from publix grocery store .We received an our delivery at 6:15pm. I rated the order through the app before realizing two items that we paid for are missing. Sun butter, and bonne-maman strawberry Jam.
There's no contact customer service that I can find or change rating option.

I'm hearing impaired. I worked Instacart for one year. I never missed/failed delivery. Instacart email me that I was failed delivery and I asked them I need proof if I was failed delivery. They did not respond back. Next day, Instacart put me deactivated for no reason.

They over charge my order, i paid over 20 cad more for the products with price tag, the info on their web say weighted products are subject to adjustment and they didn't adjust my purchase and over charge. When i call customers services, they just said sorry is nothing we can do.

I continued to be overcharged and given the wrong products by instacart and when I complained I was told I would no longer be given credits or refunded for the items they gave me me that was incorrect. They told me that due to the amount of credits and refunds they would no longer credit or refund my orders even though it was their error.

I brought in my order and gave a favorable review. It wasn't until hours later that I noticed that there was a sub sandwich, the Ultimate, that was missing. I would like to claim credit for it on my next order, please. This order was from Thomas M. Askew from Publix deli department on 3 Oct 22.

i received a partial order with a missing item and they will not refund or replace the item. This is not the first time, and I am beginning to think the delivery people are stealing from their deliveries. The item was of course the most expensive item. I didn't know if i should call police and report as stolen.

Probably one of the worse services I have ever used. They were alright at first. Why is there a fee for everything? Why are prices more on the app than they are in the store you're shopping at? Why do they withdraw more than you use then try to force you to get Instacart+ by saying you have to tip to get priority that you already paid for?

On February 20, 2023 I placed a order to be delivered at 12pm but delivery time got changed twice to 1:30pm. I called customer service several times about the issue. A shopper was eventually assigned but became frustrated and could not find my address so cancelled the order and disabled the chat feature on the order.

My order was incomplete, the delivery was very bad, and I was charged too

much for what I got. I will necessarily dispute the charges to my credit card.

The order was placed today (03/13/2023) for purchase at the Fresh Market in

Vero Beach, Florida.

My telephone number is [protected]

Due to a problem with my order and my delivery time, I had to file a complaint with the BBB (Better Business Bureau). Intstacart on the BBB site offered a refund for the order, and I accepted that resolution. However, they never followed through and it has left me with a great distrust of their company.

It has happened again. I placed a order for delivery and the shopper claims order was successfully delivered. Unfortunately that was not the case. I did not even a vehicle come near my residence. I always provide delivery instructions but some shoppers either ignore them or only rely on GPS. I am definitely considering other options

Customer Service is lazy and unhelpful via chat or calling in.They provided me with two email addresses that are not monitored (shoppers@instacart.com and help@instacart.com) The company is pathetic and I hope they eventually shut down. The owner of the company is a billionaire so this comment I am making will not make a difference.

On August 13, 2023, I worked 2 and a half hours and earned $56. Then instacart deactivated my account and kept the funds. I’ve reached out to customer service via text because they don’t provide shoppers with a telephone line. They said to check my email but I didn’t receive an email. Now I have no gas 🤦🏽‍♀️

I am extremely disappointed by your refusal to process my refund request for the incorrect item I received in my order dated August 25th from ALDI. I ordered organic strawberries and received non-organic ones instead. It's only fair that I should not be charged for a mistake made by your shopper.
