Have you ordered things online or worked for this company. I'm looking for feedback.

We have been using instacart for 2 years now and love it. We paid 149.00 a year but it is well worth it.

Sometimes there's promos that really makes you give it try, Have not used it yet only saw promos on it time to time.

I have heard of this website. However, I know nothing about it. If it helps to save money, though, I'll be more than willing to consider using its services, LOL.

Honestly I wouldn't bother.  Instacart has major issues with their software and wherever there's a glitch some how they have no good way to effectively work through it or communicate for the customer benefit. On top of that, I've tried it to see if certain products at grocery stores (They mainly use Whole Foods) would be delivered, however if the store doesn't have the item in stock instacart just leaves the product out of your order (but does not refund your money for the item on the grocery list). Instacart also raises the price on the product from the store price. Do yourself a favor and if you have order a delivery, order directly from the store and don't use instacart.

I have heard of Instacart, but I have never used it. I became interested in the company when I was searching for work at home jobs. The review has mostly been positive from what I have seen.

I have heard of it but I do not really know anything about it.  I would say it is a pretty good company or site because it is pretty popular.

We haven't used it but our son used it when he was living in Indianapolis.  He loved it.  If the store didn't have the item the person doing the shopping called or sent him a text asking if he wanted to replace the item with something else and usually made a suggestion.  The only issue he had was when he got veggies or fresh fruit.  He didn't think they picked out what he would have chosen.  He never did the $149.00 for a year because he wasn't sure if he would be there a year.  When they made the delivery they always carried it into his apartment and let him check everything.  I think it would be a great service for anyone who might not be able to go grocery shopping.  I guess a lot might depend on the shopper you got.

Yes I use it soley for my grocery shopping because of my mobility and disability issues.  For the most part it has been a godsend for me.  HOWEVER it has come to my attention that the company surcharges some of your items which customers are not aware of and they charge enough other fee's that is unacceptable.  Some of their shoppers say they don't get all of their tips as well but I have no proof of this.  All I know is it is a blessing for me because I have no way to get my purchases into the house even if I could go do it myself.  All of the shoppers are very nice and helpful.

I have heard of it and I have heard good things. However, at least in the Boston area, it is more expensive due to fees and tips. I have not personally used it though.

I have heard of it and was wondering about the other side of it.  I was wondering about being a shopper for them.

It's like Amazon Prime for groceries. You can use your local markets to shop and have the groceries delivered the same day if you order before evening hours. I used them before to order groceries from Publix, one of our local food stores. They give you a free trail, $15.00 credit for first timers. I liked it. I have Amazon so I didn't keep it.

I've heard of it. I wish it was available in my area, but unfortunately it's not. We don't even have GrubHub, UberEats, Postmates... Heck, our Walmart just came out with Pick-Up, but you still have to go inside with a cart, let them know you're there, and then wait. Most places I know, you can order it on your phone, drive to the back of the store, and pick it up.

Sometimes it'd be nice to be a hermit for a day  :P

Hello!

Yes, I believe I have heard of them and I think I tried working for them but they were not in my area. Maybe I should give it a look-see again.
