Nightmare. The checkout on the web never works. They want tips for every grocery even at the same time, alleging it is a different driver, but it is not, but worse of all the driver/shopper substitute everything I asked but because she also dumped water inside the rotisserie chicken I ordered, I decided to call the store and check on the item she replaced, which was all of them, when I ordered Organic, she substituted for 'flavored' when I ordered Italian she substituted for curly on and on it went. When I called the store, all items were there
This is what happened, when I checked out, never without calling because the check out on instacar never worked, so you have to call, and since I was shopping in two different supermarkets, when I got to the second one, the bill of the first, which I had already paid, added up to the second. So, I had to call again (every order requires about 2 to 4 phone calls) explaining that I was going to be charged twice for the same order. The customer representative said she would correct that, but instead, she removed the whole order that was showing up twice, instead of being able to correct the issue. So after a few hours, I realized that one of the orders were not coming, so I called and the order had been removed. I chose the items again and placed the order again (another 2 calls because you can't place an order with instacar without calling, the site just doesn't work). I wasn't too concerned because when they charge two tips for one trip, instacar says that they use two different drivers, but that was not true, at least not in my case, so the driver was upset because she was coming back to the same address and dumped water (don't know even. Where that water is from) on my chickens from the rotisserie, changed every product on the list and over charged me, not to mention that some items were missing and no refund for that either. I may get a refund if I call, but I have spend the whole afternoon calling this people because nothing works, so, it saved me a trip to the store, but I spent the time on the phone, got aggravated and received the wrong product. My experience with walmart wasn't perfect either, the driver wasn't that vicious, but there were problems as well... so, for now, delivery is not such a great deal, and with Instacar is a real nightmare.
Answer: Very easy and they are excellent. The problem is not with customer service. It is the web design that does not allow for the check out (lot's of problems with the check out) Another problem is taht they design teh site using English from South Africa, which is not the same. For instance they ask how much you want to give as a tip, so you choose, then later Instacar send you an email and ask if you want to "adjust" the tip, when they mean "double" the tip or increase the tip. I didn't know what they mean by adjusting becasue they had exactly the same tip I had given highlighted and asked me to agree with it (so, you wonder whetehr the tip you selected didn't go through) then at the botton your bill comes with a $10.00 increase and I was told that it means nothing, if I had clicked it only show how much I would pay if I din'dt have the increase, which is an insane reason... so, the whole thing needs to be re-done in order to make sense.
Answer: The web page at Smith does not work, so you can't place an order with them. I couldn't. The phone system Smith offers is non-existent, once in a while a non-speaking English person may answer the phone but your questions are still not answered. Smith didn't answer my email either asking why their 'buy groceries' on line didn't work. Walmart has only a short window of time and it charges for delivery no matter how large your order is.
