Instacart is not Insta-customer service
Garbage! This is the perfect marriage of horrible customer service, high prices and lagging technology. Instacart asks you to choose a delivery time. I choose 4pm-5pm. The delivery happened at 1:50pm. That's not even in the ballpark. A rep from Instacart called to tell me the groceries were left on the front step of my apartment building. When I asked the rep for an explanation of what went wrong. He told me I should have been tracking my order through the app and that I could have told the shopper to stop... basically it was my fault. I do not have a job where I can sit on my phone just in case a shopper does not know the difference between 4pm and 1:50pm. Needless to say, I could not get any friends to grab the groceries cause we all have WFO (work from office) jobs. I was missing items when I got home and Instacart has yet to return any of my call or inquiries on what they plan to do aside from the $5 credit that is a slap in the face because it cover the delivery fee.
