THEY ARE THIEVES AND TAKE YOUR MONEY! Instacart doesn't want you to see the actual receipt. And this is why: My receipt at Shaws came to $211.69. There was a $12.41 Service Charge. I gave a $20.00 tip. That's a total of $244.10 BUT THEY CHARGED MY CREDIT CARD $280.64; that means that they kept and additional $36.54! Are you kidding me. They also don't take phone calls anymore (probably because they are ripping people off). STAY AWAY AND TRY ANOTHER SERVICE.

I ordered $135 worth of groceries from Aldi's through instacart I opted for free delivery place my order and paid for it then I was told there were no delivery dates available so I tried to change the delivery to store pickup which was impossible I cannot get my money back I don't know when I will get my groceries delivered there is no phone customer service and I cannot get any answers off the website

I've been using the service for a couple of years, and would generally give 4 stars. However, the service has slipped to zero in the past couple of weeks. They've been busy i. E. making more money, but new hires are not being trained properly, there is no customer service by phone or online and I don't know if the site has crashed. This is new. I've been trying to follow up a complaint about wrong items delivered on April 1. Here it is April 6 and I still can not get anyone to straighten it out. Really, really bad.

DONT DO IT! Instacart is allowing shoppers to rip people off. In a time like this, how dare you! I will be trying to find AS MANY of these stories as i possibly can in hopes to open a class action against you! Shoppers substituting less expensive items and no money will be returned to u as they are not substituting through the app! Ordered 2; 96oz almond milks, get 2; 64oz instead. Where did my $4 differential go? And they give no reciept, why? Why would instacart not produce a reciept FROM THE STORE, for something that i am paying for? Are they part of this? I WILL post this on EVERY POSSIBLE REVIEW PLATFORM FORUM that i can find until this is fixed! We as a country are in a dire situation and to be taken advantage of is just WRONG! Happening to you?

I had the worst experience with Instacart. My shopper replaced more then half my items with other products some of which will not get used or eaten with less expensive items but did not record them as replaced so I was charged a higher price then I should have been. We corresponded while he was in the store and I asked that he not replace a couple of items. He then went silent and didn't ask about any other replacements. I contacted Instacart thru their app with my issues and have never heard back. I proceeded to contact them through chat. Someone was helping me and then ended the chat abruptly with no resolution or warning. I would never use this service or advise anyone else to use it as well. This is the worst service and their customer service is beyond the worst.

I ordered from Aldi on friday. I asked for pick up service. Would not let me have pickup. It went automatically to delivery for sunday. Then charged me a 18 dollar fee plus an 18 dollar tip. It was my first order which it stated was free but charged me a delivery fee also. Then they did not have all my items but did not credit me for the 6 items they could not get. Taltogether they made over a hundred dollars of unauthorized money. I am filing a complaint with the attorney general. I have talked to other seniors and it seems this is common practice with instacart. Print your cart out and file with the Attorney General. Also call your bank and stop payment on your card. They are preying on the disabled and sick and elderly. They need to be shut down!

An order from Costco didn't go through due to issues with my Costco card, so the driver didn't do the order but had submitted it to InstaCart as having been delivered. He didn't know how to cancel it with InstaCart. He was communicative - very much unlike InstCart. I have ATTEMPTED to contact InstaCart several times, but they don't respond. Not only do they charge A LOT to deliver, they are taking money for products that aren't being delivered. AND - there is no record of my orders! I can't even check to see what they are charging me for. What a scam!

My first order with instacart, was a small "test" order, and it went well, and left me feeling like someone had mastered shop & drop, and turned it into a big business.

My second order was a minor train wreck, but survivable, if one has the time and patience to connect on the phone with customer service, and spend a few hours getting things straightened out.

My third order was a complete disaster, and what did finally, after 19 hours, get shopped and dropped, never appeared at my door, until 5:30 AM the next day, in a neighbor's arm's, as she told me when she opened her door, to leave for work, it was sitting there. Of course all the refrigerated and frozen goods had ruined. It was then I said I'd never do instacart again. But instacart had refunded my money, and gave me a $20 credit to my account, plus one free delivery.

A month went by, BTW I am disabled, and can not physically go to the stores myself, and this day I thought a frozen pizza would be nice, so I thought I would give instacart a chance to redeem itself, and I used the $20 credit, to order 4 Jack's frozen pizzas. Of course I added a couple loaves of bread, some potatoes, and cleaning supplies.

Well low and behold - I GOT SCREWED! AGAIN! It's obvious I'm not getting my money back this time, That $20 credit and a free delivery was obviously a set-up and I took the bait! Let me leave you with this warning - instacart is fantastic for your first order, but don't let them sucker you in. It is the only time you will be giving them 5 stars, from then on out, you're screwed! And instacart will play you to the MAX! Keep your money, and your financial information. Don't be the fool I was!
