    On October 5th, I placed an order with Instacart, which was delivered to the wrong address. I contacted customer support immediately, but they claimed they couldn't resend the order due to a system fault and advised me to reach out later. The following day, I was assured that a refund was being processed and would take 5-10 days. After waiting 10 days without receiving it, I reached out again on October 15th. I was told there was a system issue, and I would absolutely receive the refund within another 5-10 ********, on October 22nd, after another 20 days and still no refund, I contacted customer support once more. This time, I was informed that my account is under review and that I should reach out later. I find it unacceptable that after being promised twice that I would receive a refund, I am now being given vague responses and told my account is under review without any definitive resolution or timeline. Instacart's repeated delays and lack of clear communication have caused significant frustration. I am seeking the refund they promised but have yet to deliver, along with an explanation for the ongoing issues.

    I went to place an order with Instacart, and upon checkout, I was offered a free trial of their Plus membership. I signed up for it, assuming it was genuinely free. I placed my order and changed the delivery address. After waiting for a while, I noticed the food was being sent to the wrong address. The link in the email wasnt working, so I had to call in. Since there was alcohol in the order, they couldnt modify the address after processing, so the order had to be canceled.When I called, I discovered that multiple accounts were linked to my email, which seemed strange. They advised me to delete and reinstall the app. While that was odd, I also asked to cancel the trial membership, but I was told that I couldnt cancel it, though they could disable auto-renewal. After speaking with three different people at the company and being promised it would be handled in two days, nothing was ever resolved.Its outright fraud. I canceled the order the same hour I placed it, but they said they couldnt cancel the membership, which is paid for a year in advance. Not only did I not get the order due to their software issues, but I was also offered a free trial in error because I already had an account. Despite this, they refused to refund the $100. I even provided a screenshot showing that the free trial was supposed to cancel, but they ignored ***** planning to dispute this with my credit card company and report them for these shady practices. It feels like theyre violating consumer protection lawsits malicious and predatory. Their customer support has been almost non-existent. I was told the issue would be resolved in two days, but nothing has happened. I would avoid this company at all costs.

    On October 22, 2024, I placed a grocery store order through Instacart. Unfortunately, I had issues with multiple items in my order, including a health/safety issue and wrong items. I have multiple photos, but was only able to attach one photo to this complaint showing my produce (brocollini) not bagged and sitting directly on top of the raw chicken and receipt. The shopper did not package the groceries correctly and purchased incorrect items. I reported this to Instacart and received an email stating that they could not issue a refund, replacement, or credits for this order (which I do not understand, since there were legitimate issues with this order). I filed an appeal and sent photos as evidence of my issues and I have not heard back from them. I would like a refund on the items I found issue with. This is very disappointing and I hope to receive the proper resolution soon.

    On Oct 14th i made an order on Instacart for $38.76 from my EBT + $2.79 fee that came from my credit card.. Initially i had purchased 4 item, But after thinking i decided to cancel one of the items (Chicken Thighs) and was instantly refunded back to my EBT. I spoke to a customer *** on chat i believe the next day asking why wasn't i refunded after i put in the refund and its saying on your website it was refunded. She said i would've been refunded the next day at the end of the day. Following day comes and still no refund. I decided to call in to instacart and spoke to a woman inquiring about my refund. She said she could see it was initiated but wasn't processed and she would send it up to a higher team to investigate.. Maybe 2 days passes and still no refund. No i am getting really mad because Instacart is taking me for a fool. Called in a again spoke to a gentleman explained the situation requested a supevisor this time and none was available, however a call back was requested. 2 days passed, no call back from a supervisor. I called in maybe 2 more times requesting a supervisor, they could see all interactions and yet still no supervisor is available to take my call and resolve my issue. Instacart is playing games and im not the one to be played with when it comes to not having enough to buy food.. I will be making a complaint to New York State EBT about this issue also..

    I use ******************* and Drug to buy my groceries. They use Instacart to have groceries delivered to people in my community. My complaint is about ********* and NOT about *******. I placed an order on October 8th. I gave the shopper a 15% tip. When my order was delivered, I received someone else's order, and only 2 items that I actually ordered. I talked to ******* customer service and they told me to contact *********. I did. ********* would only refund the items I actually ordered and didn't receive. They would not refund items the shopped charged me for that I did not order. And they would not refund the 15% tip that the shopper, in my opinion, does not deserve. I was told I would get my refund in 5-10 business days. I waited 11 business days, October 21st, and no refund was given. I called Instacart again and they shunted me off to *******. *******, in their kind and generous way, not only give me a refund for all the items from that order, but they also gave me an in-store gift card. ********* refused to take any responsibility for the refund or for their shoppers. They should be shut down. I looked at other reviews about *********, there was not 1 positive review about the company.

    I am rejecting this response because:
    ******* should not have to refund my money for your shopper's incompetence. They did. And they gave me a gift card too. You have shirked the responsibility that should be yours to refund my money and to teach your employees the quality you seek. If you look at the review you have on your company, they are all negative. There is not one positive review. If you are all about quality, you are not standing up to that characteristic. Put the money you did not refund to me and to other's across the country to training your employees and your customer service personal.

    I went to have an auto service completed. I paid for the service with my personal card. The store was not able to complete my service and had to issue a refund. By mistake, I tapped the return payment onto Instacart shopper payment card. I also shop for *********. I was not completing a shop at this time. I have followed up with Instacart several times for the refund of my money which is $85.83. They have advised they are not able to help me.

    Date: 10/26/2024

    Hi there *******,

    Thank you for contacting the Better Business Bureau. 

    I'm really sorry to hear about the difficulties you're experiencing with your refund. I understand how important it is to have this resolved promptly.

    After reviewing your case, I can confirm that there were two attempted deposit transactions on October 21st at 7:45 pm, which were denied and not credited to your Instacart shopper card. This card is designed to only function during active shifts, which means refunds to this card must be handled differently.

    Unfortunately, because the refund was not transferred to your shopper card, you'll need to return to the store where the service was performed. They can assist in reissuing the refund to the correct payment method. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
    Thank you for your patience and understanding.

    I am rejecting this response because:

    i have been back to the store ******** on October 21st, 2024. I spoke with the store manager whos card Ive attached. 
    The store did attempt to do a refund and it was denied by the Instacart payment card. 
    I have attached the screenshot for this as well. 
    as per the attached screenshot, the Instacart payment card is only active during a shop. 
    the returned funds need to come from Instacart. 

    I would believe that when your accounting team balances the books, a cheque should be issued in the amount or return the funds as a payout to my account.

    Hello *******,

    Thank you for reaching out to the Better Business Bureau.

    I'm sorry to hear about the trouble you're experiencing with your refund. I understand how crucial it is to resolve this matter swiftly.

    After reviewing your case, it appears there were two unsuccessful attempts to deposit funds on October 21st at 7:45 pm, which were not successfully applied to your Instacart payment card. Since this card only functions during active shifts, any refunds need to be processed differently. Unfortunately, the refund was not successfully transferred to your Instacart payment card.

    To resolve this, please visit the store where you received the service, as they can help reissue the refund to the proper payment method. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

    Thank you for reaching back out to the Better Business Bureau.

    I'm sorry to hear about the trouble you're experiencing with your refund.

    Just to confirm the details, you paid for an auto service using your personal card. However, you picked the wrong refund method to go to your card after service could not be completed. Since the card is not active during shifts, the refund could not be processed. 

    Is the store not able to send it back to the original payment method?

    Please send a receipt showing a successful refund was processed directly to the Instacart card for us to further investigate.

    I contacted the business in June of 2024 regarding being charged for a subscription that should have been canceled when fraud was detected on my account on 5/30/2024. I contacted them to ensure my membership had been canceled and to canceled any remaining membership from mine or my account wifes account as we didnt use the membership anyway. I still got charged from June-September. When I called in September that advised nor my wifes account or mine had a membership and so there was nothing they could do and told me to contact my bank and dispute as fraud and so I did that. Now in October after I had to go through the hassle of canceling my debit card and getting another they then charged my wifes card. We contacted instacart again and they magically found an account and canceled the membership and refused to provide any other credits even though they blatantly lied and stated that neither of our accounts had a membership. I called once more on 10/19/2024 at 8:34 and was on the phone for an hour with a very disrespectful, unprofessional representative. She REFUSED to escalate my call after being on the phone with her for an hour and asking for supervisor 20+ times. Towards the end she finally said she would get me to one place me on a short hold then came back and said no one was available and that I could do a call back. I told her I would like to wait instead of getting a call back which she refused to let me do. Finally at the end of the call I accepted a call back in which the disrespectful agent did not insert and I never received a call back. I want someone higher up in the company to review the hour long phone conversation that I had with this representative and to call me back and speak with me professionally.

    Instacart delivered $170 of steaks to my house but did not hand them off, it was left at door. No one knocked or rang the bell. Wild life ate all the steaks. I immediately upon noticing they were left. Called,Emailed and chatted with instacart support team. I was told ******** times as long as I sent a picture to support, Id get my refund. Now 3 weeks later I received an email saying they would not refund me. I have screenshots of all the emails and chats and of my call (date, time and length) .
