    I purchased glucose test strips from CVS pharmacy on the Instacart platform. I asked for a 25 count test strips and if they didnt have that i wanted the 50 count test strips. The shopper purchased the 100 count test strips which were more expensive than the other test strips i requested. I called support and they told they couldnt do anything for me because the account was blocked. They do this everytime. They allow the shoppers to purchase whatever they feel and its not their money its the customer money. I am requesting a full refund for this item.

    Hi *******,

    Thank you for reaching out to the Better Business Bureau. It looks like you turned on your "Specific Replacement setting, so your shopper selected that replacement item for you. Item replacement settings from one order will apply to all future orders until you change them.

    Depending on your replacement and notification settings for each item, your shopper can select, replace, or refund an item.

    Heres a quick list of your replacement options
    Find best match: Your shopper looks for the best possible replacement if they cant find the item you requested. If no suitable replacements are available, they refund the item.
    Pick specific replacement: Your shopper will look for the specific replacement you requested if the original item is unavailable. If they cant find either, they refund the item.
    Dont replace: If your shopper cant find the exact item you ordered, they refund it.

    In the future, we recommend double-checking your replacement setting for each item, as well as maintaining communication with your Shopper to ensure proper replacement! You can adjust your notification settings to receive real-time updates to your order or incoming messages from your shopper.

    Read more about setting specific replacements in the Customer Help Center.

    Thanks for shopping with Instacart,

    I have been a driver with Instacart for the past year and a half. I recently moved from ** to ** and I got my drivers license here in ** right away. I knew I needed to update it as a driver with Instacart but there was nowhere in my Instacart Drivers app to update it. I reached out to support via chat inside the driver app and they were no help at all. I emailed support and asked how I could go about changing my drivers license in the app so I could continue to make money driving with Instacart. They sent me a link to Chckr the background company they use. I clicked on the link but there was nowhere in the Chkr account to change my drivers license either. I emailed support back and said there is nowhere in the Chkr account to change my drivers license. I never heard back from them. They have deactivated my account with no warning and no email notification about it and now I cant make money.

    I placed an order on May 16th and Instacart has a price for different items that come in packs that are a good deal I made 2 different purchases and did not receive the correct quantity based on their item description and picture. I asked for refund and they stated I placed an incorrect claim for a missed delivery which is incorrect I placed a claim for items that were not delivered correctly I chatted with their customer service and let them know what the items were the description and they agreed it was incorrect. They refunded me and than the following day deactivated my account and recharged me those items. I can no longer log into my account to pull up any receipts to provide to my bank for the refunds or original charges. I paid for a yearly membership and have only had it for 1 month. I asked for a reimbursement for my yearly fee and since then have received no response.

    I am rejecting this response because:

    I do not wish to reactivate my account, but you are omitting the truth in regards to why you are closing my account. You sent an email about a claim with a undelivered item and that is incorrect I never filed a claim for an item not delivered. I am asking for a reimbursement for my yearly membership that I purchased less than a month ago If you are going to remove my account I am okay with that but you are not going to keep my funds for your mistake. You guys have false pricing for items on your website and app and when we dispute you do not want to take responsibility. I do not need to have a membership but I should have access to my online account to remove my data and keep records of my purchases it is against the law to restrict me from accessing my own account and withholding my private information from me.

    I ordered from Instacart today (5/16/24) and the shopper took almost three hours to shop for and deliver my food. I texted him after one hour and he said ********* was making him shop for three orders. I told him I was concerned about the frozen and refrigerator items spoiling. Two hours later I got my food and, indeed, the frozen and refrigerated items were room temperature. I tried to get a refund from Instacart but they are refusing to honor their promise to deliver my order to my satisfaction. I have had so many problems with their shoppers over the past few months, with missing and spoiled items but they have refused to give me refunds or credit on my account. I am a disabled, elderly woman on a pension and can't get to the store on many occasions so I have to rely on Instacart to deliver my groceries. It's not right that I'm being punished for the lack of shopper's ability to get the orders correct.

    I am rejecting this response because: Instacart has made it impossible for people to get refunds on spoiled and/or missing items. Only when I've jumped through hoops and been told multiple times that I'm out of luck for getting a refund do they finally tell me they'll discuss the matter via an email they said they'll send (we'll see). This business needs to get their act together. Their reviews are in the basement and going down from there so I know I'm not alone. Figure it out Instacart!

    I am a senior citizen on a fixed income. I cannot drive and therefore have grown to rely on Instacart for my groceries. A few months ago, I saw an ad for an Instacart Mastercard provided by ***** and it promised me 200$ for signing up. Little did I know, this credit card was not like other credit cards. I signed up for the card and started using it when I made my Instacart orders. I liked that I earned points and discounts in doing so. I noticed that the APR was really high, so I started paying this card off every month. However, even though I had paid off the balance, I noticed interest charges on my bill. When I contacted the company, they told me that interest begins to accrue the moment the bill is mailed...not as of the due date. They explained something about "revolving" credit. I immediately cancelled this card. This is predatory lending! I would like the interest charges refunded to me.

    Hello, this email is in regard to unfair and unreasonable unjust treatment while working for the instacart platform. I have worked for this App/company since 2000 and completed over ***** orders. I have completed probably over 1000 alcohol deliveries and the past year the app has had several app issues/crashes/glitches that should be documented when performing alcohol deliveries that had caused Me major delays and money lost. Without me doing any wrongdoing instacart abruptly informed me without any reasoning or sufficient evidence that I violated the "alcohol delivery policy" and terminated me from doing alcohol deliveries. I repeatedly asked for a reason and why but relieved no reason or proof Alcohol deliveries are a big part of my income that I'm missing now and for that reasoning I ask you please reach out to this company and request reinstatement of these deliveries or atlesst compensate me for the monies I've lost.

    Thank you for contacting the Better Business Bureau.

    The message below was sent to you directly by our Trust and Safety team. Multiple violations occurred and no more specifics are required per your shopper agreement.

    "We received your request to reinstate your ability to deliver alcohol with Instacart. After carefully reviewing the information regarding your alcohol deliveries, we determined that you violated our alcohol delivery guidelines and breached our Independent Contractor Agreement. As a result, your alcohol privileges are permanently revoked.

    This concludes our investigation, and we will not respond to any further requests on this topic. However, you can still deliver orders without alcohol."

    On 5/16/24 I placed an order through Instacart specifically because I received a discount coupon. Their app stated that my order was eligible for the discount and I followed all the guidelines. When I went to check out the discount was not applied. I contacted Instacart immediately to report this and the representative checked my account, verified I was correct, but said I would just have to wait until next time to use the coupon. Not satisfied with their response I called customer service. The representative said there was a glitch in the system which did not allow the coupon to work because I had to use some other coupon first because their computer doesnt read it correctly and that I could try again next time. I asked for a manager. The manager also did not care that this was as a system issue and said he would not assist any further. They refused to give me my money back. I believe this is false advertisement. I explained numerous times that I would not have placed the order if I wasnt offered the discount. The manager said there was nothing that could be done because thats how their system is set up.

    I elected to start a 14-day trial on 4/2/24. I was then billed for a yearly membership on 4/16/24 in the about of $99 plus tax ($106.92) without my consent. The business apparently enrolled me into an auto-renewal of a yearly membership. I realized after the fact that my card was billed and contacted customer service by chat and phone on 5/16/24. Both representatives were extremely rude and claimed they could do nothing because I had contacted them after 5 days from the transaction. I also asked if they could do a partial refund, saying that I was happy to pay for the months of April and May, and again they refused to offer any solution or refund. In fact, one of the reps started to be very confrontational, refused to pass me to a manager and put me on an indefinite hold. This is very poor customer service and a bizarre way of not working with a customer who was offering to be billed for some of a membership that they did not actively agree to.

    April 29th date of the transaction. Instacart took out $156.94 which was the total of my order but then on the same day also took out $159.64. I have filled out the refund form and called the number and wrote to the chat they have available for help and explained they took the money out twice but they keep saying that I have to fill out the form which I do and then no one gets back to me to refund my money. I have tried to get help to get my money back for over 2 weeks. so now I am filing a complaint to see if BBB can help me get my money back.

    Business Response

    Date: 05/16/2024

    Hi *******,

    Thank you for contacting the Better Business Bureau.

    Im sorry to hear about the unfamiliar charge on your account.

    I reviewed your account, and the charge youre referencing is a temporary authorization hold.

    Whenever you place an order, Instacart places a temporary authorization hold on your card for an amount slightly higher than the order total. This helps cover any price differences that can occur due to adding items, replacing items, or weight adjustments.

    Instacart releases the authorization hold after your order is delivered or canceled. It can take 7 days for the pending charge to drop, depending on your bank.

    Once your shopper delivers your order, you can check the final charge on your digital receipt.

    If you have any other questions about charges and payments, please let me know. You can also learn more at our Help Center.

    I am rejecting this response because: they keep saying its a temporary hold but it is not. There was a temporary hold of $173 and they gave me back $173 but then charged me $156.94 which was my order total and another $159.64.

    Its been well over 2 weeks and the money has not gone back to my account. They are just saying this as their automated response so they dont have to refund the money they stole from me. Please dont accept this response from them. I want my money back.

    I am rejecting this response because: I have filled out the form at least 15 times from the exact same email **************** that I always use. Stop making excuses Instacart and return the money you took out of my account. I am appalled and disgusted that you guys keep trying to refuse giving me my money back. I filled out the form you sent on the days you sent it and still nothing from you guys.

    Sincerely,

    Complaint: 21722321

    I am rejecting this response because: This is the same answer I've gotten from them for over a month now and also 2 years ago when I thought the account using my email had been removed only to find out it had not and was again attempted to be used by a hacker. I will only be satisfied when the account a hacker is using is removed. Im not understanding the amount of time this is taking to simply remove the account but a more detailed response from this company would help. Simply stating "were working on it" is not satisfactory to me

    Sincerely,

    Complaint: 21722321

    I am rejecting this response because:
    I've already contacted them at this email address with no resolution to the problem I would like a phone number to call the business since emailing them gets us nowhere closer to resolving this. Each day I get put off is another day the hackers who setup this account have the opportunity to use this fake account. It's been 2 years since I first asked for this account to be removed

    Complaint: 21722321

    I am rejecting this response because: until my account is fully removed, deleted so hackers can't use it I will not accept the answer. "Were working on it" is unacceptable and considered by me to be unresolved.

    I am rejecting this response because: my account has yet to be deleted and it's been 6 weeks at least. That's if we aren't counting the 2 years ago when I asked for it to be removed.
