🚗 D E L I V E R Y 🚗

Because Instacart became widely used during the 2019 COVID pandemic, you have 2 options for delivery:

1. Leave at door - This let's us Instacart employees know that it is okay to leave your groceries at the door in the event that you (or someone else) is not available to answer the door. If you select this method, your delivery driver should take a picture of your entire order once it has been delivered to your front door/ *specifications, then send you a chat message through the app, notifying you of it's arrival.

2. Hand to customer - ❗ONLY select this option if you or someone else (4 leggeds don't apply🐶🐱😆) is able to meet your Instacart delivery driver at the time of drop off! This is imperative, because should no one be available to hand the order off to, ‼Instacart employees are obligated to return your groceries back to the store they came from‼.
⚜ There is a catch to this though... In the event that something unexpected pops up and you (or someone) isn't able to meet us, you are able (more like must😉) to give us written consent through the app chat message, stating you're okay with us leaving the items at the door! From here, your delivery driver should proceed as if it were like #1.
⚜ In the event that we cannot reach you through chat, most experienced drivers will know how to call you as a last resort before returning the items to the store, so keep eyes and ears out for either a chat message or a phone call👀👂😉

🛒🚶‍♀️ What to expect from your Instacart shopper 🛒🚶‍♂️

_________________

Instacart classifies their employees (independent contractors) in two categories:
1. Shopper Only 🛒
2. Full Service Shopper 🚗

To expand:
○ #1 means an Instacart employee who shops for your groceries in store only and stages your groceries in a designated location within that store, where your items are ready and waiting for you to pickup at a later time. When you later arrive at the store, you'll usually park in a designated spot and a store employee (*NOT* an Instacart employee) will bring your groceries out to your vehicle. An example store is Publix!
⚜ These orders are not eligible for tipping, seeing as us Instacart employees are only shopping your groceries!

○ #2 means an Instacart employee who shops for your groceries in store and then delivers your groceries to your home or an address of your choosing!
⚜ The address does not have to be yours! You can 💯% shop for a friend or a family member by using their address as the delivery address. They even have an option to shop for "gifts" from you to your recipient!!!
⚜ If you need to leave further instructions for delivery than just plugging in the address, the Instacart app has a special section designed specifically for delivery instructions. **This can range from gate codes, to landmarks, to navigating a hard to find address beyond getting to the driveway, to requesting "no ring, no knock", ect. ❗This section is seen by most shoppers once they have checked out at the register, so specific instructions for shopping need to be relayed to your shopper through the app chat messaging!

📢 Welcome to my new blog:
Instacart with Autie !!!

I'll start with an introduction.

I, Autie, am a diamond 💎 badge (I'll explain this in another post) full-service Instacart shopper since November 2021. Daily, yes, 7 days a week😅, I shop the:

● Hoschton Publix (6055 GA-124, Hoschton, GA 30548),
● Jefferson Kroger (1685 Old Pendergrass Rd, Jefferson, GA 30549),
● Jefferson Publix (51 Old Farm Rd, Jefferson, GA 30549) OR the
● Jefferson Aldi (1718 Old Pendergrass Rd, Jefferson, GA 30549)

Then deliver orders to your home!

___________

•Tuesdays-Fridays, I am available to start accepting batches anytime after 1pm, while Saturdays-Mondays, I usually start working from 10:30am. All those day, I pretty much close the stores out, provided there are still orders. So yes, that means you can place orders anytime up to the time a store shuts😉! Check out your local stores to see what times they shut!
⚜ If placing an order near a store's closing time, keep in mind, your Instacart employee needs enough time to shop your entire order before the store shuts⏳

•I am in these stores so often, their employees know me as a regular and I have the layout of their products down to a science. This is an advantage when completing orders because:

A. It reduces the amount of time spent in the store searching for items and
B. If an item is out on the shelf, I can ask all the familiar faces to check the back in case there is backstock!

•Typically, a shopper like me can be identified by their badge next to their picture once they have accepted your order, so rest easy knowing you're in good hands😊

•In all my blog posts, if you see a ⚜, I'm throwing out some tips and reminders that you may not have heard yet, so keep your 👀 peeled😉

‼To close this post out, please feel free to reach out with any questions, comments, concerns or feedback!!! Us Instacart employees are always dealing with mandatory updates, so things change often and we ourselves are constantly evolving and learning!!! I look forward to interacting with y'all!!!
