Used it for the first time yesterday. Felt under the weather but wasn't going to eat if I didn't. Had to make a couple of adjustments and they were cool about it. Then today, I discovered some sweet peppers were riddled with black spots and they just refunded me no problems.

Not worth it under normal circumstances but it came in handy.

I've found them pretty good about that as long as you set the replacement setting. It would be nice if those carried on and I could make a set and then copy it and modify it to make active. I know how to do this with databases, but it's not that easy.
I suspect their lawyers don't want to encroach upon amazon and their way of making lists.

That doesn't mean the prices aren't marked up. Just go to any supermarket's website and look at the prices there versus the ones at that same store but on instacart.

Here's a second supermarket chain I looked at, also marked up prices:

facts but im not too big on walmart meat. I use walmart+ for most stuff then use instacart for costco meats because higher quality and a lot more bang for buck.

Tried this with curbside a few times last year and it always played out the same
>Order week's worth of groceries
>Items removed due to being out of stock, even though I ordered in advance
>Wrong quantities of items
>Item substitutions that make no sense (eg: red pepper flakes subbed for turmeric
>Drive back to store to refund unwanted substitutes and buy or substitute the missing items

Every fucking time. Walmart was even worse; I got less than half of the items I actually ordered and just went across the street to Aldi. I guess this is the kind of shit that happens when wagies are rich enough to live on take out.

Ordering something in advance isn't magically going to make it impossible to go out of stock.

If you wagies weren't retarded and boxed up the advanced orders before stocking shelves it would.

[Anonymous No.18041690]

>>18041647
Orders are shopped shortly before pick up otherwise they would have to organize space to store hundreds of carts of advanced orders, then there would be spending all their time going back there every time someone changed something in their order and not to mention all the frozen and refrigerated stuff would go bad and all the carts are missing because they are being used to hold people's online orders. It's not practical to change the entire format of a store to a grocery cart warehouse just because you're a lazy fatass that can't deal with the fact that sometimes things aren't in stock.

[Anonymous No.18041730]

I use it for all my grocery shopping. No more driving, fighting for a close parking spot, shitty shopping carts, idle shoppers, slow cashiers, no baggers, unloading into car, commuting home, etc.

Now, all the food I want is conveniently brought to my door and I take a 10 minute break to put it in my fridge since I work from home.

You get a crap shopper once and a while, but most of the shoppers are nice enough and make proper substitutions, you have to do a little managing but it's way less effort than going to a store. Also, leaving a decent tip really helps.

They don't show prices online. Don't believe you. Every single store on instacart has items marked up.

[Anonymous No.18041840]

>>18041827
what do you mean line items?
you pick and drive. occasionally you can do ones that is just pick - you leave the order at a designated pickup area at the front of the store and the customer picks it up at their convenience

Are you fucking retarded? I'm the one that linked to instacart showing the marked up prices, I know how to see prices on instacart.

I'm saying you can't see prices on Aldi's own website, so you can't prove your point that it's the same as instacart. The point I've been making is prices on Instacart are marked up compared to normal in-store pricing.

>I'm saying you can't see prices on Aldi's own website
That's because aldi doesn't sell groceries online, everything is done through instacart. You will have to physically go in the store to see the prices. I did look into it more though and apparently there is a small markup of a few cents at aldi, it's probably to cover the cost of the paper bags. I've done it before and even though you use the instacart app it's aldi employees that shop the order and bring it out to you, which is probably why their fees are minimal since they don't have to pay any outside works. I feel much more comfortable knowing it's an aldi worker handling my food rather than some random dirty instacart faggot that wandered in off the street. There are stores like walmart and hyvee that do their own service and there is definitely no markup for them.

I am talking about home delivery, so I guess misunderstood. the app asks you when you are at the check out how many bags to charge the customer for. but you have to make a best estimate because you have to bag the shit after the transaction is already done.
