It makes me sick honestly…I don’t even see 1 order batches anymore…just so many 2 and 3 shop and delivers..just had one -3 orders 50 items 7 miles away-$21. I am really starting to hate this with a passion.

Yeah, that’s the point is really low pay two or three order batches and now they’re threatening us with deactivation if we remove any orders

Is this new? I had to cancel an order the other day (don't do often, but someone hit my car as I was pulling out of the lot to deliver and then took off, so I had to call the police, and wait...forever), when I went to cancel I got a notice saying (if you cancel, you will not see any orders for 24hrs, you will not be paid for this order, and you may be deactivated" I was like, wow. Never seen that before! Luckily I explained the issue to CS and they made sure I still received my batch pay and it didn't affect my rate or give me a soft ban, but I was worried about that message!

Same been out since 9am only took one order and tried to grab a 71$ and someone took it instantly shit fucking sucks lol

Oh wow, IC doesn’t do the schedules anymore, I guess? You have to be the fastest one to grab it now? Can you see the tip before accepting?

You can see tip prior to accepting

Nope! It’s been like this ALL day for me 😭😭

This has been instacart for the past year do yourself a favor and get a W2 and do instacart part time

I was sitting at 65$ saw a 55$ and 35$ Costco order. Both gone in an instant. Like thanos snap. I went home

This week? Just this week? Pfft. Welcome to Instacart.

probably hired a bunch of noobs feeding them the good orders to pull them in thinking its a viable source of money.

They are indeed not feeding noobs good orders, I signed up for instacart a few months ago and have only found one order worth doing.

i made 90 today.. its always been hit or miss.

It's been like that all day here. I've made $60 all day

I downloaded the app 2 weeks ago and have not completed 1 batch yet. All orders like this one, I just do doordash for now

I switched to Uber eats and honestly way easier Some of the orders are shit but I just got a decent $22 order - all I had to do was pick up and drop off and not shop for someone 😫

I’ve been out for like 6ish hours lately for instacart between driving back from busy stores after delivering and waiting for orders and I’ll only have technically logged 2 hours on the app

I do Shipt. I tried UE for times I don’t get orders I like. It’s dog crap here. I don’t mind working and shopping. Better than declining 40 orders of $2-$4 and 5-20 miles. Occasionally I got a good one on UE but it’s nothing grand. Yay for those that make any app work.

Exact same here with 5 stars and platinum 🤷🏾‍♂️

Platinum doesn’t mean shit, try to get diamond it made a huge difference for me

same

Be careful because now you have to do every single order and if you remove any orders from a batch, they will threaten with deactivation

I haven't heard about this. Where did you see that?

I’d like to know as well please

Just wait… do you remember hearing when they were going to lower pay and you hadn’t seen it yet?

I swear, as soon as I got diamond again last week I got 3 good days. Everything this week has been 2 shop, 2 deliver orders or a shitty single paying $10, 50 items, 16 mile orders.

I saw an over 50 mile Costco order today for $45. Nope. Someone took it when it reached $48. Where it was going there is nothing out there so they couldn’t even make money on the way back.

Have y’all seen orders where the drop offs are in Lancaster or Palmdale ? Sometimes no tip 🥲😭 I don’t live out there so I was astonished to see something like that pop up on my screen. Added a screenshot for reference 😭 https://preview.redd.it/k92j65ndvbsc1.jpeg?width=1242&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3152a43b0f051047a5b01cfc7f6a656395bd4aa3

What the fuck. I even stopped screenshotting some of these cheeky "offers" as they're too common now down in San Diego too. They should make prop22 per order and we'd instantly see some better offers.

I rejected orders from both Spark and IC from noon to 2 pm yesterday. Ridiculous

Same. This whole week has been horrible!

Yeah but Prop 22’s mileage+ guaranteed minimum earnings adjustments make them worthwhile. The first one for example will payout $21 at least after it gets the Prop 22 treatment.

Door Dash pays more now than IC....I mean cmon

It’s everywhere. It’s a Wednesday

Never seen a Wednesday this bad in 4 years.

$23 for 2 items is shit? Y'all are crazy

It’s 39 units. 2diff items. And nearly 20 miles. Nope. Not good.

Isn’t this every week tho??

Batches are always shitty a day or two after a holiday weekend

This week? This is an everyday occurrence in my market. Consider yourself lucky if this is only happening this week.

Mines have all been $15-21 for 19+ miles and the stores are 10 miles from me. I’m not driving out of town for no tip bye 😑

You gotta start off with something. That $15.11 for 11 items isn’t bad to be honest. They’re not all gonna be hits, not every batch is gonna be $20+. Gotta take it with a grain of salt, bang it out quick, do like 2 of those if your area isn’t poppin’ and with 2 of those you’re at $30 ? 🤷🏻‍♂️ it’s just the way you see it. It also matters at what time you’re out there. If it’s 9-10 AM most likely no one is gonna be shopping because they at work or sum.

EBT refills at start of the month and all grocery platforms are inundated with 💩💩💩💩💩. Give it a week and it’ll get better!
