Key Weakness

Systematic delivery window deception where promised times change after checkout

"I placed my order because the app clearly showed a delivery window of 5:15–6:30 PM. After checkout, the time kept getting pushed back"

I’ve tried and tried to get information about how to get my Pharmacy delivered and it keeps leading me to Instacart but then there’s no help

I just got a notification that my 12 o’clock pick up turned into 6 PM pick up. I am not OK with that!!

This is my six year with Instacart membership and the last year has been horrible. I have half a year left and am done. I have had 2 experiences wh...
