My instacart delivery person asked if I wanted to add toilet paper and paper towels when she saw them in store... I immediately said yes. They were not shown as available. Definitely appreciated that. Gave an extra cash tip.
Yup, I'm high risk so really can't go out... so you delivery people are true life savers... but guys.. please take care... it's crazy out there. God Bless.
Just did 2800 in a week. My average was 400 per day, but I just hit a $500 day. That being said I do 12 hour days so if you hustle and learn your stores you can go far right now during these times.
I did 3 yesterday and made $208 had I started at 9am I would have made much more. I only do this part time. Work 4-5 hours a day if that. My goal is to make $1000 this week. God told me to do this. He’s blessing! Thank you Jesus!
Eno you have to pay income tax at the end of the year on the money you make as an independent contractor. Save 20-30% of your Instacart money to pay taxes on it
Been watching alot of instacart videos and this video definitely gives some of the best advice. With that said, $350 a day is not realistic except for maybe California and even that's a stretch. I think for the majority of people doing this full time $100+ a day is a solid goal. I try to make at least $100 a day but factor in gas, taxes, and maintenance so really try to bring in $120-$130 a day.
I find that young people living in crappy studio apartments pay better than the boomer generation living in mansions. At least that’s the experience I’ve had here in Boston. Some people are not willing to give a good tip no matter how long they make you wait or how much work you put in to getting them the best order. Just because they can afford it doesn’t mean they’ll be kind enough to give it to you. I got a $4 tip in large order and drove 20 minutes and had to wait another 10 minute for the customer to get to the door. This was a mansion btw.
1. You absolutely answered my query to how this works. Although I'd be the grocery recipient. Need to know. 2. YAY! Cold separated from the other things! I always have to ask even though I split them up. Get those cold items in the fridge/freezer asap! 3. Bread or similar items on top. How difficult to have the common sense. That & a pie placed in a bag on its side instead of facing upward! Thanks for the sharing. I'd much rather do what you're doing than being the recipient. NEVER take your physical health for granted. 🍃🕊🍃
Hey Reezy, Brad here. I used to do rideshare with the usual suspects until the virus wiped that game out in my area. My background check for Instacart was approved just now and I’m planning to go out and get in the groove with it tomorrow morning. Looking forward to being on the go. I did all the training content Instacart provides and been binging on your content, which is better. Practical and makes good sense. I’ll put what you shared to good use. Whatever I’m doing my goal is to deliver value. It pays back most of the time and keeps me in a positive frame of mind. Keep the videos coming.
Bro, it took me almost the full video to notice ur shirt, but that’s epic! Old school, takes me back. Thumbs up if you remember reading rainbow or wishbone, the talking/reading dog.
I am kinda new to this but I want to give you few tips I have learned from my shopping experience,dont pick order with lot of meat in it,because if customer requests 5lb beef,it will take lot of time to find what customer requests.Remember every minute of your time is money.And if there are lot of produce items,pick that one.They are easy to find and usually employee is in the produce section if you need help with something to find.And deli items can be pain in the AZ to find.if you can find order without deli items,pick that one.And also pick order with less items even if it pays less.My favorite store to shop is Costco or bj.Even though store is big,lot if items can be easily found..These are just few tips that can help you to shop faster.Remember every minute of your time is money,and your goal is to complete order soon as possible.If you are new like me,dont pick big orders,pick order with less items until you learn the store where items are.And get the orders from costco,bj and target.Target is good,because there are few grocery aisles and you can finish your shopping faster.
Yeah I just started this past Friday 8-12-22 and have done 9 orders so far and have made 133...I haven't done any straight for xxxx amt of hours just here and there but as of now customers have 1 day to increase tip and 2hr to decrease which I think is good although it is kinda shady to me that they can decrease it since we're basically footing the gas as a courtesy and I'm in a rural area
I make a note of the addresses that don’t tip just because they can and I don’t take their orders. And I’ve also had two customers that said they never got their order after I handed it to them. This is a trick so you don’t get to take a pic. I’m assuming IC is tracking these dishonest people.
Dope tip on waiting to put the ties on produce until ur in line. Another thing i jus started doing is if i see a bunch of produce items, i grab a bunch of the plastic produce bags and get all of them opened up, put them in the cart and THEN start grabbing produce. This way i dont have to keep stopping to open up the bags. That shit is a pain in the ass when you have gloves on
That's really high for an hourly rate. Clearly there isn't enough drivers in your smaller city. Here in Orange County I have friends who are doing it that are doing everything right only averaging $20-25 hr right now during Corona.
Don't you also have to subtract gas and car wear? Just like uber, these numbers seem great but it's basically trading fast cash for wearing down your car (less money later)
Danny Vega Yes you do, but I had an hourly wage job where I drove 2hr round trip each day the week and put wear and tear on my car plus gas and hourly jobs you have to pay taxes but most people don’t subtract that from their hourly wage.
I work at my dads bbq place. Grub hub has been insane. our business is up and we only do take out. All new faces, most drivers say "I just started" this has been on my mind. Great Video Reezy!
Bro you will make so much cash if u get one guy and get a scooter to work for u to do Uber eats or etc n also deliver for you u will make bank and expand
Love the video! Tons of info! Def do more videos like this! Love seeing legit ways to make money that are not the 9-5. What about videos where you make money at home lets say you cant go out.
Sooo, I just started working with instacart and I havnt done my first batch yet. Something funky is going on with the notifications. I dont always get the automatic new batch alert. I have to keep swiping for new batches. for instance, woke up this morning, 3 minutes later I get an automatic new batch alert. of course someone beat me to it and accepted it. for the rest of the day, not one batch alerted me unless I did a manual refresh. but with that said, a new batch pops up and it disappeared in less than a second. seems like an underlying issue to me.
Interesting video. As an Instacart customer, I'm glad to see you can make money doing this service. I'd probably be doing it myself if I had a car. Good advice to Shoppers about getting meat and frozen stuff last - this is one of my pet peeves, seeing my shopper grab frozen stuff like ice-cream first. One frustrating thing I see with Instacart and others like UberEats, and Skip the Dishes - they follow the gps without looking at any written directions on the order. StD's almost always drives into the church parking lot next door to me, then they have to phone me because they can't find me. Or, if they do get the correct driveway, they drive right past the front door where I'm waiting for them, (with a shopping cart), and drive into our back parking lot. One other thing - Shoppers: please check the Expiration dates and grab the freshest available. I recently got an item that was 6 months past it's date, and quite a bit of dairy & bread that only has a few days left. On my last delivery, as I emptied the bags, I found a 3X5 card with a note from my shopper thanking me for the order. I was very touched by this, and I still have the card. Well done!
The thank you card idea is very genius unfortunately the location thing is a function of the way the apps utilize the mapping systems in the phone they all need to add a feature for customers that continually have problems with drivers not being able to find them that would supersede the pin location or force the pin to your actual location. None of the apps do this but as a customer you should be able to see the point on the map where the driver is going to and not just put your address in and hope the mapping system has the pain in the right place
Love doing this. But the APP is really messed up. It gives me stores 3 towns over sometimes. I tired wiping the batch, resetting location, and reinstalling the app. Nothing fixes it. Unless I actually go near the store.
I also see orders that are one or two towns over, but that’s no more than 10 miles away, I think when the order volume is low, it shows you those to try and give you something. Its a feature, not a bug. If you don’t want to do them, don’t do them 🤷♂️?
I like ordering from Instacart because the shopper will let me know when something is out and ask about substitutions, unlike Walmart pickup that will just leave stuff out if it’s out of stock.
Things have changed unfortunately. I just started it in Orange County, California and I’m lucky if I can get 2 orders for about $30 a day. It’s horrible there is so much competition and nobody seems to be ordering.
I've been doing instacart since July of 2019. It's a really good concept but recently I notice that they are not paying people right for the number of items and driving. For example, I was looking through the batch list and notice a batch where there were 3 full-service orders all in one and 25 miles of driving to deliver the groceries to 3 different places and Instacart only charge 21 dollars. That is very little at paying especially when you have to shop for 3 people, ring it up, bag it up, and you have to drive 25 miles to deliver the groceries to 3 different houses. In this pandemic, they should pay more especially in Multi order batches. I had a batch where the customer had 300 ITEMS and it was a 14-mile drive. Her whole total came out to 1032 and I had 3 carts full of groceries. Instacart only charged me 50 dollars for the amount of heavy lifting, bagging the order, and also bringing all those groceries by myself to their door. The amount is too little for the amount of work we are doing in this pandemic. It's a good money maker but you are getting more customers than usual so I understand multi-order batches and big batches coming through but you need to pay right for the amount of mileage you need to drive and the number of items there is.
@@ah-ss7he it was around 2 hours. Especially when the Instacart's List is unorganized, I have to keep scrolling back and forth so I dont miss anything in each aisle. I dont like to go back and forth, it gets me frustrated.🤣
Reezy> Love your tips, I too just started and find this a fun game of speed, skill, and communication. Your tips are perfect. I didn't know you could send snaps to guests! Love it all, and your enthusiasm. You're hired! Keep up the excitement!
Nice. I started the sign up process for Instacart but never finished. I don’t think it was available in my town at the time but I’m gonna give this a try. My Amazon stuff is selling but the more money the better. Thanks Reezy 🙏!
I just started today, quick question. For example, I have an Albertsons next door to my house and the app wants to route me 10 miles away to another Albertsons, then drop off to the customer a few miles from my current location. Can I go to the Albertsons by my house or do I have to go to the one in the app?
Jason sometimes you can go to a different Albertsons, but beware, because not all stores are linked with instacart. That being said, one way to find out if that store works with instacart is if you see them pop up on your app on a different order
I just want everyone to know that these earnings are IN NO WAY indicative of what you will actually make. Idk if maybe other regions pay a lot more than here, but where I live, batches pay between $10-20 each. And you really can't get one done in much less than an hour.
Pay does vary greatly by area as it’s based on supply of drivers and demand of orders. Also this was filmed back in March when Covid first started and grocery delivery was booming. Thanks for the comment. Nowadays (at least in my area) DoorDash pays more
It's definitely region based! I typically make $25 to $35 per order. Sometimes I'll make like $50 or so if I feel like doing a larger order. Bigger orders take me about 1 to 1.5 hours and smaller ones take me about 25 mins.
Great vids man. Added tip: Idk what it's like elsewhere, but here in LA Sprouts is pretty horrible about the social distancing and letting a certain # of shoppers into the store at a time. BE AWARE of which stores are doing this in your areas! Don't waste your precious time in line just trying to get in!
@@ReezyResells I totally agree communication is key. I will text my customer to say I got the last cereal on the shelf etc... customers sometimes give cash tips once you get there for great customer service. Often this is on top if the tip they already left online.
been doing instacart for awhile (nashville,TN) they changed their pay structure used to be around .75-.80 cents an item but they keep reducing the pay to around .40-.50 cents an item and now offering plans like ( 150$+ for 15 orders) or even more recently (150$ for 18 orders) within a week time span. Also with everything in chaos a lot of the stores lack some of these items so every item you dont pick up is reduced from your payout. which should be but hoping you were going to make 15-20$ than walk away with maybe 12-13 for an hours work kinda sucks. They even started hiding the peak pay symbol so people dont try to grab them first. The only ones I do are the heavy pay or maybe satuday-sunday night where theres maybe 1 or 2 good orders and walk away on a weekend with 40$ at most
Question: In my area stores are starting to limit the number of people in the store at the same time, including Walmart are you running across this problem and it seems like it will effect this program.
Check and see they will either let you in before others or let you come through rear delivery area like Costco does. Sam's Club will let you in first. Just show them your lanyard and active batch.
Hey Reezy, I just wanted to thank you for your awesome videos! Some of your tips of really helped me for example asking a client if they wanted disinfecting wipes when I finally saw some on the shelves. The instacart Shopper was so excited and grateful thanks to your tip. I had not seen them since I started doing instacart. I've been a dental hygienist for years and had to make a career change due to the coronavirus and high risk of exposure in the dental field we were considered number one 4 Contracting the virus do to the aerosols. Your videos have helped me to be successful with instacart and I love the freedom that it has provided for me. Your tips have been so key to being successful and I'm very grateful for your videos. Thank you so much
Just remember!! Income with it is not yet taxed. So make sure to file what you make at the end of the year. I work with Instacart in Windsor, Ontario. Made over $1,000 last week.
Publix store in my area has a limit of 2...ugh its frustrating but thanks to the hoarders. It was my first day doing instacart and people were so nice!
Great video. I was just wondering how the Instacart shoppers got paid, how much and how the whole system works. We just signed up for Instacart (customer membership) used it for the first time yesterday. My wife wanted to do it even though I still prefer to go to the grocery store myself. I'm pretty picky when getting meat, chicken, pork, etc so I went to the store myself yesterday just to get those few items I'm picky about and Instacart delivered the rest. It was what looked like a sister-sister team (two girls) and they got the order here within an hour and a half of placing the order. It was about $200 in groceries, Instacart prices of course, and we tipped the girls 15%. I would imagine a team of two can do the shopping much quicker leaving more time in the day for extra deliveries. I'm glad people are able to make a decent living in these tough times.
Yes two people is much faster but unfortunately taking someone with you is against the terms of service. You can get your account closed for dual shipping
Wait. So you have to physically go get everything off the shelves? I thought the items are already ready in the store and all u do is pick it up and deliver
Enjoyed your video. I'm on day 3. I made a lil over $100 for 4 batches today. Almost $300 for all 9 batches so far this week. Not too shabby. In my area theres 2 main stores we shop from so getting the layout of the store down won't take anytime at all. Good hustle for sure.
Easily make 100 a day but could make more. So far largest tip this week was $36. Batches normally are never an issue in my area...averaging 6-8 to choose from at a time.
@@user-ci6xc2yx9o absolutely struggling to break 30 dollars a day, literally 2 weeks ago cracking 70 bucks (for my area is good) easily but not anymore :(
If it's Walmart just go on the app... Open it and it knows what Walmart your at just type in product it tell you exact location. I use it and I don't even do instacart lol
Over here in South Texas the guarantee pay ranges from around 8 to 18..it's rare to complete a batch that's over 20 guarantee ..so in my opinion..it just depends on where you live
@Toni Stewart good eye.I am in Atlanta and rarely see large orders because they disappear quickly. That is wise you noticed the number of items before accepting. Most shoppers look at the dollar amount and dont realize the large number of items will keep them in the store for a long time.
Idk about telling people you can make $300+ in an 8hr day. Instacart averages about $20hr before tips in a major city like Los Angeles. This is coming from a diamond driver who has done thousands of orders and has a high efficiency process for shopping. You can make close to $200-$250 on instacarts busiest day which is Sunday but would require you to work at least 8-10 hours. Good helpful video though!!!
Thanks for your comment. This was made at the beginning of the pandemic (3 years ago) before they hired a ton of new drivers, so yeah this was the reality at that time.
Do your very best to find a replacement they are ok with. Otherwise you lose money if you give them a refund. Even customers that say they only want that item will often be ok with a replacement close to original item.. in my experience
I didn't see you texting the customer that they were out of that item; plus seeing the substitution screen; but great points and side showing screen of app when doing it; more detail on perishables and how Instacart keeps track to say which is best to do first for them.
Contacting the customer is for sure more likely to get better subs, but they have the option to specify subs if they want, and some prefer not to be contacted. Always get the cold stuff last, try to pick produce that you would pick for yourself
I did this for about couple of weeks at about 109 degrees or more out side temps with AC running none stop, but you can't make this much as it claims at least in Santa Clarita where I live in southern California. I made about 700 dollars in 10 days working 10hrs a day. Not worth it. Gave up completely. When you consider the tax I have to pay at the end, gas, car maintenance it is a complete loss. Most of the times batches aren't available. You just sitting in the car glued to the screen. At times batches are disappearing at lightning speed right in front of your eyes. It is that fast you just see only the first number. No human can grab a batch like that because you even don't know what city. The app does not track where you are. I got batches 70 miles away from me frequently which is ridiculous. Bot activity I guess stealing the batches. Even a good size batch is available ... let's say 60 dollar or 70 dollar (if you think this is good) one with 90 items (may be more) with 2 deliveries or three, then you spend three hours in this to complete with all the driving. Is it really worth it??? I think not. Some of the items that people order through website the employees even don't know where they are and you run around asking every employee that you come across (if there are any) looking for this item or two or three wasting your time and you finally give up and refund those items. Nothing you can do at that point. Customer does not understand this or what you go through. At the and with all that work they give you a lower rating. They don't give a crap about you or your effort. Some of the batches no tip included. That tells you everything. DONE
I have never been asked to scan a receipt.... thats odd. I've noticed there are differences in the app depending on your location. I got a $60 cash tip from Torrington, CT yesterday. Some customers give a little cash tip on delivery. ;)
My area I work is East Dallas about 30-40 miles you can hit $200 a day here. The morning is where it’s at. Usually you can make $120-$150 by lunch time, then it really slows down around 3 or 4 pm. Still my wife and I are doing this part time just a few batches here and there and making $1,200 combined. We would work more but we have a toddler and infant and one has to watch them while the other works.
I think instcart depends a lot on your location. I'm in Dallas and in about 15 hours I made 140$ so definitely not as much as you but it's still a good side hustle.
Hey Reezy! We're practically neighbors and you inspired me. I watched the video with you and your daughter. Today is my first day out there with IC, super nervous. Never done this kind of work before but so ready to get going since being furloughed from a "non essential" job 3 weeks ago. Thank you!
Yes do not be a lazy goon and take your shopping cart back to where it's supposed to go. Yes yes yes I agree I agree thanks for saying that. We can't even count how many people have scratched up for dinged up cars from shopping carts blowing in the wind hit somebody's car because somebody didn't push the basket back.
Reezy Resells also as you make that money . Leave some saved for for next years taxes and HAVE car gas proof and mileage proof so you don’t have to pay that much !
Please help me. I applied for instacart 5 days ago. I received my credit card, attached my debit, and did all the paperwork and criminal check and background check I mean all and it says to start earning money please complete training and when I click on alcohol training or goes to the next page to sign in and I never can sign in, nothing moves or anything...what should i do?
I live in DFW and even here you would have to do a lot more to make that, def wouldn't happen in 8 hours. DFW loves $8 + no tip 20 mile 60 piece batches and my best tips come from the poorest neighborhoods. There are certain areas of the US that pay really well and shoppers pull crazy numbers but it's not feasible for everyone.
I used to do Instacart and wanted to do it part time to make some extra money 💰 but our car insurance won’t cover us to do delivery of anything. 😪. I just resell on Amazon
WildStyle Vloggs I had a customer make so many changes on a 12 item order and was really rude. In the middle of the order I cancelled the batch and took care of someone else order.
This sounds like a nightmare. What if you text your customer about a substitution and they don't text back for 20 minutes? What if you got tired of waiting and already checked out and left? Do you have to go all the way back now?
Unfortunately I’ve been doing IC here in NY it’s impossible to make 300 here, the batches are mostly small here if it’s a big batch you gotta travel 20 miles for it. NY has too many IC drivers unfortunately
I just started doing this last week and I love it! I'm not much of a shopper but I will do it when someone is paying me. I don't make that much in our area - typically anywhere between 15-25 per order. I think we have a lot of shoppers but my batch is always full so I could work all day and still not have an empty batch. Our store, though, is out of so many things it's really sad. Thanks for this video!
Instacart always feeds me. I’m always conflicted though. I’d love to tip cash so it doesn’t have to be declared but the one time I know somebody did that whomever was getting the groceries didn’t try very hard, and left without even alerting them that their groceries were outside. I’m assuming they thought they weren’t getting a tip? I always tip a minimum of 35 in addition to the 10 dollar fee
I think instacart pay greatly depends on the state too. I do instacart in MD and I am currently in OH. Their rates are not the best, it’s so discouraging. In MD you will find orders up to a $100 but here in OH, $20 and less is the order of the day, Sometimes even the pay for 2 orders. That’s crazy
this guy should say how much he did the other days , not just his lucky day. I hope he is telling the truth, not just telling shit to make video. Besides the risk that people face being in stores for the virus don't have price
This was not a “lucky day” lol - when I get batches I do $45/hour pretty regularly - especially before the bots started kicking in, now it’s harder w the bots taking all the batches but around here $45/hour is normal. I ran into a guy who was doing $450-$500 a day and making $3K a week - I don’t work that much but it’s rad to know it’s possible, or it was before the bots
I was doing $3000 a week in my area 3 years ago. Last year and this year we are lucky to make $500 a week. 12 hours a day 7 days a week spent looking at your phone. My market is oversaturated with shoppers and now bots are taking the orders faster then you can click on a order. If you can get a order you just have to accept it without looking at it. Most of the time you click accept and it says someone else took it.
Very good video! You covered a lot of bases. My biggest Instacart lifesaver has been my collapsible wagon! This saves me so much time and strain by carting up to the door in one trip. My other tip is one thing he mentioned: The reusable message to the customer. I save this message in my notes app and copy it, accept the order and then go straight to messages and past the text changing the name to the current customer. I want us all to succeed so I’m sharing the message here: Hello Yolanda! 🛒 My name is Troy and I have just started shopping for you. My goal is to provide you with excellent service! Please let me know if you have any questions, if you would like to add anything to your order, or anything else I can help you with. I’ve shopped for hundreds of others and I’m happy for the opportunity to be shopping for you. 🙂 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Please let me know if there’s anything I can do to provide you with a 5-Star experience today! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I will also keep you informed as I shop as to what is not available. That is what I send every single time and after 3 years shopping with Instacart I’ve never received less than a 5 Star review. I also concentrate more on being correct then fast. I want to shop quickly but more importantly I want the customer to be happy with the products I deliver. Thanks again for the great video!!! Troy in SoCal
@S.B Go to Walmart and get the wagon in the camping aisle. It runs $50.00 +. Worth every penny. Also I get stickers from the Dollar tree Store to use when I have 2 or more orders, especially when the are large. Easier to load up at check out. Always double check.
Another trick for people out there is that if you have an iphone you can replace text like these with pre-text. If you type cart1 on your text, it will pop the entire message for you "Hello Yolanda! 🛒 My name is Troy and I have just started shopping for you. My goal is to provide you with excellent service!..." I also do that for my airbnb guests responses
this is interesting, i have been doing doordash on weekends, during the week, taking care of the house as a full rime dad and selling furniture n the side (trash to treasure) I never thought of doing this during the down times
question for anyone who does this. I just tried to sign up, and i'm on the "waitlist" for being a shopper. did any of you have this happen? and if so, how long did it take them to let you in??
SIGN UP FOR INSTACART bit.ly/reezycart
My instacart delivery person asked if I wanted to add toilet paper and paper towels when she saw them in store... I immediately said yes. They were not shown as available. Definitely appreciated that. Gave an extra cash tip.
What a killer driver!
How big of a tip did you give?
i never thought of that..great idea
I guess when they running out stock they make a viable to those whom go to the store 🏬
Was that before or after Taco Tuesday?
Averaging $100 per day. I only do five or six runs. I really like the work and the people I’m helping. It’s a God send.
Yay!!
Yup, I'm high risk so really can't go out... so you delivery people are true life savers... but guys.. please take care... it's crazy out there. God Bless.
Thank you for doing the work that you do.
That's me too! I've been hitting 150 lately
may day facts man
Just did 2800 in a week. My average was 400 per day, but I just hit a $500 day. That being said I do 12 hour days so if you hustle and learn your stores you can go far right now during these times.
Hell yeah stack it while you can!! This post goes out to all the naysayer!! Instacart is crushing the game rn
What state/city are you in just wondering
Dude wish I could make that much in a day, I'm new and averaging $500 a week doing this for 3 days. It's my side hustle
So what time you start? What city 😆 good job!
Terry Terry yes this is very possible, in nyc my friends are averaging $2500/week
I respect this man so much he's always hustling to make that money an extremely hard worker
Mad respect!Hard work
Instacart Shopper and New Ypu Tuber here!!!🥕🥕🥕
Yah
Lol
I did 3 yesterday and made $208 had I started at 9am I would have made much more. I only do this part time. Work 4-5 hours a day if that. My goal is to make $1000 this week. God told me to do this. He’s blessing! Thank you Jesus!
Yay
SAME God is good!!
Just make sure to put away 20-25% away for taxes!
@@l0vexmonica yes how does that work? please give more info
Eno you have to pay income tax at the end of the year on the money you make as an independent contractor. Save 20-30% of your Instacart money to pay taxes on it
Been watching alot of instacart videos and this video definitely gives some of the best advice. With that said, $350 a day is not realistic except for maybe California and even that's a stretch. I think for the majority of people doing this full time $100+ a day is a solid goal. I try to make at least $100 a day but factor in gas, taxes, and maintenance so really try to bring in $120-$130 a day.
You got me started with eBay in January. Still followin the hustle. Much respect Michael. GOD BLESS
The people who buy healthier foods like organic and such will most likely pay more in tips because they can afford it.
Yeo
So not true. U have no idea what u are talking about. This is the dumbest comment I seen all day.
I find that young people living in crappy studio apartments pay better than the boomer generation living in mansions. At least that’s the experience I’ve had here in Boston. Some people are not willing to give a good tip no matter how long they make you wait or how much work you put in to getting them the best order. Just because they can afford it doesn’t mean they’ll be kind enough to give it to you. I got a $4 tip in large order and drove 20 minutes and had to wait another 10 minute for the customer to get to the door. This was a mansion btw.
Or, they spend all their money on organic foods and have none left over for tips.
Not all the time
1. You absolutely answered my query to how this works. Although I'd be the grocery recipient. Need to know.
2. YAY! Cold separated from the other things! I always have to ask even though I split them up. Get those cold items in the fridge/freezer asap!
3. Bread or similar items on top. How difficult to have the common sense. That & a pie placed in a bag on its side instead of facing upward!
Thanks for the sharing. I'd much rather do what you're doing than being the recipient.
NEVER take your physical health for granted. 🍃🕊🍃
Hey Reezy, Brad here. I used to do rideshare with the usual suspects until the virus wiped that game out in my area. My background check for Instacart was approved just now and I’m planning to go out and get in the groove with it tomorrow morning. Looking forward to being on the go. I did all the training content Instacart provides and been binging on your content, which is better. Practical and makes good sense. I’ll put what you shared to good use. Whatever I’m doing my goal is to deliver value. It pays back most of the time and keeps me in a positive frame of mind. Keep the videos coming.
Bro, it took me almost the full video to notice ur shirt, but that’s epic! Old school, takes me back. Thumbs up if you remember reading rainbow or wishbone, the talking/reading dog.
Thanks!!
I'm getting a car soon and wanted to do food delivery full time and also reselling on eBay and Amazon . will follow your video to up my game
We can learn together 🤙🏼
Exactly the way to go
I am kinda new to this but I want to give you few tips I have learned from my shopping experience,dont pick order with lot of meat in it,because if customer requests 5lb beef,it will take lot of time to find what customer requests.Remember every minute of your time is money.And if there are lot of produce items,pick that one.They are easy to find and usually employee is in the produce section if you need help with something to find.And deli items can be pain in the AZ to find.if you can find order without deli items,pick that one.And also pick order with less items even if it pays less.My favorite store to shop is Costco or bj.Even though store is big,lot if items can be easily found..These are just few tips that can help you to shop faster.Remember every minute of your time is money,and your goal is to complete order soon as possible.If you are new like me,dont pick big orders,pick order with less items until you learn the store where items are.And get the orders from costco,bj and target.Target is good,because there are few grocery aisles and you can finish your shopping faster.
When you do orders at Costco, do you need a membership card to show at the door? Or do you just let them know you’re working for IC?
Yeah I just started this past Friday 8-12-22 and have done 9 orders so far and have made 133...I haven't done any straight for xxxx amt of hours just here and there but as of now customers have 1 day to increase tip and 2hr to decrease which I think is good although it is kinda shady to me that they can decrease it since we're basically footing the gas as a courtesy and I'm in a rural area
How are you paid? Daily, weekly/ by weekly?
I make a note of the addresses that don’t tip just because they can and I don’t take their orders. And I’ve also had two customers that said they never got their order after I handed it to them. This is a trick so you don’t get to take a pic. I’m assuming IC is tracking these dishonest people.
Dope tip on waiting to put the ties on produce until ur in line. Another thing i jus started doing is if i see a bunch of produce items, i grab a bunch of the plastic produce bags and get all of them opened up, put them in the cart and THEN start grabbing produce. This way i dont have to keep stopping to open up the bags. That shit is a pain in the ass when you have gloves on
@@ImDjGhost nice tip
That's really high for an hourly rate. Clearly there isn't enough drivers in your smaller city. Here in Orange County I have friends who are doing it that are doing everything right only averaging $20-25 hr right now during Corona.
$20-25 is about right, many make less particularly those that live in lower income suburbs...
I think you’re right, but I do know people w similar numbers in big cities rn
Don't you also have to subtract gas and car wear? Just like uber, these numbers seem great but it's basically trading fast cash for wearing down your car (less money later)
Danny Vega most of your time is spent driving. Most orders you only drive an average of 3 miles then you go back to that same area.
Danny Vega Yes you do, but I had an hourly wage job where I drove 2hr round trip each day the week and put wear and tear on my car plus gas and hourly jobs you have to pay taxes but most people don’t subtract that from their hourly wage.
I work at my dads bbq place. Grub hub has been insane. our business is up and we only do take out. All new faces, most drivers say "I just started"
this has been on my mind. Great Video Reezy!
Bro you will make so much cash if u get one guy and get a scooter to work for u to do Uber eats or etc n also deliver for you u will make bank and expand
Thanks for the post
Oreratile Kolisang what do you mean by get a guy?
Oreratile Kolisang we really would like to take on delivery ourself, what do you mean to do uber eats etc though?
@Gage brandt If u also do Doordash uber eats and grunhub rack all the cash my brother get more people to work for u for free
Love the video! Tons of info! Def do more videos like this! Love seeing legit ways to make money that are not the 9-5. What about videos where you make money at home lets say you cant go out.
Just approved today, the app is blowing up! 😱
😂 that’s good though.
Sooo, I just started working with instacart and I havnt done my first batch yet. Something funky is going on with the notifications. I dont always get the automatic new batch alert. I have to keep swiping for new batches. for instance, woke up this morning, 3 minutes later I get an automatic new batch alert. of course someone beat me to it and accepted it. for the rest of the day, not one batch alerted me unless I did a manual refresh. but with that said, a new batch pops up and it disappeared in less than a second. seems like an underlying issue to me.
There’s an issue going on rn, working on a video to cover it - in the meantime you can’t wait for an alert, you need to stay on the batch screen
@@ReezyResells so keep swiping like a madman? lol
Yep and cancel if it don’t make sense
Y’all remember hustler kid from Disney recess cartoon this is him now
😂
Interesting video. As an Instacart customer, I'm glad to see you can make money doing this service.
I'd probably be doing it myself if I had a car.
Good advice to Shoppers about getting meat and frozen stuff last - this is one of my pet peeves, seeing my shopper grab frozen stuff like ice-cream first.
One frustrating thing I see with Instacart and others like UberEats, and Skip the Dishes - they follow the gps without looking at any written directions on the order. StD's almost always drives into the church parking lot next door to me, then they have to phone me because they can't find me. Or, if they do get the correct driveway, they drive right past the front door where I'm waiting for them, (with a shopping cart), and drive into our back parking lot.
One other thing - Shoppers: please check the Expiration dates and grab the freshest available. I recently got an item that was 6 months past it's date, and quite a bit of dairy & bread that only has a few days left.
On my last delivery, as I emptied the bags, I found a 3X5 card with a note from my shopper thanking me for the order. I was very touched by this, and I still have the card. Well done!
The thank you card idea is very genius unfortunately the location thing is a function of the way the apps utilize the mapping systems in the phone they all need to add a feature for customers that continually have problems with drivers not being able to find them that would supersede the pin location or force the pin to your actual location. None of the apps do this but as a customer you should be able to see the point on the map where the driver is going to and not just put your address in and hope the mapping system has the pain in the right place
Love doing this. But the APP is really messed up. It gives me stores 3 towns over sometimes. I tired wiping the batch, resetting location, and reinstalling the app. Nothing fixes it. Unless I actually go near the store.
I also see orders that are one or two towns over, but that’s no more than 10 miles away, I think when the order volume is low, it shows you those to try and give you something. Its a feature, not a bug. If you don’t want to do them, don’t do them 🤷♂️?
C Berg YES! Thought it was me 😭😭 i’m surrounded by grocery stores, and yet they are sending me 45 minutes away 💁🏼♀️💁🏼♀️💁🏼♀️
Very true. I got orders popped up on my screen 70 miles away. Ridiculous and nothing you can do to fix it. It's not your fault it's them and their app
I like ordering from Instacart because the shopper will let me know when something is out and ask about substitutions, unlike Walmart pickup that will just leave stuff out if it’s out of stock.
Things have changed unfortunately. I just started it in Orange County, California and I’m lucky if I can get 2 orders for about $30 a day. It’s horrible there is so much competition and nobody seems to be ordering.
Friendly reminder, DON'T DRINK AND INSTACART - you'll order way more than you need. 🍻🍻🍻🍻
Hahaha
🤣👍
Or while hungry
I've been doing instacart since July of 2019. It's a really good concept but recently I notice that they are not paying people right for the number of items and driving. For example, I was looking through the batch list and notice a batch where there were 3 full-service orders all in one and 25 miles of driving to deliver the groceries to 3 different places and Instacart only charge 21 dollars. That is very little at paying especially when you have to shop for 3 people, ring it up, bag it up, and you have to drive 25 miles to deliver the groceries to 3 different houses. In this pandemic, they should pay more especially in Multi order batches. I had a batch where the customer had 300 ITEMS and it was a 14-mile drive. Her whole total came out to 1032 and I had 3 carts full of groceries. Instacart only charged me 50 dollars for the amount of heavy lifting, bagging the order, and also bringing all those groceries by myself to their door. The amount is too little for the amount of work we are doing in this pandemic. It's a good money maker but you are getting more customers than usual so I understand multi-order batches and big batches coming through but you need to pay right for the amount of mileage you need to drive and the number of items there is.
Depends on your area. It’s supply and demand of the drivers. I’ve never driven more than 4 miles to deliver, nor would I ever accept that much driving
wow if i you i will never accept that batch. 300 items for $50 bucks. no way i will take that
@@Shin-z I know🤣 but it was 90 dollars with the tip. But that is a one time deal. 50 dollars? C'mon Instacart. Pay better.
Mariposa D omg how long did it take you to fulfill that order????
@@ah-ss7he it was around 2 hours. Especially when the Instacart's List is unorganized, I have to keep scrolling back and forth so I dont miss anything in each aisle. I dont like to go back and forth, it gets me frustrated.🤣
Reezy> Love your tips, I too just started and find this a fun game of speed, skill, and communication. Your tips are perfect. I didn't know you could send snaps to guests! Love it all, and your enthusiasm. You're hired! Keep up the excitement!
I like the instacart videos. Im stuck in the house, so it’s nice seeing you out and about.
Thanks for the comment April
Nice. I started the sign up process for Instacart but never finished. I don’t think it was available in my town at the time but I’m gonna give this a try. My Amazon stuff is selling but the more money the better. Thanks Reezy 🙏!
I just started today, quick question. For example, I have an Albertsons next door to my house and the app wants to route me 10 miles away to another Albertsons, then drop off to the customer a few miles from my current location. Can I go to the Albertsons by my house or do I have to go to the one in the app?
Jason sometimes you can go to a different Albertsons, but beware, because not all stores are linked with instacart. That being said, one way to find out if that store works with instacart is if you see them pop up on your app on a different order
Carlos F Vilchez thank you! Yea, the Albertsons by my house pops up. That will save a lot of excess driving. 😊
Jason nice man! Stay safe out here!
Ive never had to take a picture of my receipt, i just see a button that says enter receipt information and i click it and goes next. Im in Canada btw.
Maybe different eh?
YEP, Same here in FL!! 😇🙏🏽 But stores like Publix wants you to follow arrows taped onto the floors and go through each and every aisle 😒
Alana C you don’t take pics of your receipts either?
I read somewhere else that its just regional so hopefully im not doing anything wrong but I have kept all of the old receipts just in case.
ah no ma’am!!
I just want everyone to know that these earnings are IN NO WAY indicative of what you will actually make. Idk if maybe other regions pay a lot more than here, but where I live, batches pay between $10-20 each. And you really can't get one done in much less than an hour.
Pay does vary greatly by area as it’s based on supply of drivers and demand of orders. Also this was filmed back in March when Covid first started and grocery delivery was booming. Thanks for the comment. Nowadays (at least in my area) DoorDash pays more
It's definitely region based! I typically make $25 to $35 per order. Sometimes I'll make like $50 or so if I feel like doing a larger order. Bigger orders take me about 1 to 1.5 hours and smaller ones take me about 25 mins.
Omg wait till you do a Costco or smart value order...!!! Love this channel !! Beard game on point 🙌🏾🎯
Loved the comment “don’t be one of those lazy goons....”
Great vids man.
Added tip: Idk what it's like elsewhere, but here in LA Sprouts is pretty horrible about the social distancing and letting a certain # of shoppers into the store at a time. BE AWARE of which stores are doing this in your areas! Don't waste your precious time in line just trying to get in!
First of all, awesome beard. Lastly, thank you. I tried massaging and introduced myself to the costumer; I got a $20 tip
Yep communication is key, people tip people
@@ReezyResells I totally agree communication is key. I will text my customer to say I got the last cereal on the shelf etc... customers sometimes give cash tips once you get there for great customer service. Often this is on top if the tip they already left online.
Where did you massage the customer 😂
@@mohammedsuifan3431 happy ending?
@@mohammedsuifan3431 😭😭😭🤦🏿♂️
been doing instacart for awhile (nashville,TN) they changed their pay structure used to be around .75-.80 cents an item but they keep reducing the pay to around .40-.50 cents an item and now offering plans like ( 150$+ for 15 orders) or even more recently (150$ for 18 orders) within a week time span. Also with everything in chaos a lot of the stores lack some of these items so every item you dont pick up is reduced from your payout. which should be but hoping you were going to make 15-20$ than walk away with maybe 12-13 for an hours work kinda sucks. They even started hiding the peak pay symbol so people dont try to grab them first. The only ones I do are the heavy pay or maybe satuday-sunday night where theres maybe 1 or 2 good orders and walk away on a weekend with 40$ at most
YMMV, that’s your results. I’m currently averaging over $1/unit and couldn’t make less than $45/hour if I tried
Question: In my area stores are starting to limit the number of people in the store at the same time, including Walmart are you running across this problem and it seems like it will effect this program.
Check and see they will either let you in before others or let you come through rear delivery area like Costco does. Sam's Club will let you in first. Just show them your lanyard and active batch.
Hey Reezy, I just wanted to thank you for your awesome videos! Some of your tips of really helped me for example asking a client if they wanted disinfecting wipes when I finally saw some on the shelves. The instacart Shopper was so excited and grateful thanks to your tip. I had not seen them since I started doing instacart. I've been a dental hygienist for years and had to make a career change due to the coronavirus and high risk of exposure in the dental field we were considered number one 4 Contracting the virus do to the aerosols. Your videos have helped me to be successful with instacart and I love the freedom that it has provided for me. Your tips have been so key to being successful and I'm very grateful for your videos. Thank you so much
Thanks for the comment I’m proud of you
Thank you, I'm ready to start this. 👍🏼 I subscribe to your channel and taking notes. Im very grateful to be a part of this team.
Thanks for the video Reezy. Many people are laid off right now need extra income.
Just remember!! Income with it is not yet taxed. So make sure to file what you make at the end of the year.
I work with Instacart in Windsor, Ontario. Made over $1,000 last week.
Yep just like anything be prepared to pay 1/3 of your income as taxes
Publix store in my area has a limit of 2...ugh its frustrating but thanks to the hoarders. It was my first day doing instacart and people were so nice!
Keep me updated
I'll try. But I'm shocked how much money you can make in a day! But yeah hoarders ruin everything
Great video. I was just wondering how the Instacart shoppers got paid, how much and how the whole system works. We just signed up for Instacart (customer membership) used it for the first time yesterday. My wife wanted to do it even though I still prefer to go to the grocery store myself. I'm pretty picky when getting meat, chicken, pork, etc so I went to the store myself yesterday just to get those few items I'm picky about and Instacart delivered the rest. It was what looked like a sister-sister team (two girls) and they got the order here within an hour and a half of placing the order. It was about $200 in groceries, Instacart prices of course, and we tipped the girls 15%. I would imagine a team of two can do the shopping much quicker leaving more time in the day for extra deliveries. I'm glad people are able to make a decent living in these tough times.
Yes two people is much faster but unfortunately taking someone with you is against the terms of service. You can get your account closed for dual shipping
*shopping
@@ReezyResells They both had those Instacart ID badges on their neck so I would imagine they are both registered shoppers.
Reezy Resells im almost certain i read in the contract that you are allowed to have personel under you.
Wait. So you have to physically go get everything off the shelves? I thought the items are already ready in the store and all u do is pick it up and deliver
Yes full service
In NYC, there is/was an option to do PO(Pick-up Only), which was what you described. Not sure if that's still available since Covid.
Enjoyed your video. I'm on day 3. I made a lil over $100 for 4 batches today. Almost $300 for all 9 batches so far this week. Not too shabby. In my area theres 2 main stores we shop from so getting the layout of the store down won't take anytime at all. Good hustle for sure.
Nice work!
How is everyone doing now money-wise since It's the beginning of November? Is business still great or slowed down at all in your area?
I just started yesterday and made $30 an hour, I also live in a wealthy area so that may be why
Slow as hell in Texas
Easily make 100 a day but could make more. So far largest tip this week was $36. Batches normally are never an issue in my area...averaging 6-8 to choose from at a time.
Yes lots of batches all day long but very poor pay
@@user-ci6xc2yx9o absolutely struggling to break 30 dollars a day, literally 2 weeks ago cracking 70 bucks (for my area is good) easily but not anymore :(
Dumb question, but how do you deliver? Drop off the items at the front door? Knock and hand it to them?
Either
@@ReezyResells Thnx
For some reason i suck at finding stuff when i’m getting grocery so this is probably not the best gig for me 😂😂
You can get better
If it's Walmart just go on the app... Open it and it knows what Walmart your at just type in product it tell you exact location. I use it and I don't even do instacart lol
Stay in your area, one thing that helped me is starting in my community seeing as though I knew the stores some what.
While you are shopping, you can be on the look out for clearance/sale items to flip.
Over here in South Texas the guarantee pay ranges from around 8 to 18..it's rare to complete a batch that's over 20 guarantee ..so in my opinion..it just depends on where you live
Awesome man! Thanks for sharing! Stay hustling !!
This is real I literally just seen a $90 batch. This is a real opportunity thanks for letting me know
Yes!!
@Toni Stewart good eye.I am in Atlanta and rarely see large orders because they disappear quickly. That is wise you noticed the number of items before accepting. Most shoppers look at the dollar amount and dont realize the large number of items will keep them in the store for a long time.
Lol my highest was 136$. 35 items 4 miles
Idk about telling people you can make $300+ in an 8hr day. Instacart averages about $20hr before tips in a major city like Los Angeles. This is coming from a diamond driver who has done thousands of orders and has a high efficiency process for shopping. You can make close to $200-$250 on instacarts busiest day which is Sunday but would require you to work at least 8-10 hours. Good helpful video though!!!
Thanks for your comment. This was made at the beginning of the pandemic (3 years ago) before they hired a ton of new drivers, so yeah this was the reality at that time.
What do you do if the stuff is not there when they ask for it?
you have 2 options, refund or find a suitable replacement, you can ask the customer via text what they prefer
Replace it or refund it
@@ReezyResells are you scanning the receipts on other apps for cashbacks
@@emil246 thats the legit play right there lol
Do your very best to find a replacement they are ok with. Otherwise you lose money if you give them a refund. Even customers that say they only want that item will often be ok with a replacement close to original item.. in my experience
I didn't see you texting the customer that they were out of that item; plus seeing the substitution screen; but great points and side showing screen of app when doing it; more detail on perishables and how Instacart keeps track to say which is best to do first for them.
Contacting the customer is for sure more likely to get better subs, but they have the option to specify subs if they want, and some prefer not to be contacted.
Always get the cold stuff last, try to pick produce that you would pick for yourself
I was making this and then some. No amount of money is worth my life. Blessings to you.
I saw a product I used to make in your video. Cool to see such an obscure item make it out to Cali!
What was that?
Crosse and Blackwell Mango Chutney!
It was next to an item you grabbed off of the shelf.
Good stuff. My area doesn’t have payouts quite that high but there is consistent batches available.
Get that money
I did this for about couple of weeks at about 109 degrees or more out side temps with AC running none stop, but you can't make this much as it claims at least in Santa Clarita where I live in southern California. I made about 700 dollars in 10 days working 10hrs a day. Not worth it. Gave up completely. When you consider the tax I have to pay at the end, gas, car maintenance it is a complete loss. Most of the times batches aren't available. You just sitting in the car glued to the screen. At times batches are disappearing at lightning speed right in front of your eyes. It is that fast you just see only the first number. No human can grab a batch like that because you even don't know what city. The app does not track where you are. I got batches 70 miles away from me frequently which is ridiculous. Bot activity I guess stealing the batches. Even a good size batch is available ... let's say 60 dollar or 70 dollar (if you think this is good) one with 90 items (may be more) with 2 deliveries or three, then you spend three hours in this to complete with all the driving. Is it really worth it??? I think not. Some of the items that people order through website the employees even don't know where they are and you run around asking every employee that you come across (if there are any) looking for this item or two or three wasting your time and you finally give up and refund those items. Nothing you can do at that point. Customer does not understand this or what you go through. At the and with all that work they give you a lower rating. They don't give a crap about you or your effort. Some of the batches no tip included. That tells you everything. DONE
I have never been asked to scan a receipt.... thats odd. I've noticed there are differences in the app depending on your location.
I got a $60 cash tip from Torrington, CT yesterday. Some customers give a little cash tip on delivery. ;)
$60! That’s sweey
Ron Redmond I have to scan here in Alabama
My area I work is East Dallas about 30-40 miles you can hit $200 a day here. The morning is where it’s at. Usually you can make $120-$150 by lunch time, then it really slows down around 3 or 4 pm. Still my wife and I are doing this part time just a few batches here and there and making $1,200 combined. We would work more but we have a toddler and infant and one has to watch them while the other works.
I think instcart depends a lot on your location. I'm in Dallas and in about 15 hours I made 140$ so definitely not as much as you but it's still a good side hustle.
Yep, def does
I make a LOT more in Commerce. Something's wrong with your practice.
@@lisareed5669 you just proved my point. That's almost 2 hours away from me

Please help me. I applied for instacart 5 days ago. I received my credit card, attached my debit, and did all the paperwork and criminal check and background check I mean all and it says to start earning money please complete training and when I click on alcohol training or goes to the next page to sign in and I never can sign in, nothing moves or anything...what should i do?
Didn't know we're supposed to scan the receipt in. I've only done 2 orders so far.
I live in DFW and even here you would have to do a lot more to make that, def wouldn't happen in 8 hours. DFW loves $8 + no tip 20 mile 60 piece batches and my best tips come from the poorest neighborhoods.

Good luck Bit.ly/instacartreezy
@@ReezyResells it is no good in this area. I keep seeing others like for only $9 and its 2.9 miles away with 25 items. Wtf?!
Yeah cuz Lyft is too critical abt how nice your car has to look for their standards.
Do you ever get any difficult customers when you can’t find what they want?
Yeah you keep texting back and forth wasting time and not available finally refund the item and get a lower rating at the end.
WildStyle Vloggs I had a customer make so many changes on a 12 item order and was really rude. In the middle of the order I cancelled the batch and took care of someone else order.
Courtney Hill I don’t blame you!
Mostly the whole gluten free and vegan orders lol
This sounds like a nightmare. What if you text your customer about a substitution and they don't text back for 20 minutes? What if you got tired of waiting and already checked out and left? Do you have to go all the way back now?
Then you simply press the button that says refund.,........ and don’t wait for them. And don’t get mad that’s just what I do
I do cases of soda almost at the end. Made that mistake and was hauling that around.
Makes sense, I’ll do that from now on cases of water make the cart heavy, also selecting a good cart is key
Got soda cases first cause I need to workout since the gyms closed! xD
Great video as always Reezy. Looking forward to that vid comparing the different shopping gig cos.
I started this week, I haven’t had to take a pic of the receipt.
Same here

VERY VALUABLE INFO!! Follow the hustle!
Unfortunately I’ve been doing IC here in NY it’s impossible to make 300 here, the batches are mostly small here if it’s a big batch you gotta travel 20 miles for it. NY has too many IC drivers unfortunately
I just started doing this last week and I love it! I'm not much of a shopper but I will do it when someone is paying me. I don't make that much in our area - typically anywhere between 15-25 per order. I think we have a lot of shoppers but my batch is always full so I could work all day and still not have an empty batch. Our store, though, is out of so many things it's really sad. Thanks for this video!
Instacart always feeds me. I’m always conflicted though. I’d love to tip cash so it doesn’t have to be declared but the one time I know somebody did that whomever was getting the groceries didn’t try very hard, and left without even alerting them that their groceries were outside. I’m assuming they thought they weren’t getting a tip? I always tip a minimum of 35 in addition to the 10 dollar fee
Bless your soul
Would you reccomend doing both instacart and doordash at the same ?
The bust nice till you got to pay back all the taxes at the end of the year lmaooo
I think instacart pay greatly depends on the state too. I do instacart in MD and I am currently in OH. Their rates are not the best, it’s so discouraging. In MD you will find orders up to a $100 but here in OH, $20 and less is the order of the day, Sometimes even the pay for 2 orders. That’s crazy
Yes so location dependent - I’ve done several $100 orders here and some people can’t make that in an entire day
this guy should say how much he did the other days , not just his lucky day. I hope he is telling the truth, not just telling shit to make video. Besides the risk that people face being in stores for the virus don't have price
This was not a “lucky day” lol - when I get batches I do $45/hour pretty regularly - especially before the bots started kicking in, now it’s harder w the bots taking all the batches but around here $45/hour is normal. I ran into a guy who was doing $450-$500 a day and making $3K a week - I don’t work that much but it’s rad to know it’s possible, or it was before the bots
I was doing $3000 a week in my area 3 years ago. Last year and this year we are lucky to make $500 a week. 12 hours a day 7 days a week spent looking at your phone. My market is oversaturated with shoppers and now bots are taking the orders faster then you can click on a order. If you can get a order you just have to accept it without looking at it. Most of the time you click accept and it says someone else took it.
@@ReezyResells Looks like it actually wasn't "A DAY" -- the screen shot shows your 8 hours was over a span of a week. Important info bro.
I just did my first delivery yesterday! This video is very helpful, it looks like it’s very possible to make this a full time job!
Very good video! You covered a lot of bases. My biggest Instacart lifesaver has been my collapsible wagon! This saves me so much time and strain by carting up to the door in one trip. My other tip is one thing he mentioned: The reusable message to the customer. I save this message in my notes app and copy it, accept the order and then go straight to messages and past the text changing the name to the current customer. I want us all to succeed so I’m sharing the message here:
Hello Yolanda! 🛒 My name is Troy and I have just started shopping for you. My goal is to provide you with excellent service! Please let me know if you have any questions, if you would like to add anything to your order, or anything else I can help you with. I’ve shopped for hundreds of others and I’m happy for the opportunity to be shopping for you. 🙂
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Please let me know if there’s anything I can do to provide you with a 5-Star experience today!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I will also keep you informed as I shop as to what is not available.
That is what I send every single time and after 3 years shopping with Instacart I’ve never received less than a 5 Star review.
I also concentrate more on being correct then fast. I want to shop quickly but more importantly I want the customer to be happy with the products I deliver.
Thanks again for the great video!!!
Troy in SoCal
Thanks Troy! This truly is a job that’s built for people who are good at customer service. I’ve had tips doubled after delivery quite often
Troy, what kind of collapsible wagon would you recommend?
@S.B Go to Walmart and get the wagon in the camping aisle. It runs $50.00 +. Worth every penny. Also I get stickers from the Dollar tree Store to use when I have 2 or more orders, especially when the are large. Easier to load up at check out. Always double check.
Thank you, namaste!
Another trick for people out there is that if you have an iphone you can replace text like these with pre-text. If you type cart1 on your text, it will pop the entire message for you "Hello Yolanda! 🛒 My name is Troy and I have just started shopping for you. My goal is to provide you with excellent service!..." I also do that for my airbnb guests responses
this is interesting, i have been doing doordash on weekends, during the week, taking care of the house as a full rime dad and selling furniture n the side (trash to treasure) I never thought of doing this during the down times
I’ve been doing it for weeks. I’ve hardly made more that 100 I. A day working 8 hours
Try other apps. Spark, curbside, there's so many, There's a service for walking peoples dogs while they're at work or on vacation. There's t
Love that. Thank you
I just started working with a local company and we use the Wisdom app. Have you heard of it?
question for anyone who does this. I just tried to sign up, and i'm on the "waitlist" for being a shopper. did any of you have this happen? and if so, how long did it take them to let you in??
Currently on the waitlist as well
I'm on the waitlist as well my cousij does instacart he said it takes about 30-35 days he got in a month later so about 30 or more
Mayank Parkash interesting. I joined 4 years ago..
For every 100 carts put back in the corral one bagger/cart pusher is laid off
Doubtful also cares are getting damaged
Reezy Resells thanks for protecting our rides! 😊
