Grocery shopping via Instacart
Grocery shopping via Instacart
PriceThe difference between the prices in-store and what Instacart charged me was so surprising. They charged me $21 more than the actual store price, not even counting the extra charges. It's just not right and really makes me wonder if I should bother using Instacart again in the future.
Membership fee issue
Membership fee issue
PriceI signed up for the free trial on this platform, and then suddenly got hit with a $99 yearly fee that I didn't agree to! When I reached out to customer service, they said I already had a trial years ago, but I don't remember that at all. I tried to cancel and get my money back, but they wouldn't help me at all. They were so dismissive and refused to take any responsibility. I was really let down by their attitude.

PriceI signed up for a free trial and they went ahead and charged my card without even asking me first! I told them that it wasn't cool and it would put me in a tough spot, but they didn't care. I've been a customer for 5 years, but that's it for me now!
Groceries, Scam
Groceries, Scam
PriceInstacart is the worst! I ordered groceries and the shopper couldn't find what I really wanted. Like, why list it on your website if it's not available, that's rude! They also charged me a sneaky membership fee without telling me 😡. When I called to complain, they just said "sorry, no refunds after 5 days, bye!" So rude! Avoid using instacart, it's definitely a scam, ugh 😠. I'm going to dispute that charge, and you should too if they try to scam you as well! 🚫
Groceries delivery scam

PriceSo, you know, I ordered groceries like two years ago from this app, eh? And then all of a sudden, I get this email from them saying I accidentally signed up for a membership and they're gonna charge me $79! They even attempted to take $800 from my account, but it didn't go through because I didn't have enough money. I tried reaching out to customer service, but they were totally useless, man! I ended up deleting my account, but now I'm just waiting for them to confirm that they've removed all my info. It's seriously not safe, eh!
Online grocery purchase

PriceI've been using *grocery delivery service* for a while now and everything was going smoothly until recently. I noticed two charges on my bank account that I definitely didn't make - one for $70 and another for $709, supposedly from *delivery service*. I never made purchases like that, especially something so pricey. I contacted my bank and *delivery service* about it, and only got a partial refund that didn't cover the full amount stolen. After a few attempts to fix things, the refunds disappeared and now I'm out $679.20 and $70. I reported this shady business to my bank and the authorities.
Unauthorized membership charge
Unauthorized membership charge
PriceI'm really upset about the service I received. It was a total surprise to see a charge of $99.00 on my debit card for a membership I never signed up for. I never agreed to this charge, but it still went through without me knowing. Then I tried calling their customer service in India, but they were no help at all. They sounded like robots and couldn't fix the problem. Even after asking many times for a refund, they wouldn't help me out. This whole situation has left me feeling frustrated and deceived. I recommend staying away from this service so you don't end up in the same situation.
