Amazon Fresh is categorically better and it’s included in prime. I canceled Instacart and don’t see how they can compete.
Edit: I use good eggs too which has been great and has some high quality options. My experience with instacart was negative enough to damage its brand for me - I hated using it.
Instacart is full of deception. You think you pay a delivery fee, a service fee, and a tip. That all seems fair. Until you realize they silently jack the price up of every single item without calling that out. Worse, they don't use discount cards. Kroger, one of the largest in the US, is well known for their cards and 'fake' deep discounts. Many times shoppers would send me a pic for a replacement item showing '12.99' on the label only to bill at double that on the receipt.
Where Instacart wins I suppose is that it's more than just Safeway, and you can get it very quickly (quickest turnaround for a Safeway delivery is next day). But that's nowhere near enough value to be competitive.
sorry for your bad experience but your anecdote is not substantiated or relevant.
This isn’t personal - I just wouldn’t invest in or use instacart again given the alternatives. I think my anecdote is relevant since you work there, customer experience sucked.
I wouldn’t bet against Amazon in this case. A middleman service will always lose out to people who own the full stack.
