*Please note – store availability varies by zip code so not all zip codes will have access to all the same stores. When a customer puts in their zip code, they will see all the stores available to them.
MINIMUM ORDER
Your cart must be $10 or more.
DELIVERY FEE
The delivery fee is $5.99 per order/store for orders of $35 or more, but delivery is FREE for your 1st order!
If you plan to use Instacart regularly (you’re probably going to be hooked after you try it!), an annual Instacart Express membership is $14.99/month or $149/year. An Instacart Express membership enables free, unlimited same-day deliveries of $35 or more.
PRODUCTS SAME AS IN-STORE?
Yes! You’ll find all of your favorites – from milk and eggs to fruits and vegetables to canned goods and ice cream (plus everything in between!). Instacart’s interface is super easy to use and it’s easy to toggle back-and-forth between stores to compare prices and offerings.
Another helpful feature is that Instacart will save your “favorites” after you complete an order, which makes repeat-orders faster and easier.
PRICES SAME AS IN-STORE?
Prices generally reflect the everyday in-store prices. Where there are higher prices, it is noted so customers can make educated decisions.
***As it stands currently, Bashas’, CVS, Natural Grocers, Petco, Sprouts, and Whole Foods offer products at the same prices as in-store. Albertson’s, Costco, Fry’s, and Safeway offer products at a higher price than available in-store.
***Note: Although Sprouts prices are generally the same as in-store…special sales do not apply for Instacart. For example, Sprouts recently ran a BOGO sale. These prices did not populate on Instacart’s interface.
COUPONS & SALES
Instacart does not honor in-store or manufacturer coupons or gift cards. For example, you cannot use a Fry’s-specific coupon for $1 off a loaf of bread. That being said, Instacart partners with 600+ top consumer packaged goods companies so there are lots of coupons available on the site. Add savings to your cart with just one click.
TIPPING & SERVICE FEE (What’s the difference?)
When you check out, a 10% service fee is automatically added to your cart. You can choose to keep it there or to waive that fee. The service fee is not a tip. It is a fee that helps with operational expenses and provides customers with the best service possible.
Tipping is not required, but is encouraged for a job well done. After your groceries are delivered, you will be prompted to rate your order and you will be given an opportunity to tip. You’ll receive a notification via text and email. You will be given the option to tip 10%, 15%, 20%, or to enter your own custom tip amount. It’s at your discretion. 100% of tips left on Instacart go to the shopper who completes the delivery.
