I am going to cancel. Feel terrible for the shopper. The shopper is trying to get an approval from Instacart because of higher purchase price. Wait time for Instacart care is forever according to him. I wonder why
got some chocolate ^_^
my shopper was lightning fast. Missing a box of chocolate but i'm too happy with the rest to complain ^_^
btw, I only ordered a few chocolates on my order.
I get that they don't want to honor price mistakes. This could be a very costly error on someone's part.
But they clearly know about the problem if payments aren't going through. So, why haven't they taken either the individual items or all of Walgreens out of their system until they can fix their problems? By not doing so, they're creating a really crappy situation for their shoppers. They need to reimburse their employees for their error.
Not to mention for customers who didn't know about this, and maybe ordered an item or two that's mistakenly priced and just happened to get stuck in the middle of this.
Signed up and put an order in. Never used instacart before. Didnt realize I was having another person try to do my dirty work so I could save a few bucks. I dont mind chasing deals myself, but not right to have others expend their time in this way

My shopper informed me of possible low availability. Texted 12 mins later that they're out of all clearance items. Told them no worries. Delivered 8 out of 18 "slick" priced items 14 mins later; chocolates and protein shakes, yum!
I threw on an extra tip on top of the initial 20% tip. Honestly expected a full cancellation. Instacart even gave me a $10 voucher for next time as an apology for out of stock items. First time user so I was pleased to snag $113 worth of stuff for only $31 after all fees and gratuity. If I use the $10 voucher, even more savings. Thanks again OP! Five stars to you and my shopper today.

I feel bad. The shopper got everything, order showed complete and checking out, and then immediately after got a cancellation and refund. So yeah, wasted the shopper's time. I hope Instacart still paid them.
I appreciate the OP's post, but I personally won't do one of these Instacart price mstk's again… seems like it's probably just screwing over the shopper and wasting my own time.

Yeah completely agree. A few people I guess got their orders but unless you're among the very first people in it'll just auto be cancelled.
mine cancelled as my shopper said Walgreens is not honoring the price
It's not Walgreens. It's Instacart. The payments are getting declined and aren't going through. That's likely due to the price mismatch. But that's Instacart's problem, because they aren't authorizing enough money for each purchase with the messed up prices.
This has been going on for hours now. Why haven't they either fixed the prices or at the very least temporarily taken those items or Walgreens out of their system for ordering?

If the shopper had already started shopping and checking out before it was cancelled,they will still get a payment but If the shopping procedure has already begun and the customers cancel afterward, the customer can be required to pay a $15 fee for cancellation.
