I also prefer Shipt. We recently ordered grocerys through Kroger. They use instacart. The shopper replaced one of my items with a similar item but never contacted me. They always contact me through Shipt. You can also pay a monthly fee with Shipt. Debbie d

Also, you can order from shipt without signing up for their membership but you pay a delivery fee. I forget what the minimum grocery order is for free delivery though but if you pay for the membership it's $35 in groceries for free delivery. I did not know there was a number for Instacart because every time I've tried to contact them I've only ever had the option of emailing them. I've had a lot of bad luck with the shoppers. Lastly, you can pay monthly for Instacart instead of the yearly fee if you'd like. It's $8.99 here.

Before that, the minimum order is $69, on which there would be a delivery fee, but for me that is lower then the cost of a round-trip, so would be worth it. With Instacart, you can join Instacart express, which saves you on the service and delivery fees each time, and which is a good option if you feel you would be shopping often enough to justify the $99 membership fee. You are not obligated to join Instacart express. It’s nice that their minimum order is $35. The two week free trial is for if you want to decide if you wish to join the express membership. Their phone representatives i’ve been very good when problems have come up. From what little I have seen of Shipt, it seems you can’t shop without joining their program that’s like Instacart express. I didn’t do it because they weren’t offering anything different than Instacart in the way of stores. > On Dec 29, 2019, at 1:02 PM, Kimberly McCarty via Cookinginthedark > <cookinginthedark@acbradio.org> wrote: > > Yeah I have a friend who uses it as well and loves the service.
