They definitely can call you.?? I've had shoppers call me just before
they check out to be sure the substitutions were acceptable.?? They also
have to call to get directions because the apartment complex where I
live has confusing addresses.?? So yes, they can definitely call you if
you wish.?? Be aware that the area code used for the calls is not usually
a local area code.?? I live in Southern Illinois and I've had area codes
from Southern California, New York state and other places I can't think
of. This is to preserve the privacy of the shopper, I think, but I'm not
sure.?? Just to say that if you have a call blocker on your phone you
could miss important texts and calls since they don't use local area
codes for the calls.
Other services like Doordash do this, too.?? It was weird at first, but
now I'm used to it.

Yes. You pay when you order. You can explore the stores without making an
order. You can review your order and add and remove items. They will tell
you if there are limited quantities of anything in your order and you can
choose what they will substitute from some suggestions they give of
alternatives or choose to leave it off the list if it's out of stock. You
can communicate via text in real time while your shopper is at the store as
well. I'm not sure if they will call you because I chose to do text
messaging.

Trying to understand Instacart.
You pay when you order?
Can you explore the stores through Instacart without paying a fee?
