I strongly recommend that each of you contact customer support for InstaCart. Last summer, the app was completely inaccessible; I contacted them with some suggestions and their developer(s) were incredibly responsive.
Myself, I cannot use InstaCart because there isn’t any providers here in northern Wisconsin but I contacted them on behalf of a dear friend living in Austin and they were extremely responsive! I would certainly use InstaCart if it were available here in the Twin Ports. * * * * * * * * * Bill Gallik wfgal...@icloud.com > On Apr 26, 2016, at 7:14 AM, Richard Petty <richard.pe...@earthlink.net> > wrote: > > I wonder if anyone here uses the InstaCart app and has encountered the same > problem I have? > > I use InstaCart and find it generally accessible.
