Hello all, I have been using Instacart for about three years now. It is a great tool to have and I have only had a couple of instances where I have not received everything that I ordered or the item was wrong. I have found that the customer service of the app is wonderful. If you’re missing items or something is wrong, they will refund you it just takes a little time. The app is great.
