As a stay at home father, who works around the entire family's schedule, I have been trying to find a variation of delivery jobs to pay the bills. I have been told about a couple of shopping companies that pay you to deliver groceries to people. Instacart is one of them.
It was easy to sign up for Instacart. You download their app and fill out the application directly through it. You have to pretty much let them know everything about you because you are going to deliver groceries to people. They have to make sure you are the person you say they are. You take pics of yourself, your license, front and back. You fill out forms which are agreements between you and the company. You hook up your bank account to them for payment. You also agree to go through a background check.
Instacart does not have fantastic reviews. However, I have worked for some companies who get horrible reviews and part of the problem is the workers, not the company. I am not sure. I will go through the process and let you know what happens.
I am hoping to make some cash and get a real look into this company. Are they legitimate enough to give them my time and effort? I also hope to give information to people that is real information. No complaining, just real facts.
I have over twenty years of delivery experience and I will be able to tell the truth about Instacart in no time. Right now I am waiting for the background check and their shopping card. More information coming soon.
Stay tuned for reviews on both Amazon Flex and Uber in the near future.
