HaHa! That would probably work if my only phone were not a Princess-style hard wired land line.

 

I'm just going to be more careful ordering tomatoes. There are some Nature Sweet Cherub grape tomatoes that come in a clamshell available through the software that I almost ordered, and those should be easy to get right. I know they are good, but not quite as good as the Cottle Farms ones I wanted.

 

 

 Gotcha. Since I use the mobile app I can see the suggestions and choose one of them or decline all together. 

  That said, you have to be on top of it. I recently ordered 3, 64oz of diet Snapple and since the plastic bottles in that size wasn’t available my shopper bought 3 12 packs of glasses. The price difference was upwards of $30. I wasn’t pleased. Especially since the mobile app allows you to call your shopper or text them. That’s partially why I was pissed about not being on top of having the original item out of stock.  I primarily use Instacart to get deliveries from Wegman’s which is a nightmare in traffic and always super packed. I do shop in person locally. 

 

  You also have the opportunity to tip more or less/- I tend to tip 15-20% depending on the weather and you can also send a tip after your delivery which I appreciate. 

 

  Do you have Uber in your area? I’d imagine it would be much cheaper and faster than any taxi service. 

 

  Also I’d look again at Drizly.com— it’s an alcohol delivery service. It may only be app based but I know they deliver in NC.
