Here are some tips on how to be a great Instacart shopper

Read the order carefully before you start shopping

This may seem like a no-brainer, but it is important to make sure that you understand exactly what the customer has ordered before you start picking out their groceries. This will help you avoid any mistakes and will make the shopping process go more smoothly.

Be efficient in your shopping

Instacart shoppers are given a set amount of time to complete each order, so it is important to be efficient in your shopping. Try to plan your route through the store so that you can quickly and easily find all of the items on the customer's list.

Pay attention to detail

When you are scanning items at the store, pay close attention to detail to make sure that you are scanning the correct items and quantities. This will help avoid any errors when the customer's order is being delivered.

Be friendly and polite

It is important to be friendly and polite when you are interacting with customers, as this will help create a positive experience for them. If you have any questions about an order, be sure to ask in a polite way so that the customer feels comfortable answering.

Follow all store policies

When you are shopping at a store on behalf of a customer, it is important to follow all of the store's policies. This includes things like not taking shortcuts through restricted areas or leaving items behind in the cart when you are finished shopping.

Be careful with fragile items

When packing up a customer's order, be careful with fragile items so that they do not break during delivery. If an item does break, be sure to contact customer service so that they can arrange for a replacement or refund for the customer.
