Some stores sell on Instacart for the exact price they sell for in-store. Fred Meyer / Kroger, for example.
Instacart has a notice at the top of each store's page that gives each store's pricing policy. For Costco, it says "Costco sets the price of items on the Instacart marketplace. Prices are higher than your local warehouse. Costco members also do not earn 2% executive reward on Instacart.". For Fred Meyer and several others, it says "Everyday store prices" and links to a policy stating that the prices are the same as in the store.
- somebrody 6y agoIf I read all that, do I get my $60 back? No? Then I don't care. It's The Wrong Way.
- strictnein 6y agoHuh? No, you'd read that and then not order it in the first place.
- somebrody 6y ago> not order it in the first place Which was OP's conclusion so I'm not sure why understanding the nuances of the pricing is helpful
- emiliobumachar 6y agoNope. The OP was over-generalizing it as inherent to online grocery shopping, the reply pointed out they just need to pick a different seller.
- somebrody 6y agoThey wanted items from Costco at a fair price. They didn't want items from a "different seller", whatever that would mean. But, sure, pretend that Instacart is doing a good job in the free market or whatever. Everyone else knows that it isn't the right way to do it
