They blocked my account to verify my identity

I wanted to order some groceries from Costco as I know the products and have been a member for several years. So, I put everything in the cart and hit the 'order' button - hey, did you think it would be this easy?

Despite being a member with an account in good standing and having sent an email verification code? But no! The order was cancelled. They asked for a government ID with a photo and a CC photo.

How stupid can this be in the digital and AI era, with cell phones and QR codes? Gee, ask me to call you on FaceTime, it will be quicker and I will get my order the same day, as advertised!

These people have never heard that unsatisfied clients will not come back for business with them... well, they are about to!

I’ve never had trouble with Instacart nor had to provide ID. That probably is a Costco rule since a membership is required.

Also, you should leave the “loss” field blank. You did not have money taken from you.

Religious texts dropped off with order

Instacart - Religious texts dropped off with order

Ordered food from Instacart through the restaurant section in association with Uber Eats. The driver is delivering religious books from the Seventh-Day Adventist Church along with the order.

I find this unacceptable and annoying.

Does Instacart and/or Uber Eats *** this behavior? I will need to reconsider using these services if they do.

They stole my money!

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I had started to create a budget for myself by buying grocery gift cards every month to properly manage my money. I bought a $100 Instacart gift card, which allowed me to upload the card information to my account.

However, when I went to place my order, it said my account was on hold until I could show proof of being the card holder for my previous first purchase that they denied. That purchase was attempted the year before and I no longer had that card. I've tried calling customer service, but they refuse to help me and continue to just hang up on me.

They essentially stole my $100. They are crooks and no amount of convenience is worth taking the risk on their poor business practices.

Stolen Order by Driver

The driver called and stated he was 7 miles away from my home when the GPS showed that he was arriving to my home. The driver also said Uber gave him the wrong address and he was 7 miles away.

Instead, he said he was going to call customer support. He hung up mark the order as complete and then put in that he was unable to reach me. When I spoke to customer service, they told me that he followed the right protocol.

Even though I explained to them the situation they were not trying to look into it. Any further, not that have they rectified my case yet?

I am sick and tired of scheduling a delivery way in advance and it being postponed. Why ask to schedule the delivery if you can't do it? I schedule it for a certain time so that I can receive the order.
