Interesting!  I knew Uber is what Wal Mart uses for delivery.  I did not realize they had gone into the grocery business.  I wonder if they do like Instacart and do the shopping or just do the driving?  I use Instacart and am pretty pleased with the service.

I'm re-sending the message below with a new subject. 

Has anyone on here tried using Uber Eats for ordering groceries? If so, how does it compare to Instant Cart and Amazon? I've noticed Uber Eats has been offering grocery shopping for a while now, and I've been wondering how it compares to other grocery shopping services. 

Best,
Sarah

We do the same with instant cart. We have had trouble trying to complain about bad produce. We give them very specific directions. I think some people just don’t read them. Kind of like when you order some thing from GrubHub or something like that. Sometimes the workers just can’t read or refuse to read it correctly or double check their work.
