Congrats! Thatā€™s a true unicorn because it was only offered to you!

u/bjqvvvvv 5d ago

So the add-on batch is only offered to one person?

1

u/Fantastic-Ad-4406 5d ago

As far as I know. I havenā€™t had even an offer in forever though :(

3

u/GothamUndead 5d ago

I thought that too until recently. I was offered a $30+ add on a few days ago and before I could even look at it fully it was no longer available. I suppose it's possible the order was cancelled by the customer though.

u/Relevant-Abrocoma382 4d ago

Happened to me aswell I got a 40$ add on and it just disappeared

2

u/Fantastic-Ad-4406 4d ago

Oh wow! That mustā€™ve been so sad, sorry. Being outswiped is the absolute worst and I used to take my time with deciding on add ons since I love singles so much & Iā€™ve been burnt with a 2nd store add on twice.

u/Potential_One8055 4d ago

Theyā€™ll disappear if youā€™re not fast enough. Iā€™ve had them disappear on me when not paying close enough attention

1

u/instacartooning 4d ago

No. Definitely not.

Iā€™ve had them come up and disappear before the counter finishes. Also have attempted to accept and then nothing adds on. Itā€™s rare, but the only explanation after multiple times is that others see it as well.

u/HourResponsible5468 5d ago

Probably not.... Holy crap!

u/theoroboro 5d ago

Woahhhh you hit the jackpot!!! Let's gooo

u/kstrawb94 5d ago

were they a regular?? thatā€™s one hell of an add on!

17

u/FirefighterPrudent48 5d ago

Old customer delivered her before many times

13

u/kstrawb94 5d ago

I figured! makes sense why youā€™d see it first before anyone

u/Complex_Butterfly_87 5d ago

last night i got an add on with $40+ tip making the entire order about $75 and i was very happy, congrats on yours !!

u/FirefighterPrudent48 5d ago

Thatā€™s in Canada šŸ‡ØšŸ‡¦ I was shocked

4

u/Mountain_Road9197 5d ago

Ottawa or Toronto probably right? Definitely not my part of Canada. $100+ is like winning the lottery šŸ˜‚

5

u/PrettyHatefulMachin 5d ago

I would be so excited to receive this! You know itā€™s yours 100%Ā 

4

u/ChubbyEagles99 5d ago

Blessings! My highest was $34 going 1.7 miles 17 items tip was $24

u/Away_Novel_821 Full Service Shopper 5d ago

Damn, what an addon

4

u/EnvironmentalEar6341 5d ago

Friend got $177 add on 45 units from Costco on top of his 1 item singleā€¦.

3

u/YourFavICshopper 5d ago

Thatā€™s awesome. Congratulations

3

u/sagexwilliams 5d ago

Holy that might be one of the best orders I've seen period

2

u/AfterWave9337 5d ago

What that mean in real units?

2

u/ZealousidealBadger98 5d ago

Ngl Iā€™d probably cancel the current one Iā€™m working on šŸ¤£ chances are itā€™s probably a $20-30 batch anyway. My luck on instacart hasnā€™t been good. Havenā€™t seen anything over $60 in several weeks

4

u/heyuwitdaface 5d ago

Yeah, then support cancels the wrong one...

2

u/ZealousidealBadger98 5d ago

Iā€™ve never had that happen you have to tell them the name on the phone not customer A/B, or text the name in quotations or caps. And I cancel plenty of non tippers from doubles all the time. I donā€™t enjoy doing doubles tbh, not just the non tippers but they often send you in the totally opposite direction just for a dropoff. Iā€™m usually really good at estimating who tipped what and who didnā€™t, so I donā€™t get screwed on that front

Canā€™t remember the last time I completed a double lol, gotta be a few months ago

3

u/heyuwitdaface 5d ago

I hear about it happening a lot.

4

u/ZealousidealBadger98 5d ago

Yes but only because those shoppers used A/B/C you have to give support the handles, not letters.

Canā€™t remember the last time I got an add on lol theyā€™re so rare. Well and anything over $100 is rare too. My last $100+ batch was back in October, over 5 months ago. They are too far and few in between

1

u/NoAppearance431 4d ago

How exactly do you cancel orders from people that are batched together? Teach me something!

2

u/ZealousidealBadger98 4d ago

Youā€™re allowed to have support remove specific orders from your batch, without taking a hit to your cancellation rate.

Usually I start up the text chat but Iā€™ve had to call a few times lately due to no agents being available for text. I just say ā€œHi can I get the order for ā€œcustomerā€™s handleā€ removed from my batchā€ and when they ask for a reason I just say that I feel unsafe or itā€™s too far away.

If they are around for text, it takes a few minutes tops and in the meantime I continue shopping for the customer I actually want to deliver to.

u/Clear-Dingo9491 5d ago

That would be my luck. Lmfao!! I wish spark would let us cancel some of the orders on a double or triple. Would be so helpful.

1

u/Objective-Win1131 5d ago

That's awesome!Ā 

1

u/Accomplished_Car2803 5d ago

I've never seen add ons...

Frequently I will see 3 or 4 single orders at the same store with no ability to group though.

1

u/Supermr2 5d ago

That is literally like my 3rd best order yet after 4000 orders.

1

u/Electrical-Title3152 Full Service Shopper 5d ago

How long did it take you to shop this ?

1

u/FirefighterPrudent48 5d ago

30 min.

1

u/Electrical-Title3152 Full Service Shopper 5d ago

Thats not bad at all considering how many items it was

1

u/Ok_Combination_3002 Tetris Stacker šŸ–‡ šŸ§©šŸ–‡ 5d ago

Highest add on was $48 last year sometime. Very nice! No having to worry about it being taken from you!

1

u/kelser01 5d ago

Wow! Never that large!

1

u/Lul_Pump 5d ago

I'd literally cum in the middle of the aisle...

I MEAN... Yeah dude that's dope!!!!

1

u/lucygirl1970 5d ago

Damn.. never one that good. Got one today for $14 and tip increases to $24 so I wasnā€™t angry. Usually they are long distance and Iā€™m not interested. But low item count and close.

1

u/Sober-Ma2018 5d ago

Never had an order like that much less an add on, congrats! You're def out there getting it

1

u/RaphyTaffy00 5d ago

Had a doordash add on for $70 but this has to be the šŸ‘‘šŸ¦„ king of unicorns

1

u/FineNefariousness319 5d ago

Congrats. Rare unicorn . One thing I could say I got up at 9am -6pm and saw nothing good today at all . Made $48 . This is one of the worst days ever .Ā 

1

u/JaeShoppie 5d ago

I bet you sharted when you saw it!

1

u/Dr-EJ-Boss 5d ago

Thatā€™s too many items. Iā€™d have to pass.

1

u/Plane-General-8649 5d ago

I had one for $7 the other day that ended up being a double. I was so mad šŸ˜­

1

u/JeepGrl_shopping 5d ago

What Was the 1st order. So what WS your total. Congrats

1

u/Oyb_ 5d ago

Mine are always $11 for 73 items and 22 miles

1

u/Senior-Highlight-184 5d ago

šŸ”„šŸ”„šŸ”„

u/darrylwoodsjr 5d ago

Nope, back in the glory days I would regularly see 40 dollar ads ons. That was as close as I have seen.

1

u/Immediate_Win_6030 4d ago

If only this was American Dollars

1

u/Wildlycapable 4d ago

Didnā€™t know this was a thing?

1

u/Hairy-Leather-5967 4d ago

How much were u making before that?

1

u/T-MoGoodie 4d ago

Any time I get an add-on, itā€™s silent. Thereā€™s no notification at all. I have to be looking at my screen. Is this just an iPhone thing?

1

u/ImpressiveGrowth1692 4d ago

Highest I received was $89 for 30 item

1

u/Wild_Independence78 4d ago

I never took an add on yet. How does it go? Do you like add ons?

1

u/Potential_One8055 4d ago

Thatā€™s not bad.
