About This Role
Let's talk about what you'll actually do
You're using the Instacart Shopper app. It sends you orders to shop for at stores in Washington, DC.
You pick the items, pay for them, and then deliver everything right to the customer's door. That's the whole job.
What you need to have
- You must be at least 18 years old. If you want to deliver alcohol orders, you need to be 21+.
- Eligible to work in the U.S.
- A vehicle you can reliably use and a smartphone that isn't ancient.
The deal with flexibility and pay
This is built for a flexible schedule. You aren't locked into set shifts.
- You can start earning pretty quickly once you're set up.
- Pay hits your account weekly, but there's an option for instant cashout if you need it sooner.
- Tips from customers are all yours. They can add up.
- Keep an eye out for special promotions that boost your earnings on certain orders.
A quick note: getting orders depends on how many are available in your area at any given time. It's not a guarantee of constant work, but it's a way to make money on your own terms.
A bit more context
People use this gig for all sorts of reasons. It fits if you're looking for something seasonal, temporary, or just extra hours after school or during the week. It's entry level work you do from home, basically. You get more control over your time than with a standard part time job.
*Subject to availability of batches in your area.*
