Since the complain from many Instacart shoppers, the company is still not taking any better but worse for them.

However, Instacart has been one of the delivery favourite jobs during covid-19 pandemic to collect online orders and drop off grocery goods to customers’ home. But now, delivery people are frustrating about how the company calculates the earnings for them, seems like their earnings are getting lower gradually and hits below minimum wage in the last few months.

“I’ve probably analyzed 3,000 to 4,000 batches of orders from Instacart, just trying to figure out how they establish their pricing model, and I can’t,” said Daniel Feuer, 52, of Whitby, Ontario. one of six Instacart delivery people from across the country who spoke to Go Public

“I’m making much less money, and it’s not about the number of orders going down, it’s about the actual payment for those orders decreasing.”

They are not alone. In some private Facebook groups, they are tons of them also commenting about the reduction of the fees as “a trap”, “gross” and “ridiculous”. Additionally, they used to make approximately around $40 to $50 an hour, but currently they are earning less than minimum wage.

Other than that, there is a person named “Mark” who managed to support his wife and three children with his Instacart earnings for over $1000 a week, making $25 to $30 an hour. Although, the fees are getting lower and it is not even worth his time to work for them anymore since his current week he made under $400.
