Should you waive Instacart service fee?
Instacart now charges a service fee for 5%, with a minimum of $2. You can no longer choose to waive the service fee. This 10% fee is separate from the tip. We encourage you to tip your delivery person after the delivery—or before the delivery—because that tip actually goes directly to the person doing the work.22 Apr 2020
