Instacart, an online grocery delivery service, offers its customers the convenience of having their groceries delivered right to their doorstep. This includes apartment dwellers looking for a hassle-free way to get groceries without leaving their homes.
Does Instacart deliver to apartments?
Yes, Instacart delivers goods to apartments. You need to provide security instructions and a gate code to the deliveryman. However, if your gated community has internal employees for deliveries, please give instructions to Instacart.
The answer is yes! Instacart will deliver groceries right to your door, even if you live in an apartment. However, there are a few things you need to keep in mind when ordering through Instacart if you live in an apartment.
First, when placing an order with Instacart, give clear and detailed instructions on how the delivery person should enter the apartment building or complex. Some apartments require a gate code or key fob to enter the building. You must provide this information so the driver can access your facility and successfully deliver. If your complex has employees who handle deliveries, give instructions so they can let the driver into the building.
Additional steps may be required once inside your apartment building before they can reach your door, such as entering another code at a security desk or an elevator code to get up to your floor level. Again, you must provide clear instructions so they can quickly and easily access your residence.
Once inside your residence, the delivery person will knock on your door once they arrive so that you know they’re there and can come to retrieve your groceries from them safely and securely. Be sure not to forget any relevant information, such as an intercom code or buzzer number, if applicable and necessary for them to get into the building itself. Otherwise, they won’t be able to reach you!
In addition, some areas may have occupancy limits, meaning that Instacart drivers may only bring certain types of packages inside due to safety regulations. Also, note that staff carrying out deliveries may not bring food items up more than four flights at a time due to health considerations—so please bear this in mind when ordering from Instacart if you live above that limit!
If you provide all relevant information when placing your order with Instacart and follow these tips, then yes. Instacart can deliver groceries right to your doorstep, even if you live in an apartment!
