Can Instacart Deliver Tobacco?

Instacart deliveries can take anywhere from 15 minutes to two hours, but the average order delivery time is 45 minutes.

Under California state law, it is illegal for a cigarette company to deliver cigarettes to an individual in the state. This means that Instacart would need to put in place a mechanism to ensure that it’s not delivering cigarettes directly to individuals. This could include using a delivery person who only delivers other items to consumers' homes, or setting up a system where customers have to first purchase items from the Instacart store before they can order cigarettes.

There may be several reasons why Instacart would say no delivery times are available. Sometimes the shop's labor is backlogged, meaning that there are too many orders being processed at once and not enough help to handle them. Other times, the store could be totally devoid of shoppers because it's closed or they're all grocery shopping instead! If you need your order as soon as possible, our recommendation is to wait until next time someone becomes available to take your order, or try ordering from a different store on Instacart.

You must be 21 or older to deliver tobacco.

Yes, Instacart guarantees 95% delivery on time according to their FAQ page. Additionally, they offer a range of scheduling options which can help with on-time arrivals. For example, you can select order delivery times that fall within peak traffic hours and off-peak delivery hours. If your order doesn’t arrive by the guaranteed delivery date or if there is an issue with your order (like incorrect items), Instacart will contact you directly to resolve the situation. What are Instacart set delivery slots? Instacart sets specific delivery times for certain zip codes. This information is available on their website under the “Delivery Location Plug-In”. For example, orders placed in ZIP code 90210 during the morning hours from 8am to 11am will have a Thursday morning delivery slot. Orders placed in other zip codes during these same hours won’t have a specific delivery slot and may be delivered on any weekday.
