If you're anything like me and your shoulders are constantly sore from lugging several grocery bags back to your house, being able to utilize delivery companies like Instacart and DoorDash is a lifesaver. Unfortunately, if you use these apps, you might also be no stranger to some pretty questionable item replacements or out-of-stock messages from your shopper when the items are normally in stock. In a statement to BuzzFeed, a DoorDash spokesperson told us that negative experiences like Sammi's "are extremely rare on DoorDash.
" According to them, "less than 1% of grocery orders are reported with missing, incorrect, or defective items." They did, in fact, contact Sammi afterward to give her DoorDash credits and redeliver the items she originally ordered. We only reached out to DoorDash since it was the platform Sammi used, so we can't speak for other delivery services.
What do you think of Sammi's suggestion to request a female shopper on delivery apps? Tell us your thoughts in the comments! BuzzFeed also reached out to Sammi for comment, but did not receive a response..
