Cancellation Instacart: Easy Method
What is Instacart
Instacart is an online grocery delivery and pickup service that connects shoppers with local retailers so customers can order groceries and other household items for delivery or store pickup. In Canada it operates through the Instacart app and the Canadian website (Instacart.ca), coordinating orders, shoppers, and retailer policies on a per-order basis.
How to cancel Instacart
You can cancel orders yourself before a shopper begins shopping for a full refund without additional fees. If shopping has already started or the order is in delivery, cancellation may incur a fee and requires contacting Instacart Customer Experience.
- Via the app: Open Orders > select the order > Help > Cancel order. See the official help page: Cancel an order (Instacart.ca).
- Via the web: Go to Your Orders > View order detail > Need help with something? > Cancel order. If shopping has started or the order is out for delivery, contact Instacart Customer Experience for assistance; a cancellation fee of up to $15 may apply in those cases. (Help article).
What happens when you cancel
If you cancel before a shopper begins, the order is stopped and you will receive a refund for applicable charges; your Instacart account and any memberships remain active unless you cancel them separately. If cancellation occurs after shopping begins or during delivery, the order may already have incurred shopper time and fulfillment costs; Instacart may charge a cancellation fee (see below). Order histories and receipts typically remain visible in your account for record-keeping and dispute purposes.
Will I get a refund?
When you cancel before shopping begins, Instacart will issue a full refund without additional cancellation fees. If you cancel after shopping has started or during delivery, Instacart may charge a cancellation fee of up to $15 and you will need to contact Customer Experience. For missing, damaged, spoiled, or unusable items, you must request a refund within 7 days of delivery for Instacart to process it; refunds are processed immediately by Instacart but may take additional time to appear on your bank or card statement. If you report issues within 24 hours you may receive a same‑day refund where the original charge is adjusted directly; an alternate policy reference requires reporting missing or damaged items within 4 days for credit or refund equal to the amount paid (retailer return policies may apply for high‑value items). See: Refunds and item issues and Reporting missing or damaged items.

Your consumer rights in Canada
Instacart purchases are subject both to Instacart’s policies and to the retailer’s in‑store return rules. Many Canadian retailers set their own timeframes and methods for returns - examples include Save‑On‑Foods (returns within 14 days), Costco (up to 90 days), Shoppers Drug Mart (30 days), and Walmart (up to 120 days), with refunds often issued as store credit or gift card depending on the retailer. Service and convenience fees charged by Instacart are generally non‑refundable under platform policy. In addition to platform policies, Canadian consumer protection laws may provide statutory remedies for defective goods or services not provided as advertised; if you believe your statutory rights are affected, you can contact your provincial consumer protection agency for guidance or dispute resolution.
Customer experiences
User reports are mixed. Positive feedback notes that many customers receive complete orders delivered by reliable shoppers. Negative experiences commonly cited include missing items, incorrect substitutions, spoiled or rotten food, late or incomplete deliveries, items left in inappropriate locations, unexpected or unauthorized charges, and frustration obtaining refunds or credits. Several users report challenges with customer service, including unhelpful agents and heavy reliance on automated support, which can make some refunds or disputes harder to resolve.
Documentation checklist
- Order number and date/time of delivery or scheduled pickup
- Photos of any damaged, spoiled, or incorrect items and packaging
- Screenshot of your order receipt or order details from the app/website
- Record of any chat or email exchanges with Instacart or the shopper
- Payment method and last four digits of the card used
Common mistakes
Common errors include waiting too long to report missing or damaged items (missing the 4‑ or 7‑day windows referenced in Instacart help), assuming service or membership fees will always be refundable, cancelling after a shopper has started without contacting Customer Experience and then being surprised by a cancellation fee, and failing to gather photos and receipts before contacting support. Another frequent issue is relying solely on automated chatbots without escalating to a human agent when documentation is needed to secure a refund.
Comparative recap
| Method | Refund | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|
| Cancel before shopping begins | Full refund, no extra cancellation fee | Easy |
| Cancel during shopping or delivery | Possible refund less cancellation fee (up to $15); contact Customer Experience | Medium - High |
| Report missing/damaged/spoiled items | Credit or refund equal to amount paid if reported within timeframe (see help pages) | Medium |
After cancelling
After you cancel, check your order history and payment statement for the refund. Instacart processes refunds promptly but banks or card issuers may take additional time to post them. For refunds and reporting item issues see Refunds and item issues (Instacart.ca) and the missing/damaged item guidance at Report missing or damaged items. If you must send a written cancellation request by mail, use registered mail (raccomandata A/R) and clearly mark the envelope and letter as a cancellation request; keep copies of all documents and tracking information.
Address
For mailed cancellation requests or correspondence: 190 Liberty St, Suite 200, Toronto, ON M6K 3L5, Canada. Use registered mail and keep proof of delivery when sending official cancellation notices.
