Are there any restrictions on items I can purchase through Instacart?

Asked 5 months ago
Yes, there are certain restrictions on items that can be purchased through Instacart. Instacart partners with various retailers and grocery stores, which may have their own rules regarding the sale of specific items. For example, alcohol, tobacco products, and certain household chemicals often require age verification or are not available for delivery in some regions due to local laws and regulations. Perishable items, such as fresh produce and dairy products, must be handled with care and may have specific guidelines regarding their freshness and quality. Additionally, some stores may have limitations on purchasing items that are in high demand or may have policies against large bulk purchases. It is always a good idea for customers to familiarize themselves with their local store's policies and restrictions while using the Instacart app. For the most accurate and up-to-date information, customers may want to check the items' availability directly in the app or website before placing an order. If there are specific concerns or questions regarding item restrictions, customers can refer to the relevant sections on the Instacart website for guidance.
