How to cancel an Instacart Express membership if the grocery delivery service no longer fits your needs

• You can cancel your Instacart Express Membership at any time.
• If you cancel within the first 15 days of your membership and haven't placed any orders, you'll receive a refund for the membership.

Instacart is an app that brings you groceries on-demand. Like food delivery services DoorDash and Uber Eats, they're brought right to your door with safe, no-contact delivery.

You can shop at local grocery and convenience stores with Instacart. Once you place your order, a personal shopper will be sent to pluck your items off the shelves, check out, and drop them off on your doorstep. Because Instacart workers are freelancers, make sure to tip.

For $9.99 a month - or a cheaper $99 annual cost - you can purchase an Instacart Express Membership. You'll get free deliveries for orders over $35 and reduced service fees on all orders.

But if you're reading this article, you've likely given that service a try and decided it's not for you.

Canceling is easy and can be done at any time. You can also request to have your free account deleted, but that will require a phone call.
