Instacart works with your local grocery and liquor stores to quickly deliver wine, beer, spirits, mixers, snacks, and party supplies. The platform is technically free to use, but you’ll pay a delivery and service fee unless you’re an Instacart+ member. Those fees typically average about 10% of your total order but will vary based on retailer, size of your order, and speed. There are also add-on fees for heavy orders or rush delivery, and you’ll also want to factor in a tip for your delivery driver. If you plan on ordering frequently, we recommend springing for the $9.99 a month Instacart+ membership, which can significantly cut down on the fees you pay.
Stock and pricing depend on your neighborhood retailer, but you can expect all the big brands and bar essentials, as well as some craft brews, bottles from local distillers, and exclusive wines. They should cost you the retail price or a little more, although Instacart also regularly runs deals and promotions to save you some money. In many markets, you can also shop big-box stores like Costco and Sam’s Club through Instacart, even if you don’t have a membership, which is great if you’re stocking up for a party.
Keep in mind that an adult with a valid ID must be home to receive alcohol deliveries, and Instacart won’t deliver alcohol to businesses or college addresses.
