Grocery delivery service Instacart is announcing it is implementing a $.40 “fuel surcharge” amid a spike in gasoline prices.
"We’re implementing a temporary surcharge on customer orders to help offset the increased cost of gas over the next month. This surcharge will add an additional $.40 on customer orders across our marketplace, with a clear indication of the fuel surcharge on the batch before you accept it. Every cent of the new, temporary fuel surcharge will be passed directly onto the shopper," a statement from Instacart reads.
