14. I believe in all cases so far with ShipT, the shopper is also the driver

I'd still like a little more transparency on how much they mark up the prices. Maybe because I'm an old-style lefty, dunno.

"The only tip that is included is the minimum amount is high is included in the total price"

ShipT claims the entire tip goes to the shopper. And yes, with ShipT one can change the tip too. And yes, ShipT is free delivery for orders $35 or more.

Another thing is that I can't use coupons, or if I can, they certainly don't make that known very well or I'm obtuse. That's a lot of savings. Stores spend a lot of money to print coupons in circulars and newspapers, and I'm sure thay appreciate shoppers who pay full price for everything.

"Instacart was a godsend during the pandemic. "

Well, for me ShipT (or Instacart or whatever grocery delivery service) is a necessity for me until I become mobile again.
