Kroger: lost package
Report missing delivery items to the company that fulfilled the order (Kroger or Instacart).
What does this mean?
Grade B (good: mostly official pages; check the flagged values before relying on them). 100% of 9 sources are the organization's own pages or government sites; only 9 sourced values, so the entry is thin.
Collect
- order number
- receipt email
- list of missing items
Steps
Check the order confirmation to see whether Kroger or Instacart fulfilled it.
For a Kroger-fulfilled order, call Kroger customer service.
For an Instacart-fulfilled order, contact Instacart.
If you are not refunded, dispute the charge with your card issuer.
