If I read all that, do I get my $60 back? No? Then I don't care. It's The Wrong Way.

Huh? No, you'd read that and then not order it in the first place.

> not order it in the first place
Which was OP's conclusion so I'm not sure why understanding the nuances of the pricing is helpful

Nope. The OP was over-generalizing it as inherent to online grocery shopping, the reply pointed out they just need to pick a different seller.

They wanted items from Costco at a fair price. They didn't want items from a "different seller", whatever that would mean. But, sure, pretend that Instacart is doing a good job in the free market or whatever. Everyone else knows that it isn't the right way to do it
Instacart has a notice at the top of each store's page that gives each store's pricing policy. For Costco, it says "Costco sets the price of items on the Instacart marketplace. Prices are higher than your local warehouse. Costco members also do not earn 2% executive reward on Instacart.". For Fred Meyer and several others, it says "Everyday store prices" and links to a policy stating that the prices are the same as in the store.
