Ordered groceries from Instacart, unsure about the condition. Thoughts?

About two hours ago, my shopper started shopping for food, then delivered it about ten minutes ago. I'm uncertain of the condition of some cold foods, including meat. Doesn't help that I'm a newbie at cooking. What are your thoughts?

My shopper started shopping for food, having to make some replacements, and whatnot. They checked out about an hour ago, then it took them about an hour to deliver the food to me (minor delays). I'm most concerned about the ground beef and chicken breasts I got.

The milk arrived still cold, no problem, but the ice cream tub I had ordered was kind of squishy, although not completely liquidified yet. The ice cream was very soft and didn't require any effort to scoop. The chicken breast (this is my first time ordering one, so I am not sure if this is normal) felt very soft to the touch, a bit velvety, if that makes sense, and the ground beef looks OK, but I can't tell if it's gone bad or not.

How nervous should I be about the condition and safety of the cold stuff I received? I had to bulk order today because I'm in the DC area, and want to make sure I have enough food this weekend to stay safe and stay home, but would be willing to report the food as damaged to Instacart and re-shop tomorrow quickly. I don't want to waste food, however, so how certain would you be/how can I tell if it's safe or not?

Many thanks! Happy New Year, and hope all are safe and well.
