Beside that, I'd also say that folks here are correct in that a few hours isn't going to make any difference to something already processed to last for days in deli cases. Now, if it's slimy or smelly...

Now as to this instacart delivery, how do you know that the meats were sitting out at room temperature for 4 hours? The store I have ordered deliveries from that uses instacart has coolers to hold the orders until they are picked up. Even if they had been left out, meats and such are usually picked at the same time and end up bagged together. It takes a while for a bunch of chilled items packed together to warm up. So they would not have been above best keeping temperatures for the entire time. At worst they will not keep as long.
The Instacart shopper was told to keep the refrigerated/frozen stuff separate from the rest, and to bring that in first. For the most part, he did what he was supposed to, but the lunchmeat was in the same bags as with the room temp storage items... which were left on a table for four hours.

I'd toss it.
My MIL used to leave the Thanksgiving turkey out overnight and serve sandwiches for the next 2 days. The first time I had one I didn't know the turkey was left out overnight. When I figured that out it was the last time I ever ate any past Thanksgiving, itself.
Having said that, they whole bunch of them survived and my FIL died at 92. Maybe it just made them stronger!
But I'd still toss it.

This.
Unless the ambient air temperature is 80º or so, the package open, deadly cultures about, and a good breeze, this is nothing.
As a venerable MRFer once pointed out, if pizza left out overnight were dangerous, there would be dead frat boys everywhere.
Or something like that.
This is nothing.

Why Paul F? Ain't he from the UK? Does he have special expertise with old meat? Inquiring minds don't really need to know, but?

Most lunch "meat" would probably be fine after 4 days...
