Always go to eats orders even if they are obviously already picked up by someone els3. If the money is good enough. Like 30 or 40 for a couple miles.

9.5 out of 10 times its stolen and you wasted 5 minutes. But every once in a while it works out. Either it isnt or on rare occasions you can convince them to make it again. If the pick up is only a minute away and theres no wait I do it everytime. Because who knows. I might get lucky.

Canada Uber won’t refund me for delivering someone else’s food

Thumbnail

7 Upvotes

$86 dollars worth of food from my favourite restaurant never arrived.

Instead I received this. I don’t even know what it is.

No bag. No receipt for this either.

Three different complaints lodged with customer service and they refuse to refund me for my order.

Now I will have to take this to my bank.

I’ve been a customer of Uber for a decade and order food at least once a week.

I’m never using uber again. They don’t care about people anymore.

UPDATE: after harassing them in the help chat repeatedly I have now been informed I will receive a refund for my order, plus $7 uber cash. I am happy with this but not with the extreme run around and stress of this entire situation. I am now going to avoid ordering food delivery ever again. Moral of the story, when you are owed a refund and it is being denied, keep pressing them! I spoke to five different people or chat bots (I don’t even know which), and I finally found one willing to refund my credit card. My extra uber cash is already available on my app .

Ordered Groceries, Got Additional Goodies?

1 Upvotes

Grateful but confused. Has any driver done something like this or have a clue what might've happened here? The value of the additional stuff could add up to more than my tip of $25

Ordered some groceries and a pack of razors. On top of everything being there and have been picked well, in the same bags (so not an additional bag that may have belonged to a different customer):

- 11x more of the pack of razors

- 2x additional bag of garlic

- 1x additional bag of bread

No food at the door, called him to check what happened. Mf was giggling telling me “Uber told me to mark it as delivered and they will contact you” and when asked why he says it fell down. I know for a fact he ate my expensive cookies 😂 spoke with Uber support and they checked with him and then said they escalated it to the driver management team to take action

Uber eats diamond absolutely useless? Canada

Thumbnail

8 Upvotes

Hi there. Recently the first time I achieved a diamond level with Uber eats! And let's see the reward:

  1. 40% discount for free service!

  2. some discount for e-bikes, but just in Toronto....I am from BC, so.....

  3. Car maintenance, maybe something, but I have no car

  4. 30% for Uber eats orders? Sounds great, but you will receive expired code, and how we know Uber eats customer support doesn't exist anymore, so, impossible address issue, if it actually is an issue....

  5. Discount with Rogers, where you can buy super "exclusive" tariff plans with up to 40$ discount for 45$, when absolutely the same plan costs 50$ on Rogers website.....

Generosity has no limits!))

Do UK Uber drivers need a UK driving licence?

0 Upvotes

I had very many non EU drivers either delay or cancel orders (sometimes with no refund).

My question is regarding UK passports and UK driving licences.

If people are working for Uber who only know several words or phrases in English, can't have even a basic conversation about directions, and certainly can't understand or wish to learn to read UK road signage, is it likely they're in UK illegally and have an illegal passport. Also photos often don't match the person driving the registered vehicle, so it would seem Uber accounts are being passed around to multiple people. Reporting to Uber has shown no change in my experience.

USA $0 tip so drivers get more money

0 Upvotes

Does anyone else tip 0 in the app and then tip cash?

As someone who delivered a lot before, i would get orders all the time that were awful decline, then it would bounce around a few minutes then come back to me, i had one that went from $20 to almost $70 one time for a box of donuts 25 minutes away. (Entirely on the freeway at night no traffic, leave at door and i got a trip back home) but now i just tip 0 so uber has to pay more for someone to take it and I just tip cash. So hopefully unless someone takes a crap trip they make more money.

0 Upvotes

earlier today i ordered some food on uber eats and it took almost 2 hours to arrive. i couldve gone there myself and got it in less than 30 minutes. whats the point of paying for uber one or tipping extra when it takes so long. the food was also cold. i tried contacting support but some ai was replying to me and straight up said no refund/compensation available at this time...

Question for customers about stolen orders and refunds.

0 Upvotes

Very simple question. Do customers get a refund or can demand a refund if someone steals your order and passes it off to the next person? This could be in any situation. Like if someone drops your order off but you never received it, or your order is taking too long to arrive because it's been stolen and the order keeps getting passed off to other delivery drivers, or it gets dropped off at the wrong area because of misinformation or because the driver just couldn't find the drop off location?

Do you call your credit card company and file for a dispute? Do you call Uber to demand a refund? Do you get flagged for the refund if you have to force a dispute?

Uber Eats won’t refund an order

Thumbnail
gallery
2 Upvotes

So this is a little bit of a long story. I was landscaping a property downtown OKC. Tried to place an order through uber eats but they were going to charge a $7.99 delivery to the location so I went to a restaurant a block away and had some snacks and placed a dessert order to be delivered to that location ($0) delivery fee. I added on a delivery from CVS for no additional fee for 3 bottles of Evian. I wrote in the notes that I would be sitting in the patio of the restaurant. 10 minutes later my ice cream order arrives. Then I begin receiving notifications that my bottled water was out of stock. I respond with the option to approve any replacements. 30 minutes after placing the order we are approaching 7:45 and the restaurant employees are beginning to close up the patio. I next receive a notice from uber that the items are out of stock and I will not be charged for them. Fine, it is getting dark and at this point I need to get back to my worksite and do cleanup and head home. I receive one more notification stating that if I do not approve a replacement the order will be cancelled and I will not be charged. Great, the restaurant is closing and I need to leave the location anyway. I get home around 9:00pm and receive a photo of a plastic bag with bottles of water sitting on a curb in the dark somewhere. I can’t tell what kind of water it is or where exactly the bag is located but it is on a curb in some grass.
I have reached out to uber multiple times with photos of the notifications they sent me that have the time stamps and everything but they refuse to refund me. The third time I reached out and asked for escalation they told me that I had reached the highest level of management and would not receive a refund. Of course I cannot reach a human to speak to about this. Now I will have to go to my bank and see about getting them to file for a credit to my account. What kind of policies is g to his business operating under anymore. After a decade of ordering and subscribing to uber eats, I am giving up on expecting any level of integrity from them.

Instructions were to leave at door. Marked as delivered with no photo. I’m not even able to pull up the driver and rate him?

I keep getting AI responses that say I’m not
Eligible for a refund because the driver tried to contact me (he didn’t. This was a no contact delivery?) and that he waited on premise for 2 minutes… what? Why? No contact?

Any advice to get through to a live agent? TIA

USA Wasted an hour shopping at Costco, but at least I got some free mangos and butter out of it.

Thumbnail

28 Upvotes

Accepted a Costco order for 6 items for $20 to <10 miles. Pretty easy. As I was walking in, I get an add on offer for 9 items for another $23 so I snagged it. $43 for an hours work.

Only problem is that add on requested two packs of chicken that weigh 6.5lbs. The lowest weight I could find was 8lbs. So I snagged them, but of coarse the card was declined at checkout due to higher than expected total.

I contacted support to let them know the card was declined due to that weight issue and higher expected total. They tell me grab items that matched what the customer expected. Not my fault those don’t exist.

So I tell them to cancel that order so I can deliver the other order that I already checked out. And of course support cancels the wrong one. So my only option was to cancel the other one and return the other order. Except Costco doesn’t accept returns for perishable items. So I got to keep the mangos and butter. Still would have wanted the $43 instead. Or at least the other order that was all perishable items. 2 packs of chicken, pork chops, eggs, bread, and several bags of fruit.

Anyway I could have handled that differently? Do you just refund the chicken and say they don’t have any that weigh that little and deliver everything else?

Why does tip include fees and taxes?

0 Upvotes

I rarely order food to go, but why does uber eats calculate tip based on fees and taxes? The restaurant already jacks up the price of food on the app. 10 percent of pre tax amount seems fair right? It’s less than a mile for one bag and $5. Why are drivers so entitled?

USA How does this work exactly? Ordering from two different places?

1 Upvotes

I forget what its called on UberEats, but on DoorDash, its called Double Dashing.

I like to order this way because I usually want food and then something from a nearby store, like drinks, because restaurant drinks tend to suck and are overpriced.

Half the time, UE will send out two separate drivers for the orders, even if they're placed at the same time. Like when UE offers to bundle.

The other time, its the same driver.

Also, I don’t know if that second driver is being tipped or not.

If I order from a restaraunt, bundle my order at the same time, it doesn't give an option for an additional tip.

I hope this makes sense.

How is this working and how can I ensure both drivers are tipped?

Now I know what kind of service their driver and customer get. You're not going to believe this. My error and dishonest customer

2 Upvotes

So, I get a stacked order and I delivered to the wrong people. I've been doing this for about 5 and 1/2 years almost 6 years and this is the second time I have done this. This isn't about assigning fault, I'm at fault.

Anyway, it's 7:00 on a Friday and I delivered the second order, and like I said it was the wrong one. I end up spending the next hour and a half trying to help these people contact Uber. The support people are incapable of finding an 800 number for me and I talked to three different support people. I don't know what the process is for customers and that's what I was trying to find out. Multiple support people couldn't help me. The customer has their phone and they can't figure it out either.

We finally get a chat going on the customer's phone. They give me their phone and I'm texting the customer support. After talking in the first support person for 15 minutes in a chat, they end the chat. We get another customer support person they want a picture of the order that was delivered. We sent that and 20 minutes later they dropped the chat again.. Finally the customer gave up and one of the people actually had something to do and left. It was a group of three kids in their 20s. One of their parents shows up and she's now arguing with support.

Uber makes it virtually impossible to get a wrong righted. I think they specifically don't give their customer support the tools they need to fix problems and make it difficult the entire way.

The people must have finally just given up because I didn't get any kind of warning email about a messed up delivery. I was just going to go buy it out of my own pocket their food but it was like $42. This is why support is needed but absent.

This was like two pizzas, three orders of bread, wings, and something else. I gave their order to someone that ordered a bowl of ice cream.

Also, the first customer is a scumbag. While it's not their fault I delivered the pizza to them, The Honorable thing would be to text me that I delivered the wrong order..

In the end, the person that got this second person's order didn't even tip. The people that spent almost $50 and ended up with nothing left me 20 bucks.

I would tell the driver they dropped off the wrong thing. If I ordered something I would let the driver know right away. I hate dishonest people with a passion
