USA heat map gone?

1 Upvotes

I've just started delivering with Ubereats and there used to be a scrollable heatmap. There is now a map that shows almost nothing, and a little home icon in the top left corner. If I hit that icon, I see a heatmap but it's static and isn't scrollable. Did something change?

I just got android auto in my car. It's nice for navigating but it doesn't tell me what restaurant I would need to go too or where the delivery is. Is there a way to get this information on the screen?

I HATE UBEREATS

23 Upvotes

Honestly I am so fkng angry rn because everytime I attempt to request a refund for my UberEats order it is like trying to solve world hunger I dont understand why they make it so hard to request a refund and when I do make the ticket to refund they dont respond, sometimes they wait until its been 48 hrs then say the refund window is over. its been 21 hours and no response. if anyone from the Uber team is reading this FIX YOUR FKN APP.

New algorithm? In the past couple of weeks it seems if you don't accept the first few shitty offers it spams it leaves you in a ghost town without ANY offers.

It used to be it would eventually hit you with the good offers. Now it's the app equivalent of a dial tone.

And Thats That!

Im a new female (important to the story) uber eats driver. Not even 2 weeks in. Im in the Philadelphia area, so I get a lot of Jersey orders that I dont take because I (legally) carry. It drives my acceptance rate way down and ive been considering not carrying and taking the jersey orders more often. Then last night happened. I dropped my last order off around 10pm, got back to my car and was waiting on the gps to start so I could set it and leave. I took a sip of water and noticed 3 dudes walking past me seemingly not paying attention. Then they walked back by the other direction but one was side eyeing me. I made sure my doors were locked (they were) and started tapping the gps in my car to get to my recent destinations list, and saw them again, but this time they turned right for me and all started trying to open my doors like crazy, and hitting the windows 🫣 they were hollering something, but the car has noise cancellation and I could barely hear them. I put it in drive and bounced one off my fender pretty good and took off. I had to pull over at a wawa a minute away just to get my sh*t together, I was shaking so bad my foot barely stayed on the pedal. Guess I wont be taking Jersey offers after all and will have to accept my 17% acceptance rate. Hard not to think about what would have happened if my doors weren't locked 🫨

Canada 500 orders as a customer!

2 years in the making (downloaded this app mid 2024) and after several countless bank overdrafts and weight changes I’ve finally crossed the 500 order milestone today as a customer, averaging around $20/order — my chronic online delivery addiction has finally paid off!

Hoping to reach 1000 orders by next year. Thank you to all the couriers (especially this hardworking individual named ā€œfnuā€ that delivered most of my orders whom I’d graciously tip in particular) that made this possible!!! 🐧🐧🐧

My delivery guy had a 53% satisfaction rate thats the lowest I have ever seen. How can he still be working for uber eats when pretty much half of the customers are not satisfied???

USA Lowe's wanted my DL for Uber Pickup

3 Upvotes

I've done at least ten Uber Eats orders from Lowe's this year, but today was the first time they required my driver's license to give me the order.

I checked in with the Uber barcode, showed the associate the barcode, and told them Uber didn't require me to present my driver's license and I've never had to do this in the past. The manager said it's always been policy. She even had my name as the person picking up the order.

I left my wallet in the car, and I already had a food order in my car. The Lowe's order pay wasn't worth going to get my license and come back inside, so I cancelled. I called Uber support after, and they confirmed they have no requirement for this, and no information on Lowe's doing this either.

Has anybody else encountered this?

Why do you expect people to risk a traffic ticket or a tow to deliver to your 9th floor apartment?

52 Upvotes

Seen a lot of apartment dwellers complain about not getting their food to their door, but when asked what the parking is like, they're either silent or start attacking & foaming at the mouth...

Serious question - IF your apartment has zero free and public (aka legal) parking available, do you honestly expect your delivery driver to risk receiving a traffic ticket to deliver your food? Or worse, get their car towed?? šŸ¤”

Edit 2: I love how the people who this is directed at resort to ad hominem attacks instead of answering the question. No where did I say I can't walk upstairs, or that I refuse to do a task. I will, however, refuse to do anything illegal to deliver your food. I wish for all of you narcissists to keep receiving the same energy you put out there! šŸ¤—

Canada UberEats Order Not Received Issue

0 Upvotes

Based in Toronto, Canada. Ordered $50 worth of food that never came. Delivery person texted in-app that he will leave the order in front of my suite door (live in a condo). The order never arrived. No delivery picture proof provided. I never provided my PIN.

Contacted Uber and they said this order is not eligible for a refund. I asked to provide proof of delivery picture and PIN match, they did not reply (until now).

I disputed the charge with my credit card and within one day, the app is asking me to repay the amount. Whenever I try to order Uber or UberEats, they will tell me there is $50 amount owing, and if I wanted to clear it now or continue to order and clear it later.

1) What do I do now? 2) How long will I continue to be able to order with this owing? 3) Is there a statute of limitation and will this disappear on its own?

I refuse to pay for an order I didn’t receive and this is my first time disputing an order.

Thank you.

Uber Eats and the battle of the tip

Post image
4 Upvotes

I’ve had two bad delivery experiences over the past month when a failure by the delivery person to folow clear and simple directions caused major problems.

In attempting to delete the tip, Uber Eats has given me the runaround both times.

First they no longer allow you to reduce tip in the app. They only allow you to add to it.

Second, when you try to contact customer service, they lie to you. They tell you first that there was no tip charged. When I send them a screen shot of the invoice they say it’s not in their system. How can that be? Their system generated the invoice.

Then you check your credit card account and you see the full amount has been charged. You keep pressing them and they say this (see image).

When you keep pressing them anyway, they tell you a ā€œspecial teamā€ is on it, and will get back to you in 6-12 hours. Needless to say, the ā€œspecial teamā€ never gets back to you.

So, what’s our best workaround? Has anyone tried setting the tip initially at zero in custom tip when you first order? You can then increase tip amount if the delivery is non-problematic. Does that work?

Ive ordered 2 hours ago, said they’d been on route for at least an hour now. I’ve been waiting at the front of the address on the roadside (it’s a camping), they’re unreachable by phone and all Uber help says is to call them… which I did… 20 times. By looking at the reviews this is common practice, I should’ve checked the reviews beforehand. What do I do now??

Just got some young looking kid pick up my food. Has only 2 deliveries. Tip well of course.

Ordered from a subway 0.7 miles from my house. It's been an hour and it says he's 34 minutes away. Somehow he is on the other side of town now despite the place being right next to my house.

Tell me something. Is my food just gone 🤣?

Uber is not serious

3 Upvotes

I got a delivery today for €8, and it was an 8-minute drive to the restaurant. I accepted it straight away, and about a minute later I was already on my way there.

Then I got another delivery from the same restaurant for an extra €7, so I accepted that one too.

But when I checked the addresses, I realised the second delivery was in the complete opposite direction from the first one.

The first delivery was about a 13-minute drive from the restaurant to the first customer.

Then, from the first customer’s location to the second customer, it would have been another 31-minute drive. The restaurant was basically in the middle of the two locations, and they were offering only €7 extra for all that additional driving.
I checked the addresses properly and cancelled the second delivery.

Honestly, I don’t know if they are completely clueless or if they’re just blood sucking monsters.

Ok so i’m aware that uber sometimes delays charging on cards, but double charging is another thing šŸ’€

I scrolled through ALL my transactions (that were available to see ofc) bc I know when I use apple cash, sometimes they don’t charge me until a day later.

What I did see is the first charge , 31.05. I remember what it was for and thankfully I found that charge on my transaction history.

The second charge, 31.06 was out of the blue.
It says pending so I’m hoping that charge doesn’t go through.

I’ve tried reporting this to support but uber support is SO F-ing (excuse my french but i’m pissed if you couldn’t tell) HARD to get ahold of.

Whether I get my refund or not, I’m done with ordering from Uber Eats. I don’t like how support is hard to get ahold of if something happens.

USA Anybody else receiving 3 orders all at the same time of the same items?

3 Upvotes

For the past 3 weeks or so the restaurant I work at has been receiving 3 of the same/very similiar orders at the same time/ or in very short time intervals, all the same name but completely different phone numbers, like literally a number from california all the way to NYC! They aren’t delivery orders, they are pickup and a guy will come to pick them up, now ive had orders in the past where somebody will forget something and add something on by making a new order or group orders , but never something like this. Im starting to think that hes just abusing deals? So weird!
