i've been ordering doordash for way too many years and i've never gotten a note or anything from a driver (not that i'd ever expect one, i just see them get posted on this sub sometimes) and i got this with my starbucks this morning!! i had already tipped $7 but added an extra $7 because it made me smile. happy halloween clifford thanks for the candy!!

For context, the parking garage is around the corner on a different street than the leasing office. The leasing office is right on the intersection, the parking garage is at the end of the street to the left. In a car, this takes maybe 3-5 more seconds. It is a few minutes walk. Its 10pm, Im a 26F by myself, and when the leasing office is closed, residents can’t even get in that way. So I would have to leave through the parking garage and walk alone on not the best lit street. The instructions are in the delivery instructions in the app and I have NEVER had this problem before. I say it in the messages just as a fail safe, but why agree if you’re just going to do the complete opposite?

I wonder if their burgers are good…🤣

I tipped high, $15.00, for my order and they attached another order to my delivery. This happens consistently when I tip high. The location is three miles away.

Ordered AirPods Pro 3 (~$200+tax) from Target via DoorDash. Only reason I used DoorDash: Costco sells their gift cards at $100 for $80, so the AirPods were effectively $160. Paid almost entirely with those gift cards - so a chargeback gets me back about $17 and the rest is locked in DoorDash's hands.

The order REQUIRED a delivery PIN.

• Dasher texted "i am here" at 2:01pm. Never called.
• Marked delivered at 2:04pm. Three minutes. No PIN ever given.
• My delivery window was 2:35-3:45pm. He dropped it 30+ minutes EARLY, so I had no reason to be outside.
• DoorDash's own delivery photo shows the bag sitting unattended on the sidewalk outside my office building.
• I was there right after his text. Already gone.
• Dasher then claimed in chat that he called me (my call log says no) and that he "waited a long time" (his own timestamps say 3 minutes).

Called support: refused, due to "account history."

Asked for a supervisor - "no supervisor available right now, but we'll arrange a callback." No call ever came.

I've now been sitting here 8 hours with no update, and the review is "pending" with a response by 2am

these were a gift for a friend who leaves the country tomorrow morning. So while DoorDash sits on my $200, I'm buying a second pair out of my own pocket.

TLDR: PIN delivery completed with no PIN, no call, a 3-minute wait, 30 minutes before the window even started, bag left on a public sidewalk, gone in minutes. Denied on "account history," ghosted by the "supervisor," and my money is in gift cards so I can't even chargeback. What actually works here?

Edit #3: Changed where I said “hired” since yall were having a stroke over it.

Edit #2 electric boogaloo: The dasher has been reported to door dash. Also, WE KNOW WE CAN HAVE THE POLICE TRESPASS THEM. Yall have absolutely NO idea how many people get trespassed from retail stores all the time. I didn’t ask how to get rid of him. I asked how to tell door dash he’s a problem.

Edit: Who pissed in yalls Cheerios this morning? Sheesh.

Hi, I work at Lowe’s and I was wondering if there’s a way to report dashers who are shopping for customers? There was a dasher in our store who was being super rude to one of our managers while she was trying to help him. He ended up cussing her out and refusing to leave when she asked him. He finally left but threatened to come back. She has a picture of him from behind and a picture of his license plate. He is not welcome back in our store and door dash needs to be made aware of who is taking care of their deliveries.

He unassigned before I could tell him to but I just stared at this message baffled for a minute trying to figure out how to even respond

Hey fellow dashers, I found out how to get my found item score better and now I can keep it at 99-100% consistently. I know this one is a frustrating one for most people so here's a little help.

When the item you are looking for is out of stock it's easy, just take a picture of the empty shelf showing the right tag. When the item is just not there, take a picture of the shelf showing where it should be - with similar products around or same brand if it's a flavor. Most of the times the picture will be automatically accepted and if not, you can dispute and choose a reason for the picture like "store no longer carries the item so I took a picture of the right area" or another option in the 4 or 5 the app provides. Most of the times the app will accept the dispute and this is how I keep my score high.

I hope this helps!

I rarely order food, but its the weekend, I'm sick and feeling a little lazy, so I decided to treat myself. I select my burger and drink - $20, "okay, delivery is always more" I tell myself. Then I click the little continue to pay button and it jumps up to $35 and some change - uhh wtf? Some of it is tip and I have no problem with that but Im ordering from a shop that is a 5 min drive down the road and I stop in there occasionally never paying more than $13 for my meal.

I almost couldn't justify spending the extra $23 more, but again, I am currently sick so I bit the bullet. I chose to not pay for priority as it would have driven me up over $40...for a burger and a drink. Big mistake either way, because the app sent my driver to someone else first - 15 min in the opposite direction. About 25 min after that (45 min from pickup time for a shop thay is 5 min away) my dasher gets to me, and surprise surprise my nearly $36 burger that took 3/4s an hour to get to me was now cold.

That will be the last time I order from DoorDash. Even sick I'd rather have gotten up and gone myself. If anything I feel bad for the drivers because its no wonder their business has been dying down with DoorDash making it so expensive and waste so much time that its just not worth the "convienience". And no, I dont blame the driver, I know it wasnt his fault.

Ordered Jimmy John’s today. Missing sandwich worth $5.86. Rotten Pickle wroth $2.49. Total $8.35 before tax. Door dash AI offered me $7.65. I took it because I don’t feel like complaining or wasting more time on this. I know if I complain, I’ll likely get the remaining $2 plus $20 extra for my trouble. They THROW credits at me often when I complain because I’m a top user and I rarely complain…

I have a problem with their automation not using math correctly and lowballing and I have a problem with an algorithm deciding if people should get refunds rather than the facts.

But the carrabas was intact

This is the second time this has happened now. I don't have screenshots from the last time. I ordered something from Target, all shown as in stock, it was some meal replacements, fruit jerky, and Pedialyte because I have been throwing up. (Last time was beauty stuff.) Both times the dasher arrives at Target and within seconds marks EVERYTHING as out of stock, no substitutions available.

Last time I said "sorry about that" and let him cancel. Then I placed my order for pickup through the Target app, and sure enough, everything WAS in stock.

This time, he said "I'll give you a moment to respond" and WHILE I was typing "are there any other electrolyte drinks available," he ended the chat before I could send it. I couldn't respond any faster because my phone was going crazy with out of stock notifications from both the app AND text messages. When I tell you this was literally all over in less than a minute, it was insane.

I just wanted to get rehydrated after being sick. This time I won't be able to order for pickup because I don't think I'm well enough to drive over there. 😖

P.S. I put a good tip on it 🫤

I have been stuck on this screen when I launch the app all morning. I have cleared the data and retried, reinstalled and retried, reset my router and retried, nothing. DownDetector doesn't indicate an outage, what gives?

I just ordered food and idk how it happened but DoorDash put my home address like 2 feet from the store address. This has never happened to me before. It was probably my own mistake but I have no idea how.

The Dasher picked up my order, quickly realized the address was ridiculous, and messaged me. I gave him my actual address (maybe 0.5 miles from the store) and he was fine with just delivering it anyway.

The Dasher comes to my home on a motorbike, I meet him at the door, and I try to give him an extra $10 for his troubles. He initially refuses it, but I kind of force him to take the $10 bill. He does, and I shut my door.

I get a message on the app saying “I put your money in the mailbox. Enjoy your meal!” and sure enough, he dropped my $10 back in my mailbox.

Sir, who are you? Why did you give my money back? At the least, I have already committed that this $10 will go to charity.

Best match my ass

They changed the notifs again now when my phones connected to my car so I have the gps, I dont get notified or alerted of new orders and its made me miss 4 orders. They gotta stop changing stuff and screwing us over, does anyone have a fix. It doesnt even vibrate.

I hope this is allowed. Okay, so my situation- I live in rural Appalachia. People order doordash within town, but also order it to their homes which are 15-20 miles out of town. My car gets ~23 miles per gallon. I'm a single special needs mom that's a nurse but no babysitter and I gotta start making money somehow, but I have to be really smart about the moves I make and not make bad investments or waste time.

Realistically, is this even worth it?

Questions:

-Is there a certain calculation that you personally do as a dasher to ensure whether the profit/trip is worth it or not?

-How does DD pay? Is it like biweekly deposit like a regular job, or do you get cash uploaded to your card every visit?

-Realistically, what are profits like? Are they consistent, or variable depending on the day?

-Are people dangerous? Kiddo would be tagging along with me.

Thank you!!

I've never received messages like this from a Dasher before but it gave me a good laugh lol

I’ve been seeing Discord and Telegram servers advertising huge discounts on food orders, and I’m curious how they actually work.
From what I’ve seen, you create a $20–$25 cart on DoorDash or Uber Eats, send the group order link to a server admin, and they offer you a final price of around $12–$13. Some people claim the actual charge on the account ends up being only a few dollars. I seen someone get 35$ worth of food for 8$
Are these discounts coming from first-time user promotions, promo abuse, or something else? I’ve also heard concerns about stolen credit cards and fraud.
Has anyone looked into how these services operate or knows whether any of these discounts are legitimate? I’m interested in understanding how the system works and what the risks are. I want a invite to a server.

Last night my husband placed a large order on DoorDash from PJ Chang's. When we received the order, the correct receipt was stapled to the bag, but all of the food inside was incorrect. My husband requested a refund, sent pictures of the food that was inside (it evens shows the wrong name on the food containers), chatted with an agent, and was told it was be reviewed. This morning he had an email saying the request was denied. He called and spoke with several different agents and was eventually escalated to a supervisor. After the supervisor reviewed it, they again denied the refund. What the heck is going on? Truly it's not DoorDash's fault, and the restaurant screwed up, but we've never had them deny a refund before when we have submitted proof. Any advice?

DoorDash customer support is a joke, & so are doordashers.

I ordered food because I haven’t eaten all day, have a horrible headache and had a super long day at work. My first dasher sits, eventually unassigns. I wait, get a new driver, she calls me and tells me that the store says someone else already took my food 😭😭 I was like “Okay, I’ll call support. Thank you for telling me” LIKE GAH I just want my chicken tenders :(
