If you don't get good service on GrubHub or wherever, you just complain to their helpline. They give you refunds.

Honestly I have no issues with 95% of delivery orders. And usually the issue is the restaurant's fault.

But that blows for the consumer

95% success rate sucks? It sounds like this person just lives somewhere where all delivery sucks.

Plenty of people move to the middle of nowhere to "get away from it all" and then complain about the lack of service and conveniences. No, a few dollars tip is not enough to pay someone to drive 30 minutes to wherever you decided to live.

The pattern of tip before consumption and call support to resolve is worse than nearly any alternative.

In my experience they don't refund if the driver is 20 minutes late because they went the wrong way or because they decided to take multiple orders. I've even had them drop my food off at the wrong place when I was standing right outside my door waiting for them. The people at the other place tried to tell the driver it didn't belong to them but he just left it with them and left, my neighbour gave it to me. When I complained Door Dash said that because I got my order there was nothing they could do.

Door Dash

That's the problem. Doordash sucks.

I have the option of Door Dash or Skip. I try to only order from places that have in house delivery now.

[–] KevonLooney@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

If you only have those options, it means you live in the middle of nowhere. How can you not have GrubHub or Uber Eats? Those are the only good ones. I would definitely use the in-house delivery before Doordash. Never even heard of the other one.
