Contact Uber Eats Support

Had horrible service from Ubereats when I was using them five years ago, again and again, consecutively bad, along with terrible support for said horrible service, and decided never to use them again. As stated, it’s been five years. They offered a $25 off an order of $30 to come back to the app. Decided to chance it. What a surprise, it’s been hours and as usual, our food hasn’t been picked up so by the time we’d finally (maybe) get it, it’d be so cold and disgusting that I wouldn’t want to eat it. Canceled the order and asked for a refund for that exact reason, and the cheapskates wouldn’t let me keep the promo. I ordered this as a very rare treat for myself, and the entire app failed to deliver. Hasn’t changed despite the passing of five years. Y’all probably would have more drivers if you paid them a living wage instead of the disgusting “by order” pay that you do in order to get the most work out of people for so little pay that they have to work for multiple delivery apps at the same time in order to scrape by. But nah, why be decent when you can make cash hand over fist that you’ll never be able to spend on one lifetime. UPDATE: after the app crashing multiple times and support being, unsurprisingly, the worst, instead of cancelling the order and giving us a refund, they’ve allowed someone to pick it up despite the fact that the restaurant is now LONG closed. Crappy app. Crappy support. Cold and inedible food. Use them at your own risk.

So I have to say I have successfully used Uber eats many times. That said if something goes wrong, there is absolutely no recourse. Recently, after trying to find a restaurant in my area to pick some food up from I placed an order. It was for a Vietnamese restaurant that I had been wanting to try in my neighborhood. Except the one in my neighborhood had closed a few months before without me knowing it. The one I was clicking on was three cities and about 45 minutes away. The moment I place the order and the address came up I realized the mistake. I quickly called the restaurant and told them not to make the order. They said they would cancel it and suggested I reach out to the app. I tried to call the app immediately but there is no phone number. Anywhere. Customer service literally does not exist. Finally a few days later I track down an email. I made the complaint. I told them it had been only 90 seconds from ordering to cancellation. I told him the restaurant confirmed that they had never made the order. But they don’t care. They sent me an auto generated reply and charged me $23 for a meal I never had. A few friends told me this is happened to them as well, as if the app is intentionally suggesting places that are too far away. I suggest you call the restaurant directly and have their delivery people bring the food or use another app with real customer service. I certainly hope this isn’t a window into a human less future. Sad. And expensive.

**update** I received a response from Apple saying the app developer responded to my review. It seemed like they wanted to help resolve my issue, but no direct contact information to get the help. I am tired of continually emailing the “help” link (which was the only contact info included in the email) and getting a different person every time, and they do not actually help me! I did it twice and no help, and that’s why I’m submitting this review. ** I placed and then canceled an order literally 30 seconds after I placed the order. The reason I cancelled was I did not see that the order said “for pick-up” and I wanted delivery. I didn’t even know that when ordering through Uber eats there are other options?? I’ve never seen that before. Anyways, they said the restaurant had already started making the order and that’s why I was still charged. This was completely false because I called the restaurant a few minutes later and they had not started making the order and received the cancellation successfully. I submitted for help through the app and I received an email that, as a courtesy, I would receive a refund. It’s been two weeks and no refund. I submitted for help again only to get an email saying they issued the refund and I need to check with my bank. My bank, obviously has not received anything. Uber is being very deceitful and likely has fraudulently received millions of dollars because of situations like this. I will not use them ever again.
