Postmates Reviews

As a person that has been using other food delivery apps for a while I was expecting so much from this app. The first time I used it and item was missing and the driver did not care to clarify it with me. I thought they were inexperienced, so I let it slide. The second time I ordered the driver called and asked to repeat my order, which I did. I repeated it 3 times as to make sure they got it right. When I received my order there was a full meal missing. We were very disappointed because a person of my household had to go without their favorite food. I thought to myself “well, third times the charm”. I placed a small order, the driver called me letting me know about the “system being down” at X place, so they will comp me with a drink. My order already had a drink so I thought “wow, two drinks!”. When the driver came my order was incomplete, had an item missing which he did not mention via the phone call. And they never comped me and never gave me that “free” drink. And my food was the worst quality it has every been.
I don’t know how this app gets their drivers, but they are fully incompetent where I live. They don’t have the decency to call when an item is not available and let the buyer know beforehand. I have never had this issue with other delivery services before I used this app. I’ll stick with the other ones.
Suggestion: At least give some basic training to your drivers on customer service for they are the forefront of your company.

Practically every order I have made on this app has been a nightmare. They charge a ridiculous small order fee, so unless you’re planning on ordering food for an entire family or spending a bare minimum of $20 on a single burger and fries you’re not getting the best deal. When it comes to ensuring that you get what you order the experience is troublesome and annoying at best, and frustratingly egregious at worst. Often the orders are either not checked for accuracy by the drivers or the options you select will be completely disregarded. The drivers I have had the unpleasant experience of interacting with have been all around dissatisfying, in addition to being hard to contact in the first place they’re often rude, condescending, and unprofessional. Trying to get a refund for your inevitability messed up order is akin to pulling teeth without novocaine, Postmates has no live support or even a bot to speak to about fixing mistakes or receiving a refund. Postmates also only gives credit instead of actual money for their refunds, forcing you to order again and repeat the absolute mess of a process I’ve been describing throughout this review if you want to get anything back at all. UberEats, this app, or even GoPuff are much better in every aspect in my opinion, a lot of catch up needs to be played by this app to ever stand a chance at getting my money for some McDonald’s again.

I placed an order to receive a home wrecker burrito at Moes. When I finally get my order it was wrong. I figured no big deal I’ll contact this app. Which I might add is terrible that is only through email and they take forever to reply. I tell them in the email my order was wrong and I even have the wrong receipt. They reply back and said everything I ordered is what I got. I’m looking at the plate they gave me and it’s definitely not the burrito I ordered but someone else’s food which I might add wasn’t even complete because they ordered a meal that was suppose to even come with a drink I didn’t even get. I even took proof of the receipt and the meal I got which definitely doesn’t coincide with what I ordered on Postmates . I reply back to them and they still investigated again and said again what I ordered is what I got. How the hell you going to tell me the burrito I ordered is what I got, when your not even here in my house looking at the plate I have. Long story short they gave me a credit for the issue. I don’t really care about the food. Food is food. But what really bothers me is that fact that they kept telling me what I ordered is what I got and the person who was suppose to get this meal I’m sure got mines or someone else’s. Its the principle what matters. If that’s how this company conducts business than they shouldn’t be running this business. Very unprofessional. I’ll just use the credit and delete Postmates. Terrible service and shame on them.

Postmates is completely bonkers. I just arrived at my hotel after a long drive and needed something to eat desperately. My first attempt to order was accepted and showed it was being prepared. About 5 mins later with a vague “restaurant closed” message my order is cancelled. That’s Awesome, because the restaurant was open, and you said they received the order and began preparing it. Did they run out of a vegetable fried rice? more time wasted and a first round of multiple credit card charges and authorizations. Second order goes through and now hunger has turned to pain has turned to oh no I fell asleep waiting for this joker to say he delivered my order to my door when he snaps a picture of him holding it who knows where, but it most certainly is not at my hotel door, I show no missed calls or messages, and yup, I’ve been fully charged for this foolishness. It’s not even worth the keystrokes or your time at how bad the subsequent order went, or how overly complicated they make billing with multiple required authorizations and transactions for a single order. Not to mention you may think you’re order is delivery charge free or that you ordered extra to avoid “small cart surcharges” but you better double check coz I was shocked to see both of these charges pop on after, when my cart showed both credited and to top it off the order was well over 45 mins beyond the “no later than” time and the delivery persons number was not In service. 🤑

Since this app was taken over by Uber I have had several problems, none of which has been satisfactorily resolved. The latest is that although I selected Apple Pay as my payment method, this app instead charged a debit card that was on file as an alternate payment method, without my authorization. I tried to change my payment method back to Apple Pay, and repeatedly received an error message saying they were unable to complete my request. I contacted support and received replies that said “when you select apply pay, this app can only charge the card associated with your Apple Pay account” which….. is what I wanted this app to do and which in fact they did not do. They charged a debit card they had on file, NOT Apple Pay. After receiving the same copy-paste support response for two days now, I am sure it is past the window of opportunity to change my payment method to the method I originally selected. There is no phone number to contact someone and the email support team obviously either did not read my responses or did not understand them. I removed the debit card that was charged without my authorization and am no longer using this app. I am leaving this review in the hopes that 1)others will be aware that this app arbitrarily changes your selected payment method and 2) maybe I will get a coherent response to my issue, since the support avenues provided haven’t given me that.

This last time I used PM they charged me $60 for two meals which the total didn’t come anywhere near that amount! The food was barely thirty if that, then I was charged $12 in fees, and another $7 in delivery fees for a restaurant not a mile from my house! When i got my order there were two meals in it of what I ordered, rather than what I requested. My mom wanted rice, beans, chips and pico for dinner. She got the chips and pico... that’s it. They also charged me an additional $15 two days later! That brings this order up to $80! I sent in an order issue request and they said they couldn’t do anything about it! My health is horrible so my family frequently uses GH, this app, and UberEats every month if I don’t feel up to cooking. They get a significant portion of my family’s income, but they couldn’t correct the issue? They wouldn’t even give me money back for ALL the stuff that was missing.

This isn’t the first time this has happened; on average this app gets our orders wrong about 70% of the time! Then I usually have someone throwing a tantrum and I have to try to get it fixed. Usually, on average I only get a few bucks back. Typically less than half the cost of whatever was wrong.

Overall this app does NOT care about their customers, they up charge excessively, and add extra charges behind your back. Had I know I was going to be paying $50 extra for dinner I would have ordered from the place down the block.

First time I got food the driver took an hour the place was only five minutes away from the location I was at my food was cold and I’ve had nothing but problems since… and I just placed another order in the restaurant actually canceled itSo I start to chat with the people and they are rude and then if you don’t answer back right away they just drop the whole conversation which I find very very unprofessional. I’m sorry if I can’t sit and chat about it for 30 minutes OK over a $13 order that was canceled they just needed to fix it but I guess it’s too hard for some of these people that work for this app sorry not sorry just keeping it real and this one by far is one of the worst services and just plain rude. I’ve noticed lately and I don’t know if it’s just because lack of drivers but the quality of service has gone down the tubes for a lot of these types of services and I’m not the only one that feels that way UPDATE! They said they refunded it which they never did time and time again they fought with me and got an attitude thank God I deal with Apple and used my Apple card because just now after 10 PM I got my refund the next night? This is the most crooked company and needs to go they told me repeatedly that I got a refund nope I just now got it because Apple investigated it and fixed it. BEWARE THEY TRY TO STEAL MONEY AND NOT GIVE IT BACKTy Apple Card for getting my money that they got an attitude about and said it was refunded when it was not. Awful awful awful app

I have had multiple cases of my orders being marked as delivered when they aren’t actually being dropped off to me. Customer service responses are so generic like they are just cut and paste for every single issue. I once had an order take over an hour and a half before being picked up and so I cancelled it since the food would have been cold anyway and this app told me that they were still going to charge me because the driver picked it up and was in route to my house even though it was an hour after the estimated delivery time. I never once got an update that the order was going to be late. I called the restaurant and they informed me that my food had been sitting there the entire time waiting for a courier.
Other times, Postmates allowed me to order from restaurants that were closed and my order just sat there until I had to manually cancel. I have witnessed drivers slowed down outside my house, mark the items as delivered and drove off without bringing anything to the door. I had a restaurant call me and tell me that they were cancelling my order because the driver was screaming at them trying to get a lot of extra food for free by saying that it was a part of my order. When items are wrong on my order I get told that they won’t refund me even if I’m missing the items that I paid extra for (like guacamole for example). There are so many other food delivery services. No one needs to ever use Postmates.

Can’t even begin to describe how angry I am after not getting what I ordered AND being robbed by hidden service fee! Tried to order food but the menu was from a completely different place. Then I went with my second choice and they had the menu for a different location which led to a phone call from the driver telling me 90% of what I ordered wasn’t available. Now my actual total is completely different from what I actually ordered. App lies on status of order, I’m watching it say my order is being prepared and about to leave for delivery and that’s when I got a call to say nothing I ordered is available. Worse food ordering app I’ve used. Wow! Just noticed an additional sneaky charge, a service fee of 20%, in addition to delivery fee and tip. Unfortunately you don’t even see this until the order is done. When you’re making your order this is hidden in with sales tax but after your card is charged it shows a service fee. This is theft! If I’d have seen a service and delivery fee I never would’ve ordered, but I guess they know this. Postmates is getting deleted immediately. They’d make more money off repeat business if it wasn’t so shady. Instead they choose to steal extra money on a one time transaction. It’s one thing to knowingly overpay for something you want but I not only paid more than I was aware but I didn’t even get what I wanted. Even after I found out they didn’t have the stuff I wanted, my second choices were incorrect also. Total disaster!

This company is unprofessional. After leaving this review, my account was suspended. There’s zero contact information for a customer service line. They have to come to you. You can’t just call them, which is ridiculous. So upon doing so, they get back in about 20-30 minutes saying my account was flagged for suspicious activity and cannot be reinstated at this time. They didn’t tell me why it was suspended (what suspicious activity was apparently being done) nor why they couldn’t fix it. This is ridiculous.

You get less options and selections upon ordering. Take for example, if you order from QDoba, you should have options to add into your order because it’s all custom. You should be able to select what kind of beans, tortilla, meat, rice, etc. you don’t even get half of the options you would get in store and that doesn’t make sense. You don’t actually get to customize anything how you want it, and there’s multiple restaurants with this error. There’s no space to “add additional information” either for a sauce or something you know they have in store, but isn’t being listed as an option here. Also, Postmates works until you actually place your order. Then it shuts down and kicks you out of it completely to where you can’t follow the order or get in contact with someone, should you need to. This has been happening for weeks. Every time I open it, it crashes. But only after the order is made.

I have been using this app for my primary meal delivery service during a self quarantine period and have found it frustrating that there have been several occasions where the specified restaurant menu will not load properly. The screen opens with the category filter bit no menu options are shown or selectable.

Additionally, I have done advanced orders the day ahead to avoid long wait times during peak periods, my orders were confirmed, but at the last minute I find my order was arbitrarily canceled without cause noted. This leaves me to scramble to find a new meal and then wait an additional 30 minutes to an hour for it to be delivered...

My final issue has to do with the fee transparency. All fees are rolled up into a single service fee line item with no description for what services specifically are being provided. Is it a restaurant fee for their participation (seems like they do little work outside of standard pickup) is it a technology fee for using Postmates ? Is it a hidden delivery fee to pay the courier? Also they base the default courier tip based on the price of the delivery which makes no sense, the courier has no relation to the effort taken to prepare the food and the service provided is only to pickup and drop off the food. This typically warrants a tip for the service but you would use a flat rate (or distance driven) metric.

This is the second time I’ve ordered through this app. The first time was several weeks ago. Postmates said my order was delivered but it wasn’t delivered to ME so I’m not sure who they left it with. I could not reach a human on the phone to get it sorted out. I am blind and having to do everything online takes me four times longer than a sighted person. By the time I went through all of the text and email protocols, everyone was closed and I was unable to get food that night. When I got to the door there was no food and I spent the evening hungry. I was given a credit for the mix up but I could not find it tonight when I ordered again. I was hesitant to use this app again but since I already had Postmates open looking for my credit Iwent ahead and ordered my food and figured I would give them a chance. I was not sure what to expect after the fiasco with the previous order. However, my driver was easy to contact and she made sure I got my food. I was trying a new restaurant both times. Tonight I am happy with my choices and with the service. I will continue to give this app a chance to improve my three star rating. The three stars was only for the service itself and difficulty I had trying to sort out the mix up last time, NOT for my driver tonight. Nathacha definitely gets FIVE STARS!!

Why am I paying for the Unlimited if you guys don’t wanna take full responsibility for your drivers actions they mess up our orders and then when we report it (this app Support) favorited thing to say is .... *“After continuous research, unfortunately, we will not be able to take further action regarding this matter. Due to the frequent refunds on your account, we are unable to give any compensation for the next 30 days until further notice. I apologize for the inconvenience.”* !!????.... like do you really think it’s our fault your employees are ordering our food and messing it up or completely not delivering our food at all!!? Like I lost track of how many this app drivers have ran off with my food and this app only response is the one above its obvious that these people are strangers and all of them are NOT good and they’re going to mess over people food or simply not deliver it and take it, so how about you stop making your customers feel like it’s their fault that their food was incorrect or not delivered or half of their order is missing.....because its not it’s YOUR responsibility to take care of what happens to your customers food that is supposed to be delivered especially your Unlimited Members.

First off I’d like to say although I had my issues the company was quick and able to make up for the mistake made.

This was the first time I used Postmates and I’m not gonna use it again. I don’t really know who to blame. Postmates or delivery person. I made an order of three items but I received far more then what I ordered. I ordered two soups, one large and one medium. When we received the soups there were five styrofoam cups. Two large and three medium. I was surprised to see so many cups. Turns out the guy ordered five soups! Two large and three medium. Instead of paying what should’ve been $30 I ended up paying $86. I couldn’t believe it. Now if you’ve used Postmates you’ll see that they put your order in a list type for example 1.sandwitch 2.soup 3. Soup. So what the guy did was that he ordered one sandwich two large soups and three medium soups. I can’t understand how he would’ve seen those numbers as amounts of each item. I also don’t like the fact that it says you won’t get an accurate price and total until the person picks up your food. Should’ve known better and seen that as a bad sign. One more thing I have a charge of $9 and change on my bank statement. When I added that to the $77 I was charged for the order the amount comes more then what is shown on my email receipt. I don’t know what the heck is going on but I definitely won’t be using Postmates again.

Honestly, I tend to put up with the constant incorrect orders and burnt food, but since this app stopped reimbursing me for bad business I hate this service. The drivers are late and don’t read the instructions before hand. The original estimated time will be one thing and I’ll receive it HOURS later. That wouldn’t be an issue if they’d allow you to cancel the order, but they still figure it’s good business to charge you full price (and sometimes a cancellation fee) for THEIR drivers being late and me not being able to accept the food. I wish I could upload a picture from last experience. My food was so burnt that it was inedible. They told me it was against their policy to reimburse me, or even contact the restaurant for an unburnt item, which uber eats most definitely would have done. Sadly I now live too far to use their service because I definitely wouldn’t deal with this app otherwise. The time before that one of their drivers seemed to be under the influence and after an hour of circling my neighborhood “lost” she arrived crying and yelling at me saying that uber doesn’t pay her enough and calling me disrespectful because I asked that she call me after 30 minutes of being lost. I have screenshots of the texts she sent me before she arrived and after too. That was also something they did nothing about. This company is horrible with even worse customer service.

This is a review of this app itself, not Postmates . I ordered from a local Italian restaurant via this app and received all parts of the order, except for the pizza. I immediately called the restaurant, because there was no way to contact the this app driver who dropped off the food. When I spoke to the restaurant, and the pizza was ready and sitting with the rest of the food to be picked up, but the this app driver did not pick it up. He apparently did not check the contents of the order. It’s pretty obvious if a pizza is missing from a bag of food. When I spoke to this app, the representative was incredibly unhelpful in trying to resolve this matter and stated that the only way to obtain the pizza that was sitting, ready at the restaurant was to request a refund and re-order the same pizza, so a new driver could be dispatched. This is unacceptable. If it is the driver’s fault that the order was missing, he should be responsible for picking up what he left behind. Furthermore, a subsequent order would have taken significantly longer. I have spoken with the restaurant, and they use an alternative delivery service, so I will not be using this app again. Others should be aware that this app does not value their customers, and other options are available.

If you are looking to try a new food delivery service DO NOT go with this app. I ordered from a restaurant and decided to go with pickup, trusting the restaurant would give me all of my items I ordered I got home and realized I was missing an item that was $10. I immediately went on this app and tried to report the issue- they said I had to call the merchant and they had to be ones who file this issue since I had picked it up (fair enough) so I did, the merchant then stated they had called this app and let them know and Would be getting my $10 refund back. Fast forward to the following day I noticed not only had my total not been fixed I had an additional email from this app with an ADDITIONAL mysterious charge of $10 to my account- so now we’re $20 over my total. I emailed this app letting them know of this issue and absolutely NO ONE has helped or answered any of my questions especially about the mysterious $10 charge. Now they have stopped responding back to my emails and never got not only my $10 but $20 refund they OWE me. Their customer service is a complete joke and I will be cancelling my services with them and will be switching to doordash and ubereats immediately.

I just went through and counted - I’ve used this app to order food 20 times over the last 1.5 years, and 5 of those orders were wrong or I never got the food and had to order again. So 25% of the time, this service is infuriating. It happens so often, when you get the wrong food and complain, they don’t even talk to you - they just give you your money back automatically. So if you want your food you have to order again and wait again. BUT it is the only way to get food from some restaurants we want delivered - like when my wife and I want chipotle delivered during the pandemic and we’re busy with work and a screaming 1 year old.

Other than that...Postmates itself works great and is easy enough to navigate and use. But a bad experience 25% of the time inevitably means 1 star. Our order never showed yesterday, but told me it was delivered - and my wife was just like, “why do we use Postmates again???”

Update: ordered again after writing this review, and it was wrong again. So 6 out of 21 times = ~30% of the time the order is wrong. To be clear, it’s almost never the restaurant’s fault. Their drivers pick up someone else’s order or just don’t show up with your food. It’s maddening.

Twice I have used Postmates to order food. Both times, my delivery was incorrect. The first time, the drink was visibly incorrect as it was a fountain drink vs a freeze, also a taco, and nachos were missing. Major fail on the entire order, and it should have been simple. It wasn’t that large, because I was charged a small order fee that was not refunded. I was using a promotional free delivery so at least I didn’t pay for that. I received a credit, not my money back and I don’t believe it was for the entire amount of missing items, I was so exhausted with the constant changing in rep replies, I just let it go. Attempt 2, an entire meal was missing from the order, and the quesadilla was burnt so bad, it was inedible. Is this their fault, no, but Taco Bell had I paid them directly would have replaced it. They credited me .59 cents for that, I have no idea where they got that amount. They refunded the missing meal, but I went to bed without dinner, I was exhausted and starving! This time I paid a delivery fee that they refuse to refund. The thing is, I paid for delivery of items you failed to deliver. Therefore the paid service was not rendered. It is poor business practice, and unethical to keep my money. Also, what good does the credit do me, when I’d now rather drive to get my items than deal with this again?

I have been using Postmates for more than 2 years. I pay a monthly subscription for unlimited. All went well until today my postmate did not get me my food.

Postmates shows the food is still waiting to be picked up at 8:24. The restaurant takes at least a 15-min drive and the traffic ain’t light on a Saturday night like this. I thought this might be another delay. I decided to check it again later. The next thing is that the driver miraculously showed up at my doorstep and then he left, without a phone call, with my food.

Fix your app please. I don’t even care if you charge me for the food because the driver might have waited for more than 5 minutes( and sure, sitting in the car for 5 long minutes without calling to check might be the normal procedure for postmate). You can’t push “your postmate is 5 mins away”, “your postmate is arriving soon” and “your postmate is outside” at the same time. Those pushes are designed to let users like me to know when to pick up the delivery, and pushing those at the same time is not helpful. If I were to have the time to stare at my phone every minute and check if the delivery has magically arrived right outside, I will go out and dine instead of eating food in plastic/paper boxes.

I was excited about Postmates but after my first use, I deleted and will not use again. I placed an order. The driver assigned to my order went to pick it up and the order was not at the store. The driver contacted me to let me know and said he didn’t know what to do. I tried contacting this app but there was no number to call. You can only submit a request. The issue was eventually resolved and my order was placed and my driver picked up my order. When my driver was on his way to me, he said the this app app stopped working. I had to give him verbal directions on the phone. My order was delivered much later than it was supposed to arrive. This was not the driver’s fault.

My driver, Melvin, was very professional and nice. He was awesome. He spent over 2 hours on my order. Postmates was messed up and would not let me give him a tip. My husband contacted this app through Twitter to see how we could tip him. My order ended up being refunded, thankfully, but we still wanted to tip our driver. this app told my husband that we wouldn’t be able to do that. Melvin spent over 2 hours helping me get my food and he was not compensated for it. I would have given him cash but I didn’t have any on hand.

Completely unimpressed with Postmates and the company. Even though I got a free meal, I will never use them again because it was more of a hassle than a convenience. I also don’t think they treat their employees very fair and I won’t support a business that does this.

I placed a order with Everest . When my driver went to get my order he was denied the food because the pre paid card the drivers are given was declined . He was awesome and tried everything he could for 20 min. Worst part is when you try to contact them with a problem there is just a email which they do not respond too in timely manner . The WORST part is that my driver had to cancel my order on his end . He told me that if he cancels more then 3 order he gets terminated . How is that ETHICAL??? Not only is this poor guy out of money but time as well and he gets penalized for something he had no control over .

Got my money back two days later decided to give them one more chance . My mistake.I ordered ice cream and 1 hour and 20 min later I get a call from my driver that she could not find the place . And when she finally did all they had was vanilla when Postmates showed 15+ flavors. She suggested we cancel the order . When I tried to cancel they said they where going to charge me still for my order. Seriously,no this is not ok . Why should I get charged for YOU did not have the proper info in the website . Or that the driver waited a hour plus to come contact me about my order? I would not try this app again . It’s a shame too since I haven’t had a issue before in the past and would buy gift cards for friends and family. Seems like I’ll be moving on from this app . Here I calms door dash or u re eats .

I spent over $60 on a group order at SweetGreen. One of the salads was unavailable because they were out of one of the modifiers. The this app app wouldn’t tell me which modifier and I got a text threatening to cancel the whole order if I didn’t select a substitute in 10 minutes. I made some changes (hard to know what to choose because I didn’t know which modifier they were out of). this app then charged me $1 for substituting one of my items, even though it wasn’t my fault.

A few minutes later, I got the same text again, saying they were out of one of the modifiers to my salad and again said they were going to cancel the whole order in 10 minutes. I submitted a support request and when I didn’t hear back within 10 minutes, i had to cancel that salad (I didn’t want all of my coworkers to not get their lunch!).

When I got a call from this app support a few minutes later, they told me the modifier SweetGreen was out of was lentils and I was refused a refund. I requested that they waive the small cart fee and service fee on my new order without lentils, they said it was my fault because they told me I shouldn’t have canceled that salad. I explained again that I couldn’t have the order cancelled for all of my coworkers so I had no choice. In total I spent almost 10 minutes on the phone, which means in total this app wasted about a half hour of my time- with NO REFUND for my struggling.

Put in an order with this app which was estimated to take a while but then this app miscommunicated our order to the establishment even after repeated confirmations from the restaurant to this app - an issue that we found out was frequent as the employee of the establishment told us not to use this app - but this was not brought to our attention until the driver was at the restaurant to pick up the order (already 90 minutes after we ordered). The instructions we gave were important because I am a vegetarian and the mix up caused there to be meat in the food. This forced the driver and the restaurant to have to deal with the miscommunication and re-do the whole order, causing the order to take another 30 minutes to get to us and wasting the time of the driver and costing him income as well. Customer support was contacted about this terrible experience, as a previous order we had with them had been stolen and we were fed up, to get a refund for the expensive food we had to wait 2 hours for and then it was “resolved” without even allowing us to discuss with a representative. It was not handled well and we do not intend to use the service again. It’s really bad when even restaurant employees are suggesting that we order through different services rather than this app. I just hope our driver was compensated for his time as he was forced to handle the whole issue even though that isn’t his responsibility.

Lately I've had horrible experiences with the deliveries and customer service did not compensate for it. They were rude and brushed me off after I told them I was upset that I had a missing item from my order and they refunded me less than the amount of the item. Then they still refused to refund me the proper amount, citing that they had given me a credit previously for another mistake they had made. This was a dinner order that they canceled on me after an hour and a half of waiting and 30+ minutes of me trying to help navigate the driver to my house. I'm pretty sure he was high and just gave up. I ended up having to work harder and spend more time trying to receive my dinner delivery that never arrived than if I would have just gone and picked up something myself. I was really upset and the small credit they gave me for that did not make me feel better at all. It actually felt insulting. Then for them to short my refund on their next mistake because they felt they already made up for it from this previous small credit felt completely outrageous. I've never written a review before, but I am so upset about how I was treated by the customer service at this app that I feel everyone should know how poorly they treat their once loyal longtime customers. Apparently they're doing so well they don't care about the individual anymore. I urge vendors and patrons to use other food delivery apps instead.

This is the worst company I've ever dealt with! I have a literally dealt with better customer service stationed out of Third World countries where they barely speak English! Following placing a single order it took me five days to resolve a simple issue! Nine days later I am still dealing with the ramifications of having placed one simple food order through this company. For the last three days I've been trying to get in touch with this company because they have been making unauthorized charges onto my credit card. I have sent a dozen emails in the last 72 hours and not a single person from this company has bothered to respond to me! They are literally conducting illegal and fraudulent activity and won't even respond to the consumer who is being affected! Nine days ago I asked them to cancel my account and I am still waiting for them to do that and in the interim I keep getting charges even though I'm not placing any deliveries! The only way to reach anyone at this company is through the stupidest support request form on their website and then you need to wait for them to respond! Please tell me how email is a suitable form of customer service when you're dealing with food delivery?! If you have an issue with your food on Saturday guess what you may not hear from the company till Monday! Literally just save yourself from the frustration, The grief and the headaches that will follow by ever using this company

Had the worst experience using this service to get chicken wings from Wing King delivered to my house. I placed my order using Postmates at 6:40pm. First of all, the menu prices on Postmates aren’t the same as the actual restaurant so you don’t really know how much you’ll get charged til the very end. Initially my order was going to be about $45. Postmates states that it will take 50-60min to get my order, that’s fair. After 40min passes at 7:19pm, I get a text from my this app driver saying the order will be ready in one hour. Over an hour passes by at 8:36pm, and my food still has not came or have I heard from the driver. I call the Wing King to ask what happened and they state that I need to call my this app driver because the food is ready and has not been picked up. I attempt to call/text the number that text me and can’t get through. Finally on Postmates I find a number that reaches the driver and she says that the kitchen got backed up and she’s going to get the food right now and be right over. My food came to the door at 9:14pm. Cold and with no receipt. Later find out that Postmates is charging me $75 for my food from an additional $12 service fee and a $6 delivery fee. I did not tip. I followed through with this app and filled out twice that I had a bad driver and bad service but no one has contacted me in any way or form. I’m absolutely shocked. Please learn from my mistake and do not waste your time or money using Postmates or service!

I am a doordash,grub hub, and previous this app driver. And after a year of doing a combination of all three I have noticed that this app cares the LEAST for their drivers. The pay the drivers $4 as a base pay. I’ve had orders that were 8.9 miles, driving, away from restaurant to customers house and I got $4 I called this app to see why I only got that and they said that because non driving miles (like if you looked on a map and drew a straight line) it was only 3.87 miles. She then explained that the customer did not leave a tip. Ok that’s fine customers are not obligated to but as a company you should give your drivers something to make up for customers that don’t tip or ones who don’t tip as much..doordash and grub hub do. this app charges the 20% service anyways. I just don’t understand how a company can value a large part of their “employees” at $4 for an hour and half of work. And it’s not just one time this has happened. It has been 9/10 orders I’ve done. Also I’ve driven to countless restaurants only to get there and have the order canceled which Postmates never told me and when I call this app to say that I drove all the way there but didn’t get a notification they say sorry and that Postmates did say that it was canceled well before but I use the gps so I know where to go, so I don’t have Postmates open and they don’t get notifications. Please DONT use this app...they don’t value the drivers at all.

Postmates usually works but I wish they had a phone number for instant support. I never know if I should order a new meal elsewhere or wait around cranky and hungry until someone emails me back. Usually a helpful response takes at least an hour. this app will send you an email with someone attempting to respond by pasting the answers to their FAQ in the response...as if users haven’t already read the FAQ / used Postmates before. It’s a tad insulting.

Most of your experience will depend on how ambitious your driver is. Some of the drivers seem a tad entitled while others are excellent. I usually tip between $4 and $8, but I’ll tip lower if the driver complains about having to take an elevator or park their car. I also wish drivers would confirm the order before leaving the restaurant... I’ve gotten the wrong food on several occasions. Perhaps if this app shared the average customer tip with the drivers, the drivers would make more of an effort making deliveries for customers that do want to pay well for convenience.

Also, don’t bother with unlimited. I tried this and they just tacked on a higher “service” fee instead of a “delivery” fee—either way, you end up paying extra in addition to your membership. In my opinion, unlimited is pointless unless all extra fees (apart from taxes obviously) are eliminated.

We had a driver who refused to deliver to the door even though I was alone with a newborn and could not go down to the street to pick up the order. He was rude and he told me he would be returning the food if I could not leave me apartment. I told him then that he would have to do this. He left and I assumed that was it and I would have to reach out to customer service. A half hour later, the guy starts to call and call to try to deliver. I guess he realized he would have to eat the bill since I did not cancel. We had left already once my husband got home, to go get food. I contacted customer service and they told me that they would only be refunding a small portion of my bill even though we did not receive any food. this app has the absolute worst customer service and I will no longer be giving them my business (and obviously canceling my this app unlimited service) and I will be making sure to post this information on social media so my friends and family can see that they stole my money to pay to feed their driver. They are stealing money from good customers and refusing to do anything about it. Not refunding someone’s money for something they never received is stealing no matter how you look at it. I never write reviews, but this is honestly the worst customer service and company that I have ever dealt with. Good riddance this app! I’ll be using ubereats and door dash from now on!
