DoorDash - Food Delivery 12+

On multiple occasions I have had issues with doordash across different states, restaurant, time of order placed, the issue is clearly with doordash and the dashers themselves. I’ve had dashers deliver food to the entirely wrong apartment and swear up and down they delivered it to the right apartment even if the delivery photo clearly shows a different apartment number. I’ve had orders missing food many times, I once had a order from chipotle where I ordered a steak bowl with rice, beans, the works, and they literally gave me lettuce and meat with nothing else with the excuse their doordash system never send the orders to them correctly. I’ve had orders with ‘technical difficulties’ get cancelled an hour after I placed the order and got all the confirmation notifications saying ‘order confirmed by ___’ ‘order being prepped by kitchen’ only for doordash to turn around and claim ‘technical difficulties’ and tell me ‘place another order at a different restaurant’ as if by that time most restaurants had closed. All around a horrible app and a waste of time and money. Customer support is awful and half the time doesn’t even reply back, or will refund you $1 for a missing item that cost $10. Best bet I reccomend uber eats or literally any other app.

Recently made an error on an order. Forgot to change my delivery address. App would not allow me to correct the delivery address despite several attempts to do so. I contacted the driver who was assigned, explained my error and he assured me he would bring it to my current address. The order was reassigned to a new driver who wasn’t provided the new corrected delivery address so my order went to the wrong location despite much effort to correct the error. I love DoorDash but feel they need to improve the customers control over the delivery. My chat history with 1 driver should roll over to the next driver if the order is reassigned to a new dasher. Frustrating situation because I added $10 to the minimum tip that was meant to go to the dasher who chatted with me. Instead, it appears it went to the dasher who was reassigned to the order and didn’t follow the instructions/updated address. I did receive a full refund minus tip or service fees, I can’t determine which part wasn’t refunded. It’s a little disappointing because I did everything possible to correct literally seconds after the order was placed. Customer needs to have ability to correct or edit orders more easily. There should be a better system in place to ensure errors can be corrected quickly and easily.

Perhaps add a command that will tell dasher to contact customer to discuss errors on the order prior to pick up. This would help prevent mistakes from being locked in.

I’ve been using door dash for close to two years now and lately, I don’t know what it is, but no one knows how to deliver food lol. The past four times I’ve ordered from them, there’s been a problem. Instructions for the food itself not followed, instructions for the dasher not followed, etc. I’ve had to have food redelivered twice in the past week because of the dasher. The first time, they dropped it off at a neighbors house way down the street, and luckily they called me so I went to grab my food. On the days I order food at work in the morning, I ask that the dasher text me when they get here, as we’re closed when I order food, and the past few times I haven’t had anyone text me which door they left the food at. Today, I straight up didn’t get my food. I texted my dasher and asked where she left my food, and got no response. I checked the front and back doors, and the neighboring businesses, and my food wasn’t there, so I had to have it redelivered again. It’s just really frustrating and I feel like door dash thinks I’m just trying to get free food because I’ve had so many problems lately 😭 And I feel like a jerk even saying this but I tip really well because I know dashers don’t get paid super well and depend on tips, but I’m tired of having to tip close to $10 for someone who isn’t going to follow my instructions or even like... bring me my food lol. I have issues like this every once in a while, but never to this extent.
