GrubHub delivery

I decided to send a whole bunch of food to my friend, who is undergoing serious medical issues right now, and his entire family. They've gone through a lot and it was the least I could do. I live across the state so I thought I could trust GrubHub & Macaroni Grill to take care of them, for a pretty penny.

I placed my order an entire day in advance so it would be delivered by 4 pm. I got an email back saying I would get a confirmation from the restaurant around 11 am the next day. I checked it at noon and it kept erroring out so I got on the chat with GrubHub. Sat there 20 min, no answer, so I called. After a 15 min wait, the restaurant confirmed & so did GrubHub. Again, delivery scheduled for 4 pm.

At 3:30, I tell my friend it should be coming soon. At 3:45, I suddenly get one ring on a phone call and a text immediately after saying "Your order has been cancelled. See email for more information." I panic and check my email, where I have a generic cancelation email telling me I can reorder. I replied to the text saying that I had no explanation and would order again. I place a replacement order and they call me back. The lady tells me she doesn't know what happened, but could see that the new order just got cancelled, too.

She contacts Macaroni Grill and comes back saying that they updated their menu in that exact moment and the food I had was suddenly no longer available at 3:45 in the afternoon. She tells me to order again.

Everything is more expensive. Literally that's the difference. I picked out entire new meals because the price change was significant, but it's still more expensive overall. They confirm, GrubHub doesn't update until 4:40, at which point it goes from "preparing" to "delivered" despite the driver not even being at the house. At 5 pm, it's finally delivered.

I told GrubHub Cust Service about this but they have no remorse, stating "food did get there though." Insult to injury: $250 with of authorizations that won't clear for days.

GrubHub complaint

Grub hub sucks! They are scammers dont order from them. They mark peoples food delivered when the person never even got the food. And when you contact customer service they dont care they just give you a 50% code and dont care what you got to say. They talk over you. This is the second time my food was marked delivered and no food was recieved! This company needs to be investigated because they are taking peoples money and food ….

I ordered food and grubby was the deliverer. I left specific instructions to ask for me at the front desk. I didn't say to text me... Or message me... I left instructions to ask for me. I work in an emergency room and we do not have reception due to wiring and leaded walls. Grubby refuses to take responsibility and refund my money. Do not give a restaurant your business if they use grubby for delivery.

GrubHub delivery not received

I ordered 30 dollars worth of food through grub hub while checking on the app the order stated it was delivered. Which I'm sure it was not I was waiting. The driver left with the tip and food. I called customer service to see what is going on. Customer service was no help! They stated they would give me 50% off my next order. When I asked about having the replacement food delivered to my home. They stated that it can't be done. I asked for a full refund and told them they can keep the 50% off. I was told the cannot give me a refund either. Thank you Grub hub!

GrubHub food delivery

12/19:19- When the driver delivered my food, she asked me if she could have a tip. Her English was poor and she didn't seem to understand that I had already paid the tip. (She was a middle-aged Asian lady) She repeated her tip request two more times and then left. WTF? Grubhub either has poor training; hiring the wrong people...or both! I think I'll start using Door Dash and see if they can do better. Shouldn't take much.

GrubHub how good was delivered

Driver left food on the ground instead of delivering the food. Informed me that she could not come up don't understand what the issue was since she decided to picked up the food if you couldn't bring it up why take the job. Just left my food on the ground.Like I am hobo serious. What type of business is grub hub to TREAT THEIR CUSTOMER IN SUCH A DISRESPECTFUL WAY OR EVEN LIKE TRASH. Bad customer service and not good business etiquette. It is my last time dealing with a company that don't know how to treat their customer right.

GrubHub food not delivered - driver hung up on me - customer srvc no help - i'm out $100

Alexandria VA - I have in past used Door Dash - always very pleased with service. I didn't like the long wait when used Grub Hub once in past, but I decided to try again because they have more restaurants & more food choices at each restaurant.
Placed a Grub Hub order of $100 for Bob Evans in Springfield VA with Grub Hub. I had people over - some wanted breakfast & some wanted lunch.
Watched the online map for driver to be near my home and went to the door to stand & watch for him to be on my street. Never saw him. Then online website showed he delivered order so I called Driver's number to ask what happened. He said he knocked & no one answered. (that's a lie since I was standing at the door). I asked where is the food, thinking he could still bring it to me. He hung up on me!
So I called corporate customer service to complain - was told someone would call the driver as he should still have the food to deliver and I would get a call back. I never received a callback so I called customer service again later. This time I stayed on phone hold as didn't trust they would call me back. After waiting told rep could not reach the driver.
I asked would someone report the driver for dishonesty as he either took my food or misdelivered but he's apparently unwilling to admit what he did.
I ended up having to order Dominos pizza for my guests just to get them fed quickly plus I'm out the $100 charged to me for the order.
What makes me most upset is that the driver got to keep the tip!
I went online tonight and deleted my credit card information on Grub Hub website. I have in past used Door Dash - always very pleased with service. From now on I'm staying with Door Dash - they may have less choices but their drivers are honest!

GrubHub missing items

On december 12th 2019 i ordered 3 meals from kfc. 2 - 2 piece dark meals ($5.00 each) and a $5.00 fill up breast meal. They forgot the $5.00 fill up breast meal. I called and grub hub would not deliver the missed meal. They refunded me 2.67. Really? 2.67? the meal cost more than that! i called back and complained they said they would refund the 5.20. I had to reorder the meal and had to pay the taxes and delivery fee again! they refused to waive the fees even though it was their error. Grub hub is a rip off! they purposely forget food so you have to pay all the fees again. The drivers do not verify everything is in the order. Worst delivery service ever! i have had something wrong with every order i order. So has multiple people in the company i work for.

GrubHub carvel's to be delivered by grubhub

My complaint is with GrubHub,
I ordered something from Carvel's on Forest Ave. at 7:00pm. I live on Victory blvd (10 minutes away). on my cell it said it would take 25 to 35 minutes.
I didn't receive the delivery until 9:10pm by Nalin.
I live on the 2nd floor of an apartment bldg, always received deliveries at my apartment front door.
Nalin left my delivery at the doorman and took off.

This is the second time this happened, apparently you people are not as reliable as advertised. I don't think I'll be ordering from you ever again and will also let my friends know about this.

GrubHub lack of service and no customer follow-up

ordered food through grub hub with a delivery time of 5:35 to 5:45pm Tuesday Dec 3rd 2019. Follow-up with call resturant at 5:45pm they stated order was being prefpared andf should be delivered by 5:55pm Called Resturant at 6:20pm and was told Grubhub had just pick up at 6:10pm. The resturant said driver was on Bicycle. If that was true we live one mile uphill and on a private dark road. No way I believe that is possible.

We called Customer service (grbhub) and was on hold for 25 minutes. When person answered, we discussed with him the problem and the order, in theory, was cancelled. It clearly appears the left hand does not know what the right hand is doing. Poor customer service at best. No follow-up on delayed delivery. We will not be using your service, again.

GrubHub driver parking in wrong driveway & attitude

My neighbor at 29W470 Hawthorne Lane, Warrenville, IL ordered a delivery. The driver parked in our drive at 29W468. At the same time, we were expecting a visit from the home healthcare nurse for my father. My dad happened to notice the strange car in the drive and made the comment "Who is that parking in the drive?"

I walked out and asked the delivery guy if I could help him with something. His response was "No, I am just making a delivery over here and parked in your driveway" and pointed to the neighbor.

I replied "Out drive is not for public parking and we are expecting medical care for my dad to be here".

The delivery guy replied "Don't you have anything better to do than to look and see who is parking in your drive?" "Look like you little dog needs your attention".

Rude and Inconsiderate behavior by your employees/contractors should not be tolerated as it casts a bad image on GrubHub.

GrubHub food delivery

Order #[protected]
My phone number: [protected]

I waited for about 30minutes after the delivery deadline. Staff from GrunHub claimed I didn't answer the calls and the driver waited outside for ten minutes. However, I am quite sure I didn't receive any calls! I checked my phone call history and I am now very upset by their response.

I am requesting a refund.

GrubHub food delivery service

I have paid for more than one order and didn't receive the order. Not only were the drivers not able to be reached. I got no confirmation call from none of them. I was charged for food I never received. Your rotten drivers that night didn't deserve a tip except the tip of my finger. 🖕🏾For Krispy Krunchy Chicken, Hooters where I spoke to the manager. Also at the Red Room Inn also for Wings and Things. That's just lousy customer service. Your worker in customer service claim that couldn't do anything because the address was wrong. I had a order with the correct order as well. You sent out in competent drivers lousy customer service agents as well I will push for your business to be shut down and I would rather deal Doordash. They never seem to miss the mark on the order!

GrubHub grubhub

On NOV 7th @ about 8PM, I ordered food from a local restaurant on my MACBook - & saw "Your order has been received" / "PICK UP IN 30 mins", this is your ORDER # [protected], "you will receive an email shortly"

When I got to the restaurant 30 mins later - they had NOT received my order

When I went to show them my order number (on the email), this is what I saw IN TINY TINY PRINT:

Grub hub is confirming your order with Five Buroughs for takeout scheduled for TOMORROW, Nov 8 10:30. Keep your phone handy, we'll be in touch for issues

I call (877) 783-5777 & message says 3 mins wait. 10 mins later, I am able to cancel the order.

THANK GOODNESS I DID NOT PAY WITH CREDIT CARD

This is only the 2nd time I have tried Grub Hub & AGAIN I had troubles with my order - last year I ordered 2 things from a restaurant & a delivery person brought me a family of 5 meal, 3 bags & I insisted it wasn't mine...was told "not my problem, call restaurant"

I understand that MANY people are VERY happy with this system, but I will NOT be using online ordering via grub hub (YELP) again

OF NOTE, I stayed on the phone for the survey & was not given any time to explain & want to say that the woman (in Mexico) who answered the phone could not have been nicer or more patient & polite (though I don't think she completely understood what happened & why I was so frustrated).

SOME KIND OF DISCONNECT - I sure hope it can be fixed !

I would like an explanation, if possible & can be reached at [protected]@gmail.com

GrubHub order from october 30 2019. monica askins 4115 blue spring rd huntsville al 35810

I filled out everything for my order even writing in the extra instructions for the driver to bring me lots of mild sauce. I even called to make sure my message was read before the driver picked up my food. Then I got a message my food would be late. Not only was it 30 minutes late it was stone cold. I could not eat it. I thought grubhub was better

GrubHub food not delivered and not being refunded

I ordered Grubhub, and after an hour and a half no food. I checked, and my order on the Grubhub app was marked as delivered. After I called and was hung up on, I was very frustrated and angry. When I finally talked to one of their supposedly helpful representatives, he refused to refund my money! So, I got no dinner, but had to pay for a meal I did not eat! Never using Grubhub again!

GrubHub delivery (non delivery)

I ordered dinner at approx 8:30 and despite 2 calls to the restaurant and multiple calls to GrubHub by 11:30 pm my family still had no dinner. 3 hours later! We were lied to twice that a driver was on the way and both times the restaurant confirmed no one ever showed up. This is the worst service ever. No food and we all went to bed hungry. I hate Grub Hub!

GrubHub delivery drivers/service

my order has been stolen by a delivery driver on more than one occasion. Both times the driver said the food was delivered, or they were unable to contact me. However, they never made an attempt to deliver the food. They just took my order for themselves. Grubhub attempted to blame me for 'not being available', and then offered me 50% off my next order, which is unacceptable. Why should i have to pay for someone else's dinner? Poor customer service, unreliable drivers.
