I ordered two separate meals from the Door Dash App and my first meal was delivered to the wrong address and their driver didn't respond when contacted and they didn't have my meal re sent, and instead just refunded what I had spent. Then, the second meal arrives and it is wrong. I addressed the issue in the chat option of the app and the employee tells me I have already been compensated today (that of which was for a COMPLETELY different order) and that she can't help me. Mind you, I was requesting my meal be re-sent. Then I ask to speak to the manager, she starts demanding I send her photos, and claiming that my meal was made correctly because all she could read was one ingredient. So I sent her a photo of my food and the receipt. She still says she can't help and forwards it to a different team. They just emailed me stating they have already compensated me today (they refunded my other order because it literally never arrived!) and that they weren't going to do anything further!Business response

Complaint: 15796686
I am rejecting this response because: ************ is allowing businesses to provide low standard and sub par service and is not holding up their end of the bargain which is to fix issues that occur. ************ is scaring individuals and allowing businesses, as well as their own employees (most of which are outsourced from out of the country) to steal their money, their time, and their food. The claim that they cannot provide me with a refund for a restaurant they work with not providing the food I ordered, because a previous order their driver dropped it off at the wrong address and they feel as though they compensated me for food that NEVER ARRIVED?They refunded me for food that never arrived, that isn't being compensated, that is you doing your job! This needs to be rectified immediately.
Sincerely,

We used doordash on a family vacation last week in *********, **. We ordered three milkshakes and some food items. The ****************************, called to say the machine was down and we would need to work out a refund with doordash. We attempted to do so within 24 hours and were told we could not be compensated for the missing items. We went on with our vacation, where there was no cell service or internet. Upon returning from our vacation I contacted them again regarding the issue since I was back in service. I was told that unless I tried to resolve the issue within 24 hours they can do nothing to help me, I DID TRY!! Their app is awful and their customer service is even worse! I only want the money back for the items that were not received! Sounds fair to meBusiness response

Thank you for reaching out to Doordash Support. I'm sorry for the order issue.
As a courtesy, I have refunded the missing items.
You should expect to see that refund within 5-7 business days.
For future reference, please contact DoorDash by phone or chat within three days for compensation and so that a reference number of your contact can be created.

On Sunday August 8 2021 I placed two door dash orders. Both orders were delivered close together but the order that I have placed a incident report on because the driver hit my vehicle backing out of my drive way was the ******** order by the driver Ebony in a white suv truck i believe a Cherokee truck. I contacted Door Dash on August 9th in the morning after seeing the damage she did. I have video and a witness to this event. Doordash stated they escalated my case " Urgent" for the legal team to call me back for more details and no one has contacted me. I emailed the company email daily and called to be told they cannot assist and a legal team will call me. I gave my availability as anytime and haven't received a call or response to my emails until today after sending them a email about no contact on the issue. Door dash responded with your case has been closed because we haven't heard from you in 3 days which is a lie. No one has handled my case or compensated for damage.Business response

Complaint: 15795493
I am rejecting this response because: Complaint: 15795493This does not provide me resolution for my vehicles damage or the employees that haven't handled my case correctly, even stated by your employees in DoorDash chat transcripts. My vehicle was damaged on 8/8 and its 8/27 and I have no information or a official report because when contacting your company I'm told only the legal team can assist and wait for a call for them to call me. No number is provided and no actual time frame for the call. All estimated time frames have been exceeded and still I have no other details, further steps, an insurance adjuster/ claim number or my vehicle fixed. I am requesting someone from corporate and claims contact me so that I can express my dissatisfaction with how this case has been handled, in addition to your company closing out my original case after I emailed daily for a callback from legal. Your company stated no contact form me within 3 days which was a lie and my car still was damaged by your driver. I have witness and video of that night. I need action to be done with your claims department which I've never been provided the email till this response, I also would like a direct contact number for the claims department. I contacted your listed email and still nothing has happened.
Sincerely,

Ordered from doordash I received undercooked foodn I sent the pics to them of the uncooked chicken. They brushed it off as it wasn't important. They refused my refund and never applied any credits for compensation and the hassle. On top of that I am 8 months pregant with twins. There's no way I could ever imagine I'd taste that nasty uncooked food. DoorDash did not take one time out to care.Business response

Doordash deactivated my account because of an 'internal error'.I tested positive for COVID and was instructed to quarantine. I needed this service to get groceries/food.I called their customer support multiple times. They transfer me to their escalation team. Their escalation team tells me they can't don ******** on their end and someone from internal review will get back to me in 24 to 48 hours. This has been going on since Thursday Aug 19th. Today is Tuesday Aug 24th and I still can't use my account to get groceries/food.During this process I've been put on hold for up to an hour (not kidding). I got an email saying that this issue was an accident on their part and that my account has been re-activated. I tried using the service and still found my account to be deactivated.From a consumer standpoint, I have covid, I don't have any family or friends in this new city, and the service which offers to deliver me food has 'accidentally' deactivated my account due to an 'error'.Business response

HI there, We order meals several times weekly to provide for our family, help small business owners, and while I travel between two cities on a regular basis. At any rate, errors do occur, particularly when ordering in in ********, **. Many times we make the best of it; however, when things do go terribly awful we reach out to DoorDash support. Fast forward to August 23, 2021. We placed a group order for nearly $100. When we received our delivery, it was nothing we had ordered, clearly a mix up. We ordered two $40 dishes and in turn received one completely alternate order. No biggie, thought we could reach out and get assistance through Doordash. Unfortuntately, the restaurant had to refer us to the third party being Doordash to help resolve the issue. I spent many conversations and hours attempting to remedy the problem only to be told, "Yes, we are here to help, we're going to solve this." To then being told, "Sorry, my system won't allow me to credit your account andBusiness response

It was sent to the wrong account, which is an account that is non existent per ************ *********** said Dasher Direct needs to do a reversal and give me back my money, but Dasher Direct refuses.
