      On September 23, I ordered food on GrubHub, expecting a timely delivery of safe food, as per their guidelines. I spent $30.93 on the order. Instead, the delivery was late, cold, and the food was unsealed, making this a matter of food quality and safety. Upon receiving my order, I was upset, so I naturally tried to initiate the refund process through GrubHub's website. There I went to the Help page and expressed the problem with my food, submitted my report, and expected a follow-up. 3 days passed and there was nothing, not even an email, so I reached out to their support team a second time and asked directly. There, they not only told me that they didn't see my original complaint, but that because it was now past 48 hours after the purchase, I couldn't refund the charge. I would like a refund for my unsafe and delayed food order. Attached is my receipt, my chat logs with customer service the second time around, and the only evidence of me reporting a problem with my food on the night of, as I was never contacted about it or given any confirmation.

      I am reaching out about the Grubhub Guarantee Lowest Price Guarantee. I placed an order on 8/25/2025, I found a lower price for an identical order and location on ********. I submitted the request to receive the perk for the price difference, however Grubhub refuses to honor the guarantee. They owe me $9.13, $4.13 which was the price difference from their platform and Doordash, and $5.00 for the "Extra Perk" the program offers. I am including screenshots of my order total on Grubhub and Doordash as well as the confirmation of my Low Price Guarantee submission.

      Grubhub does not explain why they're unwilling to stand behind their advertised Low Price Guarantee. I have provided proof to them and the BBB that there was a lower price being offered on another food ordering platform, I submitted the request accurately and ******, yet they will not honor the $9.13 "perk" (store credit) that I qualify for.

      I am requesting contact by a corporate level representative to address my concern, and to discuss my account.

      Ordered food. Charged for food, service fee and tip. Food wasn't delivered. Received a call from restaurant saying driver cussed them out and left. I went to pick up the food. Call GrubHub. They refused to do anything. Then they said thank you for admitting you picked up the order and as such we will not refund you. Food was cold cause it had been sitting for 45 minutes when I picked it up. Grubhub treated it as the restaurants fault which it wasn't.

      I placed an order for food with Grubhub. It took longer to say delivered, but finally got a notification. Once I checked, the order was not at the door. I contacted Grubhub through their website and spoke with someone over chat. After speaking with me, they issued a Grubhub credit plus a $10 credit for a future order. I was told that I could reorder right away, and the credit did appear in my dashboard. I tried to reorder, and it would not let me, so I called the customer service number to speak to a live representative, who proceeded to tell me it was maybe a glitch in their system. I requested a refund and was told they could not issue a refund to my credit card. I informed the representative that they did not deliver on their service, and wanted a refund and would not use the company again. He transferred me then to a supervisor per my request, which sounded like the original representative. I again requested a refund and was told they could not refund my card, though they did not deliver, and I have a picture from Drive showing a tree and dirt instead of my door.

      I ordered a chipotle burrito on GrubHub in *********, *******, made a brand new account with my number and email. I have never used this app or ordered any food, this being my first experience and only. An empty order history, before placing my order I had a promo code applied for $10 off my $21.13 order. After checking out, I got charged the entire amount. I attempted to cancel the order seconds after, it was not allowed and would not work. I called and spoke with an agent and was told there was nothing that could be done. My meal was delivered cold, missing ingredients and had an eyelash in the burrito. I put it aside, barely getting to eat any of it. I created a complaint for a refund and was told there was nothing that could be done. I have no email confirmation for any complaint. I called and was told I can't be helped and I had horrible customer service, constantly asking if they can disconnect my chat. I have picture evidence of everything, bank statement, order, promo code, the burrito, the eyelash inside the burrito.

      I am rejecting this response because: I have had this exact conversation and response from them, asking for my email which i've gladly given 4 times, and finding no solution each time. They have access to my accounts and continue to tell me the same thing and even go as far as saying i've had issues with this account and several complaints, although this was my first and only experience with GrubHub. The photo attached shows past orders A-Z, every order made in my account. If i'm asked to provide my information and it goes somewhere in the direction of finding a solution, rather than "We cannot help you at this time" then I will gladly be satisfied with this case being closed.

      On 9/19/25 I placed an order and tried to cancel it right away via live chat. The agent left me waiting over 30 minutes, then I was told the team was closed. While waiting, the order was delivered, and the product was defective.The next day, I was denied a refund because of excessive refunds on my account. This is false the only adjustment Ive ever received was a credit for a late delivery, which is within Grubhubs own policy. When I tried to escalate, supervisors disconnected me.Desired Resolution:I request a full refund for this defective order and for Grubhub to correct the false claim about excessive refunds. I also have recorded phone calls with representatives.

    BBB Business Profiles may not be reproduced for sales or promotional purposes.

    BBB Business Profiles are provided solely to assist you in exercising your own best judgment. BBB asks third parties who publish complaints, reviews and/or responses on this website to affirm that the information provided is accurate. However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.

    When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

    BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.

    As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
