      Ordered from this company many times in the past 90% of the time the order is missing items and sometimes the order never even shows up. Today August, 25th I ordered again and the order was late and also missing items. I contacted GrubHub through chat only to be told they will not refund me due to previous time's of me complaining about my order not showing up or missing items. Therefore I am contacting you to get refunded. This place is boarder line of being very deceptive with customers and almost never want to correct errors. I want a full refund from this place and after that I will never order from them again.

      I have the GrubHub plus (GH+) subscription so I don't pay delivery fees on Gh+ participate restaurants. An order I made to a restaurant that is clearly marked in the app as for GH+ with no delivery, upon reviewing the receipt I was charged a delivery fee. I have screenshots as proof.

      Hello,

      Thank you for reaching out, we are sorry to hear that we did not meet your expectations on your recent Grubhub order. 

      The Grubhub+ $0 delivery fee at participating restaurants applies to orders with a subtotal of $12 or more. Since the subtotal of your recent order was $10.48, it did not qualify for the Grubhub+ benefit of free delivery.

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me. Though such things should be visible prior to the completion of the order and not hidden in the fine print or FAQ of the app.

      I placed an order and tried to cancel because it was running so late. They assured me it would be on time twice. The order was late. The food was cold and the order was wrong. I asked to be refunded just for the part that was wrong. They agreed to the refund but never actually did it. I have chatted and emailed and kept being told it was refunded. The bank says it was not. They billed the entire amount and did not issue a credit. They should have refunded the whole thing but I didn't ask for that and was trying to be fair.

      Last month a in *** while my car was parked at *********** a seamless grubhub driver dropped his bike into my car causing obvious damage while delivering to apt 1E. There were witnesses that provided their phone numbers, also the recipient receiving the food provided the actual order on the app so Grubhub would know exactly who it was. They choose to support a contractor/employee with no moral compass committing a hit and run with witnesses. I have dealt with customer care numerous times to no avail and sent all the information to their security **** at their headquarters. Its a shame they are not coding the right thing.

      why is someones word not good when it does work in a court of law? Not every crime is videotaped although I have been in contact with building concierge . Why am I doing the research and leg work. It was reported with witnesses and pictures. The ball is in court. Why are you supporting a hit and run by your contractor that was reported by witnesses ? Where is the moral compass? Shame on you.

      I placed a food delivery order and then tried to cancel the order on the app because the *** was too long. The app glitched and old me to talk to customer care. By the time customer care came online, they mentioned that the restaurant had started cooking so I had to pay the full cost - even though it was a technology issue on their side for not being able to cancel the order within the *** they defined. When I pushed further they mentioned they were unable to do anything and I had to pay. I want a refund of my order.
