      I have had a GrubHub+ account for a number of years and use my debit card for that automatic $9.99 payment made monthly on the 29th. Their service has always been good up to now. Heres what happened:1. I just discovered that since last September, Grubhub as been taking that $9.99 payment out of my account TWICE monthly, on the 4th, in addition to the one in the one on the 29th. That makes nearly $70 extra dollars since September.2. When I called ***************** the representative told me he could only refund one month out of those 7 months of payments. After much discussion, he would not move off that position so I asked to speak with his supervisor.3. Finally, the supervisor, ***** came on the line and flatly refused my request for a full refund or credit. I told him that his refusal was an act of theft, illegal.4. And when I asked to speak to someone else who could make my request happen, he refused saying, that HE, ***** was the end of the line for complaints.5. So I asked **** for the name of his supervisor. He refused, saying that Grubhub doesnt give out that information.6. And when I asked **** for his last name, he refused to give it, saying that Grubhub wont let that information out.7. I told him that his organization is corrupt and hung up. I was so angry that I didnt wait to get my ONE MONTH REFUND. Instead, I went to my account online and cancelled it.

      Sadly, it's quite evident that no one in your organization did the proper research of your records OR someone in your organization is skimming the extra payment I have been making to Grub Hub each month since September of 2024 (7 months). This situation is not a banking error/problem. To make things perfectly clear, I am forwarding to you a 7-page document, one for each month with information copied from my credit union account clearly showing 2 monthly Grub Hub payments, on the 2nd and 29th, all on the same dates except for February since that month only has 28 days. Your organization made these extra deletions to my account, not the bank or any other organization.

      I am rejecting this response because:  Despite the documentation sent to **** Hub they simply doubled down on their refusal to acknowledge that they took double payments for 7 months from my credit union accounts. Stonewalling.

      I ordered almost $60 worth of food for my son and I after just getting home from a vacation. As I was tracking the order, I see the driver is close and the food should be arriving soon. We chose contactless delivery- someone usually knocks or rings the doorbell then sends a picture confirming receipt. I received an automatic text stating delivered but no picture. When i went to grab the food, noting was there. I called the driver 2x and also text. No response. I even drove around my complex to sse if it was delivered to the wrong apt. I immediately called grubhub to let them know my orded never arrived and I would like it reordered because it was **** and we still needed to eat. The *** told me she couldn't issue a refund. Doesnt make any sense since we had no food at all. I even tried the chat option and was given the same response. Unacceptable! The driver steals my food and I am the one who has to pay for it? Almost $60 gone and they only offer me a $5 credit. I have used this company for several years and have spent thousands of dollars. The only other option is to dispute the charges with my bank and I will never use Grubhub again for stealing from me!

      I ordered food for the convenience off grubhub. They went wait past the *** and did not refund my order when I contacted them. Wasted my time on chat for 30 mins. Then offered me small credits that dont even cover the significant difference in price between going into the store vs grubhub price. Then they wasted my time. Nothing for the inconvenience. Then they cancelled the order and didnt refund me. Gave me two 5 dollar credits. The manager I talked to did not help one bit. ********* A

      Hi, I placed an order for pickup. I received an incorrect order, upon contacting the customer service chat, they said they cannot do anything to fix it and I am left with incorrect food that I did not order. I would like a refund at this point, please. Thank you in advance.

      I placed an order through the GrubHub app to get items from a local ******* grocery store. Some of my items were out of stock and a refund was issued for those items. However, there were still 2 missing items. Since a refund for the out of stock items was already issued, the Help button that customers use to notify ******************** of an issue was not available. It took a long time for me to figure out how to contact GrubHub about this issue, and when I did finally figure it out, GrubHub stated that it was too late to issue a refund as more than 48 hours had passed. When I asked about the option for a credit on a future purchase, they again said since it was more than 48 hours, they could do nothing. So they took my money and did not provide the 2 missing items or do anything to reimburse me for the missing items.

      GrubHub does not offer refunds for wrong items sent. They offer partial credit. I did not order this item. This is the 5th time this has happened. They need to be held responsible for their drivers and wrong items sent.Also, there needs to be an option to have a US representative. This is an outrage. I'm out of money and they won't give me a full refund. It's time to end bad customer service and hold these businesses accountabale.
