      On April 24th 2025 I ordered from Seamless a food delivery company, I never received my food, nor did the site show any tracking progress of the order. The order was for $31.88. Upon not receiving any order or updates I contacted Seamless (Grubhub) to see if I could be refunded, I was told I had too many refunds, despite making the account that morning and only having the order in question in my order history. I'm not getting any help, Seamless themselves confirmed the account only had one order and no prior refunds, however they were adamant on refusing these refunds.

      On 4/12, I received an order, where all contents of coffee had spilled in the order, making the order inedible. I contacted both the customer service portal and a supervisor, to which I was told they were unable to refund the order, as unusual refunds have been identified on my account. I asked for examples, as their service approves any refunds, which they were unable to do, so to incinuate that there were anomalies for any approved transaction by this service and being unable to provide examples was both an an attack on my character and irrelevant to the order issue I reported. The service was not rendered and I did not receive edible food. I am asking for a complete refund on my order, for the monthly service fees I have been paying, and a formal investigation into the supervisor and information that is being used to slander my character when interacting with this company. This inexplicable targeting and refusal to provide services is against the terms of the service I pay for and is both discriminating and retaliatory.

      Seamless app scams people by not applying the discount codes or promotions that are advertised on their app. They also charge an extra extraordinary amount for service fees. That is usually on top of delivery fees.

      I ordered a food delivery from a restaurant using Grub Hub - Order #********-******* . Driver did not arrive with the food. I called the driver's phone # 3 times - he answered 3 times stating he did not understand English. I tried to tell him where the building was and ask him where he was. He just kept stating that he couldn't understand English. I did not receive my food order. I called Grub Hub customer service. They cancelled the order - I asked them to issue a refund to the card I used to pay for it. When I went back online to check my refund status, it showed that they issued me a Seamless food credit, which I did not want. I called customer service again and they stated that they can't refund my card - they could only issue a Seamless credit. I now have to file a dispute against them with my bank.

      Hello,

      Thank you for your inquiry regarding the Grubhub Credit applied to your account.

      We understand your concerns regarding the issues with your order.

      The credit was applied to provide a swift resolution, allowing you to reorder immediately.

      We are unable to revert the credit to the original payment method, due to the credit being used on another order.

      I placed a delivery order on Seamless on February 28, 2025 and my driver was *******. I received a message saying my order was delivered, and messaged a number code because the *** message from Seamless told me to send that number to confirm my order. But I never received anything. **************** was totally unhelpful and just repeatedly said delivery was confirmed and they refused to help. Seeking a full refund because my driver stole my order.

      Today, 2/22/25, I placed an order through Seamless. I received a notification that my order was delivered but there was nothing at my front door. There was also no picture of the delivery and no one rang the doorbell in order to gain access to our building. It said that my order was delivered at 6:14pm and it was only 6:02pm I contacted Seamless and they immediately refused to give me a credit or a refund. They claimed that I have received too many refunds or credits. I have only received refunds for items missing from orders. I order from Seamless very often and I have not placed a claim for anything missing in months.They are lying. I also opened a Seamless account back in December using my Prime account so that I could get free delivery and Seamless closed my account without any explanation. Also, every time I interact with a customer service agent, they claim to be the supervisor on duty. Thats obviously a lie. They dont want customers to ask for the supervisor. ********************** needs to be investigated.

      In the past months Seamless/Grubhub has repeatedly forced me to interact with their customer service in order to either not honor their "on-time delivery guarantee" or "Lowest price guarantee" when either they have a late delivery or this is not the lowest price. Usually, you can file a claim on their online system and will receive a voucher in order to honor their "Seamless/Grubhub guarantee". In almost all instances the due voucher was declined by their system forcing me to go through their customer care service through chat. I have been consistently denied any answer from their customer service representative and simply referred to their system message that denies my claim. The system message is never applicable to my claim, yet it still denies any ability to claim the "guaranteed perk" that was supposed to be offered. These encounters can range from 15 minutes to 1 hour and are the utmost waste of my time. It is a bait and switch tactic that is dishonest... preying on the client's patience in order to avoid paying proper reparation for honoring their due vouchers. Here in the attachment is an example of such exchanges... I had multiple of these exchanges in the past few months and it is really aggravating: none of my exchanges have resulted in resolution and you can witness the dynamic a customer has to go through in order to be compensated... some exchanges were more lengthy and exhausting.
