      Its been a little bit since I last used my Grubhub account and used it on Sunday to order food for a gathering we were having. Last night around 10pm I received a alert that my order was on its way and when I looked it was for a liquor store in the amount of $184. Immediately contacted Grubhub and they said they could not cancel the order and told me they would send it to the fraud department. This person accessed my account a day after I used it added their address for delivery along with a phone number to be contacted. I called the liquor store number that was on the app and asked him not to release the order because it was fraud he still gave it to the driver. When the driver picked it up I contacted the driver using the phone number provide in the app and he stated he was going to pull aside and contact Grub hub. You can see on the app that he is around the corner waiting and about 20 minutes later he delivered the order. Grub hub could have contacted the store, the driver or cancelled the order and they did nothing to help me. They instead told me that I would hear via email from their fraud department on the status of my dispute.

      Hello, 

       

      Thank you for reaching out regarding being charged for your Grubhub+ subscription. 

       

      We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. 

       

      We looked into this for you and found the subscription did not have a trial due to you already using a 30 day trial with us back in April. However, as a one time courtesy, we have refunded the charge for you. You should see the refund reflected within the next 3-5 business days.

      On 8/21/2022, my GrubHub account was hacked. The person attempted to place two orders at ********* through my PayPal account, which is linked to my GrubHub account. Luckily, PayPal detected the fraud, and the payments were canceled. The hacker changed the login email for my GrubHub account, so I cannot log in to delete my payment methods or change my log in information. I contacted GrubHub Customer Support FIVE times about this (twice on 8/22, once each on 8/23, 8/25, and 8/29). I have only received one response, which was to my first email, and said they were escalating my issue to their "Advanced Account Review team". I have heard nothing since then (yes, I checked Spam) despite my repeated queries. I was forced to cancel my credit card because I cannot log in to my GrubHub account to delete my payment methods. This is a HUGE headache because I have so many automatic payments scheduled such as dance lessons, insurance, etc. Now they all have to be updated once my new card arrives. It is clear that GrubHub does not take security and customer privacy seriously.

      On August 20th, someone hacked my Grubhub account and placed a pick up order in ******* at Starfish Chicken and Gyros for $98.09. I live in *******, they should have safeguards or multi factor authentication for orders not near your home address. Grubhub PICKUP order#********-5353376. I contacted the store, and someone had already picked the order up. I contacted GrubHub and was told I would hear back with 48 hours. Despite multiple follow up attempts, there is no resolution to the fraudulent order and charge. They still have not taken any action or contacted me.

And 3x send to escalations unit which all said 24 to 48 hrs it's been 4 days and no one contacted me in regards to this matter. I spoke to 4 supervisor which all of them reported a different story. Computer messed up. The other didn't imput the correct information. The other sent it to the wrong department. Ect ect. No one can contact the escalations unit. I'm beyond frustrated. I will like my money back plus compensation due to lack of communication and staff neglect.

      On Saturday Aug 27, 2022, I placed order number 34641991-0452405 for delivery today. I noticed that a ten-dollar discount for a first-time order was not applied on the website. I contacted Grub Hub chat and ************ confirmed that the code should have been applied. She tried to apply it manually and could not. She advised me that she could not as the restaurant had not confirmed the order. She asked me to contact support today after order confirmed and I did. I worked with two different agents, both of whom did not apply the discount. I am attaching copies of two chats. The very first one confirms that the discount should have been applied. This is deceptive activity. I just want them to honor their offer. It surely should not be this difficult for a first-time customer. I had also asked to chat with a supervisor, and it was declined as well.

      My complaint is due to the fact that I have ordered from GrubHub four times now and every time they cancel my order I order in a timely fashion so if the merchants or restaurants whatever you want to call them I'm not accepting any orders then they need to put it on the site that they close at a different time and if the dashers don't want to pick it up because they're 15% tip is it good enough then you guys need to get some new workers so now again I'm going to starve tonight because your company couldn't follow through with an order it's pathetic unprofessional and ridiculous. And just an FYI as far as you guys being the cheapest you're not your prices are outrageous that is false advertisement

      I am rejecting this response because: the simple fact that it has happened more than once and you're going to offer $10 now don't take it that I'm unappreciated of that but with the inflation your guys's prices are higher than Ubers for sure I don't know so much about doordash but they s**** up all the time too but that's not about this like I said I went three times without eating at night and I have diabetes so it is absolutely important that I eat and unfortunately I do not get off of work until 8:00 p.m. so I cannot put in an order until after 8:00 p.m. and if the restaurant is saying that they are taking orders until 9:15 p.m. and my order is in by 8:30 p.m. there's no reason my order is not fulfilled and delivered and then I don't even get a text until when my food is supposed to be delivered. I am attaching three of the six times that my food was canceled and then I'm attaching the latest you can put in order and this is just with specifically Boston market I've had issues with Popeyes black Rock and grill restaurant but it won't let me upload the rest of them so whereas you can see they take orders until 9:45 my orders were made way before thatn

      I've order numerous time through grubhub and many times they get the order right and many times they've gotten the order wrong. I request refunds for missing items from my orders, like any normal person would do. I pay for what I order and if I don't get these items.... you don't just get to keep my money. Well my last complaint they were missing an item again, when I requested a refund a supervisor on duty, **************** said he wasn't going to refund me and advance the situation. I asked why... his reply was because my account had too many refunds processes. Well yea, if I don't get the items, I shouldn't have to be charged for them. Well now my grubhub account went under review . I canceled my account with them and still want them to pay me for the items I didn't receive.
