Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 74 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many customers reported significant issues with delivery services, including long waiting times, cold food, and orders that never arrived or were left in incorrect locations. People frequently expressed dissatisfaction with the customer service, describing it as unhelpful, unresponsive, and unwilling to resolve problems or offer appropriate refunds. Reviewers also encountered problems with incorrect or missing items in their orders, with some orders reportedly being incomplete or only a portion of what was paid for being delivered. The refund process was a major source of frustration, as many customers were denied refunds even with clear evidence of service failures, leading to feelings of being ignored and unfairly treated.

If i could zero starts i would

If i could zero starts, i would.
order for 120 and instructed the driver to wait outside until we will pick the order up.The driver left the food beside a bin shed , (no idea where is it ) and left. I've spent an hour on the phone with them where the only thing they could say to me '' that's our policy'', the driver waited, where was he waiting i have no idea.
The worse company ever , don't order with them unless you want your money to go to waste.

Useless

Absolutely useless company. We ordered, and after more than 1.5 hours some of the food arrived, ice cold and the calamari was burnt. We complained, they said the rest of the food was with a second driver. Only a single item arrived, not all the missing food. We complained again, and they absolutely refused to give a refund without a physical receipt, which we never got from the driver. They are a bunch of thieves.

Thieves

When it works it is extortionate cost.
When it doesn't work I would call them thieves.
I pay for a service, you don't deliver that service, then expect me to be happy about only getting half my money back.
An hour after ordering, I am delivered part of my order, which was inedible.
I then spent an hour disagreeing with customer services as they offered me between 10% and 50% of my money back. And still wanted me to pay delivery! Zero attempt to rectify the situation - no attempt to deliver some food. And I am out of pocket, down 2 hours of my time and my family are still hungry and have not had dinner.
I cannot express how ridiculous I find it that anyone would see this as reasonable!
I will not use this service again!

I can only attest to what has been said here. Driver did not ring the doorbell or knock, then sent me a picture of the food on his bike as he was driving away. Customer service claims the driver was in front of my house for 12 minutes trying to reach me. He was probably sitting on my porch eating my food because he certainly didn’t try to contact me.

Told me I don’t need a refund for things I paid for and didn’t receive. Deleted Deliveroo and cancelled Deliveroo plus. And jokes on Deliveroo because I got every penny I paid back through my bank with the FRAUD they are committing. Shame on you Deliveroo

Avoid at all costs!

Wow! I kinda wish I found this page earlier. Anyway Deliveroo is truly terrible. Have a read of all the one star reviews here. Rarely can you see so many one star reviews on one company. I won't bore you with my personal experience, terrible btw. The only thing I can say if you use them and actually get what you ordered you are truly one of the lucky few. Terrible customer service and exhibits all the hallmarks of business going through a death spiral. Avoid and spread the word.

Delivery rider never delivered food

Beware. Delivery driver will ring you for code & not actually deliver.
Sorry to say but I got burned by this last night.
Gave the delivery code over the phone.
Delivery rider never delivered food. Restaurant or Deliveroo wouldn’t compensate. Absolutely disgraceful. Will never use service again.

Worst experience

Worst experience. Was spending avg. 400 euro a month on deliveroo but in recent times have notice a serious drop in customer service. Full orders not arriving or incorrect items arriving. After highlighting this to the help team I was told on multiple occasions in an automated response I wasn't entitled to compensation. Cancelled my deliveroo plus account and have moved my business to uber eats.

Crap customer service

2 items missing and what was delivered was cold. Their Web chat agent deemed this a matter that didn't merit a partial refund. Escalated to a Web chat manager who also was of same opinion. So Deliveroo think it's outrageous that people should expect to get everything they pay for and for food to be hot.

They didn't deliver the food

They didn't deliver the food. We rang and they said they'd left it outside. When we told them we had cameras and that we knew they were lying, they told us they'd been to the house, rang the phone 4 times and then left (no missed calls on the phone) They just lie, my advice is just avoid where possible and never pay upfront. The lowest of the low

Ban Masked Deliveroo Riders/Abusive Intimidating Riders

I am writing to raise a serious concern regarding the behavior of delivery drivers, which reflects a growing number of similar complaints found online. Earlier today, I was verbally abused, intimidated, and menaced by one of your e-scooter drivers as I was on my way home. Despite being in the privacy of my own vehicle, I was subjected to verbal assault. Naturally, I retaliated, as I will not tolerate being abused or verbally attacked by anyone while in my own car.

This incident reflects a larger issue with delivery drivers acting irresponsibly on the road, creating unsafe and intimidating situations for other road users. The fact that many drivers are allowed to wear balaclavas or fully cover their faces while driving only heightens public discomfort and complicates accountability.

For the safety of your drivers and the general public, I strongly urge your company to ban the use of balaclavas or face coverings by drivers while operating e-scooters, electric bikes, or any other vehicles. Drivers should also be held accountable for their conduct to ensure they follow legal and respectful behavior on the road.

Addressing this ongoing issue and improving the conduct of your drivers is essential for the safety of road users and to uphold the reputation of your company. I expect a prompt response and immediate action to investigate this incident and prevent future occurrences.

I have written a formal complaint also in anticipate Deliveroo's reply including an investigation. The abusive male driver who verbally attacked me, a petite woman in my own private vehicle whilst minding my own business is a danger and should be held accountable.

I ordered my food and my card wad automatically charged. When It was delivered my partner didn't know it was paid for and handed the driver cash the driver took the money. When I rang to get a refund I was told there was nothing they could do as it was the drivers friend who delivered it an he didn't answer his phone. Won't be using this service again

Wrong food, no compensation.

I received the wrong food. I asked the driver on arrival for the receipt but he just shrugged and said he didn't have one. Although Mohammad and his manager Christopher were nice at first, they refused to compensate me for the mistake and wasted a lot of my time! Will not use Deliveroo again if this is how they treat customers.

They hire anyone with no standards

They hire anyone with no standards. I was threatened and intimidated by the rider today because the order was a long distance and the rider was on a bicycle. I didn't choose him as a rider. I definitely wouldn't have chosen a cyclist if I had an option. When he arrived, he was so angry about the distance between the restaurant and my home. He demanded money like a burglar covering his face with a black mask very aggressively. Ireland doesn't have a tipping culture like the US and why would anyone want to tip this person after being threatened by. I couldn't believe I had to experience this and their customer service just gave me genetic copy and paste messages, just couldn't care less. I have deleted my account today because I do not wish to experience traumatic incidents like this in the future.

Scam! Stay away!! Order never arrived

I ordered food and got a call from the delivery driver that I picked up and told him that I am going straight down which I did. He was not there however. So I called him again and he didn't pick up. I called a few times and looked around to find him but he never picked up or showed up. After searching him for 20 min in the cold he apparently blocked my phone number. The food was not left anywhere as he claimed.
I reorder from the same restaurant and specifically asked for a different delivery driver. Unfortunately it was the same one and he did the same thing again.
This time he was going back and forth really scaring me.
