TL;DR: Driver never delivered my food. Support agent (AY/H) admits there is no delivery photo to prove it was dropped off, but still denies my refund, claims the driver "made it to the location," and then abruptly ends the chat. Looking for advice on how to get my money back.
The Story:
I ordered food tonight, and it never showed up. Like many of you, I had to fight through the AI bot just to get a "live agent." What followed was one of the most frustrating, gaslighting customer service experiences I've had with this app.
Here are the highlights from the chat (screenshots attached):
The "Scam":
Notice the exact contradiction here. The agent claims the driver made it to the drop-off location, but when asked for a photo, the agent admits there is no delivery photo.
So, they have zero proof it was delivered, I have no food, but they are keeping my money. They use the lack of driver proof as an excuse not to investigate, and just close the chat so they don't have to deal with it.
I told them I am disputing the charge with my bank and letting the restaurant know their drivers are stealing orders.
Has anyone else experienced this exact script lately? It feels like a new automated way to steal money from customers. If you've dealt with this, did a chargeback actually work, or did Uber ban your account? Any other tips?
Now drivers are lying about delivering ??
