The quality of Postmates' customer service has officially gone down hill, making it insane for me to use over cheaper and more diverse options at this point.
I don't usually use delivery services but thought I would try. I ordered for delivery and food tracker showed food was ready. After 20 mins I called the restaurant and was told that it was ordered for pick up by me. I paid almost $10 extra thru them so I could pick it up? I tried to call Postmates but the phone number didn't work. After tracking down a working number, I was transferred 9 separate times and no one could find my order because even though I had to enter all my info, Post mates did not put my phone number or last name on the order.Good news is,Customer service was very nice as they continued to pass me around. After an hour and a half on the phone, I was told the matter would have to be escalated by email and someone would get back to me. I won't hold my breath!
I spent a lot of money with Postmates, but after about a year, 2 different credit cards got stolen. My card were used in 2 different states, within 90 days. I had to cancel those cards. Once I quit using Postmates the credit card fraud stopped. They are thieves. Stay away from them.
Stay away! First, they fail to deliver and there is no "oops, I'm sorry". Next they refund you your food charges, but somehow your tip is not part of it. I left $15 tip on my order and that was problem since they had no way of getting it back from the guy who failed to deliver.
I ordered online from a menu i thought was from a restaurant and was overcharged over $50 from what the restaurant charges even though I picked up the order myself! I will never use this company or Uber Eats ever again. If the restaurant doesn't have a menu on their website call them directly! Don't pay for absolutely no service!
Postmates is horrible. I placed an order today like I do a couple times a week. Today, I didn't receive my order and Uber eats refused to refund my money. Uber eats asked me had I gone around to neighbors looking for my food. I placed the order at night and I don't know my neighbors because I've been in my house less than a year. It was a stupid idea to suggest. I will never use Postmates/ Uber eats again. The customer service rep said that Uber eats doesn't reimburse patrons who don't receive their orders..
I didn't know Postmates was bought by Ubereats. Realized after my order was all screwed up. Ubereats wouldn't refund me $62 last week. I decided to try Postmates this time. This time False menu advertisement saying buy one get one free. When I picked up my food that wasn't the case. I've been trying to get a hold of a representative for 30 mins and the phone line is always busy. Never Again!
We've been using Postmates for a while. In the beginning it was great! Lately, though, we've been informed that our delivery driver has one or more stops to make after picking up our order. Which means we receive cold, soggy food. I have no idea how the drivers decide what order the orders are delivered in, but, regardless, the system is extremely flawed!
A Total scam, with false promotions. Takes 3 DAYS to PROCESS ORDERS. Service fees are sure to make no differences to your supposed "discount". And, they add secret prices. They placed a 3 day, $55.00 hold on my credit card, then overcharged me on the total. For example, 2 items@ $36.26 + $7.61 service fee = $43.87 - $5.00 promo = $38.87. I was charged $39.65?! That's a $0.78 overcharge.
Postmates is a shady, rip-off outfit that thrives on and exploits ambiguity. They are deliberately hard to reach. You may believe you are ordering "delivery" but will be bait and switched into "pick-up". If you try to cancel, be prepared for an arduous, lengthy, bank-involved, fraud dept involved odyssey designed to take your money and wear you down until you give up - like an insurance company.
There is a reason this site has a one star rating in aggregate. Consider yourself warned.
I've had ***two orders in a row*** where the delivery driver dropped/cracked my drink, which was Kung Fu Tea, at my doorstep. Crediting my account means nothing if drivers are not personally held accountable. I understand that mistakes happen and we are human, but we as humans learn nothing if not held accountable for our mistakes. The first delivery driver tried to hide the fact that it happened, thank goodness for cameras. Postmates doesn't care about you, your business, nor their customers. Take your business elsewhere, wish I could rate ZERO stars. Shameful.
My food waited at the restaurant for over two hours and never arrived. Do not waste your time and money on Postmates. It's impossible to get a hold of anyone and the estimated delivery times are worthless.
They say you can see all charges before placing order but they block the charges with a Grey bar, then show you a total. Once you click place order and pay the price jumps up again. That seems criminal, tried to cancel my order immediately no luck. Will never use this service again would rather be hungry than robbed.
Taxes add so much money to the order. The past 3 times I've ordered off of post mates, something has gone wrong. Parts of my order have been missing, they've gotten my order wrong, or it just never got delivered after it said it was on the way. Literally the worst service ever and I recommend staying far away from this app.
Customer service chat is horrible, it's automated and a waste of time, you'll get 3 with the same response which is, "please give us 1 to 3 minutes to look into your account"... Drivers that are near the area to pick up and deliver 1 item sit there and don't move, then the driver changes and your time gets pushed back. At the end who knows when or if you will get want you ordered to be delivered.
The play the blame game when refunds are required. If a customer order is not correct due to postmates and the restaurant errors (Who Dat Wings in New Orleans), both companies still try to blame the customer & refuse to provide some type of refund where no food was purchased or given to the customer. Along with that the server cross contaminated the food, unsanitary practices. Now I have to get a lawyer involved to obtain a refund least then $50.00. I will never use this service again or purchase any food from Who Dat Wings and More #2 in New Orleans.
Ordered from smashburger. It charged me double. The sandwich and fries were 13 and some change. I paid $27. An hour and a half later my food just barely arrived and its freezing cold. Granted its snowing in Denver right now but its a 5 min drive from restaurant to my job. I will never ever order from them again.
Ordered water from Walgreens via Postmates delivery.
Total cost of the order was 24$ and Postmates charged me tips for extra 70$ for this order by mistake
And then took one more transaction from my card for 65,77$. Customer service answer, that they are not able to help, because tips go straight to the Postmates driver. They did nothing to help!
Never gonna use them! Again! What a fraud! 150 $ total for water! Insane
This must be a criminal organization to promote theft of products they are supposed to deliver. This order was supposedly delivered at 2 a.m. on the same day and many hours before I placed the order with Apple at 4:30 p.m.
My estimated total was 30% less than what I was actually charged and I have to pay $20 to cancel. I would have just drove to get my food I'm so annoyed! Never ever using postmates again, literally a scam. The percent error on that estimate is out of the roof!
Answer: I got charged twice instead of once. For my delivery now that they made a mistake and didn't take care of it I'll never use postmate ever again
Answer: They Don't answer you back until after 5 days so that they can say "Unfortunately we will not give you your money back because we only issues refunds if the claim is made in a timely manner" horrible company
Answer: Their app has all type of glitches and issues they did the very same to me I didn't even sign up for their free trial but I am now having to dispute a charge of 95.88 on my account. I was charged for orders I never got and also I reached out to them multiple times never got anything back. They actually put on the app that the order was resolved when I have never spoken to them this company is a fraud and I do not know why they are still in business! I'd say remove your card information.
