STAY AWAY
February 12, 2017

Do not sign up for a Plus account thinking you'll actually be free of service and delivery fees with an order over $25. They don't tell you but you have to "verify" the merchant is under a specific list, otherwise your charged the entire order, plus, service fees, plus delivery fees, PLUS the $9.99/month. HA. Yeah, not EVER going to use this service again. Save yourself the trouble, use another service or go pick up what you need yourself and don't bother with Postmates.

Worst app I saw in this lifetime, the discounts never worked for me. Today they did multiple transactions on my card for one order and the order not placed. The funny part is they don't have customer care number to contact them. I am deleting this app now.

:( :( :(

Horrific
September 10, 2019

The amount of issues I faced from just one trip driving for Postmates is just too long for this comment. Also for this same trip the customer was told by Postmates customer service to pay double for an this issue that was not the customers fault... Do business with them at your own risk. Do it enough you will undoubtably get burnt.

Customer service is complete trash, only give you an email which they are terrible at replying to. I had an order cancelled, I was still charged for it. I wrote them an email which they never responded to just marked the issue as "resolved". I never received my money or food. Paid $40 for a panic attack...

They are thieves.
May 27, 2023

I won't ever use this service again.

Applied a coupon 30$ off, then I ordered. Suddenly the coupon was taken out from my order. I was charge for 48$. I realized this, so I cancelled my order right away within 2 minutes.
I realized I lost the whole money except the tip.
I contact the customer service 2 days later, and they told me they won't refund after 48 hours.
As a new user, how can I know?
I was charged for 48$ for nothing. They are such a thieves.
The customer services' representatives are so rude. They just cut me off and close the chat.

Postmates is very flexible but they need to design an app that makes more sense than people traveling 30+ minutes to pick up an order in which they will only receive $5. Also they need to increase their incentives so that more drivers would want to work for them. Maybe more bonuses or promos..

The driver left food outside the screened in patio where it would not be safe from squirrel and other creatures! Crazy. I believe this was to avoid the doorbell camera which would have alerted me to the food being out there! Too bad it sat out there. Not happy and will use better, more reliable services from now on.

Scam
December 10, 2016

This is the worst delivery service in nyc by far. Two times I ordered food delivery and can see the person picked it up and then when the eta is 1 minute away they suddenly disappear and do not attempt to contact me. Then I get an email saying the order was complete. It is impossible to get someone live to find out what happened to the order or get a refund. This place is a total scam.

All i wanted was a pint of ice cream - they say it delivered and show the package but not the doorway - it was obviously the wrong house - and you have to wait forever on the phone for a refund. What an awful service p- they should be put out of business.

DO NOT USE POSTMATES
October 6, 2018

Postmates charged my card 100$ on day when I did not even order food. Despite the fact that this is illegal, they did not even provide an explanation for this. I highly recommend people NOT use their service. They will perform unauthorized charges on your account, and their customer service is highly unprofessional. I have never left a review for a restaurant or delivery service. But this was so bad that I had to.

Horrible
January 28, 2018

Terrible service. My friend let us use his debit card, but the charge was disputed. Even though I've switched my account back to using my own card, which works fine, they have put a freeze on my account. When I wrote to the support team, they said I had to get my friend to provide bank statements to unfreeze my account?! Bull$#*!. Use doordash, eat24, or grub hub. Awful company

Awful customer service
February 16, 2017

The app charged to incorrect card for the purchase, and when I reached out to the company they were less than willing to work with me on this issue, which was infact, their issue.

I have deleted the app from my phone and will be a strong advocate against using this company.

Their suggested times were highly inaccurate, they did not charge the correct card, and their customer service is some of the worst.

False Advertising
October 13, 2019

False advertising. Poor customer service. Undecided only to make the wrong decisions. They are absolute trash. In writing they will tell you you will get 100 dollars off, but when you don't and you actually call them, after 10 minutes they assure you that this will apply as 99 cents for your next 100 orders, if you are lucky. Absolute trash.

I will select a chain restaurant in Vancouver, WA yet, on multiple times, the order is redirected to Portland, Oregon?

I canceled an order to Panda Express because that location is actually located inside Airport terminal and no way for driver to park their car and retrieve. I've complained with live person previously and it's still happening.

Why I'm so angry is because this happened once again yesterday. Within 30 seconds I hit cancel, yet my Bank Account has $30.00+ Pending on hold. I think this is horrible and yes, as previous complaints have stated, it's a scam. I did not receive any goods or services yet you received my money. On a large scale somebody making out or laundering funds?

Are you trying to build up local business after letting looters & rioters ruin downtown. IDN, but I'm mad.

DECEIVING THEIR DRIVERS
December 31, 2018

Postmates needs to go out of business in 2019. They are consistently stealing from deivers $1 here and $2 there so it becomes difficult to make a big deal about $1 and whenever I do complain about delivery fees being short they either #1 ignore me or #2 say their payout is correct and thats that. They have multiple drivers claiming the same issues. They leave drivers in bad situations all the time. You cant see drop off location until after food is picked up. They say walmart deliveries pay more, but they simply pay less delivery fee so every thing will add up to $4 plus it takes way more time to complete a wall mart delivery for no extra pay. They force customers to tip so they will never tip more than $1 which makes it tough. The complaints pile high and its the management disingenuous responses that makes me leave a review

Scam fees.
March 30, 2021

Was supposed to get free delivery with "Postmates party". Was still charged a delivery fee, plus other charges that were not authorized beforehand. At least let me know beforehand that there'll be $10+ extra tacked on to my order so I can close the app and pick up the food myself.
Wait time for customer service is currently 1hr+.

Dishonest and rude.
February 18, 2019

NEVER EVER AGAIN. The customer service folks just give a canned reply when you tell them half of what you ordered didn't show up... issue a $5.00 credit when there is over $12.00 of food missing! Theft! I'll take it up with my Credit Card company. I'm pretty sure these shysters won't last for much longer. They are so dishonest.
