Professional Client (healthcare), tried Skip the Dishes for the fist time and experienced multiple charges and attempted charges to my credit card; total amount was in excess of $1000.00.
Won't happen again...DONE!
BEWARE :(

I ordered over $40 worth of food. It said delivered but was never actually left at my door. I checked the house next door to see if it was a mistake. No food anywhere. I reached out to Skip on their app and it said 'no representatives were online to speak with me'. I tried an hour later, then again a couple hours later. I tried for 4 days straight. Finally found an email address for their customer service and they replied saying they only issue refunds within the first 48 hours. Apparently when you message on the app and it says 'someone will get back to you shortly', they don't keep any record of you reaching out. I'll never order from them again but buyer beware. Apparently it's not uncommon to happen and their representatives seem to not care about customer retention.

They pay around 0.25 to 0.30 cents per km which is terrible, many times we receive an order in which 20 kms drive for $5.50 or $6, if you don't accept the order you're done for the day, there's no more orders. They have way too many drivers and the order range is between 5 to 7 dollars, if customers don't give a tip its not even worth for gas.

I've given this company way to many chances. Constantly waiting way over time estimates and lazy drivers leave good nowhere near my door. Customer service is the worst I've seen with any business, it's absolutely the worst and don't get your money back when they get it wrong or in some cases not at all even get your order. Don't giving this company anymore chances or money. Everyone should do the same and use a different delivery service or go back to restaurants doing their own deliveries

3 HOUR DELIVERY!
January 26, 2022

Placed an order at 5 pm was stated 35 - 55 min delivery the order showed up at 8pm. Did not want to do a full refund as the food ended up in the garbage from being cold and soggy. Will not recommend and nor will I ever order again. Been using Uber eats for years. Was willing to try something new. Uber eats is far superior the skip the dishes. They r a company that will always if not most of the time look after the customer even if it is a lose.

Just don't bother
April 25, 2022

Extremely unreliable. Food missing from order about 50% of time. Last order the driver must have thrown it in the porch because a can of pop was punctured and leaked everywhere. If an item is missing they don't reimburse or go and get the missing product. They give you a credit which means you have to pay service and delivery fees. Also you pay tip up front, so if you have a lazy driver who can't be bothered to place the product where you've requested, or steals one of your food items, you're out of luck for your tip. Skip the Dishes does not care.

Yet again skip the dishes has completely bent me over. Their side of things food went wrong and now I had to drive to the restaurant myself to fix the problem as they'd only offer me 50% back for a cold coffee! 50% of 3$! This company is as cheap as it gets. Honestly this is one company that would do the world justice to shut down and let someone else do it right. SKIP THE DISHES SUCKS! The customer service is beyond horrific. They absolutely can barely speak English creating a language barrier to begin and these "help employees" get an attitude the second it inconveniences their day meaning you're the one to suffer because it has nothing to do with their money. You cannot contact help to speak with someone all of their lines are permanently busy. This company is owned by a crook and scams all! Stay away!

Terrible company
February 11, 2024

I've used Skip many times. I have had nothing but trouble with them. The drivers are terrible. The service is terrible. I deleted my account when my ordered was delivered cold and the food was not cooked right and the meat tasted off and skip refused to refund even part of the order. That was the last straw. I will never use them again.

Worst customer service ever
October 23, 2021

I tried to refuse my order because it was more than 30 minutes late and I knew the food wouldn't be good anymore. The deliver guy lied in my face, said he would confirmed that the food was not delivered and told me I would get a refund without any problem. A minute later, I got a text message saying that my ordered was delivered and accepted. Impossible to chat with the customer service even thought they have a Chat application on their website. I sent many emails but never got an answer.

Bad service
April 26, 2020

I'm paying so much for delivery and leaving a good tip only to have bad customer service. I asked customer support a question and all they said was "your order was delivered, is there anything I can assist you with?" It's a total round-about passive way to not help customers. Terrible.

Still waiting
January 25, 2023

Can't contact anyone. When trying to use their online service u need to pay another 2$ for assistance. Garbage Company been waiting for over 2 hours still nothing. I recommend gettjng a carrier pigeon to deliver your food it will probably get to u before they will! Skip the dishes should be re named skip the food but take your money

Horrible company
February 20, 2020

As a restaurant owner I can honestly say this is by far the absolute worst company I have ever had to deal with. As I write this I'm on hold now for over 40 minutes. The absolute worst customer service ever. I'm dumping them and going with door dash as they actually care about the restaurant owner as well as the customers. Skip can skip on off. I've been on hold now for an emergency and still not answering. This is just ridiculous

Thieves
October 21, 2022

Absolutely a rip off. I have used them 4 times and three time was a disaster ending up with cold food or hot ice cream. The last and final time they never brought anything and stole my money. If you want to waste or lose your money use Skip the dishes

If less than a star was an option, I would put none! Claim they sent a refund and never received it, also confirmed with my bank, and no record, this company is a scam and a crook! They steal what's owed to you, wish I had read reviews before signing up, as I see others also didn't receive their refund either!

Added costs in BC.
February 4, 2021

With the additional fee.we will now be leaving less of a tip.
When asked to chat about the new charge the person contacted left.
Most restaurants are offering free delivery without skip...
We and many of our friends have now ended our relation with this company.
Disgusted!

Appalling service
December 1, 2020

After years of loyalty I'm done with skip. I waited outside my building and no driver ever showed up. I was chatting in real time with an agent and verified my address and phone number, but the courier never showed up or called, then changed their status to "food delivered". I left a bad review and the courier called me and YELLED at me, saying they did their job and I messed up. Keeping an eye out for my refund, sounds like they're bad at following through on those too.

Once contacted about a coffee order that had been sitting for 90 minutes. Customer service informs me it's still going to be another HOUR! Restaurant is only 15 minutes away. When trying to find out the reasoning, I was berated and lied too and then the representative ended the chat.
Another time a driver had his car die on the side of the road for an hour with my food. Out of a $50 order, I was only refunded $22.20.
Don't expect anything out of this customer service!
Use any other company!

Extremely poor service
December 17, 2021

Made an order and even after waiting for approx 2 hrs the order was not delivered. They don't have any feedback on your order nor allow anywhere to cancel your order. It's extremely frustrating. Tried to make an online complaint and the system didn't submit my complain saying email is not correct despite the fact the email was correct. Checked with restaurant and they said my order is ready but no one came to pick it up. If these companies cannot arrange an order pick up which is their primary work then why they do not simply cancel the client order and notify them. These companies are piece of $#*!.
