Getting an Uber Eats Refund Has Never Been Easier!

Uber Eats is the popular online food delivery platform available through a web browser, iOS, and Android app. It was launched by the ride-sharing service Uber in 2014 and managed to take almost a quarter of the food delivery market in the U.S. The growth trend is expected to continue in the following years.

Through Uber Eats, users can explore restaurants, read menus and reviews, order food, and pay for everything with a credit card on file. Couriers deliver meals on foot, by car, bikes, or scooters.

Uber Eats Refund Policy

According to aRefund.com, qualifying for a refund with Uber Eats is no easy feat. Ordering food is done fast, several taps on your phone screen, and your order is sent to the restaurant. If you forgot to add some fries or a salad, or if you changed your mind about the whole order, you have to act fast. Uber Eats orders can be canceled before the restaurant accepts them, which usually happens right away or in a few minutes.

Besides immediate cancelations, you may get a refund from Uber Eats for mistakes made by the restaurant or delivery staff, including:

• Missing items
• Incorrect items
• Incorrect orders
• Late orders

In case of missing or incorrect orders, you need to report the problem to Uber Eats within seven days to get your money back.

When it comes to the question of how long Uber Eats refunds take, their website is not providing a lot of information. Some Reddit threads state long waiting times, extending to over three weeks.

How to Contact Uber Eats - Alternative Ways

While the following methods are not listed as proper channels for handling refunds, you may still try to use them.

Uber Eats Email

Uber Eats can be reached via email if you send your message to eats@uber.com.

Call Uber Eats

Another option is to use the phone. If you want to try to get your money back by talking to a customer representative, dial Uber Eats contact number 800-253-6882. If everything else fails, try sending them a message on their social media accounts.

Prepare for your Uber Eats Complaint

Make sure to prepare all the relevant details for your complaint, including order numbers and account information, as you will probably have to explain the issue from the start. If you want to avoid long waiting times, use DoNotPay to jump the queue and talk to a real person right away.

Potential Problems With Uber Eats Refunds

If the restaurant already started preparing your food when you change your mind, getting the money back might not be possible anymore. You may still receive a partial refund for items like the tip, service fee, booking and delivery fee, etc. The overview of charges will be visible in the last steps of the cancelation process before you confirm your choice.

In the case of late deliveries, Uber Eats states that external factors like bad weather or traffic jams can cause delays. If your delivery person attempts contact, but they’re not successful, you won’t qualify for a refund, and your card will be charged.
