Secret Hack That'll Get Your DoorDash Fees Waived

With DoorDash, you can have your favorite meals from top local restaurants delivered to your front door. However, many people who use this service are often surprised by the amount of DoorDash fees they're charged. For certain restaurants and order types, purchasing even very modest amounts of food can be incredibly pricey.

Worse still, most consumers are resigned to paying them without question.

As the world's first and best-known AI Consumer Champion, DoNotPay can help you appeal these extra and unnecessary charges and get your money back fast.

How Much Does DoorDash Charge Per Transaction?

DoorDash delivery fees range from just .99 cents per transaction to $7.99. However, DoorDash recently introduced a subscription service that allows you to bypass these fees entirely. For $9.99 per month, you can order food without having any additional delivery charges added to your final price.

This is a good deal for anyone who orders food from DoorDash more than three times per month. According to DoorDash, your subscription will essentially pay for itself after your third order has been placed.

DoorDash Fees Explained

With DoorDash, any additional fees that users are required to pay are largely determined by the restaurants they order from. If you take a look at your latest DoorDash bill, you'll likely find itemized amounts for:

• Sales tax
• Delivery fees
• Service fees

In some instances, there are other special charges. To minimize the amount of money that you're spending over and beyond the amount of your actual food costs, you'll have to shop around for restaurants that limit their service and delivery fees.

How to Avoid DoorDash Fees

There are several things that you can do to avoid DoorDash fees entirely or simply limit your spending in this area. For instance, you can:

1. Sign up for a monthly subscription to DoorDash.
2. Shop for restaurants that charge the lowest service fees or no fees at all.
3. Use promotional codes to offset additional charges.

However, many savvy DoorDash customers have noted that using promotional codes to offset delivery fees doesn't always have the intended result. When applying promo codes, users may find that their delivery fees automatically increase in direct relation to the amount of the discount applied. If this is the case, you'll wind up paying the same total that you'd pay if no promo code had been added at all.

Does DoorDash Have Hidden Fees?

Given that DoorDash service fees and delivery fees aren't set in stone, the amounts that you wind up paying for individual orders can vary significantly. For instance, service fees and delivery fees for all restaurants accessible through DoorDash increase during peak hours of operation.

If you order food for delivery during these times, you'll pay significantly higher charges than if ordering during hours when demand is typically low. Peak hours for DoorDash services are between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. and between 4 p.m. and 9 p.m.

How to Fight DoorDash Fees by Yourself

DoorDash and other delivery services like it are largely app-based and digitally managed. Thus, getting in contact with an actual person is rarely easy. However, fees that are charged by these companies can always be appealed. You can send an email or chat message to customer support. Customer service representatives may be able to apply promo codes to your order retroactively if you've overlooked any applicable discounts. If you want to appeal fees that you believe were excessive or unnecessary, you can:

If none of these methods work, you can always try contacting the company by mail.
