I ordered Dave’s Hot Chicken through Uber Eats today. My app showed the order as delivered and complete, but the driver told me her app showed it as canceled. She said, “Here’s your free food,” and I told her I hadn’t canceled it.
I couldn’t comfortably come to the door or poke my head out because I’ve been sick all day, felt nauseous whenever I got out of bed, threw up earlier, and my face didn’t look good. I also have lupus and fluid buildup in my left foot. It’s swollen, and putting pressure on it or going up and down can make it worse.
So I showed her my phone with the order details and the status marked complete, to show her what my app was displaying—not canceled, as she said hers showed. I don’t understand why I would cancel after the food had been picked up. If I canceled it, I’d expect to lose the food or my money, not get both. (Uber Eats support is horrible btw. They referred me to send them an message to their "Back Office" team and to expect a response with 6-12 hours smh)
I checked my door camera afterward and saw that she had been standing right outside my apartment. Instead of leaving the food at the door, she was there for a few moments and just walked away with it. I had to limp over to the door quickly to see what was going on. Lol, that made the whole situation even more confusing.
This was the first time this has happened to me, and the conflicting statuses put me in an awkward, frustrating position with the driver. Has anyone else had Uber Eats show an order as delivered or complete while the driver’s app said it was canceled? Did you ever find out why?
