Neighbour stole my Deliveroo order

111 replies

Well, I can only imagine that’s what’s happened, since I’ve received an email from Deliveroo stating that it’s been delivered but nothing has arrived. I’ve since messaged Deliveroo, who have refunded the full amount to my account - but I’m more pissed off wondering a) where my order has gone and b) if they delivered it to the wrong address and a dishonest neighbour claimed it as their own. How hard is it to get the right door number FFS?

I would be fucking livid and would go banging on all my neighbours doors to see if I could smell what I had ordered.

Not really but I do love my takeaway.

AGHHHH · 15/12/2018 23:52

Don't deliveroo GPS track it to the door
? I'd try and see where it went.

Happened to me with domino's. Very annoyed

I mean it’s tipping down with rain and freezing cold where we are so for some poor teen on a bike, working for peanuts, getting a wrong door could be quite easy!

🤔 how hard is it to go pick up your own food?

We know nothing about OP's situation at home so it's probably kinder to reserve judgement.

Santasshoe · 15/12/2018 23:57

I had this I live in a flat and they delivered to the same number house nearby despite my notes of it being the flats on my order. The people opened the door and just took my pizzas. Don't think I would have the nerve myself. Speaking to dominoes they used to do the same when the people before ordered and the driver got the wrong address.

Oh get a grip if everyone collected their own food their would be no jobs for deliveroo people. Also not everyone can collect babies asleep, don’t drive etc 🙄

ChasedByBees · 15/12/2018 23:58

Surely they must know where it went?

That's a stupid question. A delivery service is offered and a customer uses it. God for us. Use your bloody head.

AGHHHH · 15/12/2018 23:59

God forbid.

Our Deliveroo drivers/cyclists always phone when they are at your house to check it's the right address.

Longdistance · 16/12/2018 00:00

This is part of the reason I have cctv on my house. Our street is gardens, the next street is road. The same number house has been taking my parcels in. How do I know? I watched a car pull up at the end of my road, drive off in other houses direction, 2 minutes after ‘delivery’ same car drives past. I send dh over, who brings back the box fully opened 😡

I know send parcels to my mums house as it’s getting silly.

BreconBeBuggered · 16/12/2018 00:02

Honestly. Isn't the point of Deliveroo the fact that you're not picking up your own takeaway? What are some of you on? OP, I wouldn't be knocking on doors, but I couldn't guarantee not to sniff through a few letterboxes. Or if the weather's bad, wait and go through the bins later.

clockworklime · 16/12/2018 00:03

None of your fucking business is it?

HollowTalk · 16/12/2018 00:06

I'm sure Deliveroo would be delighted to hear the recommendation that the OP picks up her own food, as would the person delivering it, who'd be out of work.

Our address comes up round the corner on Google and Uber always go there. We go round and wait there now. Maybe they just couldn't find you?

Sparklesocks · 16/12/2018 00:19

Oh no! Glad you got a refund.
We had a weird one once where the webpage said the food had been delivered but the driver had disappeared off the map and hadn’t arrived. We called deliveroo and told them it was marked as delivered but nobody had come. They handled it very well to be fair and sent out a new order with a new driver.

30 mins later we are eating the second order when the first driver turns up..with our first order..after being AWOL for an hour! No idea what happened to him as he gave us the food and sped off..but sometimes the status isn’t accurate!

Collecteroo doesn't sound quite as useful, does it?

Is my assumption correct? Where else could it have gone? I’ve received several takeaways that weren’t mine at my door over the past couple of years and have always redirected them to the correct address. I feel so sad that one of my neighbours would just steal my food like that. I’ve spoken to Deliveroo and apparently they can’t reach the driver - very helpful.

Honestly, you lazy lot getting food delivered! When I have pizza I make sure I travel to Naples for hand crafted pizza dough. I then source the finest tomatoes and mozzarella cheese for my pizza before travelling on to Tuscany for a rich Chianti. Surely everyone does this on your average Saturday night? You should see the effort I go to for a curry!

Just to add that my address is an extremely straightforward one - it would be very difficult to get the wrong house (although like I say, despite that, I have received other people’s takeaways once or twice before over the course of several years).

You should be miking your own buffalo for that mozzarella, lazy cow.

Lol to some of the replies.

I think I’m most gutted that a neighbour could potentially have stolen my food - it makes me feel a bit less happy about the street where I live Sad

Annoying but not surprising. Look at how many people on threads where op has received something they shouldn't tell them to shut up and keep it.
