Neighbour stole my Deliveroo order

[Dongdingdong]

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?

OP, your neighbours are greedy deckers. They probably load up your dustbin as well.

Put it on Facebook or Twitter , the company will pick it up quick enou!

I remember our doorbell ringing in the early hours of a Sunday morning. We are middle aged, fairly boring and rarely see such times of the day, so we definitely hadn't ordered pizza. Even my sleep adventures haven't quite gone that far yet 😂 Delivery driver took quite a lot of convincing. DP is a bit of a pizza monster so the driver was probably lucky he was half asleep.

I'd be careful of ordering through ubereats too. We've ordered three times with the them and every time they mess up
The first one half the food was missing, the second time the took out double the money and the third they took out the money and put a hold on the same amount and it was in the pending transaction bit on the account for a week after. Never using them again

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?

Depends on your circumstances - I f it were tipping down with rain, i'd get a delivery and give the teen a fat tip, as I always do for delivery drivers.

I’m a live in nanny and twice in my last job I’ve taken in food delivery only to have my employers come home shortly afterwards to say they didn’t order anything! It was Indian food both times, no restaurant name or recipients names on the receipt so couldn’t do anything but eat it! It would have been a complete waste to through it out.

Now if I haven’t ordered anything, I ask the delivery driver the name and address of recipient before taking it in.

Maybe something similar happened with one of your neighbours?

My employers did text closest neighbours to see if it was theirs, no similarly named roads nearby to ask.

Happens with us a lot. Due to us been The Road and the nearby streets being called Roadsyde and Roadcrest, (NC the streets just in case) the equivelant house number often get sent our food despite always making a note on just eat that we are the bungalows. Last time the thieves in one particular house took our takeaway after a new delivery driver gor duped. We were told it had been delivered and at first they woulsnt refund until we asked what house they had delivered too and they said a two up two down they realises it dwdo wasnt ours. Qe also pointed out we ha e cctv ans there was no sugn of takeaway at all. Turns out they also order from the same place so the owner chargwd their credit card foe the food they took. They were not too happy. We got a replacement meal and money off our next order.

I have had two deliveroo orders to my door in the past two weeks, which I didn't order. I did hand them back though

We share a driveway and it doesn't matter how many times I tell people not to go to the first house, they do. Human nature I guess, but don't leave it too late to follow up with the company concerned. Their problem, not yours. Pleased to hear you received a refund.

Seven years ago I got caught for speeding but the letter went to two other streets with the same name before making it to me...by then the summons was too late and I got done for failing to answer the summons. Dvla then apparently sent a letter asking for my paper licence, I never even received this letter. Found out last week I had been driving around for seven years while my licence was revoked. Two days ago there was a knock at the door but by the time I got there all I could see was a large builders merchant lorry which I thought was for my neighbour who is having some work done. Later when I went outside I discovered two enormous bags of sand on my drive...I had to climb over them to get in the car....and yes they were for one of the other roads...
