To be getting really pissed off with this

Someone keeps ordering deliveroo food to this house. We haven’t ordered anything and don’t use Deliveroo. It’s been happening every day for the past few weeks, sometimes multiple times a day. I’m starting to get really annoyed. If we are not in/don’t answer the door then the deliveroo driver just leaves it outside right outside in front of the door. Sometimes multiple bags as the orders have been that big. Someone is obviously doing it to us but no idea who. The drivers can’t tell us the phone number of the Deliveroo account that is making these orders due to data protection, I have asked them multiple times when they knock on the door. What do I do? Aibu to be getting really pissed off with this?

This makes no sense as deliveroo requires a code when you order to ensure its the right place.

Theunamedcat · 25/02/2023 17:11

Is it stuff you can use?

purplemunkey · 25/02/2023 17:12

Have you tried speaking to Deliveroo directly? I doubt the drivers could tell you much even if they wanted to.

I’d be eating it

I know. They once ‘messaged’ the person on their app who has placed the order and he just gave the driver the code and then the driver just told me “now he’s messaged me the code I’ll just leave this here as I need to complete other orders to make a living”.

So someone is paying for this, and you have no idea who?

fairgame84 · 25/02/2023 17:13

Is it paid for or are you expected to pay on delivery?

JizzlordTheCat · 25/02/2023 17:13

Deliveroo requires payment on ordering. Whoever is doing this, it must be costing them a fortune.

SunshineAndFizz · 25/02/2023 17:13

Haha just eat it if they're paying 😂

This!

Sunshinealldayandnow · 25/02/2023 17:14

It’s paid for on ordering so we’ve not had to pay

Have you checked all your bank accounts to make sure you aren't the ones paying?
If you aren't being charged then more fool whoever is doing this - they must have plenty of money to spare.
Then either way the food, chuck the food or offer it on community groups.

So what's the issue? Just freeze it if it's not what you want or bin it

PleasantZen · 25/02/2023 17:14

Are you eating it?

SpinningFloppa · 25/02/2023 17:15

If it’s free I would be eating it! Deliveroo you have to pay before ordering. Oh and they don’t always ask for a code I’ve only been asked once or twice

Oohhhh · 25/02/2023 17:15

Someone's ordering a load of food and paying for it? That's insane! Stalkerish actually.

Needmorelego · 25/02/2023 17:15

Are the orders in your name?

It doesn't always

Free food what’s the problem?

honeylulu · 25/02/2023 17:16

What happens to the food? Do you leave it outside and someone picks it up? (I've seen a thread on here where ops house was next to a park and people in the park would use her address to get deliveries and then intercept them on the drive. ) I'd take the food inside and shut the door, then see what happens. If someone turns up you can tell them to stop. If they keep doing it you can refuse to hand it over/not answer the door. That should get the message across.

monomatapea · 25/02/2023 17:16

Really weird. Have you upset anyone recently?

ComfortablyDazed · 25/02/2023 17:17

I mean, annoying - but I can think of worse ways to be pranked…..

monomatapea · 25/02/2023 17:17

Do you have a hostile ex

Babyroobs · 25/02/2023 17:18

maybe they think you are hard up or something and trying to secretly provide you with food parcels !
