Thanks, that is great to know. Odd that the company would have delivery on their own website and then the shops would use a 3rd party. I guess I should not have refused the shop. I wonder if they can do something to get it back for me, given that these delivery shops never seem to get taken.@luckygirl0100 wrote:
Every time I've done this shop it's been Doordash. I've done about 6 of them, for 3 different burger locations.
Thanks but I'm interested in doing it because I wouldn't have to leave my house. I do remember doing a delivery shop for a local wing chain many years ago and having it delivered to my daughter's office because it was within the delivery zone but my office and house were not.@HonnyBrown wrote:
In my area, it's Door Dash. A shopper had an idea to have the food delivered to a nearby business if they won't deliver to your house.

Probably not if you cancel quickly after self-assigning. Now, if it's a last minute "make an offer" or otherwise bonused shop nearing a deadline, maybe it's different.

What do you mean you got "dinged"? I have never had one single repercussion in 20 years of shopping for them, no matter rescheduling or cancellations.
I was "cancelled" once because the algorithm showed 4 cancellations in a year and all of them were for major snowstorms that state emergency was declared. I actually had the help desk and a scheduler look into what was going on and I got reinstated. And I had the silly certificate then of the more than 1000 shops, with no mistakes or anything else.@JASFLALMT wrote:

So were locations B and C not available to take? In my area they seem to go wanting. I wonder if it's because people don't realize, like me, that the delivery area is not what their website says.@KokoBWare wrote:
I didn't really have a place to have the order delivered within the Location A zone, as my workplace is well outside the delivery area and I don't really know anyone socially in that neighborhood. I guess I could have had it delivered to my drugstore or something and raced the delivery guy there but no. Had to cancel.
I think it's much more likely that the error occurred when the restaurant manually entered it in their system after receiving it from DD. There's no reason why Doordash would have to manually retype your order, not to mention that it would lead to delays getting it to the restaurant.@junk1958 wrote:
One thing to note. When you order through Door Dash, you place the order on the Door Dash website. Then someone manually edits your order and sends it to the client for fulfillment. How do I know this? Because I have an unusual name and although I spelled it correctly on my end, the slip I received from the client had my name misspelled. Also, instead of giving me extra tomatoes, as I had request on the same order, the packing slip with my order said "No Tomatoes." Not sure how it works with Grub Hub, etc.
My location only has one job posted. Another one in the area shows two shops, maybe they have two delivery companies, but they do not deliver to me (too far).@fiddlels wrote:
There are always 2 choices of delivery companies in these shops.
