"According to a report using these third party people can be up to 44% more expensive than dealing direct with the food supplier.. that's pretty much Toms experience.. he only orders from takeaways with their own drivers.. Nobody likes a ripoff " But is it 44% easier ordering through the app than calling direct and getting the wrong order delivered? | |||

"My deliveroo order arrived late and cold. When I rang the restaurant they said it was nothing to do with them but deliveroo.. " They would say that wouldn't they. You can track the order to see when it leaves. That makes it easy to see who's fault it is when it comes in late and then then you can complain to the right people. Personally I've had loads of late, cold food through normal deliveries too. | |||

"And my local chippy sells cod and chips for about 7 quid. Order on Uber it's 12 quid but apparently it's free delivery or delivery for a pound.." Does the chippy offer an app for ordering, and an online menu? Does it offer order tracking? Do you expect the Uber / Deliveroo service for free? If you don't like it, don't pay for it simple. Personally for the price of a beer, I'm happy with what they offer. | |||

"Just eat has free delivery So how do they make any money?" They charge 10%of the order and a sign up fee (for the restaurant). They also take money to place the restaurant nearer the top of the list. It's completely down to the restaurant how much they charge you. So if the prices are the same, thats because the restaurant is taking less money. Some restaurants charge more than the 10% for taking orders from them, so 'they' actually make more profit. I believe Deliveroo is the same. | |||

"Nora’s experience is I live in the sticks and we don’t even have Uber taxis never mind Uber eats . So not fair. " Bummer. Experience here is living within five minutes of about a bazillion takeaways (Brum's Balti triangle) so whatever is ordered, it arrives in minutes and hot. Lots of good reasons not to want to live in a city but delivery grub is not one | |||

"This is actually true..... my daughter and I got kfc a couple of weeks ago on Uber eats it was £26 something but we drove and paid £18..... that’s an extra zinger meal.........." Factoring the petrol costs how much did you actually save? Although we tend to opt for the boneless bucket XL … I do love a zinger meal | |||

"We only order when there is a discount or promotion. Always get sent an 50% off email to try and hook us in." They keep sending me stuff llike that. Pretty pointless when they dont offer anyone to deliver in the first place 50% off a blank page, thanks | |||
