Uber eats delivering to wrong address

[Deleted User]

It'll be the stupid address system that UberEats use that seems to change your address based on GPS location or something. Happened to me once where I didn't notice until after the food had been delivered to me that they had my address as a different number at the street opposite. It only got delivered to me as the people who live there know me and redirected the delivery guy. Even though my correct address is set in my UberEats account.

Thank you all.

I have a call into the Hotel so hopefully they can give me some information. I have a sign to print up and put in the window of the door so hopefully that will stop any late night deliveries.

Uber appear to have washed their hands of it, no surprise there. But I will persist and try and get them to look at their address system.

Of course there is the other option. You have upset someone & this is their way of getting back at you.

By sending them free food? 

I wish I had an enemy like that.

At 3 a.m. in the morning? Not quite such a welcome gift, unless you were waiting up to be carried away on a moonlight shadow!

If it’s free, I’d be fine with it. Regardless of what time it arrives.

I agree with you!  If somebody is doing this to get back at the OP in some way, then they must be particularly thick!

(Maybe they've nicked the OP's credit card and know his PIN etc, but why risk tipping him off by sending food to him?  Surely you'd send the food to 100s of random people?)

I can definitely assure you that my CC details haven't been stolen  My account hasn't been hacked either. I think its down to incompetence by the person ordering the food or Ubers systems. Either way im now starting to keep the food when it arrives and if it can be sent to a food bank that's where im taking it.

All joking aside, I'd be really annoyed if this was happening to me!

As a self-confessed "app"-phobe, I have absolutely no idea how Uber eats works (are they local franchises?), but don't they have some presence whereby you can formally contact them and alert them to what is happening and tell them to stop immediately - otherwise you'll take further action?

I have no idea what that further action would be - short of getting a court injunction to stop them delivering meals to you but I suppose that might be overkill and would certainly be costly for you.

Ive rung Uber and have contacted them on Twitter. They are now refusing to answer my concerns. Apparently they will only deal with the customer and that's not me !!
