I had an email from Uber Eats tonight with 50% off, so I ordered two chicken burritos for myself and my wife.

However, when we were unpacking the bag we had:

2x Chicken Burritos

AND
3x portions of Curly Fries
2x portions of Plantains
1x beef burger
1x portion of BBQ Chicken wings.
1x can of diet coke

An absolute feast!

As we were hungry and we did get the actual food we ordered, we ended up eating most of it.

The thought occurred of course to let Uber eats know, but it was delivered on a pedal bike and it would have been stone cold by the time they did get it to the correct person.

So, has it ever happened to anybody else where you got a meal better than you ordered and decided to keep it?

Probably doesn't matter even if it was delivered in a car, I doubt they're allowed to take back any food they've incorrectly delivered.

I've had someone attempt to deliver an uber eats to me (that I didn't order) the other day, though unfortunately I've not yet lucked out on getting bonus food alongside an order.

Had this happen before, contacted Uber Eats and they refunded the whole order. Driver didn't come back to collect it either.
 
It happened to me on Thursday. Took my delivery from Deliveroo only to open the box and discover it wasn't my order (none of mine was delivered) The guy had already driven off by the time I opened the door so called them and got a new delivery of what I actually ordered.

I'm gluten free so I did try to offer the incorrect stuff to my neighbour but they weren't home. I popped it in the fridge thinking maybe my mum might pop by the next day and want it. She didnt but the pizza smelt so good that the box accidentally flew open and fell into my mouth :o
 
I guess they are supposed to check the receipt when they get to the restaurant? Someone has scribbled 'Uber' on top.

I'm guessing he glanced at the first line which does say 2 chicken burritos and thought that must be it.
 
Never had the wrong takeaway delivery before (as in, some other poor buggers food), I did once get a bunch of extra stuff on a Tesco order though.

I think my initial order came in at around £90 total, and everything I'd ordered was present, as was a 1 liter bottle of gin, about 3lb of scotch burger meat, two large frozen pizzas, and a large box/crate of coca cola cans. I didn't personally put the order in, I was just the one who was in when it was delivered, so I didn't realise until the next day.

Guessing a crate of someone else's shopping got mixed in with my own.
 
I once received a huge quantity of kebab meat as well as what I'd actually ordered. Shame I can't stand the stuff. The dog on the other hand loved it.
 
Not by delivery, but had it a few times in coffee shops.

Big queue in Starbucks, order a certain coffee with my shortened name, they call out the coffee and name so I pick it up and sit down, 10 seconds later hear the waitress apologise to another bloke as I've just helped myself to his coffee and he'll have to wait. Felt guilty for about half a second.

Other time in mcdonalds drive throughs, after waiting about 10 mins for an order in one of the bays my friend complains, gets our order and then 2 mins later they bring another order out, returned that one.

Other time was waiting for nearly 20 mins as they were looking for a red car, mine is half and half so they could only see the grey upper half and hence never delivered my food. They got the order wrong anyway.
 
******, i'm starving now.


edit : I was being polite, since when has one who tosses something in the air fell foul of the forum ?

Next time i'll say ****er
 
I've had this before but the order I got was far worse and was cold.

They've obviously just picked up the wrong order at the store in a rush. The store is likely to blame as well.

Worryingly, if this happens more than once there are lots of reviews of ubereats where they start accusing you of lying and refuse to refund you.
