Uber eats fraud
Item in Uber eats is $14.54/lb Item in real life is $12.99/lb Got totally fucked on this delivery wtf
They upcharge based on how busy it is very similarly to surge charging
Thats how it works. Same with Instacart.
And DoorDash
Go shopping yourself and this won't be an issue.
That's not fraud. That's a markup. Any 3rd party food delivery service will mark up the items in order to make a profit. I went to Costco myself and bought $200 of stuff. I went home and added the exact same items to an Instacart order. It was $300 including tip. Suddenly I don't mind going to Costco.
Going to Costco sounds terrible. Easily worth 100 to save your time and hassle
Just don't go on the weekend and it's fine.
This has been true since day 1. Every item is marked up, then you pay service fees, then you pay delivery fees, then you tip. And you pay extra tax on all mandatory fees.
That's not fraud. Delivery services charge a fee for their services. It's a business
Masking it under the price of the items is deceptive and fraud imo Basically like going to the dealership and them selling you a car over msrp without your knowledge
Nothing is masked. You see the price before you buy no? Dealerships absolutely sell cars well over their msrp. It's not fraud either lol. You see the price before you buy. Amazon and target are fraudulent too under your definition lol.
Not even organic. And itâs made of soy oil!
Oh you sweet summer child.
Hah glad to see I'm not the only person who uses this phrase
How did you not know? Thatâs how Uber Eats and Instacart and Shipt make money. Itâs very rare to find an item that isnât marked up for groceries or food. $2 per pound is a pretty normal markup for online groceries or deli items. I donât know why people are willing to pay those premiums but I hoped that people understood they existed.
Right thatâs my issue lol they donât post it anywhere I was under the assumption that I was purchasing the items for the normal price then the additional fees at the end + tip paid for the drivers service. They also purposely donât give you the receipt so you donât find out that the prices are marked up unless you get a deli item or something. If there was some sort of notice that the prices were marked up I wouldnât have made this thread
You can easily see on a restaurant as well, look at their actual menu then look on Door dash/Uber Eats. This is wild that you didn't know about this lmao
Restaurant marked up the price bcs Uber take cut from them, I dont see anything strange with that
What restaurant? Says Farmer's Market on the label.
In theory itâs fine but I feel like the customer should be made aware that the price is marked up
