If your UberEats delivery takes too long, you should first use the app to track the order. You can also find the courier's phone number and ask about the order. If the app says that the delivery should have arrived, you should report the issue to UberEats and ask for a refund.
Can I Get a Refund If UberEats Takes Too Long?
UberEats is an application that delivers food to your door from your favorite restaurant. You can receive an UberEats delivery no matter where you are as long as the app is available.
UberEats does try and make deliveries as efficient and as prompt as possible but there are times where deliveries may take too long. There are varying reasons why your UberEats delivery is taking too long.
Examples of reasons why your order may be taking long is if the restaurant is unusually busy, if you place a very large order, if there is a lot of traffic and if there are bad weather conditions.
