What Do I Do If My DoorDash Delivery Is Late?
In a nutshell: Is your DoorDash order running late? While Dashers work hard to deliver orders as quickly as possible, delays can happen too. The restaurant may be experiencing a high volume of orders, and heavy traffic can slow down deliveries. A delayed food delivery can be frustrating, especially when you're hungry, but don't worry, because you can report the issue to DoorDash. Before reaching out, though, check whether the restaurant handles its own deliveries. If it does, you'll need to contact the restaurant directly. If your order is being delivered by a Dasher, continue reading for instructions on how to report it.
