Poor Customer Service at Uber I had a just started a promotion for free Uber One for 4 months to get free delivery. Then at the same time they had promotions going on for a month for buy on get one free on some items at some restuarants, and then they had a few: spend $25 save 40% up to the first $15. So, I was looking forward to buying a lot for a few months to try it out. I placed an order at Harold's Chicken Shack, and there was a delivery charge of $5.50. Any delivery over $5 is not free with Uber one. Then I saw that there was another location of Harold's Chicken Shack, and this had free delivery, I think, it didn't say if there was a charge for delivery. I had just placed the order and I thought I could cancel and reorder from the other location. I tried to find where to cancel and I clicked on a link that led to a chat with a robot. A lot of text was spewed so fast I couldn't read, then I clicked on Cancel Order, then it said I was just charged $18.50. I didn't know there was a big fine for cancelling an order, I didn't see the message, and I was rushing to cancel before the resturaunt started the order. I clicked that the problem was not resolved, and then waited for a "human" agent for ten minutes. The agent was responding by just clicking on prewritten messages saying he refused to give a refund. I said I would go to my bank and block this charge, and write negative reviews, and I was cancelling my membership. He said he had offered the best possible solution. I said "paying $18 for nothing is the best possible solution?" That didn't make sense and he was gone. Then I clicked on Problem not Resolved again and got another agent and re-explained the situation. He made many of the same prewritten comments, saying the problem was on my end. Then he conferred with his staff. He offered me $1o in Uber Cash. I said that's no good because I'm cancelling. Finally after twenty minutes of complaining he gave me the refund. My getting the refund was random chance, it doesn't mean they are nice, they could have gone either way. They think my $18 belongs to them because I clicked by accident. If they had just clicked "refund" from the beginning I would still be a member. Now I know never to try to cancel an order once placed, I've learned that lesson, but it's too late because I am done with Uber for good. They ruined my shopping experience. I would never order from Uber Eats again because there are other delivery companies. You might think you are supporting workers by ordering from them, until those workers are replaced by machines, and the customer service can also be replaced by machines, because they don't need humans to click on prewritten messages.
