“My boyfriend and I ordered food from skip so many times and 90% of the time, the order was wrong, items were missing, it took over 2hours instead of 30mins (amount it showed on the app), more than one driver to get the order as they kept bailing each time and it is the absolute worst. Customer service wasn't helpful either trying to make sure that we got our food. Really bad service. Don't order. Don't waste your time with this app, they seriously don't know how to do their jobs.”

“DO NOT USE INTERAC EMAIL TRANSFER WITH SKIP THE DISHES, YOU WILL GET RIPPED OFF, AND YOU WILL NOT GET YOUR MONEY BACK. This has happened 2 times to me now, 1 order of $38 and 1 order of $49 – Close to $100, robbed from me, with no resolution. When you do an interac transaction, you CANNOT CLOSE THE LAST PAYMENT WINDOW or you lose your money completely - so if you time out, your internet goes down, you accidently close the window, click another link, on a screen that says YOUR PAYMENT IS COMPLETE, well you are frigged, because your payment is complete, that doesn't mean your order has gone to skip, and in fact, it still hasn't. Here is what Skip the Dishes is doing: They don’t process your order until they have been paid. SO, if you pay, and ANYTHING complicated your browser, or closes it, or any computer problems for the next few clicks AFTER you have paid, you will lose your money and SKIP will not process your order. So yes, you pay and don’t even get an order number to verify that you have paid. It’s insanely flawed, dated, and unfortunately, SKIPS support literally doesn’t care to fix this BUG that is really screwing quite a few people over daily and clogging gup the support. - The issue is, this isn’t credit card, there is no consumer protection, my bank wont reverse the charges - SKIPS support says this exact phrase “this is a preauthorization, and it will be returned to your bank in 3-5 business days) - unfortunately, as this happened almost 2 months ago, and 7 business days ago, well, that is factually incorrect. ***** Please note this is where the problem is - The SKIP team says "preauth" - pre auth requires some sort of authorization to tell the payment provider, hey this worked, or hey this didnt work - WELL, it seems this interact payment page is using the consumer to click the authorization - if that button isn't clicked, there is nothing confirming, nor denying the payment, although its already taken from your account - so poof, the money is "lost" in preauth because there is nothing to tell it no food was sent, or the transaction didnt reach skip - so now you are stuck paying, with no receipt. Cool eh - Support 100% fails to acknowledge anything, and most of the time refers to it as a credit card, which is again, completely incorrect. They just really don’t care, yet there is nobody to escalate the problem to So essentially what is a BUG in SKIPS interac payment process, I am out nearly $100 and I know I am not the only one. Yet, there is nobody who actually knows what happened, and their stock responses just go in circles, I have been lost in support for hours, multiple times, multiple people. I just want the money back that i litrerally paid for nothing. But there is nobody to talk to, and they keep saying call your bank, who is saying they wont do anything. I literally have banks statements showing I have been charged for food that never was processed or came through the skip app. What can I possibly do? $100 is worth a lot to me.”

“Messed up my order on 3 different occasions and never take any responsibility. This is the last straw. They say food was delivered. But it was not. Doorbell never rang. Refuse to reimburse me.”

“Skip ordering from "Skip the Dishes "... their customer service has no intention of resolving issues and I have no interest in receiving $5.00 of credits towards next purchase, because I will never use this service again.”

“(English is not my first language, so sorry for my errors. ) They have an awful service, and it's impossible to talk to someone when we have a problem. From what I saw, the chat support is supposed to be real people, but they sound just like bots. Always repeating the same lines and not answering questions. I ordered from Subway, and 2 hours later, they can't tell me what is happening, and if i'll ever get my food. They just paste the same text telling me that I can cancel the order and get a refund, or get some skip credit when the order will arrive (but is was so late that the subway was closed)...”

“SIMPLY CHEATERS & FRAUD .....Dont go anywhere near them because in the wake of COVID they are filling their pockets with cash ...They would charge ur credit card then make a clumsy way to refuse to deliver ur food ...something like u were unreachable so ur food & money both gone .....I fell victim to their agenda & lost it. I awaited order for hours & when approached them simply deny ...i wonder how they are operational in Canada with this cheating...nobody holding them accountable ...but i will do my best to get my hard earned money by raising a fraud scam case with RCMP online ....I request all other victims in Canada to do it also to stop them ripping of people money ...if all u feel temptation for an order ..do it with some trustable sources like UBER EATS . 1)i placed order with clear instruction that i had no phone & gave my front door key pass & room number to be left at door 2) when i found no order for 1 hour . ireached your online reps at ski p the dishes .i told them situation and both said order was not delivered bec i was not reachable on phone whereas i clearly told them . One rep said u didnt give room no denying your own receipt issued by skip dishes. when i asked them for redelivery or refund they said ur money is gone .(Gone ) & no refunds 3) i was assured supervisor call but received no call so far 4) I had no choice except to visit the lousiana popyees at 267 College street & manager said they could do anything .skip dishes is responsible 5) If you guys dont refund the order amount which i never received with in a day will report the matter to RCMP/Police as fraud and let them decide i if i deserve refund or not ---------------------- Ahmad Rabb Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen Delivery • #185070167 01 Number of Plastic Cutlery $0.00 01 Wings Combo (5 pcs) $12.49 • Ghost Pepper • Coleslaw (260 Cals) • Buttermilk Ranch (150 Cals) • Nestea Iced Tea "Room number 19 .

“The app didn't work properly and was stuck on Confirming order forever. I tried cancelling and reordering but that was rejected. Meanwhile, my order had been delivered and was sitting at my front door. I wasn't notified that it was on route or delivered. Needless to say the food was cold. After talking to 3 of their CSRI I was told it was my computer. Thanks for nothing.”

“This is the worst place to order from if they got your order wrong they won't come back and give you what's missing they will lie to you tell you that you didn't get that on your order even if you send them a picture of the receipt that it says that you should have got that they just plain Liars yes you Julia and they don't care about their customers I would rate this no stars if it was possible skipthedishes it's just not as they used to be I don't know if they're Under New Management but they actually suck and it's not the first time it happens quite often if the restaurant forgot something and skip the dishes delivered your order skip the dishes is the one responsible to get the item that they forgot the worst part is that they try to lie saying that I didn't order that but then i called the restaurant and they're willing to deliver it them self the missing item so I will start ordering from the actual restaurants nowadays end less on skip the dishes”

“It is the worst company work with , first couple days very good and recommend for friends, and you get reasonable trip , after couple days I got trip pick up far 6 k and deliver from the location to drop off 5 more k I had to decline in it the offers was $7.50 . And they keep offering me same destination. Also I got a pick up trip out side my city also was too far for $6.5 , for the driving time and pick and drop off time it may take more than 35 minutes. Pay gas and car expenses will remain less than $4 . I don’t blame the company I do blame the government let greedy , wiled company come to suck people blood. By the way if keep rejecting trip your rates go down than the system stop giving you trip . So the system made make you work like slave .also i have trip never get paid for it was driving 10k . Almost a week so far I never get paid for it , every time I contact the customer support, they tell me the e mail not associated with your profile, just to make excuses. I would never do order from skip because I don’t support greedy company”

“CAUTIOUS, Both, My wife and my credit cards info was compromised, used for fraud and charged more than once within a purchase. It happened to my wife twice, so my advice would be to use a prepaid credit card.”

“It's the drivers, it's always the drivers! You need to hire better ones, for starters and if you can't then you need to explain it's important not to drive around the city with the order. This has happened more times than it should. We have had so many problems with skip and it's always the drivers. Last time we ordered our order was forgotten... to the point where the restaurant called us and said no one had picked up the order. They just forgot about it! This time a guy had the pizza order for half an hour, driving around in circles and getting further from our place. Skip refunded the order but hubby is starving. I wish restaurants wouldn't force you to order from Skip... It's terrible!”

“My driver was incredibly rude. Im staying in a hotel and watched my phone for the driver. It said it was almost there so I waited in the lobby downstairs. Eventually, I noticed a car outside with someone standing outside it. As soon as I walked in he asked if I was there for skip and started to yell at me about how he's been calling and texting me. I showed him that I recieved no calls or texts. He continued to be angry and tried to show me the number which was not my number. So he said that I must have had a secret number. Are you kidding me? I was livid by the end of it as he kept saying that he put me in as a no show. I told him that, rather than staying at his vehicle, he could have gone to the front desk and just say my name. I want my tip back. He was beyond entitled and rude. Im doing door dash from now on.”

“This Company Skip the Dishes, likes to blame there short comings on their customers, I had a horrible time on June 6th 2020. I had emailed them with my complaints about that night , they have responded by blaming me. Wow I have the pictures to prove this on there do called chat , and email. It started with our first order not being delivered, then after I got credit for food we never received, we tried once more asking for McDonalds . Now I'm clearly being blamed as their company took over a week to answer my concerns. Both McDonalds and Skip the dishes just pass the blame back and forth , until they told me I wasn't going to be refunded for their Disgusting service. Both places to be exact. Now their blaming me, ? Wow if you need food please do not order from either , as your food will be cold and taste gross , missing items and all . I suggest that you find a restaurant that delivers directly ! This is the biggest scam ever middle manning delivery for places , shame on Skip the Dishes and McDonalds.”

“Can't give zero stars, wish I could give negative stars. Don't use this service, they have no quality control over their drivers and customer service is horrible. I ordered food on Saturday 13 June 2020. At delivery time I got a call from "delivery driver' saying they were downstairs at the front door of my condo building, but the outside doors were locked and they couldn't access the entry intercom to punch in provided ring code. I said I would be right down. When I got to front door, no driver and the outside door was not locked. Tried calling back to the number that the driver called from, and it's a Skip the Dishes number that does not take incoming calls. I contacted their support chat and it took them a long time to look up my order details, when they finally did they referred to the office responsible, then eventually said they could not contact the driver, then said they gave me a CREDIT with them to reorder! I insisted on a credit card refund. They eventually said they processed the credit card refund, but I still need to confirm that. I asked that they forward my complaint to management, but I have heard nothing back. Clearly, as a minimum, Skip the Dishes has no quality control on their drivers, and I assume no checks of any sort are done. While I'm really glad that I EVENTUALLY (and presumably) got my money refunded what I really wanted was food! All this took over an hour. After this horrible experience, I ordered from the same restaurant using Uber Eats, and had my order delivered to the door of my condo within 30 minutes. Since my experience I have checked and seen many similar complaints online. RECOMMEND YOU AVOID SKIP THE DISHES!!”
