Customers can claim a refund if their order wasn’t right – if it had missing items, if items were cold or damaged, or if the order was extremely late.
When a refund is given, either you or Deliveroo will cover the cost, depending on what went wrong - see below.
We have robust measures in place to detect and prevent customer fraud. Where we suspect customers may be submitting fraudulent claims, refunds are not given.
Where can I find more details about my refunds?
To learn more about your refunds, simply head to the Sales section in Hub to find your refund report.
Here, you can see a list of the refunded Deliveroo orders assigned to you for selected sites over a time period of your choosing.
Your Hub 'Sales' tab (‘Refunds’) gives you more details about refund requests you've received, including pending ones, refunds given, and rejected refunds.
We’ll also send you a daily email (arriving at midnight), if there have been one or more customer refunds over the last day.
How could I dispute a refund?
To dispute a refund, click on the order number, select the refunded items you would like to dispute and add the reasoning. Once done, you can submit the dispute and track its status in the ‘Refund disputes’ tab. Learn more here. You can dispute a refund up to 7 days from the refund issue date.
You can see details for any refunds and approved disputes in your Payment Statement, which you can download from Hub, in ‘Invoices’.
