Delivery is so late!!!!
It’s a shame because this company has potential. It delivers the stuff everyone wants but whenever I’ve had items missing, the driver has told me to email in. I have never got a refund for any items that have been missing. They ignore emails and calls. Because of this I have been out of pocket, it has got as far as them saying my card will be refunded in 5 days but this has never been the case. Not great and for that reason I wouldn’t recommend.
Ordered 2 meals from kfc through preston lancs franchise on Wednesday , but when the driver turned up one of the meals was wrong, driver said kanas bbq bites meal had discontinued, so gave us plain mini fillets, which the mrs doesnt like, told the driver this, not just that no drink either for her. Why didnt they ring!!!? Told the driver take them back, we dont want them they will be binned, he said keep them , I'll get my boss to refund the meal, couple of days now still no refund, you already pay over the odds for this service but one person still went without, all it took was a phone call to us for suggestion for replacement meal... Edit...provided reference number, still nothing. Typical. Edit..edit.. over a week still not heard nothing!!!!

1) They accept orders when there aren't enough delivery drivers. Deliveroo wont let you order if there's not enough people to deliver your food, so it's clearly possible to track/manage this 2) The tracker doesn't work. The only time I have managed to successfully receive an order, it was marked as 'Delivered' 5 minutes before the guy actually turned up. It was also marked as 'Driver on his way' at the exact same time it was 'delivered'. 3) It takes way too long for me to be told by email that my order was cancelled. I ordered at 16:25, at 17:40 I recieve an emails saying it was cancelled because there's not enough drivers. Why on earth does it take that long? 4) The website doesn't acknowledge when an order is cancelled. Under my 'orders' page the cancelled order I had last week is still showing as if i'm waiting for it to be delivered. The only reason I give this 2* instead of 1* is because I got a refund quickly for the cancelled orders.
I do not use One Delivery anymore as it is too expensive. Customers are hit twice with charges - they apply a premium to the menu food prices and the delivery charge itself. I have no problem with the service from Aylesbury itself; they just need to lower their charges to provide better value.
I have used OneDelivery before, never had an issue and was always happy with the service. understanding there will be about an hours wait for most of the deliveries, i placed an order for a restaurant that is at least fifteen minutes down the road from me. an hour came and went but i had heard nothing about the food or if my order had been accepted apart form a receipt from the purchase. An hour and fifteen minutes in i tried to contact the manager of my area to find out if the food was on the way or if the delivery driver may have gotten lost (this tends to happen a lot where i live). i was unable to call the manager but was successful in messaging his number. After about an hour and thirty minutes, i received a call from the driver in regards to my order. i was advised that it had been a busy night and that Jess was only just now in cue to complete my order at the restaurant. what has made this so bizarre is the fact i had to contact a manager just to see if my food was almost here, only to be informed that it had yet to be ordered which means it would more than likely take another twenty minutes to arrive. Coming up on two hours the food arrived and i was greeted with a smiling face. I had suggested that maybe a call ahead next time would be a bit helpful to inform people about delays. Upon leaving Jess asked me to fill out a review and stated that she was in fact a new driver. Jess lied.... 2 months prior Jess had delivered me the exact same order from the exact same restaurant as stated on a previous confirmation text. all in all i didn't appropriate the excessive waiting times and the fact i had to TEXT a manager about my order because he was unable to answer the call i made to his number i revived on my OneDelivery email receipt. i felt that the money i payed for the delivery was unjustified in this circumstances and i was kept out of the loop on my £32 order for a very long time. For a company that prides itself on being the biggest fast food and restaurant delivery services in the UK, with a sixty minute delivery expectancy, i feel like you have fallen short this time. Thanks OneDelivery
NOTTINGHAM....Ordered at 7:30.....came at 9:15!! NOT Impressed although they got the order right!
one delivery sunderland,Huge mark up on items an example a sundae costs 99p in store these charge 1.99,plus minimum spend of £13 plus 3.50 delivery fee,used it a good few times but delivery started getting later and later,once order placed would be over 30 minutes before any driver accepted it then used to get notification that driver was in restaurant collecting order but would still take over an hour after notification yet the restaurant is 5minutes drive MAX,approaching 2hours for delivery,last straw was missing items from order,they did redeliver the missing items however. However the driver tried to insist that he gave me them when he first delivered,implying that I was lying,word of advice if you want to use them be prepared for long delivery times,and check your order thoroughly before driver leaves
Up until my last delivery, I had no problems with using One Delivery - always arrived on time etc. Last time, the driver was very rude, claiming that he's been standing outside my flat door for 5 minutes. He hadn't rung the door bell (I left instructions on the driver note when I was completing my order, saying what buzzer to press and what door I was) and hadnt rung me on my phone to say he was there. So when another flat mate was walking out the flat, he got in and got to my door and started raging at me! I told him did he not look at the delivery instructions on the app? He then stormed off. Very reluctant to use again.
coventry and rugby area ! order was easy picked asap delivery for a mcds. no time slot was given but recieved a text 45 mins later to say he was on way. checked delivery before handing over cash as read other review horrors. and no shock order was wrong and missing poor guy didnt know what to do tryed to say i had ordered that till i showed him where in order it says large coke ?! and then that mcds had got it wrong as he had handed them the phone. (surely one delivery would check themselves before bringing to me) offered to go get my missing items but not good enough as rest of meal would be cold. so brief call to his boss and offers to take my meal away and get totally fresh ! haha dont believe for one min it will be a whole new fresh meal. will be leaving this company well alone.
I get up with having food missing from my otder
Was good at first couldn't fault them then this time when I order with them I waited fifty minutes for it to come for them to be two items missing I then rang them to be told I have to wait twenty minutes while they do another delivery hope it doesn't happen again
Using the site was fine, easy to work and place the order. I expected to wait around 30 minuets, which is an average waiting time for deliveries. I paid and placed my order and everything was good. An hour and around 15-20 minuets later my order finally arrived. Now I work in a McDonald's in a service station so I am aware of what a good service is and unfortunately this was not. Although the delivery guy apologised for the delays, which can happen, my order wasn't quite up to scratch. There was no straws for the drinks, I had been given the wrong flavoured fruit shoot, and the fries were stone cold. I know that fries can stay warm for around 5-7 minuets so maybe they could do more to try and keep them warmer for longer. Overall, I wasn't really satisfied. And for the money I paid, It just did not reach the mark. Disappointing.
We ordered KFC via One Delivery on 24th April 2017, and the delivery time was supposed to be 12:45. However, we waited for about extra 50 mins to get the food. The operator was able to notify me about the dispatch of the delivery (although the time she called was around the estimation of food delivery time (12:45). I got texts/e-mails about who is delivering our food and the tracking of the delivery driver, which was good. However, the delivery was not made until we called the operator to make a complaint. Thus, we ended up waiting for 50 mins more. We checked the order immediately and noticed a mistake in the order. Fortunately, the driver was still around, so we asked to bring the missing order to us later. We do not know whether it's KFC's mistake or the delivery driver, but the latter was helpful enough to go back there to get the missing order. The food was still warm when we got and the operator and the driver seemed nice, but as a whole experience, it was not very good. Moreover, One Delivery knew my mobile phone number although I had never put in on the website -mystery and a bit scary. I would not think I will order via One Delivery anymore even if I had a sudden KFC crave.
Ordered a burger king through one delivery - never done it before and thought we would try it out. Never again! Waited 2 & half hours for the food, when it arrived it was stone cold and half the order was missing. It would have been easier for me to put my shoes and coat on and gone myself and I wouldn't have had to pay £4 delivery.
