Just Eat, But At What Price?

Right, ordered direct from the shop = No delivery charged

Ordered from Just eat = £1.99 delivery charge and 50p for what ever. I never said or implied £2.50 as a set delivery charge.

If she was pulling my leg why state on their menu NO DELIVERY CHARGE ON ORDERS OVER £10.00

Imagine such a fool who is  willing to pay up to 25%  more for something, than they need to, as it happens with my meal was over the £10.00 but it still works out to around 18% - There is a saying "Penny wise Pound foolish 

That still doesn't mean it's Just-Eat who set the charge, the shop have control over that... if there's a "no charge over £10" - and that's not working, then yes - Just eat need to fix the website so it does work, but they don't set the charge....

if the shop decides to offer no delivery charge via their own website, then that's up to them - but since Just-Eat charge the shops a % for every order, some add a delivery charge on just-eat to cover those costs (so they still make the same amount, or more than if was via them directly)

I have seen how the Just-Eat system works in a shop...



BTW, Just-Eat have a price-promise thing ( see: https://www.just-eat.co.uk/pricepromise ) 

if your order from Just Eat is advertised by the restaurant for less on its own website then we’ll send you double the difference in the form of a Just Eat voucher.

What I was going to say, I'd prefer to pay the takeaway direct, but like most people nowadays I very rarely have cash on me so I resort to Just eat and others, but this has woken me up, cash in my wallet from now on, Just in case I fancy a takeaway.

I stated in my first post that the takeaway was 5 star, that is the food hygiene rating from the App " scores on the doors" I will not order a takeaway without referring to this App first.

because you still paid the extra 2 quid charge right?

 

The charge isn't set by Just Eat, it's set by the take away place as literally everyone else has told you already.

???? The food on Just eat was £14.75, the food on the menu was £14.75. I paid cash and paid £14.75. If I'd have ordered from Just eat it would of been £17.24 - I don't know what you mean by paying £2.00 extra?????

I can only go on what I was told, If the shop did set the delivery charge on Just eat thinking were all too drunk to notice then there making a very big mistake. I was told It has nothing to do with them.

Jesus you are a penny pinching miser.  What part don't you understand?

 

There's a 50p service charge on Just Eat

The restaurant CHOSE to charge a £1.99 delivery fee, regardless of what you spent.

 

What part of this do you find difficult to understand??

Just Eat, a "middle man"? So you order food via them but don't know where it will be coming from?  Why would you do that?

A travel agent is just a "middle man" between hotel or airline and customer

 

An estate agent is just a "middle man" between seller and potential purchaser.

 

A comparison website is just a "middle man" between insurer and policyholder.

 

Should be running scared from those organisations too because we allegedly dont know where the product is coming from?   

 

Its pretty obvious that you CHOOSE the restaurant and CHOOSE the food you want to order through just eat which is nothing more than a convenient service which allows for digital order processing and electronic payments to a range of small take away businesses whom otherwise would not have offered it.

Maybe this is good time to remind people that listings on price comparison sites are paid for by the companies being advertised.
