Grubhub delivery never arrived?
Practical steps for a missing Grubhub delivery: check the details, contact the right support team, and document what happens next.
Check what happened before reporting theft
Check order status, delivery instructions, any contact attempts and the designated drop-off area.
Search any delivery photos and messages for clues about a different drop-off location. If you live in a multi-unit building, check the package room or front desk. If the order may have been delivered to someone else's home, avoid confronting anyone or exposing their identity.
A missing order may be a delivery error, a delayed status update, a misplaced item, or theft. Keep the description neutral until the facts are known.
How to report a missing Grubhub delivery
Use Grubhub customer support for the specific order.
- Open the order or shipment details and confirm the reference number and delivery date.
- Follow the official support route to describe the item or order that did not arrive.
- Explain what you checked and attach any requested evidence using the provider's own secure system.
- Save the case number, chat transcript or email response and the date you contacted support.
Help options and eligibility can vary by order type and may change. Confirm the latest steps with Grubhub Help.
What to keep in your personal case file
Purchase confirmation, amount paid, item description and expected arrival.
Tracking status, time, delivery photo and saved instructions.
When you noticed the issue and the places you checked.
Case ID, refund or replacement status, and any follow-up needed.
Cover personal account numbers, payment information and third-party identities before uploading screenshots to any separate service.
What if the company cannot resolve it?
Ask for the reason behind the decision and whether another review is available. If you paid for an order and a refund is disputed, review your payment provider's dispute process and its deadlines. A chargeback is not appropriate for every situation, so provide accurate facts and avoid duplicate recovery requests.
If there is credible evidence that property was stolen, consider contacting the relevant law enforcement authority. A private ReportPlot entry is not a formal police complaint, a retailer claim, or a guarantee that an investigation will begin.
