Shef - Their chat team is incompetent

I placed or that was suppose to be delivered yesterday(Sunday) 8-10AM. I waited and contacted customer service and they said they had to move the delivery to 4:30PM and they will issue refunds as well.

I kept chatting with them all day (till 9PM). I saw around 5PM that tracking info shows delivery cancelled.

I contacted and another chat rep said its cancelled and cannot be delivered. I have to place a new order and I We waited all day for food and in my last message was to have a manager contact me but did not get anyone to reach out to me via email or phone.

Pros:
  • Good food
Cons:
  • Nonsense customer service people

Preferred solution: Full credit on the 2nd order I had to place and also additional credit for wasting my whole day chatting with them.

User's recommendation: Don’t trust their chat customer support team.

Since my last appeal Shef has honored and agreed to redeem the gift purchase coupon! Thanks guys for making it happen...A much relieved dad

Original review Aug 07, 2023

I had sent my son a coupon worth USD 100 on the 20th of July 2023

By error I typed a wrong email address.

So the email wasn't received and so the coupon hasn't been redeemed.

Please assist into this matter.

I'm based in Toronto and my son is in San Francisco.

I await your response.

Shef did not give order to driver

I received a text/email from the chef the day of my scheduled delivery via dash. She said she did not give the order to the delivery driver?

I dont know why she would do this? I need a refund please.
