Delivery went wrong

The 24/7 service at DoorDash is available from some outlets. Though you can browse through the several selling points available on DoorDash, choosing a store near you is advisable. 

However, if the ice cream melts or is damaged which is the risk in dealing with such business or the delivery is late you can contact the DoorDash support or on the app, you click on the ‘ORDERS ’ tab select what you ordered then click ‘HELP’ click on the order issue in the ‘ORDER ISSUES’ in the order issues section.

Unfortunately, it’s not possible to get whipped cream on any of the flavors because it tends to dissolve during delivery, it is also hard to transport some kinds of ice-creams thus is not offered on the DoorDash menu example banana splits. 

Is the risk worth it?  

Doordash has made it possible to satisfy your sweet tooth without trying to find your car keys or shoes to go find ice cream.

 After receiving the delivery in perfect condition, in time and the dasher communicates well and is kind, why not tip? They work so hard to ensure the delicate goods get to you in good condition. 

DoorDash advises a 15 to 20% tip of your total bill which is the same guideline used in restaurants to tip waiters and waitresses.

Tip the dasher?

Tipping is not a must but it’s a kind gesture of appreciation for services well rendered. Dashers are not employees of DoorDash but contractors thus the tips help a long way in assisting them to foot their bills including servicing their cars. 

Door dash has updated its tipping policy such that before the delivery, the driver can know if the customer will tip them or not or if the tip offered is too low and it is at his discretion to accept making the delivery or not. 

Tipping in cash is always ideal as the money gets to the driver instantly without having to wait for payouts. It will also not be necessary to report the tip thus not taxable.

Conclusion

All drivers must have and use an insulated delivery bag which is crucial in keeping ice-creams and other frozen merchandise safe by maintaining the cool temperatures.
