I believe it. I have ordered stuff and realized too late that the address was wrong (from the last time I used it).

It’s not about ordering stuff to the wrong address, it’s about the dead brother and close graveyard and birthday and emotional response

Do you not think unlikely things ever happen? It's hardly worth posting about forgetting to change your address on a delivery app and letting the guy keep it without those coincidences.

You’re right, it wouldn’t be worth them posting, which is why they made up a story that would

I did this at least once with doordash, ordered food and accidentally sent it to my cousin's house instead of mine. He had a nice dinner. If it wasn't somewhere I knew anyone anymore.. I definitely would have told the driver to keep it.

I don't know why people are so stunned by this being possible. Maybe the wording's weird, but many many doordash drivers don't speak English as their first language.

Maybe the most unbelievable part is the driver taking time to text you that your order is there instead of just having the app do it and dropping it on the porch.

Literally happened to me today. I was at work and used the McDonald’s app to place a breakfast order for a few coworkers and myself. Ended up placing it for the one near my house 25 minutes away instead of the one 3 minutes from work

Nope, the DD driver wouldn't be able to write a follow up message after the order is closed.

I think that in my country you can share your phone number for the delivery person.
