   • Uber Eats will automatically use the payment option on your regular Uber account if you sign in with your Uber credentials. Remember to change this option if you want to use a different payment method.

   Pick the order that you’re having a problem with. If you’re contacting Uber Eats because of a problem with an order, select the order you have a problem with, This brings you to a menu of all your past orders. Select the one that you want to speak with customer service about.

   Describe your issue. If you selected an order, you'll see a few options pertaining to that order, including Past order (if the order has already been completed) and Safety (if you have a safety concern). Choose the option that best fits the situation, and follow the on-screen instructions to start chatting with a representative.

   • If chat support is not available, you'll be able to fill out a form that allows you to describe the issue further.
   • Be specific about the issue when chatting with Uber Eats or filling out the contact form. For example, don’t just say “My order was missing items.” Instead, say “We ordered 3 boxes of chicken nuggets and only received 2.”

   Wait for a response from Uber customer service. If chat is available, wait for an agent to connect. If you submitted a form, Uber customer service will begin working on it. Responses are usually quick since customer service reps can view the details of your order. They’ll respond to your inquiry through the app text messenger. If you aren’t happy with the answer, then you can chat back and forth until the problem is resolved.
