Erm, no they are not; you enter into an agreement or contract with a delivering party, you PAY them to deliver things to your house. If they flunk out or do subpar products they won't get repeat trades.

I don't understand why you think a half-assed service is acceptable. I don't believe I'm being unreasonable. 20% failure rate is unreasonable.

If I didn’t get my food 20% of the time, that would be a problem.

But if a dish is missing, the food isn’t piping hot, it’s less than an hour late or the packaging is a disaster twenty percent of the time, that’s fine. I still saved time.
