Where are you based? Here in SV I've never seen delivery fees like that. They always tack on at least $5 in mandatory fees, to say nothing of their inflated pricing (versus ordering direct from the restaurant).

This would have happened somewhere between Vacaville and Davis, inclusive.

I'm reporting the itemized delivery fee advertised by the services. I did no investigation at all, because I wasn't looking for delivery.

Ah, I was including all of the delivery-related fees, which seem to be spread across three or four separate charges. The "delivery fee" is often waived, since they make plenty of money on their other delivery-related fees.

In my experience, anything less than a 50% off coupon for DD or UE is not worth it. Their markup and delivery fees really add up.
