iFood receives 52 negative mentions out of 54 total references about delivery issues. Customers report unresponsive customer service, failed refunds, and no accountability for lost, damaged, or incorrect orders. Many cannot reach an agent, get no resolution after multiple attempts, or are denied refunds despite clear proof of non-delivery. Only two mentions describe positive experiences, indicating rare exceptions or minimal improvement. Complaints remain consistent over time, with no monthly data showing change. The overall trend shows deep dissatisfaction with iFood’s handling of delivery failures and customer support.

What Customers Praise

Customers often praise iFood's app interface and restaurant variety, but delivery and support problems outweigh these benefits. The app is convenient for ordering, and order processing is fast. However, post-order support consistently fails. App usability does not make up for unreliable issue resolution.

Common Complaints

The most common complaints about iFood involve unresolved delivery issues such as missing, damaged, or incorrect orders. Users report the app does not let them contact delivery drivers directly. Support agents often do not respond or dismiss concerns. Refunds are denied even when orders were not delivered. Some customers say delivery drivers have threatened them, increasing feelings of insecurity and poor service.

How It Has Changed Over Time

There is no monthly history to track support quality changes. Current data shows unresolved delivery issues and reembolsement denials persist. Without historical data, it is impossible to determine if support has worsened, stayed the same, or improved. The absence of trend information prevents assessment of any meaningful changes to iFood's customer service processes.

Practical Takeaways

Users with delivery issues should document all details, including order status screenshots, messages, and delivery attempt records. Contacting iFood through multiple channels can improve response chances, but no outcome is guaranteed. If a reembolso is denied, escalate using official complaint forms or consumer protection channels. Do not rely on iFood support as a dependable solution; use it only after trying all other options.
