You can almost always get free delivery to your favourite restaurants by following these steps:

  1. Change the delivery address to the desired restaurant.
  2. Check the "$0 Delivery Fee for orders over $20" section to see if your restaurant is here. Restaurants here refresh every 8-15 minutes.
  3. Once your restaurant pops up, place your order and go to the check out page.
  4. You will see at the checkout page a red message saying "you seem far from this address". Change the address to your actual address.
  5. You will be able to finish the order and still access the free delivery promotion.

I have tried this multiple times and have had success.

Hope this will help some people.

                @Jaduqimon: you weren't referring to the promo codes or free delivery. You were talking about missing ingredients and being allergic to certain foods. Not sure why Uber eats would fork the costs if it was the mistake of the Restaurant…

                @TightTerry: If Uber believes the restaurant made the mistake, they foot the bill for the refund. Such as, for example, if the food contained allergens that weren't declared, or the burger was missing half the stuff.

    Yeah I must be dumb but this isnt clear;

    -Check the "$0 Delivery Fee for orders over $20" section to see if your restaurant is here. Restaurants here refresh every 8-15 minutes.
    -Once your restaurant pops up, place your order and go to the check out page.

    So this cant be done for ANY restaurant? Only restaurants that cycle through this promotion?

    • timmylol on 24/03/2021 - 15:53

      If you set the dummy delivery address very close to the desired restaurant, you'll almost always see that restaurant show up in the promotion (may have to refresh once or twice)

        Some restaurants don’t come up at all. I tested one today and all day it never came up. Also McDonalds never comes up for me. And I know they get regular orders because everytime I’m there, there’s a constant stream of McDelivery orders on the counter. There must be a reason why some restaurants never come up in this promotion.

    • [Deactivated] on 24/03/2021 - 17:02

      Restaurants don't opt into this. What it is, is that Uber is matching multiple orders and the first poor bastard pays full delivery fee, and the person whose order was decided to be "in between" the restaurant and the first order gets free delivery because, well, it's on the way. If a person does this trick though, Uber can send the first person's food 20 minutes in the opposite direction to the exploiter's address before it finally shows up stone cold and inedible.

      This is why I stopped ordering Laksa delivered, the minimum kept going up and I was adding entrées to cover the difference then I finally decided enough is enough when I needed to order 3 entrées to meet the minimum order.

    • [Deactivated] on 24/03/2021 - 17:04

      Personally I want it deleted because I've been on the receiving end of someone doing this - it works because when it offered free delivery it thought you were between the restaurant and someone else ordering so it combined the orders to save time and money (you know, quite logically) but when the exploiter changes the address, the order is still combined so the person who actually paid for delivery has to wait for their food to go the opposite direction before finally being delivered cold.

      • TightTerry on 24/03/2021 - 17:18

        They say that’s how it works, but in reality it doesn’t. It’s usually just a close proximity delivery discount. I’ve ordered from places a few mins drive away legitimately using this promo and it goes straight from the restaurant to my place.

        • [Deactivated] on 24/03/2021 - 17:20

          Uh huh. Because it doesn't show you the other guy further away's order. Someone else is looking at a screen that says "Your driver is making 1 stop along the way" (with a dot right where your house is, by the way).

          • TightTerry on 24/03/2021 - 17:32

            @[Deactivated]: Nah the driver even confirmed it as I asked out of curiosity and he showed me it was only my order he had on him and he was going straight back to the main strip which is about 2 minutes scoot away.

            I’m not saying it doesn’t happen as there is definitely the “piggy back” system they use occasionally. However much more often than not it’s a close proximity free delivery discount. There is almost always the same 3-4 restaurants in my free delivery >$20 section.

            • [Deactivated] on 24/03/2021 - 17:35

              @TightTerry: I also strongly suspect that they also have "opportunistic" matching where a few people are looking at the same restaurant so it tries to use free delivery to encourage the people looking to bite the bullet and order from that restaurant (if that makes sense?)

              The wording they use on that offer is "You are likely to be matched with another order" - nine times out of ten mine is, and that's fine when I expect it, but on the occasions I've paid for delivery a small number have been matched with someone else in the opposite direction ten minutes away from the restaurant (meaning thirty minutes away from me)

      • UndeclaredFreak on 24/03/2021 - 17:25

        Everytime I’ve ordered the $0 delivery option, I’ve been the second or 3rd stop. I’ve ended up with lots of cold food because I didn’t want to pay delivery.

        • TightTerry on 24/03/2021 - 17:38

          Don’t know how you could be the 3rd stop? I’m about 90% sure 2 orders is the Max they can take. Most of us found that out during the Australian open Uber eats promo :)

          • UndeclaredFreak on 24/03/2021 - 17:42

            @TightTerry: I watch the tracking. Usually after my food is picked up, next stop is their restaurant (it’s not always the same restaurant as mine) and then am assuming it’s their delivery due to it going blank for a bit. Although the other day it actually had to location of their stop not blanked out.
            I order a lot of uber eats being house bound. Sometimes the wait at the second restaurant is really long.

It’s always in the same area though. But this has happened to me a couple of times now. The last time it happened the driver was sitting at the second restaurant for a good 15 minutes after it had already picked mine up from elsewhere.

        Who cares? If the person who payed for it has an issue at all it's just as easy for them to contact Uber support and make the case that their food was cold, if it was due to the wait, or the fact they had to wait so long. No sympathy for these mega-corporations at all, they deserve every dollar ripped off from them.

        That's completely fair, but end of the day that's also on Uber. We often get this happening despite being seemingly the closer place to deliver to. But I will never not complain on Ubers support line if food arrives cold and disgusting because of having to go to another location first when I've paid for delivery. They're normally pretty good with refunds. Until you ask for too many and they start spouting you're violating community guidelines. Stop violating my taste buds Uber! Staaaaaaaaahp

              @vodamerc: That might actually be different since 1 March - Uber changed their contract with drivers to try and avoid drivers being classified as employees, and part of that was to change the way they offer jobs. When the actual offer is made to the driver, a lot more info is now given to them up front so that they can make the decision to accept or not - I don't know how this works with combined orders, maybe it just gives them an estimate of km driven and $ paid. The issue is that if the two orders are in opposite directions, then one of the two customers is getting screwed no matter what.

    Uber is still making money regardless. Example- my local restaurant has a main at $14.95 but on eats/doordash it is listed as $18.95!!! That’s a whole extra $4 on just one item.

    I asked the restaurant if they get $18.95, they said no!

    So that $4 goes to Uber, not the driver. Not sure whose at the losing end?

    Except restaurants on Uber Eats charge 20-30% higher prices than their regular prices. So even if it’s free delivery, you’re still essentially paying for delivery.

    Always a good idea to look online at their menu and delivery fee. Usually delivery is $5, combine that with 20-30% cheaper prices on meals and it’s cheaper than Uber Eats with free delivery

    If the restaurant remove an item because they sold out or are out of stock and the order drops below the free delivery value Uber Eats will automatically charge you a delivery fee.

    My mate works at Uber (Australia), says they knew about this loophole yonks ago but didn't bother fixing it because it wasn't 'that big of a priority'. Go figure.

    Doesn't accept for me. I changed my address to restaurant and then home but it still shows the restaurant address…

    Think they've closed this. Uber pass now
