Cancel Picking Up a DoorDash Order with These Simple Steps

Canceling a DoorDash order is easier than you think, and it's often a simple matter of a few taps on your phone. You can cancel a DoorDash order up to 30 minutes before it's ready for pickup.

To cancel a DoorDash order, you'll need to access the DoorDash app or website. If you're using the app, tap on the "Orders" tab, then select the order you want to cancel.

If you're a Dasher, you might find yourself wanting to cancel an order due to a long wait. You can cancel an order by clicking the help button at the top right corner of the app, which looks like a question mark.

You'll then get to the help screen, which will give you a few options. To cancel the order, click “Can’t do this order.” You'll be asked to choose a reason, but it doesn't matter what you pick.

Try to cancel the order before you pick it up, as this will get the order sent to another Dasher who can complete the delivery. If you cancel after picking up the order, you'll technically get to keep the food, but this isn't recommended and can put you at risk of deactivation.

Don't cancel orders because you can't find the customer. Instead, contact customer service for help. You can find the option to chat with customer service in the help menu.

Your completion rate is the number of deliveries you completed out of the last 100 deliveries you accepted. If your completion rate falls below 80%, you're subject to deactivation.

If you cancel your DoorDash order as a Dasher, there are several important factors to consider. You can receive a refund if you cancel your order fast enough, but the type of refund you get depends on how quickly you cancel.

If you cancel before the restaurant confirms the order or DoorDash assigns a courier, you'll be able to receive a full refund for your purchase. This window of time is usually only a few seconds.

If you cancel after the restaurant confirms the order but before a courier is assigned, or vice versa, you'll receive a partial refund. DoorDash may still have to pay the driver for any driving they've already done, or the restaurant for food they've already begun preparing.

There are four types of refunds you can receive from DoorDash: Full Refund, Partial Refund, DoorDash Credit, and Re-Delivery. The type of refund you get depends on the circumstances of your cancellation.

Cancelling an order as a Dasher requires careful consideration of the DoorDash policies.

If you're considering cancelling an order, you should be aware that there are certain situations where it's more difficult to cancel than others, such as when the customer has already received the order.

DoorDash has specific rules and guidelines for Dasher cancellations, including restrictions on cancelling orders that have already been accepted or are in the process of being picked up.

As a Dasher, you should also be mindful of the potential impact on your ratings and earnings.

Communication with Support is key to resolving any issues that may arise during an order. If you're facing problems like a long wait time at the restaurant or unclear instructions, contact DoorDash support before canceling on your own.

They might offer alternatives or solutions that can save the order and avoid negatively impacting your metrics. This is especially useful if you're not sure what to do next.

If the unassignment option isn't showing, it means it's not available or you're facing technical issues. In this case, DoorDash support can manually help you cancel or unassign yourself from the order.

You can also track a delivery in the Drive Portal, but if you don't have access to it, you can contact your account manager.

DoorDash makes it clear that if your completion rate falls below 80%, you're subject to deactivation. Your completion rate is the number of deliveries you completed out of the last 100 deliveries you accepted.
