Can DoorDash drivers cancel orders?
Dashers are not allowed to cancel takeout orders on their own; instead, they need to contact DoorDash driver support first. Sometimes a DoorDash delivery driver arrives at a given restaurant, but the restaurant loses your food order, which will cause the driver to cancel the order.
Cancelling trips will result in automatic cancellation of food orders, but if they do so frequently, it will have a negative impact on the overall performance and stats of delivery drivers. It advises delivery drivers to be cautious about taking delivery or not picking it up at all, rather than cancelling after receipt.
As a DoorDash delivery driver, if an order is cancelled due to restaurant staff negligence or other reasons, please contact a DoorDash driver support representative to share the entire case with them.
Even after accepting an order, DoorDash will give drivers the command to select UNASSIGN to reappear in front of all other drivers so other drivers can deliver.
If a DoorDash driver arrives at the delivery location but no one takes the order, they can cancel the order through the given method. Tag your location via GPS and provide a photo to prove you are at the given location to cancel the order.

DoorDash driver contracts restrict its drivers from opening food containers or tampering with them. It takes strict action against those involved in such activations. You should always check your order upon delivery and make sure the seal is intact.

What if DoorDash takes too long?
DoorDash offers on-time delivery, but if your order is more than half an hour late, you can contact customer support for immediate delivery credit.
What happens when a DoorDash driver cancels your order?

If this happens to you multiple times, you can provide a nice tip and your order will be delivered immediately.
What happens if you don’t tip DoorDash?
There is no DoorDash driver or customer policy that says you need to tip delivery drivers, but DoorDash drivers make less money without good tips.
The DoorDash delivery driver app shows total earnings per delivery, including tips, so drivers will never accept orders for meals delivered miles away without tips or with very low earnings compared to distance.
Why did Dashers cancel the order?
There could be many reasons behind your order on DoorDash but no one picks it up for you.
You place an order, but the restaurant is not at your location, and you don’t tip the driver.
So drivers don’t pick up small orders and ship them far away without any tips.
What if no Dasher wants to take your order?
The common perception among customers about DoorDash drivers is that they are DoorDash employees and they will be penalized if they don’t take your order. This is not the case, even after accepting the delivery order, the dasher can choose to reject the delivery order or UNASSIGN and still not have to face any consequences.
DoorDash does not guarantee that you will receive all orders you place on the food delivery platform, as dashers may choose to refuse delivery of the order. To avoid this, you can give a good tip and some drivers will pick the order for you.
Will DoorDash punish you for dropping orders?
DoorDash contracts cannot be penalized for delivery drivers rejecting too many orders because they are not your official employer. But keep turning down too many orders and you won’t be able to enter the Top Dasher program for more benefits and perks than other delivery drivers.
You can apply for this program if you have accepted more than 70% of your delivery offer within a given time.
What if DoorDash cancels my order but is still charged?
If your order is automatically cancelled, you will receive an email with the reason for the cancellation and the account will be credited with that amount.
