Do not use, stay away. I ordered food from a restaurant in Preston (Melbourne) for delivery via the Hungry Panda service for the Lunar New Year dinner. I should have read these reviews before proceeding and trusted my judgment, since I had a doubt before ordering. I've never used Hungry Panda before; maybe I should never use it at all and just stick with the other services, which already proven to be reliable. Spent quite a bit of money on my order, placed it at around 5.15 pm, and waited until almost 7 pm (6:50). I immediately tried to contact Panda via live chat, but I doubt these agents are human. They keep telling me the restaurant is busy and still processing my order (a lie). I took the initiative to call the restaurant to check, and the lady said they cannot find anyone (from Panda) to deliver. I offered to have my husband pick up the order in person instead. The restaurant staff said to contact Panda directly, she cannot help me with the order and then hung up on me. I was stuck in between with no help from either the restaurant or Panda's side. I sent my husband to the restaurant anyway to get some clarification. Turned out the restaurant had cancelled my order because they could not find a Panda driver. They have not cooked my order at all. No cancellation notification was sent to me, so I was not aware until my husband came in person. I contacted Panda again to request a full refund because the amount was deducted from my account. Their agent replied that the refund will be processed within 3 to 14 days. I told them that my family dinner is ruined; I have hungry family members waiting, and there is no food on the table. They refunded all my money within an hour and offered a $10 voucher. I will never use their services again. They should not offer delivery services to restaurants or customers in areas where they lack drivers.
