DoorDash

Siskinds LLP and Hammerco Lawyers LLP have partnered and commenced a proposed consumer class action lawsuit in the Supreme Court of British Columbia against DoorDash, Inc. and DoorDash Technologies Canada, Inc. (collectively “DoorDash”).

The class action lawsuit alleges that Canadian consumers ordering food delivery through DoorDash are unable to purchase Delivery Services at the Advertised Price because DoorDash imposes fixed, mandatory Added Fees at the final stage of the online purchasing process. The terms used in the drip pricing class action are defined as follows:

• Delivery Services means DoorDash’s online food delivery services that allows consumers to purchase food and other items from local restaurants, grocery stores, and convenience stores through the DoorDash Websites and Apps.
• Added Fees means the mandatory, fixed fees imposed by DoorDash for the Delivery Services, including the Service Fees, Expanded Range Fees, BC Regulatory Response Fees, and Small Order Fees.

DoorDash is a food delivery platform that connects consumers with local restaurants, grocery stores, and convenience stores, allowing consumers to order food and other items through its Websites and Apps. At the outset of the purchasing process, DoorDash promotes its Delivery Services at the Advertised Price. Later in the purchasing process, DoorDash discloses, and the consumer must pay, the Added Fees. In this lawsuit, Siskinds and Hammerco aim to hold DoorDash accountable for overcharging consumers through hidden fees.
