A woman was stunned when her three-item order from an Indian takeaway turned up at her door 20 hours later.
Ruth Anderton shared the shocking wait time at the Sangam Balti House on local Facebook group, Preston Restaurant & Take Out Reviews.
Ruth claimed her order was placed at 10.06pm on February 20, costing £23.50 with a discount and no charge for delivery, Lancs Live reports.
It wasn't until the next day - around 20 hours later - that her order turned up, she claims.
Despite hers being accepted, the takeaway told her they won't prepare orders past 10pm.
The £23.50 takeaway consisted of a meat thaly - a sharing meal for three - a regular portion of chips and a bottle of Coca Cola.
The order receipt said Ruth's food should have arrived just after 11pm on the night she placed the order, which was Sunday, February 20.
Ruth claimed she made attempts to track the order but nobody answered her calls.
A day later, she called again, and claims she was told no orders could be taken after 10pm - despite Ruth's own order being accepted.
Soon after that second phone call took place, she claims a delivery driver came to her house and delivered the food at 6pm the day after placing the order.
He allegedly told her he would provide her with a refund by sending a driver with her money, but she said the driver "never showed".
In her public post, Ruth said: "Sangam Balti House, Lostock Hall. Take look at the time and date ordered.
"When did it turn up? 6pm the day after. I was ringing to see where it was the night before but no answer.
"When I rang the day after, the bloke on the phone said no more orders were taken after 10pm. But they were quick enough to take the money straight away.
"Within a couple of minutes a delivery driver was knocking on my door whilst I was still on the phone. 19 hours late. I said how unimpressed I was and he said he'd refund me by sending a driver the day after with my money. Never showed.
"Must have clocked my number and ignoring me. Might pay them a visit when I'm next in Lostock Hall."
Sangam Balti House was contacted for comment by LancsLive but did not respond prior to publication.
