Student shocked as £14.05 is added to her £4.45 Deliveroo bill

A student who wanted a milkshake delivered to her door was shocked when the Deliveroo bill for the one drink came to £18.50.

Tanyah Boman knew there would be a delivery charge when she ordered the shake from a nearby restaurant but never expected such a huge surcharge to be added.

Now others are being warned to look out for the addition - which some restaurants can add on to any bill they like, reports MEN.

Tanyah 18, is currently studying at University in Birmingham. She ordered a large Oreo Milkshake from Munchies Takeaway & Dessert - at £4.45.

On top of that there was the expected delivery charge of £2.50.

But what she wasn't expecting was the £11.55 'small order fee'.

Tanyah said: "Honestly, I just wanted a bl**dy Oreo milkshake. Even my boyfriend was gonna get one delivered to mine but then he saw that he was like 'sorry but you can live without it'."

The restaurant is classed by Deliveroo as a Market+ client. This means they can set their own minimum order fee and delivery.

A spokesman for Deliveroo said: "Deliveroo is proud to offer Market+ which gives customers an even greater choice of restaurants right across the UK. Restaurant partners on Market+ set their own minimum order fee and delivery fee, depending on the travel distance and the quantity of the order. 

"We always encourage our customers to pick a wide choice of amazing food and make sure their basket is full!"tend
