DoorDash has been accused of adding an extra fee to orders made through iPhones because Apple users are believed to be wealthier.
Filed by Maryland's Ross Hecox, the lawsuit revolves around the expanded range fee, an additional, arbitrary fee charged by DoorDash. You can't find anything about it on DoorDash's website. The crux of the lawsuit is that DoorDash isn't transparent about its pricing system and iPhone users often end up paying more than Android users.
. To put it simply, if you want to place an order, it's better to use an Android phone than an iPhone if you don't want to pay extra for being an iOS user. Customers and Dashers - DoorDash's delivery drivers - have no idea what the expanded range fee is about. Although it sounds like this fee is applied when a delivery address is outside the delivery range, it is often applied even when the delivery address is near the pickup location.
Similarly, a Panera Bread order made from an iPhone came with a $0.99 fee, whereas no such fee was levied on an identical order made using an Android phone.
