We have a $4.90 processing fee for both Lancaster & York deliveries. The Delivery Waiter gratuity is not included. They check and
pack your order just like a waiter or waitress. A tip of 10-15% is customary.
Your delivery waiter does not receive any portion of the processing fee. Your
generosity is greatly appreciated. Please note that with fluctuating gas and other prices our processing fee may
also fluctuate. Back To Top
Our delivery time is usually 45 minutes to an hour. Times could vary depending
on traffic, weather conditions, and restaurant preparation time. We do not
place the order with the restaurant until we have a driver available to pick up
your meal. This ensures the freshest possible food. Back To Top
Yes, we accept credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover and
most bank debit cards). We only take checks from customers who have written a check to us in the past. We would look at the history on your account to determine if you are okay to
write a check. Back To Top
If your choice of payment method is credit card, Carryout Courier obtains an
'Authorization Approval' which indicates that the card is valid and usable. At
the end of the night, the actual charge is run including any gratuity if you
chose to add it to the card.
When you cancel an order after the 'Authorization' has been obtained, or if you
switch the order from credit card to cash, it can take up to 5-7 business days
for the 'Authorization' to be removed and for the funds to be available for
your use. If you check your statement online and see the word 'Authorization'
or 'Pending' that does not indicate an actual charge was run.
Carryout Courier does not have any control over this process and there is
nothing we can do to speed up the process. If you have any questions, please
contact your credit card company or bank. Back To Top
Yes, you may include the tip on the credit card and the driver will receive

available. We try to time your order so the driver arrives at the restaurant as
the meals are coming out of the oven. The driver then checks your order to
ensure completeness, packs the meals in our heat insulated bags and then drives
to your location. We make every effort to deliver hot, quality meals to your
door, however certain items do not travel well and may need to be briefly
reheated. Thank you.
