Not sure what the T&C's are or the expiry of the code
Alternatively:
Purchase one Safe Night for Women @ Womens Refuge and get $20 off a delicious dinner, delivered fresh to your door.
* Your voucher code will be emailed within 24 hours.

Probably could use $15 first and then the $20 voucher on 2nd meal
$10 credit for referee (min. $20 spend).
You can also donate $20 to the womans refuge that covers 1 night for 1 person and they give you a $20 deliveryeasy voucher code. iirc you can also get a tax refund on the donation. Not sure if you could stack both codes, unlikely imo.
I didn't think you could get a refund on the donation if you are getting something in return. From IRD: You can claim tax credits for donations of $5 or more when the donation: did not provide any direct benefit to you or your family. https://www.ird.govt.nz/income-tax/income-tax-for-individual…
That is correct - a donation / gift means, by definition, you cannot be getting anything in return.
Apparently only one coupon can be used. This is from the payment screen. Btw thanks OP
"Only one discount code can be applied"
Probably could use $15 first and then the $20 voucher on 2nd meal
yeah good thought.
Doesn't deliver to Auckland
Bugger, doesn't cover West Auckland.
Shhhhhh! 👌😁
Now I wish I could retract what I said ;).
We'll help by neg your comment? 😁
Really hate it that prices on these services are usually at least 10% more expensive than the restaurant menu prices.
Consumer NZ taking note of this "scam", but upto ComCom to prosecute. So in other words, nothing will change lol

Is it just me (or maybe some odd setting in my browser), but the Consumer NZ seems incredibly badly designed with very low contrast between the text and white background?
I don't have a problem with a restaurant charging more to cover their costs of having the food delivered - most other businesses charge for delivery.
Not sure what the issue truly is? Seems similar to a business adding 2% (or whatever) if you want to pay by credit card.
Looks fine on Chrome on my smartphone. You're just showing your age gramps lol
@The Hound: Bugger off you whippersnapper you!
And gerroff my grass too (unless you want to cut it for a poor old man that will probably have arthritis and aching bones within the next twenty years)!!
@Alan6984: The issue here is, the price of the meal gets bumped up if delivered, and the customer is not told about it.
At KFC, a Zinger box meal costs $15.89 to pick up in store, yet will set you back $18.49 if you opt for delivery. The real zinger is that you end up paying $10.59 for delivery, not the $7.99 as advertised
@The Hound: I must be missing something, but it sounds like delivery is $18.49 - $15.89 = $2.60.
Does it say something other than $18.49 when you get to entering your credit card (or however you pay at KFC)?
@Alan6984: Buying instore will be $15.89 but total cost to have it delivered will be $26.48
Delivery fee is advertised as $7.99, but price of meal is charged as $18.49 instead of $15.89 and restaurant does not explain the reason for price hike. By law they should disclose such information.
@The Hound: Ah - that makes more sense. Agree they should state the additional cost, if delivered, is $26.48 - $15.89 = $10.59.
@The Hound: Not just that, but prices at restaurant stores are also different from picked up prices using the food sevices. For example, for this restaurant, pork buns $8 at restaurant, $10 on delivereasy (pickup); chicken and kim chi dumplings $9.5 at restaurant, $11 on delivereasy. https://www.wellingtondragons.co.nz
@sunshinenz: Unfortunately the reason for increased pricing for the pickup orders placed via food delivery services are due to the commissions that the restaurant has to pay to these services. Usually in the range of 6% to 8% for pickup orders. Cost of convenience I suppose. If you are going to pickup the order might as well place the phone order directly for collection and support the business.

@dealsgalore: Yes, but they should at least show the true cost of having it delivered rather than collecting (being the cost delivered less the cost to collect).
I have no problem with the the costs of having it delivered as long as they are showing them clearly and accurately.
@Alan6984: The restaurants don't control what to show or not show. The delivery platform controls that. the restaurants just control their menu and prices of the menu items. The restaurants don't have the option to set different prices for pickup or delivered items. Each restaurant increases their prices on these platforms to cover the cost of commissions circa 30% to 35%. The delivery fees is controlled and goes to the delivery services platform. If the delivery platforms start showing separate prices for delivery and Pickup orders then they loose substantially. One the 30% commission on sale and then the commission from the delivery fees as well.
@dealsgalore: So are you saying that KCF (to use the existing example) show their prices as $15.89 (pick up), but UberEats show their prices as $18.49 (pick up) and $26.48 (delivered)?
If so, and the prices are in different places (KFC website, and UberEats website) then perhaps not such an issue?
Not sure why anyone would purchase through UberEats to collect themselves if it is more expensive, but I guess some people just will?
@The Hound: Yes it is. I was talking about 6% commission for pickup orders. i.e. the customer places an order via food delivery services and collect the order themselves.
@The Hound: Also its 30%+GST. So it ends up close to 35% on the sale price. So for every $10 purchase the restaurant only get about $6.50 paid out.
@dealsgalore: Price To Customer = $100.00 + GST ($115.00 cash paid by customer).
Commission = 30%
Amount Restaurant Receives = $70.00 + GST ($80.50)
Amount UberEats Receives = $30.00 + GST ($34.50)
Reality is that the government actually gets the GST ($15.00) of course, but its not reasonable to say that the cost is 'close to 35%'.
If you prefer, for every $10 (to use your figure) paid by the customer:
Restaurant = $6.09
UberEats = $2.61
Government = $1.30
You can't reasonably say that UberEats is taking '30% + GST' - since the 30% is 30% of both the exclusive and inclusive amount.
Regardless, 30% seems very high. I can only assume that, for many restaurants, it makes sense though.
@Alan6984: Anyway, my point was that, I was quite happy to discover that this post's discount code worked with my existing account (which I hadn't used in 3 years), just to then realise that most of the discount is eaten away by the price discrepancies between calling up the restaurant to order and ordering on deliveryeasy.
@sunshinenz: I must have missed me replying to you, but fair enough - I only used UberEats once, and that was due to them offering a $20 or $30 credit so it was entirely free food turning up :-)
I looked a few times after that, but it never looked like a good deal compared to the alternatives.
Alan.
They're doing the only thing they can do to offset the high surcharges taken by ubereats and others.
It's either that or not use the platform because the margins on takeaways are usually pretty thin anyway.
I have fully refunded over 100 meals from uber eats because they don't care to enforce food quality standards, and at the same time they pay the restaurant as soon as the order is picked up. Uber eats handles feedback and support themselves, with no info provided to the seller, and they will always try and fob you off with a sorry , and happily throw the seller restaurant under the bus for a 1 star review. Uber is really bad for our already crumbling food service industry.
Why would you have to refund the customer - what makes you liable?
Looks like code now only works for deliveries only
What area are you in? The code no longer works for pickup/delivery’s in my area (south Auckland) at all now :(
According to the coverage link above, it does not include South Auckland at all. Try a CBD address.
Nice find, thank you mate.
