Yes. When you add in the fees + tip, it simply is not worth it. Then add the inconvenience of the driver being 40 minutes late. A lot of these drivers are so lazy, they won't even get out of their cars. I lost track of how many times I had to go out to the parking lot and track them down because they were in front of a different building.

If I'm paying a delivery fee + tip, you better at least get it to my door. That has less than a 50% chance of happening with these services. These days, it's cheaper, faster, and safer to pick it up myself.
