Q. I was due a refund but I never received it?

Ans. First of all, Please check whether your money EVER LEFT your account? What happens is, whenever you make an online purchase, the money is RESERVED and not TAKEN from your account. If a request for a refund is sent on the same day, it is possible that the RESERVATION gets cancelled and therefore the money will simply not leave your account at all. Therefore, it is most likely that the money has never left the account at all and so it may seem as if you are not receiving the refund. In that case, it will not show a “refund item” on your statement. If your money has been taken out of your account and you have not received a refund, contact us immediately at +974 66750987and we will look into the matter. If a restaurant is unable to fulfil your order we will refund your money within a maximum of 7 working days.
