I actually agree completely with this part of the post, and even came here to quote that part. I've gone completely off Uber since about a year ago due to their ridiculous price increases (per item fee + delivery fee + service fee), and I order direct from my half dozen favourite local places now, who absolutely do deliver personally and directly and usually for free if it's over a certain order size. They usually rock up on an e-bike or e-scooter just with my order. It's faster, way cheaper, and always fresher. I'm not sure if it's just certain parts of Australia that I and the OP have in common, or what the reason is for the different experiences, but our happiness with the experience of ordering food has gone higher than it's been in many years. I won't miss Uber at all.
