How do I make a claim?

Step 1: Try resolving the issue directly with the Merchant

The first step is to reach out to the merchant to get the refund from them directly. Keep all records of your purchase (e.g receipts) and interaction with the merchant (e.g correspondences).

Step 2: Get in touch with Grab

If you are unable to resolve the matter after contacting the merchant, fret not, as we are here to help. Contact Grab by completing the form here. You’ll have to login in order to access the form.

Please note that you must contact Grab within 14 days from the last correspondence with the Merchant. We will require proof that the merchant has refused to provide a refund, along with all relevant documentation (e.g receipts, merchant correspondence, and other information) for us to investigate your case.

Step 3: Ship the item back & hear from us in 5 business days

In some cases, specifically after you’ve filed a “Significantly Not as Described” claim, we require you to ship the item back to the Merchant, Grab, or third party, and you will be required to cover the shipping costs.

Our team will get back to you within 5 days to let you know if your claim has been successful or not or if we need any further information. If your claim is successful, Grab will reimburse you for the full purchase of the item and original shipping costs.

Komsan Chiyadis

GrabFood delivery-partner, Thailand

COVID-19 has dealt an unprecedented blow to the tourism industry, affecting the livelihoods of millions of workers. One of them was Komsan, an assistant chef in a luxury hotel based in the Srinakarin area.

As the number of tourists at the hotel plunged, he decided to sign up as a GrabFood delivery-partner to earn an alternative income. Soon after, the hotel ceased operations.

Komsan has viewed this change through an optimistic lens, calling it the perfect opportunity for him to embark on a fresh journey after his previous job. Aside from GrabFood deliveries, he now also picks up GrabExpress jobs. It can get tiring, having to shuttle between different locations, but Komsan finds it exciting. And mostly, he’s glad to get his income back on track.
