The Competition Bureau is suing DoorDash for allegedly promoting “misleading” prices and discounts for its online delivery services. The Bureau found that the company’s services end up being more costly to consumers than it advertises.

Through investigation, the Bureau says it found mandatory fees at checkout that did not allow consumers to purchase food and other items at the price that DoorDash advertises on its websites and mobile applications, according to a June 9 news release from the Competition Bureau.
