- Food arrival takes an average of forty five minutes but this time period can of course vary.
- Delivery times can be as short as half an hour however. They can also take up to an hour and a half.
- These varying delivery times are due to issues with weather, location, and traffic.

- Some charge as high as $4.50 for delivery.
- Meanwhile some stores, like the Orient Express in Baltimore, do not charge a fee at all.
