“I ordered from Germany. Everything worked perfect!”

I ordered something from Germany and it reached me in time, with no problems. Thanks for sending me this regional product, that I could not get somewhere else. Really appreciate ordering from you. Also fast response on my mails and giving me info about the status of the package. Great! I can really recommend this online store.

“Scammed!”

Wow, months later and I still haven't received my order. I emailed them and they indicated my order was on the way. I still haven't received anything to date. I will also be contacting the Better Business Bureau. There are complaints about them on their website too. I shop frequently online and this is the first time I feel like I was scammed.

Verified purchase

I did not receive a few items, response time is slow. I remained committed to communication/follow up and eventually received refund for unsent items

Tip for consumers:
If offered a refund, or to wait until their stock is re-inventoried… take the money

Products used:
Don’t remember. Primarily I wanted the bowls I didn’t receive… the rest of my order was added to avoid shipping costs

The service was decent, responded to most emails. The two critiques I have to there service was failing to notify me (keep me updated) when there was a long delay in receiving my order. I had to ask them each time to get updates. Also, they missed one item, and when I notified them, they refunded me rather that ship me it. I figure they didn't want the extra shipping cost, yet that item was one of the two main priorities to me in that order. So I am not satisfied with that outcome which does counter their guarantee.

Hello, I ordered a meat slicer (200$ CAN). Monday 17 oct and was shipped 26 oct... Between that i didn't get any notification or tracking number (I asked them for...) on my order and was in doubt reading bad reviews here. I received it yesterday by express post. Everything is fine but this compagny surely have a bad communication and dont let their customer to be safe in mind. For me its ok, but im not sure i'll buy there again cause i absolutly not want to deal a return or a damaged item with them... THAT should be a nightmare.

My wife ordered a Marcaro Silver Cookie Press for $78.99. This item was ordered on 12-7-2018 and she paid $7.99 for expedited shipping to get it before Christmas. She received and email from the company on 12-10-2018 that said the order was shipped. Needless to say, Christmas came and went and no cookie press. She sent an email on 12-28 informing the company that she had not received the cookie press. On 1-3-2019 she received and email from Sandra apologizing that it was delayed and confirmed our address (which was correct). On 1-4-2019 Sandra email my wife saying the United States Post Office said there
Have been weather delays and she should receive it in 1-2 days. Well, here we are at 1-18 and no cookie press, no more returning of her emails, or returns of phone calls. If this was a $10 cookie press, I would chock it up to not investigating the company better. I order things all the time where I work and have never been blown off so badly in my life.

Update: We never did receive the item we ordered. However, Roman contacted us and returned our money very quickly. I'm increasing my rating to 3 stars due to the fact that it took quite a lot of back and forth to finally get the money returned. Once Roman was involved things went very quickly and he was very courteous.

Although I was skeptical after reading the reviews here, I was pleased in the end. A week after ordering, my order had not yet been shipped. I sent a message through Contact Us and heard nothing back. I left a phone message... no return phone call. I finally sent an e-mail to *******@kitchenniche.ca to the attention of Roman Koller. I got a response saying that the item was back ordered for one week and the item had now arrived. He said that this was noted on the website, but I did not see this. The item was shipped within a day and it arrived by Xpresspost in a couple of days. So in the end, the product arrived, well-packed and I received exactly what I ordered.

Okay, I placed an order on this site before discovering sitejabber. My experience has been less than top shelf, but the results have not been a disaster. There appears to be only one person who provides help with orders and customer service. I believe this person is overwhelmed by inadequate experience and very poor inventory control. It took over a week just to get an acknowledgment of my order. No timing was provided on shipping. I had just discovered Sitejabber where I checked out kitchenniche and got nervous. I emailed their customer service address and very politely asked for timing on this order. One week later, I got an answer saying it was processed and would ship as soon as it became available. Another email came one week after that and said the shipment would arrive in 7-10 days. I wrote back and thanked her for the update. 10 days took me up to last Friday with nothing yet, so I waited until Monday with intentions of another email query. Most of my order arrived that same morning with a note apologizing for 1 out of the 5 items ordered being out of stock and that it would ship as soon as it came in.

So, this is not a scam site and they are not entirely bad. The pricing and products I received were fine. You just need to be very patient and understand that this is the process.

Can you do better elsewhere? Absolutely!
