What reviewers want you to know

Positive highlights

  • The cool thing is that they actually know plumbing and aren't some horribly ignorant customer service-type company.
  • We can no longer find it at Lowe's or Home Depot online (with Covid, we are trying not to go personally to places).

Critical highlights

  • After 2 calls to plumbing supply and my refusal to pay a 30% restocking fee they agreed to let me send it back.

“Great resource!”

Found obsolete parts for our Eljer toilet on their site. The navigation to finding those parts was very simple, easy to read diagrams with dimensions made selection a breeze. I'm in NC, ordered on Monday & received from California on Friday - exactly as ordered! Even the color of new toilet seat matched a 20 year old tank. Thank you - will recommend & use again if plumbing supplies are needed!

“Shipping Scam”

We paid for two day shipping - $25 and 6 days later = nothing. They won't answer their phone and you can't leave a message. Emails are unanswered. Definitely something bad happening with this place.

I will start first by saying I never leave reviews, let alone bad ones but I felt I needed to address this.
Purchased a $600 faucet from plumbingsupply.com that we really stretched to afford. Turns out, 3 months later our contractor finally installs the sink which is wrong but it is fully tiled in now... And the faucet we purchased will not fit. I had a conversation with Michael the co-ceo of plumbing.com and they mentioned they will not take a return because it is not their policy after 30 days. Is plumbing supply.com wrong? No. Was it bad service? Not really, got the product two weeks after I ordered it.
So why two stars? I own a business as well and these last two years have been hell on small businesses, ours included. We have rules but we've attempted to be flexible with people due to the situation. We've returned thousands to customers during this time... That's just what you do because our attitude is we're all in it together, everyone is hurting.
I asked for a courtesy, an accommodation so I wouldn't be on the hook for a $600 faucet that I couldn't use. When I spoke with michael, he mentioned we would get stuck with it and what are we going to do with it? I then reached out to Strom, the manufacturer and they said they would be happy to take the return it just had to be initiated from plumbing supply.com. When I mentioned this to Michael via email, he basically ended the interchange with "we are not taking the faucet back" and "any further communication is useless"
So, after a long-winded review, is plumbing supply.com in the wrong? Technically no it's just very poor service practice to not at least ATTEMPT to accommodate special situations with customers.

Nice online shopping website. Lower cost shipping is very slow... 1 week.
Order arrived incomplete on a Sat. When customer service opened on Mon a new invoice was quickly generated... no extra costs. But, a 1 weekend job is now going to be at least 2 weekends. Quality control in shipping is badly needed. Will not be my 1st choice in future.

I bought a tankless waterheater from plumbingsupply.com in 2009 and come to find out from the manufacturer the water heater thy sold was actually a return for issues under another persons warranty and the manufacturer told me mine does not have a warranty. Now i get to pay for a waterheater that should have lastes another 11 years. Not happy
