They don't care the sipping bad customer service. Never responde to the sipping questions please change to UPS
This business took my money for an item that they did not have in stock. After losing countless hours chatting with their customer service I learn that I cannot return the partial order they sent me without paying for reshipping + restocking fee. Just checked the website, the said item is still for sale and indicating that its in stock. Think twice before working with this company.
Thank you for your review, William. I am sorry to hear that a product is on backorder. Once part of an order ships, we do charge for the entire order amount. Because we did ship you items that were ordered, a return of those products would be considered standard, and would be subject to a restocking fee and return shipping. If you wish to cancel the remaining part of the order that has not yet shipped, please email help@webstaurantstore.com and we will be happy to assist.
I recently made my first purchase from Webstaurant store. After 5 business days, my payment has been made, AND cleared my bank. Yet still, my order still shows pending. No shipping info, no estimated ship time. I contactes customer support only to find that they cannot find my invoice. I send them copies of my bank statements as well as their own order confirmation that is printable after completion of the order. And of course im told there is nothing they can do because they cannot find the transaction on their end. Im also told that i will NOT be recieving a refund for my purchase. Thankfully my purchase was under 50 dollars as i tried to keep it as barebones as possible for my first transaction with them. I have disputed the charge with my bank. Buyer beware with these scam artists!
Thank you for your review Quentin. While I am not sure if I located the correct "Quentin F." in our system, I do see a couple recent orders under that name that are less than $50 and both orders are showing as being shipped. If this is still an ongoing issue, please email help@webstaurantstore.com with your order number and we will be happy to look into this for you!
I ordered $224 worth of chocolate for my Valentine orders. This company sent me 25lbs of old chocolate thats been sitting in their warehouse. It tasted horrible. I contacted them and asked for a manager. They sent me this ridiculous email telling me to donate the chocolate or resell it. What type of trash response is that to send someonw who just spent $224 on YOUR product? I didn't spend money to donate or work to push their product. Spend your money somewhere else. This company is a joke with bad chocolate and terrible customer service.
Thank you for your review. The coloring of the chocolate appears to be from being moved around in damage. Once we received your photos, we were able to determine that the best by date has not yet passed. We have made an exception and have refunded you for this chocolate. No return is needed, the chocolate can be discarded. If you have any additional questions, please let us know.
I accidentally ordered the wrong size glasses - I contacted them an explained I had accidentally ordered the wrong size. They wanted 30% restocking fee plus return shipping! Absolutely ridiculous. I explained that I just wanted an exchange but it didn't matter. Don't buy from this POS.
Thank you for your review, Graham! The reason that we charge a restocking fee is to keep costs, and ultimately our prices, down for our customers. When you buy from a company that has no restocking fees, you pay for returns that the company handles, indirectly, through higher prices. There are a lot of costs associated with processing an order, as well as returning an order. Most companies do build it into their initial pricing, but we try to charge it only when it is needed.
Our returns policy is listed on our site: https://www.webstaurantstore.com/policies.html#Returns_Policy
Please feel free to contact us at Help@Webstaurantstore.com with your order number if you have any additional questions or concerns.
We bought a sink several months ago. Unfortunately, when we unboxed the packaging, we saw a large dent. We weren't able to unbox the sink quickly enough to meet the company's return policy terms. So, we ate the cost and bought another one. This time, we opened immediately, and the new sink was dented in the same spot! We sent an email to the company letting them know and go this response back:
"Thank you for reaching out to us. I apologize that your sink arrived with the front dented. With cosmetic denting on units that would still be functional, we would offer a partial refund or store credit. I can offer a 25% item credit."
Uhhhh... we didn't purchase a scratch and dent. We expected an undamaged product and paid full price for it. This response doesn't even reflect their listed shipping and return terms of service. What a joke.
Thank you for your review Brent! I am sorry that your sink arrived to you damaged! We do ask to be notified within 5 business days of any damages to be able to work on a resolution for you, and we appreciate you following up with us in a timely manner with this most recent order.
We do offer a partial discount as many of our customers are willing to keep the item "as is" for a discount since they anticipate that the equipment will receive cosmetic damage over time with use. We like to be able to provide resolutions that will work best for our customers, and understand that a partial discount is not everyone's preferred resolution. If this offer does not work for you. Please feel free to follow up with us at Help@Webstaurantstore.com and include your order number. We are happy to look into this situation further for you!
Placed and order and item was damaged during delivery, no one got in touch until I called FedEx. Very poor customer service.
Thank you for your review, Adam. While I could not locate your order with the information provided, I am sorry to hear your product was damaged during delivery. If you ever receive a product that is damaged, or do not receive an order at all, please notify us within 5 business days and we will be happy to resolve this for you. If this situation is still ongoing, please email help@webstaurantstore.com so we can assist you.
Just stay away. I was sent a lamp, drop shipped from manufacturer, and the bulb thing was dangling with loose screws in the box. I tried to take it apart to screw then in but realized the screws were the wrong size. It's cumbersome, hard to reach, I wanted to return it and get a new one and they said they would send new screws. I won't be able to assemble it, I bought an "assemble and finished lamp" They pointed out that the fine print doesn't allow returns. Bad service! BEWARE!
Thank you for your review, Ric. While I was not able to find your order with the information provided, I am sorry to hear that your product arrived and was not intact as it should have been. Typically, we will try to send replacement parts to resolve situations, as it would still mean the product is new and able to be used. If this product is not able to be fixed with the replacement pieces, and this is still ongoing, please email help@webstaurantstore.com so we can assist you.
I live in Wisconsin and am partial to Korbel Manhattans. But for some reason, you can not find manhattan mix anywhere in our state. Lots of Old Fashion mixes, but for me those are too sweet. I found the Manhattan mix on line almost a year ago at WebstaurantStore, and have continued to order. I'll probably never go back to the local liquor stores, as their price, even with shipping costs, are more competitive than just buying from local businesses, that is if I can find it. I tried to add an image of purchase, but the web site would not respond to the + Add Image icon.
Thank you for your review, James. We are glad that you have enjoyed our website, products, and pricing! If you have any questions or need any assistance, please email help@webstaurantstore.com and we will be glad to assist.
My older son bought a Toaster for me at Christmas. It never arrived. My younger son bought from Levi's and it was not delivered 3 times, they gave up. All shipments came from OnTrac. Both my older son and I tried to get then to refund his money or send another toaster and/or at least say they will not use OnTrac. They said the Toaster was delivered 12/2 and they will only honor a No Delivery for 5 days. Now it seems to me, believing the Driver over a recipriant is a problem. This is not someone you want to work with. There are many places you can buy ITEMS, use the other companies.
Thank you for your review Bart! I am sorry for any frustration surrounding your order. When the order was shipped on 11/30 the tracking information was emailed. We send this directly to our customers so that they can keep an eye on their shipment and know when to expect it. The carrier delivered this order on 12/1 and we were not notified until 1/24 that it was not received. We only have a short window of time to start a trace investigation with the carrier, and our site does outline that we need to be notified within 5 business days in order to provide a resolution.

Buyer Beware! Not as shown - refer to data sheet - every size listed shows a picture of the six inch faucet no matter what size it is. Pretty darn lazy on behalf of WebstaurantStore.com website developer - there is a link to the data sheet but the pic for every size listed is the six inch faucet. So if you are buying a larger size that is not what you are going to receive. The data file is more clear but none the less - expressed or implied warranty of merchatability - you are not getting what you see. Here is my problem - with any other on line vendor they will make an acceptation for this and waive the shipping and or restocking fee. In this case? Oh no. I'll get less than half of my money back after paying to ship the item back and paying a restocking fee. For this? I'll take my future business to amazon, Ferguson, etc. I understand your restocking fee for a customer who changed their mind but you need to do a better job of clearly representing what you are selling. I also bought another item from you that was not as advertised - went round and round with on line chat people about it and NEVER got a resolution. That was sold as stainless steel but is clearly chrome plated steel and a magnet sticks to it. So in that case you sold me a ten dollar item for 4x the price and won't do anything about it. Shame on you.
Thank you for your review, John. I could not locate your order with the information provided, and am sorry to hear the product ordered is not what you need. For our products, we will list the exact dimensions and the size of the product either in the title of the item, within the details of the product, or in a specification sheet on the product page. We encourage customers to review each item and its specifications in order to determine if the product is right for them. With regards to stainless steel, there are multiple types, including type 430, that are magnetic. It is not accurate that all stainless steel is non-magnetic. With regards to returns, the reason that we charge a restocking fee is to keep costs, and ultimately our prices, down for our customers. When you buy from a company that has no restocking fees, you pay for returns that the company handles, indirectly, through higher prices. There are a lot of costs associated with processing an order, as well as returning an order. Most companies do build it into their initial pricing, but we try to charge it only when it is needed. If you have any questions about these processes or products, please let us know.
If I could, I put her ZERO star. The quality of the products are very poor and the return policy is terrible. I am looking for another suppliers

Ive spent $6600 in the past two years and never had a return. I bought a $212 accessory for a food processor that I realized I already bought the same one from Webstaurant a year ago. They won't waive the $60 restocking fee on an item that fits in my hand no less.
What a foolish business model not to waive this or bring it down to a reasonable amount... They would rather give up all future purchase of mine for a BS 30% restocking fee. Not to mention I am buying for my business which they say is 20% but Im charged 30% as a residential buyer. What IDIOTS!
NEVER would I buy even a toothpick from them again

I ordered a low dollar metal item that was a little out of square when I recieved it. I contacted the company via online chat and explained the issue. He set up a replacement shipment before we ended the conversation. No one is perfect. So, my item had a little issue. The service to rectify it was top notch. I most definitely will order from them again. I am not in the restaurant business, but the prices on bakeware is very good. You get a discount for order a few more than the home cook probably needs, but if you order several different items, you can put together several very nice, inexpensive but professional, bakeware baskets to have on hand for wedding and shower gifts.
Thank you for your review and kind words, Cynthia! We are thrilled that you have enjoyed our products, website, and our service. If you have any questions, or if you need any assistance in the future, please let us know and we will be happy to help!

So, I bought the Hobart Equivalent of the 20 qt mixing bowl for my Hobart HL200 Legacy Mixer from Webstaurant because it stated on the page that my mixer model was compatible with my mixer. Placed the order, waited over a month for it, and then it came and didn't fit. Customer service has stated that even though I had the right model mixer, because my model is an "older variation" that's why the bowl didn't fit and that's not their problem. So, if you're reading this and ever see equivalent on the listing, DON'T BUY IT. If you buy it and it's not compatible, you're out of luck. Before this experience, I thought WebstaurantStore was great. Now, I'm gonna think twice before doing business with them.
https://www.webstaurantstore.com/hobart-equivalent-legacy-20-qt-plastic-mixing-bowl/*******093.html This is what I bought, and it is not compatible with the Hobart HL200-1STD even though it says it is.
Thank you for your review, Janet. While I could not locate your order with the information provided, I was able to pull up the item number that you purchased. This is a Hobart Equivalent product, and is not actually from Hobart. While this is designed for HL200 mixers, they are designed for more recent models. The HL200 mixers have changed in variation with regards to how the bowls or attachments will fit to the mixer. We do not guarantee this will fit, and encourage customers to reach out to us with their model and serial numbers prior to purchasing attachments. We can then confirm with the manufacturer whether the attachments/bowls will fit the older model or not. If there are any questions, please email help@webstaurantstore.com and we will be happy to assist.
Hello,
I'm following up on your griddle and the pilot lighting issue you're having. My product team said that sometimes the elements of being in a food truck in colder weather can knock a pilot light out, but they also noted the area may be clogged, causing difficulty in lighting the pilot. Can you take a look to see if there is any clogging in the unit or if anything is obstructed? I look forward to your reply.
Thank you,
Christian M. | (http://webstaurantstore.com/) *WARNING*: Hyperlink has been removed
Hello,
Thanks for your reply and for clarifying what you're seeing here. I'm sorry this is still not working for you. My recommendation here would be to have a local technician look at it to see if the problem with the pilot can be fixed. This unit comes with a 6-month warranty, but when used in a food truck, the warranty period is 30 days - so it would not be in effect at this time. Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns.
Thank you,
Christian M. | WebstaurantStore
My response:
You aren't telling the truth. That was not stated in any advertising and I wasn't asked where I would be using the grill. On the phone you stated that the warranty was 6 months from time of installation. Now, you're tell me something else. Don't lie to me just tell me you guys aren't going to stand by the warranty. I will be sharing this email in my review of you guys. At the end of the day, your company should hire me because I know more than you tech team. Yea, I fixed the grill myself. And none of what you asked me to do was the issue.
Thank you for your review, Travis. We are sorry to hear that you had trouble with your griddle and the pilot light. Because equipment does not last as long in food trucks due to ambient temperature and other contaminants in the air, warranties have changed within the last few months and warranties are only valid for that 30 days. Because this has not been updated on our website and on the item page of the product you bought, we will honor the original warranty of 6 months. A representative will be in contact with you to resolve this.
My orders came damaged and been dealing with customer service for 20 days and in the end they don't want to return it or give me refund. No more order from them any more
Thank you for your review, Ahmed. We are sorry to hear that you received a couple refrigerators that were damaged in transit. I could not locate your order with the information provided, but if this is still an ongoing issue please email help@webstaurantstore.com so we can continue to assist you.
Never order from this website. I was charged $28 for 2 day shipping to have my order by Christmas. I placed my order on the 15th and it was supposed to be here by the 19th. On the 23rd I requested to cancel, since it had not been shipped yet. They said it would be cancelled. On the 26th I sent another email as it was still showing "pending". Now DEC. 31st, they are shipping an item I no longer need, and telling me it cannot be cancelled. Horrible. My shipping is just as much as the product I ordered, and I had to wait over 2 weeks to be sent?
Thank you for your review, Robert. We are sorry to hear the blue crabs did not arrive in time for your event. Some food products, such as blue crab meat, are special order items. The item details page will list this as such. Because this is a special order, we are not able to guarantee expedited delivery dates. We include the following information on these special order foods directly on the item page: "Because this item is not stocked in our warehouse, processing, transit times and stock availability will vary. If you need your items by a certain date, please contact us prior to placing your order. Expedited shipping availability may vary. We cannot guarantee that this item can be cancelled off of the order or returned once it is placed." If you have any questions about this process, please let us know.
Nice people and nice services and reasonable price this is my second command...

Answer: Thank you so much for your question, Darlene! We do not sell our products under any other name on the internet. If you have any questions about purchasing, please reach out to Help@WebstaurantStore.com or our chat service.
Answer: Thank you for your question, Len. We do our best to offer the lowest prices possible per item. One way we do that is to not include the shipping cost into the prices of our products. As a result, we do charge the full shipping cost on each of our orders. It is our hope that we offer a low enough price on our items to still offer a competitive total price, even with the shipping cost included. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to us at Help@WebstaurantStore.com. Thank you for your response, Giusel. I'm sorry that your orders have arrived damaged. Our warehouses do package each shipment with care to ensure that your items arrive intact and undamaged. However, there is still a small chance of accidents occurring in transit. If you experience any issues with your order upon delivery, please let us know as soon as possible and we will get this resolved for you. I am unable to locate your order without your order number, email address or information used to place your order but if this issue is still ongoing, please reach out to us at Help@WebstaurantStore.com.

Answer: Hello Susan, Thank you for your question! Do you have an item number that I could reference? It does sound odd that the price would jump from one part on the website to the shopping cart.
