Bought 10 bucket seats for my stools, their measurements on their website are less than accurate. When I asked for them to be returned they told me that I was out of my 30 day return policy.

We got done doing our remodeling and went to put the stools on and they don't fit and offered no resolution or resolve.

If your thinking of buying equipment. Think twice before you do business with this company.

I'm out 350.00 and was in the process of buying under counter fridges that they will not be considered for.

Thank you for your review, Mike. Most items on our website will have compatibility charts or link to products that they are compatible with. If you have questions regarding compatibility, you can always reach out to us via live chat or our email at Help@Webstaurantstore.com.
All regularly stocked items, with the exception of consumable products, can be returned within 30 days of receipt, so long as they are unused and in the original packaging. A return credit will be issued to the original payment method upon receipt and inspection of the product(s). Shipping charges paid at the time of checkout will not be credited along with the return. An applicable restocking fee will be deducted from the amount due. Customers are responsible for the cost of return shipping. This includes any brokerage fees, duties, and taxes for international returns.
If we sent you the incorrect items, or if the seats were guaranteed to be compatible with your stools, please reach out to Help@Webstaurantstore.com and put it to the attention of Jarrod V. and I can look into this further for you.

High Shipping
April 1, 2020

Great product lines and parts availability. Shipping is a bit too high though. My product selection was less than the shipping cost. This makes it undesirable to order online.

Thank you for your review, Denis. As a wholesale website, we do not include any of the shipping charges in the cost of the items. Therefore, we do have to charge shipping for each of our orders and we do not have any general shipping discounts. Be sure to watch out for the “Free Shipping” banner on select items throughout the site. If you have any other questions or concerns, please reach out to us at Help@Webstaurantstore.com.

Wrong waffle maker
March 31, 2020

We are a small restaurant and we were having problems with our waffle makers breaking often so I found Webstaurant and searched for a professional Belgium waffle maker. Somehow I ordered a regular waffle maker. I wanted to exchange it but they charge a $240 restocking fee! I decided just to return it and now they are trying to say it was used. We had it out of the box for 5 minutes and never used it. Just this one time they said will let it go and refund half of the $1300. Straight up theft. Do not use this company.

Thank you for your review, Naomi. 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. We do not accept exchanges because we want to make sure we have new, unused products available for our customers. If you have any other questions or concerns, please reach out to us at Help@Webstaurantstore.com.

We bought equipment from them thru a lender who paid them upfront as it is the lenders policy. We are small and did not have the funds. Once they were paid it was game over - they knew we could do nothing, and they treated us like absolute garbage. Dodged our issue for over 7 weeks, damaged/missing products. Then after almost 8 weeks would not refund us told us all they can do is issue us a store credit for the missing and damaged products. Horrible A hole corporate type company GO BUY FROM SOMEONE ELSE - you have been warned

Thank you for your review, AJ. I'm very sorry that there were so many issues with your order. Leasing orders do require us to communicate directly with the lender as they are the party who has paid for the order. When you lease an order, it does create limitations on resolutions and our ability to provide those resolutions if they're not reported to us in a timely manner. As to refunds, we are not able to refund on a leasing order since the payment came directly from a leasing company. Terms of a lease are not negotiated with Webstaurantstore directly and are between the customer and the leasing agency. We do not provide any leasing terms directly through Webstaurantstore. That being said, we do our best to resolve any situation and I want to look into this situation for you further. I was unable to locate your order with the information provided, so if you could please email us at help@webstaurantstore.com and put it to the attention of Jarrod, I can take a look at this for you.

I really appreciate the prompt deliveries and wide selection of items. I find prices to be much cheaper here than at the local 'big box' stores. I've been especially happy with all of the large items I've purchased (refrigerator, freezer, sinks, waffle iron.) I love that webstaurant provides pdf copies of warranties and product specs directly on the site. This has saved me so much time when applying for my health permits.

Made a purchase off the website and the item was delivered. After I opened the box and found out this was the wrong item I needed I contacted Customer Service right away. Box was opened but item was not taken out of the box and still wrapped in plastic. The item itself was not touched. Saw right away the item was unusable for what I wanted and needed it for. While chatting with Customer Service I was immediately told there would be a 30% restocking fee plus I needed to pay for return postage. I don't mind paying for return postage since it was my own mistake but I don't agree with a restocking fee of 30% when the item was never taken out of the box. I was also told they would not do exchanges. I also noticed this morning they have reduced the price of the item by $10.00 for this exact item. Just a warning read the fine print and the ratings, feedbacks before you decide to make a purchase from WebstaurantStore.

Thank you for your review, Loni. I apologize if we sent you the wrong item. If an item different than what was ordered is shipped, we will return it at no cost and provide a resolution, whether a refund or a reshipment of the correct item. If the wrong item is ordered, we do charge restock and return shipping fees as outlined in our Conditions of Use page found at the bottom of our homepage. 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. Pricing is real-time based on current inventory levels and market conditions so please note that they may change without notice. To lock in the lowest wholesale price you see on our site, we would suggest placing your order as soon as you can. If there are any extenuating circumstances that do not allow you to purchase right away, let us know and we can take another look into whether we anticipate any price changes from now until you plan to order. If you have any other questions or concerns, please reach out to us at Help@Webstaurantstore.com.

Poor customer service
March 25, 2020

Awful customer service this morning when I ordered a stainless table online then tried to reach someone to make a change on the order I ordered wrong size by mistake.
Can't talk to anyone! Online chat person awful! Lost 2 people in chat had to start over 2 times. They can't cancel order said it already shipped which is impossible!
I will reconsider shopping with them again. I would use caution ordering from them for sure!

Thank you for your review, Debra. I apologize if you were not able to reach out to us on chat. During the COVID-19 outbreak, our Customer Solutions remains open. We have advised all of our office employees to work remotely until further notice, but they are ready to assist. Please note that the Customer Solutions team members are communicating only through online chats and email at this time. We do pride ourselves on quick shipping so there will be situations where an order has processed beyond our ability to be able to cancel. If you have any more questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at Help@Webstaurantstore.com.

Ordered 3 sinks, 3 bay sinks got damaged badly, and other damages on utility sinks.
Refused to replace the items, because we didn't inspect the sinks upon arrival, despite the fact they wrap the entire 9 bulk products on top of each other on one pallet.

How can they expect us to unbox every item upon arrival before signing notes? That will take an hour!

Blame us for receiving the delivery without "damage" note, and that's it. No effort in processing the replacement. Only keep insisting on a small refund. Zero effort for replacement. Zero.
Zero customer protection and satisfaction. Awful management with their 3rd party carrier. We will not refer this company to our partners now.

Shop somewhere else.

Thank you for your review, Octa. We received the shipping documents and Proof of Delivery from the carrier showing that the damage was not noted when this was signed for. Signing the delivery slip states that the order was received in good condition unless otherwise noted. Since this is a legally binding document, we would now need to prove to the carrier that this is damage that happened in transit and not while in your possession. We understand that it may not be feasible to unbox all of the items at the time of delivery, but it is important to note any packaging damage that you see at the time of arrival on the Proof of Delivery Slip if you are unable to fully inspect the shipment. We also ask that you report any damage within 5 business days of delivery so we can file a claim with the carrier and win compensation for the damage for you. If the Proof of Delivery Slip is not noted for any packaging or item damage at the time of delivery, the resolutions we can offer will typically be limited. If you have further questions or concerns that you need to have addressed, please feel free to reach out to us at Help@WebstaurantStore.com.

Stay away. Bought several items from them and they were the wrong sizes a described in the description. Called 7 times to return and was told several times could not return? Than finally got a terrible representative and said could return and was going to be charged 20% restocking fee and also shipping! They ate terrible and also wanted pictures showing not opened and goes on (look pics) defiantly stay away. You might think your saving money and you are not! If things come damaged they tell you to go to there. We bought from webrestaurent and they direct ship to you and any problems they don't stand behind! Just shove you off!

Don't waste of time
March 20, 2020

I ordered some aprons for around $30 plus shipping came out to $51. Then was alerted later my address was incomplete. To complete the address and continue shipment I was charged another $14 so I paid. The whole shipment was then returned. No reason. They only offer a partial refund for returns and which I was still charged $27. For something that cost $30 and wind up with nothing was very disappointing. Things happen, whether I missed it or the system was at fault for the initial incomplete address. Who knows. So I offered to meet them in the middle just resend the whole thing and charge me again minus the refund. Basically clean slate reship even with a penalty charge. But They refused and I would end up paying almost $90 for aprons that cost $30. Not worth it anymore. I asked to speak with a manager and at first they were reluctant and deflected my request. Finally when the manager replied just reiterated what was previously said. No customer service. I was under the impression that Webstaurant was in the business of selling and shipping merchandise but I guess I was mistaken.

Thank you for your review, Winston. I am very sorry to hear that your shipment was returned. In terms of the address fee, when the carrier is unable to locate the provided address or it is showing to be invalid in any way, there is a standard fee imposed by the carrier to update the address once the shipment is in transit. In regard to the return, we do charge a restocking fee and return shipping cost for all standard returns, but if the return was solely the fault of the carrier, I certainly want to get this taken care of for you. I was unable to locate your order with the information provided, so if you could please email us at help@webstaurantstore.com and put it to the attention of Cassi B, I can take a look at this for you.

Cutlery as art
March 21, 2020

WebstraurantStore is where you can immediately find supplies to create art! Foraging is no longer required to locate supplies.

Thank you for your review, Thomas! I am glad to hear that you were able to find those supplies for your art and also that our site was easy to navigate! In terms of our shipping, since we do not absorb shipping costs into our wholesale prices, we do charge the full shipping charge for each order. These charges are calculated based on the weight, dimensions, and distance the order is traveling. Usually, the more you purchase at one time, the better your shipping cost will be per item. It is also more cost-effective to ship to a business as shipping rates are lower to commercial addresses. If you have further questions or concerns that you need to have addressed, please feel free to reach out to us at Help@WebstaurantStore.com!

Buyer Beware! I wanted to return an unused item which did not meet what we needed. Initially, they sent an email stating that the item could not be return. Then I had a IM chat with a representative who wanted to charge me 30% restock fee plus a return postage. When asked to speak to a supervisor or senior customer service representation by phone, I was informed that the they only service complaints via IM chat.

I have used they vendor in the past but didn't need to return an item. This was a horrible customer service experience. Plus the vendor tried to profit on a return item.

Unacceptable! Buyer Beware! Avoid this vendor at all cost.
