I would not do business with this company. I received my order with several bud vases broken and when I asked for a return RMA number to return the broken products back and asked for a refund with proof of the order being received with multiple broken items they replied back asking for still more photos! Seriously I will never buy from this company again, and I would never recommend trying them as they will not resolve the issue or give you your money back for BROKEN products!
I placed an order for 7 cafe tables and 30 chairs. One cafe table came damaged, one had a missing leg, and one table was not cut straight. I contacted customer service and they will not send me any replacements. I spent over $5,000. Do NOT buy anything from this company.
Thank you for your review, Ernie. I am very sorry to hear that your table arrived with damage and also that one arrived with a missing leg. I was able to review your order and can confirm that the tables you received were cut according to the design of the manufacturer. This was not an error or defect, but rather the specific design of the table. I also see that 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 need to prove to the carrier that this is damage that happened in transit and not while in your possession. I see that the representative who was in contact with you through this process was able to get this resolved for you, but should you have any further questions or concerns, please contact us at help@webstaurantstore.com.
I was very pleased at how quickly my order arrived. I was also pleased at finding all but one item that I needed to put into my pantry during this epidemic that's invaded our country. They asked if I wanted an email when the item was back into stock and they did. The only thing that I was disappointed with was the shipping costs. I was hoping that they would ship my order for free being that I had spent over $400. Maybe as a suggestion for a non-business person or establishment, if an order became over, or at $100.00 they would only charge a $5 or $10 shipping charged. This would help a person or family very much.
Thank you for your review, Teresa! We carry thousands of items on our site and we are constantly adding and updating products, so feel free to check out our site often as we add items almost daily. 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. Should you ever experience any issues or have any concerns, please reach out to us at help@webstaurantstore.com and we would be happy to assist you!
Quality products affordably priced and it doesnt take long to receive. Have great green options that dont compare to local restaurant stores in my area. Thank goodness for webstaurantstore.com

... but the shipping is a lot for me. Suppose that is not their fault, but overall I am happy with all my Webstaurant Store purchases. I have purchased food for personal consumption, kitchen utensils, large SS tables, etc. for my small business.

All they wanna do is send you a 3rd party company that fixes your equipment. Takes weeks for them to come. Then all of a sudden it's out of warranty... they are the worst buy elsewhere
Thank you for your review, Dave. When an item is defective or there is an issue with its workmanship, the resolution will be provided through the item’s warranty, which is listed on the item’s page. When an item has a warranty provided directly through the manufacturer, the defect or the issue with workmanship will need to be resolved by the manufacturer. I was not able to locate the order with the information provided, but if you can send an email regarding this to help@webstaurantstore.com and put it to the attention of Cassandra B, I can look into this for you further.
Very impressed with the selection. I will definitely be using your online store again. Can't wait to check out the merchandise.

Always have an easy time with orders and no goof ups! Have never had an issue that I can complain about.

I always know that shopping will be easy and fast! We've used this company for years and have never had any problem with any shipment. Thanks so much!
Thank you for your review, Barbara! I am glad to hear that you have had a pleasant experience. We certainly appreciate your kind words and continued business!. Should you ever have any questions or concerns, please reach out to us at help@webstaurantstore.com.
So easy to order from here. Orders are prompt. Every thing I have ordered has been just what expected.
Thank you for your review, Karen! I am so happy to hear about your ordering positive experience. Should you ever have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to email us at help@webstaurantstore.com.
We ordered a sink and realized it would not work. Contact them within 24 hours and it had not been shipped. We were told it was too late. We asked to speak to a supervisor and were refused. Finally, contacted our bank to stop payment. Told them and they said it was shipping but it hadn't. Now they have sent us a notice that it would show up at the end of the week and it would cost $399 to return a $600 sink. They finally gave us a phone number and guess who picked up! We are a non-profit school and money is not rolling in. This has been a terrible experience. They are about the least reasonable, user unfriendly vendor we have ever experienced. When we do buy a sink with the right specs it will not be from them. I hate writing this but this is just bad.
Thank you for your review, Stan. When an order reaches a certain point in the shipping process and the shipment information is sent to the carrier, the order is no longer able to be canceled or altered in any way. Once an order is placed, we cannot guarantee that it can be modified or canceled. In terms of the return, 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. I was unable to locate the order for you with the given information, but if you can email us at help@webstaurantstore.com and put it to the attention of Cassi B, I can certainly take a look at this for you.
Placed in cart. Then next day they increased by ten dollars. Contacted them and they gave me a coupon code that did not work. You think they could of worked with me. They said it went off sale the next day. Not a team player.
Thank you for your review, Dominic. 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 further questions or concerns about this, please contact us at help@webstaurantstore.com.
When our supplier is out of a product, we have to search the internet for what we want. Webstaurant Store Website is always the lowest price (and we check multiple sites) we know every bits helps when you can save a several dollars on an order. Speedy delivery and great service.
Thank you for your review, Tammy! I am happy to hear that our customer service, fast delivery and wholesale pricing work so well for your needs. If you ever have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to contact us at help@webstaurantstore.com!

Worst company I dealt with
When you do a return
1 / they take restocking fee of 22 $
2/ or they buy from a third party then you cannot return the articles...
Their answer:
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 canceled off of the order or returned once it is placed."
Due to the restriction that the manufacturer has for this item, we can not return the item. As this is not stocked in our warehouse we can not return to us. You are more than welcome to sell the items locally or on the internet to get some of your costs back.
At this time we can not offer any further resolution or options for return. I do apologize for any frustration that this may have caused.
My answer let my bank deal with this on line fraud

This is the second time I have ordered from webstaurantstore. Both times were very simple. My first order arrived on time and is an excellent product that I use almost daily.
Thank you for your review, Clarissa! We appreciate your business and kind words. I am so glad that the ordering process was so simple and that the product suits your needs so well.

Ordered canoe cut femur bones from WebstaurantStore.com. Picture and description clearly show full length canoe cut bones, weighing approx. 3/4 lb. each. What I received was 10 lbs. of small, irregular cut bones, some even in thin slices. I ordered the bones for my large dog. I cannot feed him any of this; the bones are too small. When I pointed out during our chat session the discrepancy of their description and picture and what I actually received, all they kept saying was they sent me the correct product. I even sent a picture of what I received (bones in the bag) and the pic of the bones from their site (full size bones) and they still wouldn't budge. They even went so far to tell me that their femur bones are for restaurant use and that I shouldn't feed them to my dog. LOL! If I can't feed their cow bones to my dog, I sure as heck won't feed it to people.
UPDATE: Their response to my review is pretty much what they told me when I participated on a live chat. The bones I received ARE NOT FULL LENGTH canoe cut femur bones as pictured on their website. They have all been cut in half or thirds lengthwise. Of course they were cut canoe style to expose the marrow; that's the whole point of the product and why I ordered it to begin with! As for whether I should feed these to my dog or not is none of their business and they should have kept their opinion to themselves. My VET has agreed raw marrow bones are a wonderful treat for my dog and whole heartedly encourages it. As it turns out, I found a local butcher who provides me with the full-length canoe cut femur bones I need.
Thank you for your review, Lillian. I was able to locate you order to look into this further. The bones you received are canoe cut because they were cut down the middle to expose the bone marrow. We try to provide the most accurate images of our products as possible. However, some product images prove difficult or impossible to obtain. In these cases, we will use the closest representative image we can find for the product. Therefore, we recommend that you carefully read the product description and other related product literature such as Specification Sheets, SDS Sheets, etc., before placing your order. If you have any questions or concerns about a product after reading the description and product literature, please contact us prior to placing your order. This item is intended for commercial restaurant cooking purposes and is described as such on the item’s page. This would not be recommended to be fed to a dog as we recommend all products on our site to be used in commercial settings. 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.
Please beware before ordering through webstaurant! They put false information behind a product that even the manufacturer said wasn't on their spec sheet. After we brought it to their attention they told us they would not return the unused product. Basically they said "Try and resale your $2,400 piece of equipment. It's now yours." It's the worst customer service I've ever experienced. We will be taking them to small claims court. DON'T ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY. THEY DO BAD BUSINESS!
Thank you for your review, Veena. I was able to locate your order and looked into this for you. I see that we worked on this with the manufacturer and they confirmed that this unit can hold approximately 144 plates, but this figure will greatly depend on the dish profile and height. We do list this approximate figure on the item’s page. They also confirmed that the unit takes 2-3 hours to warm the plates. I am very sorry that this unit did not hold the quantity of plates that you needed it to. We do ask that our returns be unused, still in the original packaging and free of damage. Because plates have been put into the unit, we were not able to set up a standard return of it. 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.
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: Thank you for reaching out, Tina! I do not see your order number with the information provided, but if you reach out to help@webstaurantstore.com or use our LiveChat feature on the website, and our customer service team will be happy to help!
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. Our prices are based on live pricing from the manufacturer, but if it was an instant jump in price, we can certainly look into this for you. Please email help@webstaurantstore.com or feel free to use our live chat, and we will be happy to assist and look into this!
Answer: Hello Patrick, Thank you for your question. Please feel free to reach out to help@webstaurantstore.com or use our live chat with the amount you were charged and the date of the charge, and our Customer Solutions Specialists will be happy to look into this for you. For customer security, please do not include your full credit card number.

Thank you for your review, Ladona. When an item arrives damaged, we do ask for photos so we can get the situation resolved for you. In an instance where a majority of the order arrives damaged, we would need photos showing the complete damage to all of the affected items. When something arrives damaged and is reported to us within 5 business days of delivery, we can certainly refund you for the damaged pieces. Since there were pieces from the shipment that were not damaged, if you no longer wanted or needed them, they would process as a standard return. I was able to review your order and see that my colleague, Taylor, was able to resolve this with you. Should you have any further questions or concerns, please contact us at help@webstaurantstore.com.
