I bought a commercial refrigerator for over $3000. 00 with white glove delivery which was supposed to take an extra 5-7 days delivery. I didn't mind the wait though the cost for this special delivery was high. According to the tracking schedule my item was delivered to my city 8 days ago but I have not received the refrigerator yet. They told me it was going to be delivered last Saturday (Today is Tuesday) so I went into work on a normal day off to wait from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm for delivery. The delivery did not come because someone had the wrong contact number to reach me. I rechecked my order and had given the correct number. After numerous attempts to contact NSD the delivery company and also contact to Webstaurant, they have now rescheduled the delivery to tomorrow between 9:00 am and 1:00 pm. These are not my normal work hours and I will have to go in during this time to see if they show up. So far it is 15 days since the original purchase. I will never use this service or purchase from this company again.

Thank you for your review, Joan. I'm very sorry that your order was so delayed. While we do not guarantee transit times, it does sound like your order was delayed beyond the estimate. I would need to see your order to assess how to properly help you. I am unable to locate your order without your order number, email address or information used to place your order but if this is still ongoing, please reach out to us at Help@WebstaurantStore.com and put it to the attention of Jarrod. I will be able to assist you further.

I love the variety offered! Shopping is easy, Shipping is pricey though. I can't wait to see what other neat items I can find (when I can afford to ship them)

Thank you for your review, Sarah! I am happy to hear that you have had a good experience on our site! 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 ever have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us at Help@WebstaurantStore.com

Buy on Amazon instead
December 16, 2020

They sold us crappy forks and when we tried to return them they wanted to charge us for a 30% stocking fee plus the return shipping. I'm giving them to goodwill.

Thank you for your review, Elsa. While I could not locate your order, I am sorry to hear that you need to return the forks you purchased. 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 this process, please email help@webstaurantstore.com and we will be happy to assist.

This was my first and last time i will use this place. I seriously bought something small (deli containers). I didn't open any of the items, just the box before I realized that I accidentally ordered the wrong product. I thought, "no big deal. I'll just return them and get the right ones." Contacted customer service and was told i had to pay a 20%! Restocking fee and pay for the shipping on my own (which is already ridiculous) to be able to return them. And thats because I spoke to a senior advisor. IF I ordered just the lids, I would be responsible for pretty much a full repurchase (including high shipping cost again). NOWHERE NEAR THE PRODUCT DOES THIS SAY "BE AWARE OF THE 20% RESTOCKING FEE." The CS rep I spoke to says, "its in our policy." So, like that agreement any of us hardly read when you are signing a CONTRACT... yeah that one. They told me the best thing to do is just to personally sell them. Ha! What joke! I will never use them again! OH and all these positive reviews you see... they pay peoples to do reviews for them. Its on their website!

I needed a replacement hose but had a difficult time finding the part on the website. I was determined to find it so I did, but it took quite a bit of guessing to find the parts page.

Thank you for your review, Piece. I am sorry to hear that your ice cream freezer is not working. Many items will carry a warranty that we can work through to provide a resolution when a unit is no longer working or is defective. Those warranties do have a period of time in which they are valid but once they expire, the issue would no longer be covered under that warranty. I was unable to locate the order with the provided information, but if you can email us at help@webstaurantstore.com and put it to the attention of Cassandra B, I can look into this for you.

This review is regarding Order # *******. This company is one of the most unscrupulous businesses in from which I've ever purchased. My company needed a new coffee maker in our Building B break room. We had previously purchased one for our Building A break room which is almost identical to our Building A break room. Of course the coffee maker didn't fit in our Building B break room due to the difference in the depth of the counter there compared to Building A's counter depth. No big deal, correct? I will just pay closer attention to the depth of the coffee maker and order one that will fit the correct counter depth. Wrong! Webstaurant Store charges a 20% "restocking" fee plus the return shipping even if you intend to exchange the item for a proper sized one. I was actually going to spend more money to purchase the correct sized coffee maker. I can understand charging the customer a return shipping charge- that's fair- but 20% for basically opening a box and putting the item back on the warehouse shelf? This company is shady, and I will not be doing business with it ever again. The customer service skills of the Customer Solutions Specialist I've been dealing with is worse than any fast food worker you've ever encountered. She actually tries to justify the $90 Webstaurant has made off of me for doing nothing by saying this is how they keep prices low. Well, I see how this company keeps prices low now.

Thank you for your review, Josh. I'm sorry for any frustration with the return process. 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, that goes beyond placing the item back onto the shelf. The time spent helping customers with returns, the cost of warehouse employees processing the order in and out are some of the costs associated with a return. Most companies do build it into their initial pricing, but we try to charge it only when it is needed. 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.
That being said, I will have a Customer Solutions Representative reach out to you to discuss the return. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to reach out to us at Help@WebstaurantStore.com.

They Charged $6.00 for the part and $28.51 for shipping of a part about the size of a half dollar. I could have replaced the Coffee maker for what they charged in shipping.

Thank you for your review, Jim. 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. Certain items do ship for free, so 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.

Horrible experience
June 18, 2021

I had several placed my orders and realized I needed to change one of the orders. They cancelled the wrong order! By the time I realized it, I had a deadline and they refused to admit it was there mistake and waive the shipping fee. Other times I used them they order never came in on time, the items were always backordered and you are never notified until AFTER you purchase. I will never use them again
HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE

Thank you for your review, Caldarone. I apologize for the issues you have had with orders, and also apologize that I could not locate your orders with the information provided. We do not guarantee Ground delivery dates, and we also are not able to guarantee stock of products. While we do stock most items that we sell, we would suggest reaching out to customer service to double check stock or lead times if you have a specific need by date. We can check on the stock for you prior to you placing an order. If you have any questions about these processes, please let us know.

Ordered a BRAND NEW Beverage-Air BB48HC-1-GS-PT-B 48" Black Pass-Through Back Bar Refrigerator with Sliding Glass Doors - 115V * (item #185B48GSBPTH). For almost $3700. Unit delivered was obviously in a refurbished condition with scratches, extra screw holes, and PARTS MISSING (see photo). On top of that, after three service calls to replace MISSING parts and tune the controls, it still doesn't work, WebstaurantStore refused to pick up this used lemon and deliver a new one. Customer Service kept referring it to Beveage Aire who lied about the history of this particular unit (serial number). Borderline Scam and an incredible hassle. Luckily I documented with photographs and paid with a credit card, so had the CC company rescind the charge.

Thank you for your review, Craig. I am sorry that your unit arrived scratched and missing parts. While we never sell refurbished products, it does sound like your order arrived in a less than ideal condition. Warranties on the products on our site do go through the manufacturer as they hold the warranty and will best be able to help you. I am unable to locate your order without your order number, email address or information used to place your order but if this is still ongoing, please reach out to us at Help@WebstaurantStore.com and put it to the attention of Jarrod.

30% restocking fees. Are you kidding me? NOPE! They are friggen serious... No Matter your complaint, John R will respond with one of 5 standard POS responses trying to justify his pathetic job at a POS company. Bottom line is that Webstaurant will screw you over and justify it under the guise of cheaper prices. Then they want to charge $17 for me to print a return label on my own printer? How in the crap do they justify a policy like that? With so many successful online retailers with great customer service, its hard to believe that neanderthal companies like this are not yet extinct. No wonder Amazon is the largest company on the planet while this podunk company will likely be out of business soon since they hate their customers. Do not spend money at this company. It surprises me that reputable manufacturers would even sell to a company like Webstaurant. By reading all of the other complaints its blatantly clear Webstaurant, its management and employees don't give a flying fig so there's no chance they will improve. I'm just writing this review to hopefully save other unexpected consumers from wasting their money with such a horrible company. And just to be clear, POS does not stand for Point of Sale.

Satisfied Skeptic
January 10, 2017

I was cautious to purchase anything from this site due to the poor reviews, though I'm glad I took the chance because I couldn't be more satisfied.
My order arrived within a matter of days. Everything was well packed, in good condition, and all items accounted for. I was impressed with the quality of everything, too. Would certainly buy from them again!

If you're concerned whether this site is scammy, do be aware that it is a Google trusted store. I do a lot of online shopping, and being the frugal person that I am, I often come across "bargain" sites that may or may not be legitimate, so I'm a bit familiar with identifying scam sites. So far I haven't ordered from any duds, and this site is no exception.

I made a large order for wedding supplies... mostly disposable dining ware, cups, stirrers, even hot chocolate and sugar, as well as some baking/kitchen utensils. After placing the order, they'll provide you with an order number so that you can track its status. Because my order was so large, it had to be separated into several different shipments, and each had their own accurate tracking number. Everything I ordered had been shipped from within the US. They'll also send general status updates of your shipment to your email, and I really appreciated that.
