Worst tasting fish sticks that I have ever tasted. I purchased a box of item #******* Pollock fish sticks. Order Date: March 9,2022 The photo looks like cut and breaded Pollock loins, the only review they show claimed "best tasting fish sticks" supposedly from a customer review.
I am a self claimed Fish condenser, I know how good fish should look & taste. I was part owner of a fish farm for 12 years raising the tastiest rainbow trout you could find "eat my fish"

I received a table top fryer from company. It was grungy and somewhat beat up. I called and sent photos to customer service. Within two days a new unit arrived via FedEx. CS was polite, efficient, and very helpful. Did everything right!

Found at my door with busted open box and mud on the table. Absolutely no packing to protect table. Just a cardboard box for a very heavy item. Scratched and dented. Legs were out of there protective sleeves for some reason. "I don't care packaging" and a "I don't care shipper" equals terrible product delivery. Won't buy from again!

I always check here first for professional kitchen goods. Whether for my own use at our house, or the community kitchen I volunteer at, I find the price to be competitive and the service and support outstanding. My experience with their service department comes from the first order placed with them in 2012. One of the items was damaged in transit. They got a replacement out right away. I have been a loyal customer ever since then.

The Chinese scale weighed me 50 Lbs lighter than my actual weight. When I tried to return it the company offered me half of what I paid and charged me $20 to ship it back on top of that. A sleazy company with crappy products. And they'll pay you to write a positive review.

Thank you for your review Patrick! 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 additional questions please feel free to live chat with us, or you can email us at help@webstaurantstore.com.

The Worst Return Policy
December 7, 2022

I ordered a waffle maker, for $ 672. But it is difficult to use it because the waffle keeps burning and sticking to it. At first, I tried to refund on the web. When I finished the return request, it says that the customer service center will contact me for further return processing. But no one responded for several days. After that, I sent the email for a return with reason, and they rejected the return because I already used it. Is it ridiculous! How do I know whether this waffle maker has the problem or not. There seems to be a big problem with this company's refund policy, so I think we need to find a legal solution. If there are people like me, it would be nice to respond together.

Thank you for your review Tae and I am so very sorry to hear that you are experiencing an issue with your unit! While our return policy does state that an item does have to be unused and in the original packaging, this situation seems to be a bit different and I would recommend reaching out to our Customer Solutions department to inquire about the warranty on the unit. You can reach them directly at our live chat option or email at help@webstaurantstore.com.

Bad Business
February 19, 2021

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.

Buy from another company
September 19, 2022

Do not buy from Web restaurant they sell chip, dented defective equipment. And the people that they hire to deliver the equipment hurries up and drops off the equipment outside the door and they takeoff no time to inspect in front of them. By the time you open the equipment which is on Pellets and wrapped like a cocoon. You find is defective, You contact the company and there's nothing they can do for you. You only have 5 days to report damage! Please save your money and go to another place customer service is horrible!

Zero integrity
July 17, 2019

Was interested in a particular product that had to be special ordered, furnishings for a trade show booth. Before I ordered, I asked them to confirm the lead time. They spent a few days getting that exact date. The window they quoted was about a month out, but was workable, so I placed our order. I checked back repeatedly over the next few weeks and was affirmed everything on track. Then when we got to the actual shipping window, they delayed the order by several more weeks. We just spent $$$ on furniture that will arrive after the event, and meantime are scrambling around the Bay Area traffic scene to find a replacement. They don't have a care in the world though.

Thank you for your review, Bob. I am sorry to hear that items that you were ordering for your trade show ended up having a delayed ship date past the date of the event. We do our best to provide the best estimates possible to confirm when items will ship before placing an order with us. Then once we have the order in our system and then the manufacturer, in this case, provides the estimated ship date based exactly on the order. I do apologize for the inconvenience, but we are unable to guarantee a ship date or delivery date for these specially ordered items. I am unsure of what was ordered and I am unable to look into the order now, but if you email us at Help@WebstaurantStore.com with the order number and put it to the attention of Emily A, I am happy to take a look and see if there is any way for the manufacturer to meet your need by date. I look forward to hearing from you!

Bad News - Don't use them
January 28, 2021

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.

Run don't Walk away
August 17, 2020

Beyond regrettable buy, shame on me for not buying local! I purchased a wine refrigerator for $1400 dollars plus shipping, it was brand new, the part that was concerning to me is there was a stipulation of no returns on this product, i thought well it's brand new what do i have to really worry about? I called the toll free number to confirm there's no return on a new product and he confirmed it, strange as it was i thought it would be fine! WRONG right out of the box it did not cool, it turned on but would not cool one degree! Triple read the owners manual, called the toll free number off the company, it's in France btw totally different time zone! In short i was stuck with a expensive and new paper weight! Don't give this company your business! They don't have a showroom or a physical store there just a Broker! Save the headache and buy local.

Thank you for your review, Doug. I am sorry that your wine refrigerator is not working! WebstaurantStore does not hold title to any warranties. If a product is not working properly, it would go through the warranty provided by the manufacturer. This information can be found here: https://www.webstaurantstore.com/policies.html#Product_Policies. If the situation is still ongoing, please reach out to help@webstaurantstore.com and we can try reaching out to the manufacturer on your behalf.

They have 6 locations for faster shipping, but for my order they shipped all the way from PA across the country in 8 days to CA. Of course you only find out after you place the order. They don't let you cancel because it is being processed. What a BS!
Never again!

Thank you for your review, John. I am sorry to hear that your order took longer than expected to arrive! While we do not have stock counts displayed on our site, we do have customer service available 7 days a week via our online chat system, email, as well as by phone and we are always happy to check where the stock is located and estimate how long it would take to arrive to you. We do have 6 warehouses that we ship from, but not all items are stocked in every location since we do have over 250,000 products available on our site and we do not have that much space in every location at this time.

Since we do pride ourselves on quick processing in order to get in-stock orders out within 1 business day or less, we only have a small window of time in order to cancel or makes changes to an order once it is placed. We always recommend reaching out to us with any questions that you may have before placing the order so that we can make sure that what you are ordering will work for your needs and that your expectations are met.

If you have further questions or concerns that you need to be addressed, please feel free to reach out to us at Help@WebstaurantStore.com.

Defective items
October 18, 2021

Ordered 20 some Lancast chairs and one was damaged during transit. I filed a complaint and they responded with apologies but decided no action taken. Disappointed. Also a black board sign was defective too but they don't do anything to customer's complaint. Even though it seems like a good deal but if the product is damaged or defective, they won't care.

Terrible!
January 12, 2017

I've been using you guys for awhile and have had minor issues here and there but recently have had more and more issues. Currently I'm still waiting to receive an order I placed on January 1st and when I contacted your customer service department via online chat. She basically told me it's my responsibility to find out where my order is not hers? Your customer service department was extremely rude! You guys took my money and 2 weeks later I have yet to see my products? Terrible experience!

Bull $#*! company
October 12, 2022

They have a horrible return policy. I've ordered for by business but will never order again.
Made a mistakes on sizes and asked for returning the same day of their delivery After Shipping and their 20% restocking fee, it's barley worth returning, and they said they will not proceed to take it back Do not support this site

Thank you for your review Mauro! 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 paid over $300 extra for their White Glove Delivery as indicated on their website. When the products were delivered, they brought them in a dropped them off without unpacking and verifying the condition. Refuse to compensate for this service. This company is a rip-off.

Orders
September 28, 2022

I accidentally duplicated an order for a 60 in gas range and then contacted them within 2 hours to cancel the order. They refused and pretended it has already processed. That is not true.
So they are going to charge me a huge return fee and shipping fee for nothing. I can buy whatever I need thru amazon or katom. I still have 10 appliances to purchase and will never use webstaurant again. They are charging me $1117. 88 to cancel an order I placed 2 hours prior.

Great products, great service. This store is on my short list when I shop for supplies. I've ordered multiple times from this store. Once, a package was damaged in shipment (fault of the carrier) and WebstaurantStore took care of the problem immediately. No questions asked. That's the kind of service I expect and what keeps me coming back.
