Rip-off artists! Stay away from this dishonest horrible company!

"Read the fine print - ALL of it if you shop or look at this site. The prices are low, but that's because they rip you off in the fine print.
I cancelled an item, but they shipped it anyway. Even though it NEVER arrived to me - they charged a "RESTOCKING FEE" of $1,000.00
hidden on my credit card statement. webstaurant said they had credited me fully, but alas, they lied. They kept a little for themselves, to the tune of $1000.00. My credit card company says there is nothing they can do about it- it is in the fine print of all purchases.
So this company will change you no matter what - even if you cancel something, you pay.
I'm furious & don't want this to happen to anyone else.
HORRIBLE online company

A rep from WebstaurantStore, Webstaurant Store, has responded:

“Hello, I apologize that you did not have a positive experience when ordering from us. The reason we charge a restocking fee is because we want to continue to keep prices as low as possible for our customers. When an item is returned, there are additional costs associated with processing the return. Companies that do not charge restocking fees pass the costs of their Returns Department onto their customers through higher priced items. Instead of raising our prices and charging every customer for return costs, we only charge a restocking fee for items that are a standard return. If you choose to purchase from us in the future and have questions about an item prior to purchasing, please reach out to us via our live chat or email and we can answer any questions that you may have.”

Poor Customer Service

"What a terrible experience. Just look at all the negative reviews. Don't expect anything but a hassle if anything goes wrong. Oh wait, you can expect something else if something goes wrong. You can expect to see a very small refund whether the fault is yours or not! Oh and be sure and scavenge hunt for any useful information you can find on the website. It could be hidden even though you would expect it to be prominently displayed. It could be disguised and hidden in the unlikely place under the heading "you may also need", that little box with the question mark that you have to click on. But what if you didn't click on that little box? Sorry sucker you lose! And if all that is not frustrating enough, be sure and participate in an online chat with a customer service rep. who is unwilling and unable to do anything to help you because "they aren't set up for exchanges". What they are set up to do is to deplete your refund quite efficiently. The hour I spent "chatting" with customer service was just priceless and equally as fruitless. I am now the proud owner of $75 of items that don't work. What a bargain!!"

For starting restaurants or existing ones this place is awesome

"I have been using them since I started my pizzeria. Overall, I love them. Not to mention, give their Avantco products a try, they are really good quality, and you can save alot over the so called named brands. The only negative, and what cost them the last star, is their shipping is pricey. They really need to offer more options then FedEx. They try to say, oh order more and it is cheaper, but lets be honest. FedEx is a application in the cart, that ties into the FedEx API. Your overall prices are great, but explain it how you like, the shipping is costly. But even with the shipping cost, alot of times it is still cheaper to get it through them rather then US Foods believe it or not.

Their shipping is fast though. So I guess your paying for speed is a good way of looking at it when your charged $40 for like a single box of plastic souffle cups and 8" togo tins.

Great deals for quality items

"I have ordered a number of items from Webstaurant over the past few years, obtaining restaurant quality dishes, glassware, bun racks (for non-food shelving use), paper products, etc. The items are always top quality and the prices are great. I recommend them to my friends all the time!"

$58 Restock Fee is unacceptable!

"I have ordered thousands of dollars worth of items from Webresraurant over the 4 years I’ve owned a small restaurant. I ordered what I thought was a Belgian waffle maker and apparently mistakenly ordered a classic one. I went to return it and Webrestaurant wants to charge a $58 restock fee on a $300 Waffle maker. Being a truly small business, I can’t afford to do that and buy a different one. Webrestaurant has no regard for small business and I caution you extremely to consider purchasing your items from a company that accepts returns without an excessive restock fee!!"

A rep from WebstaurantStore, Webstaurant Store, has responded:

“Hello, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are a wholesaler geared towards bulk ordering from businesses and pride ourselves in our low pricing. In order to maintain this low pricing, we don't have an exchange process. In the event of a standard return, the item would need to be sent back, and a restocking fee is deducted from the return credit for the added service of processing an item back into stock. If we did not have a restocking fee our prices would need to be higher in order to absorb the added cost. In the history of purchasing with us you have not had to pay any of these fees through higher prices, only when a return is required. We certainly understand your return situation wasn't ideal, but we hope that our low prices will make it worth trying us again in the future. If there are any questions about an item that we sell, we are more than happy to answer them so that a return can be avoided. We can be reached at help@webstaurantstore.com.”

Very bad service

"Very bad service, they sell your products and the description does not correspond to the product and then when you write to them they tell you that they do not guarantee the product"
