Need a Search Bar!!

"My order delivery is always very fast, the website looks great with lots of options to choose from. The only Huge draw back is no search bar on your chrome desktop website. I have to jump in and out of your website to find your search bar on google.com. (By typing in webstaurant on google.com your website name pops up and underneath your name is the search bar for your website.) This possess is very time consuming when you want to find lots of products quickly. Please add a search bar to your chrome desktop website."

“Hello and thank you for your review. As a wholesale website, the prices that we offer do not include built-in shipping costs. As a result, we do have to charge shipping for each of our orders and we do not have any sort of general shipping discounts. Because we are a site that specializes in bulk ordering, you will find the best shipping value by placing a larger order. In my experience, I have found that we usually have the best and lowest overall pricing compared to our competitors. If you have any questions, please feel free to email us at help@webstauranstore.com.”

I give them 2 stars for pricing and having everything you need. Service is horrible, they don’t honor coupons advertised on their HEADERs.

"Horrible customer service. Saw a sale on their HEADER and typed in the coupon code at checkout and nothing happened. I ordered anyways and contacted customer service, and all they said was sorry that coupon expired. I sent them a pic of their current website advertising the deal and all I got back was a “thank you for the info”.. Returns are crazy, its a 20% restocking fee and you pay for shipping so its not even worth it. "

“Hello Rick, I'm sorry you had an issue with your coupon code not working! 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 you. 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 frivolous returns 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.”

“Hello and thank you for providing us with a review. I do apologize that we did not send out the entire quantity that you ordered. When we do set up a reshipment, we generally will reship it via the same method it was originally ordered. We do however always process them with expedited processing so they move through the warehouse as quickly as possible. These missing items did ship out on a Friday afternoon and were delivered to you on that Monday. If you run into any other issues with this, or any order, please feel free to reach out to us at Help@Webstaurantstore.com. ”

Good and some of the bad

"First they pay customers for the reviews, for photos and videos. Nice to customers who get paid, but for those looking at products you gotta do your extra research on some things. We bought a couple rubbermaid trash cans. The listing showed it placed against a wall and said it "can be" placed against a wall or desk, but no where did it state it is "best" or "should be" placed against a wall. As a long-long time customer, I did a review. Turns out they really did not want customers to know this fact and they did not publish my "honest" review. If I am reading reviews, I hope I am reading the positive as well as any reviews that might have a bit of negative information. Honestly, the way they did it lowered my opinion of them considerably.

Speedy pleazy

"My experience with webstaurantstore was very fast because I knew what I wanted and check out was easy. The only thing I noticed is they do not have their contact information: address on their website. I will be happy to pay 35% of the cost with them than another company. "

The cart scared me at first...

"I have checked prices before on some items and shied away from ordering from Webstaurantstore.com because the price on a 20$ item was nearly as much as the item, so I went elsewhere on line. Today, I discovered something unexpected. I wanted to price out several items (total of 7, I believe) The shipping price for the first item, which weighed less than a pound, was a prohibitive $16 or $18. I persevered and placed a couple of more items in the cart only to find that my shipping charge was GOING
DOWN!!! Webstaurantstore.com has lost a couple of orders from me because I didn't understand this. I really like the company and the people are great but I was having difficulty justifying buying one or two items and having to pay, sometimes more for shipping than the product.

Your Live Chat doesn't know much

"ordered two bag in the box juices. the boxes they were in were open. apparently the adapters fell out. no problem but Chat gal wanted pictures (of and open box) and she would resend the order. PULEASE. just send me the adapters. she said they did't sell them. I said I would pay for them, I just need them soon. Found them on your web site. I ordered them and am happy. your chat people need to help not hinder. Dave"

“Hello Dave, I apologize that this order did not work out as your expected. I see that from the conversation we didn't have access to reship you just that broken item so we offered to reship the entire thing for you. I apologize if the reasoning behind the request for photos was not made clear. We ask for pictures in order to help us better assess both our shipping processes for improvement and to file a claim for the damage with our carriers. Since we are entirely online, this is the only way we can get this information from you. In the future if something like this were to happen again, please feel free to let us know and we can continue to work with you to resolve this. ”

The Year

"Been using webstaurantstore containers over 1 year. They have not let me down with pricing or shipping, except for the fact that now California residents get taxed and also prices fluctuate a bit but all in all I'm happy with these containers. "

NO REAL RETURNS

"I placed an order for some things I needed for a party. The items normally get to me within the week, so I placed the order on Monday and found out the shipment wouldn't get to me for two weeks. I explained to the company. Asked if I can return the items. They said, sure, but we will charge you 20% plus return shipping. I responded, "So, in other words, you make it so expensive for someone to make a return that they simply can't return items. Nice". I won't order from them again. Of the several orders I've placed with them over the past three years, both times I've needed to return something, they have come up with a way to keep me from returning items. The first time they just flat-out said I couldn't return the items. I had ordered cases of baking soda when I meant to order cases of baking powder. I asked if I could refuse the shipment and have them exchange the order out for the correct item (happy to pay the additional shipping) and they said no. They wouldn't exchange it for me. I hope this review keeps enough people from ordering that they will change their policies."
