The got it when you need it!

"Webstaurant store is an amazing online place to get what you need quickly and easily. The site is easy to navigate, all the major food service brands are here and ready to go. As a small caterer and private chef, my needs are few, but I was put on to this company by a major restaurateur! "

Stainless steel table

"I received table with two dents in top and no damage to box. They initially offered me 10% refund which was $7.50. I settled for $20 but after thinking about it that wasn’t even close the shipping charge to take it back. After asking for replacement top they said the deal was made — too late. I will never buy from them again."

A rep from WebstaurantStore, Webstaurant Store, has responded:

“Hello Randy, I apologize that the tabletop that you received was damaged upon arrival! It is correct that sometimes in these instances if the unit is still functional we would offer a partial credit in lieu of a reshipment. In this case, since that credit was agreed to and submitted back to you, we consider that an agreeable resolution. If you were to purchase from us again, we would hope that nothing would arrive damaged, however, if it does happen we would be happy to work together to come to a resolution. If you have any questions please feel free to email us at help@webstaurantstore.com. ”

Lots of choice, expensive shipping

"I was looking for vacuum sealer bags. Choice and price are excellent. However I was shocked when my order of less than $24 was going to cost more than $20 to ship!"

Terrible customer service and SLOW shipping

"Ordered products on December 18 for Christmas gifts to employees. Customer service was useless--kept reading from a script and wouldn't answer questions. Received notice they shipped 12/26!! UPS shipping was over priced. BUY ELSEWHERE!!!

“Hello Ron, I apologize that these items did not arrive to you before the date you wanted them to arrive. We do list on the item's page that these food items are special order products that would ship directly to you from the manufacturer. They ship their orders Monday - Wednesday. In order to guarantee the arrival date, you would want to purchase with expected shipping, otherwise it would process in standard time behind expedited orders. If you were to place a new order, please feel free to chat with one of our customer solutions representatives and we can give you an idea of the transit time. If you have any questions, please feel free to email us at Help@Webstaurantstore.com. ”

Fantastic prices, but shipping is rid

"Excited about the pizza boxes we ordered...except shipping is just about 1.5 Times the cost of the product!!"

Great unless you have a problem.

"Great prices and they’re fine when everything goes smooth, but if you need to return or exchange, even if it’s their fault, it’s a total hassle!"

A rep from WebstaurantStore, Webstaurant Store, has responded:

“Thank you for your review. 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.”

Worst Customer Service ever!

"Second Order: We received the product during a huge remodel and so keep it covered for two weeks in it's original packaging. When we finally uncovered it we found that it was totally scratched up all over the top...like really damaged. When I contacted them they said because we didn't call within 5 days that it was just too bad for us and they wouldn't take it back. But the "best part" was she said that it was to be used in a commercial kitchen and so therefore all those scratches shouldn't matter to me. I sent lots of photos but they stuck to their guns on the 5-day limit so I'm now I'm out for one table they owe me almost $600 for and another one that is a piece of %$#!"

Coffee maker and decanter

"I ordered a Bunn Coffee Maker and a decanter. The coffee maker was out of stock, so I cancelled the order to obtain one from another vendor. They would not cancel the decanter which was shipped from another location. I was charged $16 shipping for a$3.89 decanter. I used it for a couple of weeks before it started leaking. I have learned not to waste my time or money with this company."

A rep from WebstaurantStore, Webstaurant Store, has responded:

“Hello Tim, I am sorry for the inconvenience of this order. In order to expedite getting items to our customers as quickly as we can, we do not consolidate orders before shipping out, which is why we shipped the decanters even though there was a delay on the coffee pot. If you would decide to give us another chance, in the future please feel free to check with any of our live chat representatives who can give you an idea of our stock levels and where we estimate items would ship from to help make an informed decision. If you have any questions, please feel free to email us at help@webstaurantstore.com. ”

Buying all Restaurant Supplies Here

"The products we are getting are the quality we expect and the pricing is, so far, unbeatable. My one complaint is that it seems every time I log in the pricing goes up on several of my regularly ordered items. I would like to see some consistency and continue to get all my products from Webstaurant, but if the prices continue to rise I will be able to get the products locally for the same price or cheaper.

Company doesn't abide by their own shipping "policies"

"Beware of ordering from WebstaurantStore if you live outside of the US. The company's website says that they will contact you to obtain brokerage info BEFORE shipping your order. They don't actually contact you, and then you're forced to pay the brokerage and administrative fees to their preferred shipping company (FedEx). And if they happen to ship your order in multiple shipments, without notifying you first, then you have the privilege of paying these fees TWICE. Don't bother trying to speak with their "customer service" agents either. In their case, the customer is never right!"

A rep from WebstaurantStore, Webstaurant Store, has responded:

“Thank you for your review, Naomi. I apologize if there was an issue with the duties and fees for your international shipment. For the convenience of our customers, we utilize FedEx International as both our shipper and broker for international ground shipments. We do not require you to provide us with a broker if it is a ground shipment. If the shipment was shipped via common carrier, we will contact you for that information before it ships. 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. ”

Commercial fryer received with oil inside-webstaurant.com

"I purchased the cecilware fryer EL120 from Webstaurant.com and received the fryer with a sticky heating unit and oil inside. The customer service explained the fryer was tested with oil in it before shipping out and it is neither used nor refurbished.
I wanted to return, and they were asking me a shipping charge (probably around $100) and 20% restocking fee.
