"Im always very satisfied with my experiences at webrestaurantstore"

Webstaurant will not post negative reviews on their website and they sometimes ship food product that is almost expired.

"We've done business with Webstaurant quite a bit in the past. They've increasingly adopted the attitude, "The Customer is ALWAYS wrong." We purchased mints several times from them that we've used for many years from other suppliers. The last shipment included a case of product that was almost expired and had already turned bad by the time we received. Webstaurant blamed us for storing it incorrectly, and also said the manufacturer was not accurate for telling purchasers that the mints have a 5-month shelf life. I have learned that Webstaurants good prices come at a cost, and in the long run you might shoot yourself in the foot by cutting ties with long-standing suppliers who might charge a little more, but will always take care of you. I don't need a snot-nosed, know-it-all Webstaurant Internet customer service rep arguing and making up stories to try to make us look we are wrong for pointing out Webstaurant's poor business practices."

BUYER BE WARE

"Purchased an $189 Excaliber dehydrator from them which was too large for my home. They want to charge me 30% restocking fee PLUS $23 return shipping. It's $70 to return. They claim that a restocking fee keeps their cost down yet the return is going back to the manufacturer who only charges a 15% restocking fee.

LESSON LEARNED; PURCHASE ITEMS ELSEWHERE. THEY ARE MAKING A PROFIT ON RETURNS AS WELL AS SALES.

A rep from WebstaurantStore, Webstaurant Store, has responded:

“Thank you for your review, Andrea. 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. The 15% restocking fee from the manufacturer is assessed directly to WebstaurantStore and does not include any costs associated with our customer service or processes required to set up the return. Most companies do build it into their initial pricing, but we try to charge it only when it is needed.

If you ever have questions about an item, please reach out to us before you purchase so we can help you find the right product. We try to provide enough information on our website so our customers can make the best, educated buying decision. You can always reach us through chat directly on our website or through email when you have order or product questions. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to reach out to us at Help@WebstaurantStore.com.”

"it was easy to find what I wanted. the description of the product was wonderful. I think my son will love this pizza peel for his pizza oven. I feel shipping was a little expensive. "

The go-to resource for the difficult-to-find

"I have never had any issues, perhaps because my orders were small. WebstaurantStore, for me, has been reliable. Shipping is much more than I find comfortable, though -- no option for less expensive shipping."

CUSTOMER SERVICE IS NON EXISTENT AND THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS.

"No phone number to call just online chat.
Ask you to upload tax exempt form, but they keep saying no files received.
After 3 times, i gave up ordering paying tax on resale items.
No explanation, no sorry, just want you to reload the file again and again and email it again and again, somehow they never receive the 3 uploads and 3 email, in the span of 3 weeks.
Stupid company, they don't care about the customer, they only care how to save money by not having a phone number.

A rep from WebstaurantStore, Webstaurant Store, has responded:

“Hello Chang, we are sorry for the delay in getting your tax exemption status listed on our site. Due to recent tax reforms, several states have mandated tax to be charged on all shipments. Due to an influx of accounts needing updates, it is taking a longer processing time than usual. If you are tax exempt, you can send your tax exempt forms to tax@webstaurantstore.com. One of our tax representatives will get back to you in 5-6 business days with the status of your application on your account.”

Don’t waste your time!

"If you want to work with a company who cares about your repeat business, then stay away from webstaurantstore.com. I am now a previous customer after my first purchase three days ago. The same item was heavily discounted for cyber Monday so I inquired about the discount (I haven’t received the item yet), and was told it is not possible. Furthermore, if I purchase the item again and then return the previous purchase, it’s subject to shipping and a $30 restocking fee. Restocking fee for an item not even opened?? Horrible customer experience."
