Bad Return Policies

"Ordered a convection oven that turned out to be too large. Upon arrival I contacted support immediately asking to exchange it for a smaller one. I was informed it would cost me 25% and it would be store credit. Lesson learned, we’ll shop elsewhere for our business "

“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.”

Outstanding

"My wife and I just opened our restaurant. We've been dealing with Webstaurant for practically all of our equipment (99%). and I have nothing be great things to say about them. The orders are shipped promptly and the one time I had to deal with customer service the experience was fantastic. Highly recommend."

No returns

"I bought a cancer back from them and used it once and realized it wasn't what I expected or needed and they refused to return it for the original price or any price for that matter. just know if you buy something and you don't want it you better leave it in the box and not use it. 30-day returns my ****."

SHIPPING IS ATROCIOUS

"I have used this company for a year now to purchase fondant for my small business. The price is great for the product and the shipping is very fair, but you get what you pay for. Per their site it says I should get my product within 4 days of processing the order. I receive it 10 days later, sometimes longer. I contacted customer service via the chat and when the agent's solution was "just choose expedited shipping and we'll get it to you in 3 days". Are you serious... so pay $130 shipping on $80 worth of fondant? That woman was clueless at best. Other than that she said she didn't have a solution. Wow!!! If you advertise it then you should definitely honor it. I often wait 3 days just to get the confirmation email that my order was received and then it takes 2 days for the tracking information to show up. But hey, you get what you pay for.... "

“I apologize that you did not have a positive experience with shipping on our site. I do see that you ordered this with ground shipping. While we do offer estimates for the ground shipping transit time that is accurate, ground shipping is subject to delays. If you have a specific need by date, we do offer guaranteed delivery dates if you order with expedited shipping. You can find the cost of the expedited shipping on our cart page.

Great Concept, Terrible Customer Service

"The concept is great! But they need to work out the kinks. Not sure what is up with the customer service philosophy, but it is terrible! I still buy from them because the product and price are right. But I just have to keep in mind that I will get no where if I have any issues with my order."

Quality has gone down hill

"I had been buying butcher paper from WebstaurantStore for about a year and a half to place on tabletops over linen in my restaurant. I suddenly noticed that the quality had changed dramatically for the worse. I contacted WebstaurantStore and they asked me to provide pictures and video, which I did. In the end, they just blew me off and left me with 4 rolls of paper that is useless to me."

A rep from WebstaurantStore, Webstaurant Store, has responded:

“Thank you for your review, Jeanne. I'm sorry that the butcher paper changed from when you purchased it last. On our site, some of our lowest priced items are listed as generic. In other words, we do not have a specific vendor name associated with the product. The product is sourced from a variety of vendors according to price and availability so we may both quickly and fairly accommodate your needs. We do our best in updating our site with any changes in the products and there may be instances where there is a slight variance in the look and feel of the product due to a change in vendors. However, the intended application of the product will remain the same. If you find that this is not the case, please contact our Customer Solutions team immediately and we will look into the issue for you. I am unable to locate your order without your order number, email address or information used to place your order but if this is still ongoing, please reach out to us at Help@WebstaurantStore.com.”

Disorganized and horrible service

"I’m currently opening 3 bakery shops. I had so far spent $12k in machinery and supplies. Aside from the insane shipping fees, I had to return one equipment that I didn’t really need. They had me pay for the return shipping cost out of pocket after spending nearly $15k between equipment and supplies and their horrible “plus” program. Upon receiving my return they sent me another email with the refund less than the original email I received from them. I asked why there was a difference and they said they were “charging me for shipping fees.” I let them know I paid for the shipping myself and they asked me for proof of receipt. I received the refund and they did not refund me the original amount they were supposed to. On top of that, every box I received from them was poorly packaged and came destroyed. I took pictures of the condition of the boxes DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY. All they care about is taking the clients money and have no care and respect for the product the client is purchasing. The worse service!"

Fast shipping, low prices!

"This place is great for businesses. While shipping is high for little orders, they told me they are setup for large bulk restaurant orders. It’s true, shipping is much better the more you buy. Thinking about getting free shipping membership based on how much I order "
