Great!
June 10, 2020

I bought the kitchen knives as a gift and am happy they arrived in time for the birthday. Yes, they took awhile to arrive, but I understand with COVID. The knife box looks in perfect condition. Can't ask for more than that. So, with the price of the gift itself and free delivery I would say, "great". Thank you!
Follow-up: My nephew opened his gift - everything was in order. Perfect condition. For me, terrific value... I saw the same knife set elsewhere for over $65 more than what I paid. No picture... but I really bought the Cuisinart and my nephew really is slicing and dicing!

Happy Cook
June 10, 2020

I am very happy with the products ordered from the Cook Store. Although there was unavoidable delay in delivery, the Cook Store maintained email updates to keep me well posted.
Excellent service, and I have already ordered again!

Terrible
June 9, 2020

I asked for a refund after they told me that they were waiting for product. They said no refund as the order was in shipping'. LIE. I again asked for a refund as they did not have the product to ship. They said no. I asked them to call me and they said no.
Seriously- don't order from here.

Headache!
June 9, 2020

Order was placed may 7th 2020. Advised of back order. June 6th received an email that i will be refunded. Responded within 15 min. I agreed. Tuesday may 9th. Told i will not be getting a refund.

No one picks up the phone. Email replies take days. Promises unfilled. Misleading information
Will never purchase from here again!

Nothing but a headache!

Fraud
June 8, 2020

When I ask for cancellation of my order, they deliberately ignore my emails for more than 2 weeks, then the order was shipped... and they said they couldn't cancel anymore
I asked for returning, again no responses... They are waiting for the deadline of returning, then I will have to keep the item...

Horrible horrible website and business. Don't ever shop with them!

Do not order anything from this company. They're just drop shipping the product with not control over the quality of the service or delivery. I placed an order for a pan and never received it. After 4 weeks I email them just to hear that their suppliers are slower than usual due to covid. What they don't mention is that they may not have the product in stock but they still take your money immediately. I asked for a refund and have been waiting for 2 weeks to get my refund back. First and last time I use this company.

Received my new crepe pan today - have not had a chance to cook with it yet! Great solid construction and heavy weight! Thank you for the quick service during this precarious shipping time.

Absolute crooks!
June 1, 2020

I placed a substantial online order on April 1 2020. I received a shipping notice that the goods would be deluded on April 16. When this did not happen I tried to track the shipment, but there was no tracking available. I reached out to Cook Store several times to no avail and they don't answer their phone. Ifinallt managed to email the shipper. They confirmed my goods had been damaged in transit. I asked Cook Store for a refund. They never committed and said they would get back to me. Two mo this later and I have no goods and no refund. I finally handed this over to Visa. I have yet to receive any money back, but hoping Visa will come through for me. I would advise that you never deal with these awful people.

Service excellence
May 28, 2020

Service was excellent.
Supply was back ordered and I was kept up to date throughout the whole process.
Staff were courteous and knowledgeable. I never felt my questions were a bother.
I will shop here again and recommend the store to my family and friends.
Thanks

You did great! Unfortunately, the item I ordered was discontinued but I was offered to select a substitute. My substitute was the same item I ordered but in a different colour. It had a higher listed price but you did not charge me anything more. Chloe M provided excellent service and my order arrived in a couple of days. My item was exactly as expected. I'm very satisfied. Thank you very much.
