I had bought a few products on a sale recently and they were delivered very quickly and the prices was the best I could find. Products were as advertised also. Will use this company again.

Great company!
July 26, 2019

I have ordered many times from this company! I find them to be very service oriented. The orders are processed quickly and received in a timely manner. I love this company and will continue to shop there at all cost.

Ordered a pre- rinse tray for our dish pit - it is great quality and was delivered quickly and right to my door. Thanks for your efficiency with your online orders!

Dishonest staff and deceiving practices make this a company that you NEED to steer clear of! Lied to me regarding wait time and features of an espresso machine purchased at full price - then during the MONTHS of waiting, the price dropped by $500, i requested to cancel my order and reorder with the new price (because they wouldn't honor the sale price - even though i had waited 6 weeks at this point and contacted them multiple times) - they did not allow this and told me i would receive a 40% refund charge (for a $1,799 espresso machine). These people are absolutely criminal.

I ordered a bread machine. I got a confirmation email, and they took the money from my account. The email said I would get a confirmation email when shipped. 2 weeks later I called to find out why it hadn't shipped. Ohhh. It's gone to the shipping dept today. I got confirmation email that afternoon, but it still took another 10 days to arrive. The product is good, but almost 4 weeks isn't worth the $20 I saved over buying on Amazon with 2 day shipping. Will never buy from them again.

Run away fast
April 16, 2019

I placed the online order, heard nothing for 10 days so I called them and they said it had to be shipped in but would be received that week and I should get it early next week. A week later I called and they gave me the same blah blah blah. A week later I called to cancel the order, the lady said it was cancelled and I would get a confirmation that afternoon. 2 days later I received an email saying the product was shipped. I contacted them to say I want my refund as the order was cancelled. 2 weeks later, still no refund and the product was shipped to a different city. From my experience they will lie to you, not ship you product and scam you. Do yourself a favour and shop elsewhere.

Description of the items was grossly misrepresented. Said it was a ten tray proofer lucky if you could even get 3 trays into the. Proofer.

This website is a joke
February 4, 2019

I placed an order December 8th. Waited almost 3 weeks before I contacted them and they said they were waiting on some items. All the items said In stock in their website. They offered a$10 rebate but I had to contact them 2x to actually receive it. I received most of my order into the middle of January but was told they were still waiting for an item. I told them if they had it in another colour they could just send that one and they said ok. 2 weeks later i contacted them yet again and they said the item was cancelled due to a shipping error. Ummm I wasn't notified. Worst of all they said they had no other bench scrapers to send. I wonder how long it will take to get my refund this time. I will never order from them again and would never recommend anyone order from them, which is too bad because they do have decent prices

This company is an absolute joke to deal with. They'll lie to you about shipping times during high volume seasons just to grease an extra sale. When i brought this up with their representative, they told me that they had quoted a different wait time... i had specifically clarified the wait time because i am travelling outside of the country. Very disappointed with the shady tactics this company uses to try to compete in the public market.

We purchased a Krampouz Domestic Crepe Maker from the Cookstore. The product is flawed in that the device holding the batter when filled will not hold enough to make the complete circle. When I called to say I was not satisfied, they will only take a return if it is not used. My advice is to never use this compamy unless you know a product and have tried it out. I will not go back.

Same experience as others. I still haven't received shipment notification for my Technivorm moccamaster after 2 weeks. Good prices, however the fact that I have to pay my mastercard bill before the item even ships makes for some very questionable business practice in this day and age of internet shopping.
I would highly recommend to get price matches from other online retailers as this company is not worth the time.

Ordered a coffeemaker $299.00 reg and $50.00 off. After 5 weeks and never even out for delivery, I cancelled. Money which they took on ordering was refunded. Other than that I would have given a one star. Then found exact same coffeemaker on Amazon for $199.00. Bonus.
