Purchased a shirt that had a healthy shipping fee. The USPS left the item against the front door in a high density urban neighborhood and the envelope was promptly stolen. So I am left with the expense and nothing to show but disappointment. At that price, offering the option to have the coverage would have been a layup. They are not willing to offer anything in return.
I would opt for a different merchant.

Hi Larry,
We have shipped and delivered the item to your address.
We always advice our customers in such a case, to open a complaint with USPS. Once they approve this, we are happy to resend the item.

I ordered another custom ring 2 weeks after receiving my first ring. Again, the quality of the fabrication and design couldn't have been better. Shipping was quick. Great company!

We placed a large order and the item received was different then the item pictured. No response on their part despite multiple attempts to contact them to return the items. Don't order from them!

25 days, no delivery, no email, no response to any inquiries. What next? Cancel with credit card I suppose.

I recently purchased a Minorah, it is beautiful, just as it was portrayed in the advertisement. It arrived well packed and we are delighted with it. Thank you for such good service.

When you buy from this company make sure you done pay an expedite fee, because you will not get an items in 2-4 business days. Apparently there is 1 to 4 availability days, and then only 2-4 shipping days, which will make it 3-9 days in total.
Impossible to track items. I have been provided with a tracking number and 4 websites to track and still can not get the grip of it.
So think 10 times before you order.

I ordered two items and paid for 2-4 business day delivery in time for a special event. Delivery finally was made 3 weeks later. Repeated attempts to contact customer service were unsuccessful in addressing the delay or getting refund of expedited charges. A letter to their New York address was returned as undeliverable. Opened multiple trouble tickets as the only way to get through, but there was not way to follow up on these. Also found no way to leave a review on the site which is perhaps the reason all reviews are glowingly positive. Do not expect to get anything in a hurry.

I placed an order with them, and they did not respond to inquiries about where the order was. It took them 2 weeks just to ship. They provided tracking info that showed the item hadn't shipped even through they claimed it had. You get automated replies to emails saying you will get a response within 24 hours, but that's a lie. They processed the credit card the day I placed the order, but nearly a month later, no merchandise. Filed dispute with AmEx. Stay away from them, they seem to have no idea what they're doing.

I purchased a Necklace and paid for 7-14 business days shipping. 40 days later they shipped it. Then the shipping company wanted $30.74. I already paid for shipping. I filled a complaint with PayPal. I'm very upset.

Purchased an item late April for my wedding in early June. After 2 weeks of no shipping notice I contacted the company in regards to my purchase. They told me they would look into it and get back to me, then nearly a week later I was contacted on a Friday and told it would be shipped out on Monday. Fearing my purchase wouldn't arrive on time, I asked to cancel the order. Come Monday, after telling them to cancel my order, I received an email telling me the item was shipped. Now the item shows up after my wedding, while I'm on my honeymoon, and I have to send the item back. I was told that once the item was received on their end I would receive and refund for the purchase, and I would be reimbursed for the shipping costs ( since the item was shipped after I told them to cancel the order). I supplied them with a copy of the shipping costs, and an email address for my paypal account ( I was told they could only reimburse the shipping cost through paypal). Well, after several attempts to contact the company, sometimes they will respond after 2-3 days, sometimes there is no response at all (until I send multiple emails). Each response I get is filled with lies and all they are doing is giving me the runaround, instead of giving me the reimbursement they agreed to. Its now October and this issue has yet to be resolved.

I would not recommend this company to anyone to do business. If you see Judaica Web Store in your searches, RUN AS QUICKLY AS YOU CAN. They are very unprofessional, and the entire experience is painstakingly overdrawn. Maybe one of these years I will get my money back from them, but I'm not holding my breath.

I ordered about $300 worth of merchandise from Judaicawebstore.com a MONTH ago (on 8/14/18) and I still don't even know where my package is!

I've used many online retailers from Israel over the years, but this is my first experience with this business and my worst experience ever! They didn't even provide a valid tracking number!

I am so disheartened that after a month, they still haven't even provided me with a status, location or anticipated arrival date of my merchandise (pictured.). Absolutely TERRIBLE experience!

SANDALS
September 4, 2018

Due to a slight breakdown in communication, regarding sizes, I ended up with 3 pairs of sandals (I was told to keep them as a courtesy to me). I also had to pay custom duty on one pair and not on the others. However when I had to contact the staff by e-mail they were helpful and in the end I am satisfied with the sandals I ordered.

Belated arrival
August 17, 2018

I had no idea where the disc was coming from, and am used to having these things arrive within a day or two. It actually arrived after Tisha B'Av when I was intending to show it. I needed to substitute it for something else. I will show it next year.

Excellent service and product
July 24, 2018

Recently ordered a small baroque puffed heart charm that I am wearing as a pendant. Was received in a timely way and far exceeded my expectations as it was so reasonably priced and is really beautiful. It arrived in a timely way and I was kept informed as to when to expect it. Excellent customer service and excellent item!

Very high quality and gorgeous product - thanks JudaicaWebStore! I saw a handmade silver Hebrew name necklace in Jerusalem recently and foolishly did not purchase it there so I was grateful to find it online - and for less $!
