I received a table top fryer from company. It was grungy and somewhat beat up. I called and sent photos to customer service. Within two days a new unit arrived via FedEx. CS was polite, efficient, and very helpful. Did everything right!

Stay clear of this sham company. They sent me a different handle then they had advertised on their website. Then initaly wanted me to pay restocking and shipping fees to return. They also refuse to admit they sent me a handle for a different model then I have. This company sucks. And I paid around 130.00 for a handle that will be thrown in the trash since it cant be used on my model I have because the handle they sent does not have the attachment on it the other handle has. Dont waste your money. They told me the manufacturer said that's the right handle. I have a motorscrubber jet. The handle is for the motorscrubber jet 3 which is a new unit not the one I have. So that's a ridiculous response. They dont take responsibility for anything. Stay clear

Ordered product get email saying contact them. Called was told they didn't like my email. Email company said this company has a problem that needs to be fixed.

Then they asked for me to send a drivers license for proof, wanted a DL, which has nothing to do with a email, I asked them to furnish their DL I was asked what for reasons and said I need to know who I am sending this information too. He immediately canceled the order and hung up. I truly believe this company was going to use the ID for some criminal act. Stay away from this company very alarming.

Thank you for your review. I could not find your account with the information provided. For customer security, there may be times that our E-Commerce Risk department requests information such as a photo ID or a bill showing your address. This is strictly for customer security in order so that we can verify identities. If this is requested for a first order, it will typically only need to be verified just the one time. If you have any further questions about this process or business model, please email [email protected] and we will be happy to help.

I purchased roughly 30k of cooking equipments from this company, one of the items due to the voltage not being what i need, i asked them to return it kindly however they are asking me 35 percent deduction which is $2300! That's why you shouldn't buy anything from this company since there are so many other great options such as Katom, Amazon etc.
I will call my credit card company plus take them to small claim court!
Such an horrible and stressful experience

Thank you for your review Omer. I do apologize for any frustration surrounding your order, and I am sorry that the wrong item was ordered. I was able to review your order and see what has transpired so far. The fryer that you ordered does specifically state that it is a 480v unit. This is listed in the title, on the item page, and in the spec sheet. Typically, a product will need to have the original packaging in order to be returned. I can see that we were able to work with the manufacturer and request the return even though the unit does not have the original packaging, should you wish to move forward with it. Please feel free to reach us at [email protected] if you have any further questions regarding the return.

Thank you for your review, Manuel. We are glad that you have enjoyed our website and the products. Unlike most wholesalers, we do not include the price of shipping into the pricing of our items. This way, we can offer the lowest possible prices for all of our customers. This does mean we put the full shipping amount on at the end. Typically, the more products you purchase, the better your shipping rate becomes for each individual item. If you have any questions about this or any other processes, just email [email protected] and we will be happy to help.

Use by date
October 1, 2020

Received my order on 10/1/20. The jelly has a "best if used by 10/16/20" date. This is unacceptable. You staff says that if I use them (200) soon it should be fine. If this is how you sell all your products you should be ashamed.

Thank you for your review, Sheryl. Products like the jelly should typically arrive with a minimum of one month left before the best buy date. Because this was not the case, we have reshipped you another case of jelly for no charge. If you have any additional questions, please email [email protected] and we will be happy to help.

Thank you for your review, Luanne. As a bulk wholesaler, we do not include any shipping or handling into the price of our items. As a result of this, we do put the shipping on at the end. Typically, the more you purchase, the lower the shipping cost will be for each item. Additionally, it is cheaper to ship to a commercial address as opposed to a residential location. If you have any additional questions, please email [email protected] and we will be happy to help!

Thank you for your review Sam. I do apologize for any confusion or inconvenience surrounding your order! I was able to review the order and what has transpired thus far. The order was placed on 8/7 and everything shipped out on 8/13 to the shipping address that was entered when you placed the order. The shipping address is included in confirmation order emails so our customers can follow up with us if they entered something incorrectly. I see that you had contacted us on 8/17 stating that you had not received the order, and we started a trace with the carrier. When the carrier was not able to locate the original shipment we offered you a replacement order or a refund, and you confirmed a replacement order. When we advised that replacement orders will go to the original address (due to tax purposes/laws) we recommended cancelling the replacement order so you could place a new order to the correct/updated address. We also then submitted the refund request for the order. If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to us at [email protected].

Cancel order
September 15, 2020

I accidentally ordered 2 of 1 item. Tried to contact customer service immediately, but was informed item had shipped. Order had been placed approximately 10 mins. Prior. Will not return due to so many fees. Did not receive satisfactory answer to my problem.

Thank you for your review, Betty. We pride ourselves on our ability to process orders quickly and we do not guarantee that you can modify an order or cancel it once placed. 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. Most companies do build it into their initial pricing, but we try to charge it only when it is needed. If you have any questions or concerns, please email us at [email protected].

I placed an order for a sink with this company. Afterward, I realized I wanted to add more items to the previous transaction so I went back to my order. There is a function that says, "add items" on the order. I clicked this and added 3 other items. Then I received and was charged for 2 sinks. According to the company, I placed two separate orders. They told me if I wanted to return the sink, they would charge me a REDICULOUS 30% restocking fee + shipping. This is why AMAZON thrives... because of poor customer service like yours.

Thank you for your order, Nhi. After an order is placed, you are not able to add items to your order and there is a very brief window, through your account dashboard if you are registered, where you can cancel your order, if applicable. We try to process orders as quickly as possible and we do not have the option to modify an order after it's been placed. That being said, there are times where you can reach out via chat or email to request a change on your order but we are not able to guarantee we can do that since our orders are processed so quickly.

They send a wrong item ( lid for a brazier). They admitted sending the wrong item ($15) and I should pay to send it back ($15 postage) and they would charge me a 30% restocking fee.
