They have 6 locations for faster shipping, but for my order they shipped all the way from PA across the country in 8 days to CA. Of course you only find out after you place the order. They don't let you cancel because it is being processed. What a BS!
Never again!

Thank you for your review, John. I am sorry to hear that your order took longer than expected to arrive! While we do not have stock counts displayed on our site, we do have customer service available 7 days a week via our online chat system, email, as well as by phone and we are always happy to check where the stock is located and estimate how long it would take to arrive to you. We do have 6 warehouses that we ship from, but not all items are stocked in every location since we do have over 250,000 products available on our site and we do not have that much space in every location at this time.

Since we do pride ourselves on quick processing in order to get in-stock orders out within 1 business day or less, we only have a small window of time in order to cancel or makes changes to an order once it is placed. We always recommend reaching out to us with any questions that you may have before placing the order so that we can make sure that what you are ordering will work for your needs and that your expectations are met.

If you have further questions or concerns that you need to be addressed, please feel free to reach out to us at [email protected].

Horrible
November 27, 2019

***Updated*** I was able to finally return the freezer for store credit or WEBucks" as they call it.

In my opinion this is the worst company EVER! Don't buy any equipment from these people. Called about a freezer for our ice cream cakes. "Scott" was so very helpful and recommended a unit. Freezer won't go below zero and manufacturer says you shouldn't put ice cream in this unit it will not stay frozen. Wow. Check out the picture with all the ice cream in it. AND THEY REFUSE TO RETURN IT! Lawsuit is coming though. 6k for this freezer alone. We didn't even want a refund... just an exchange and they said no it's USED NOW.

Thank you for your review, John. I am so sorry that you have not had a good experience with this freezer. We completely agree that we had incorrect information advertised on our site and since the time of this post, we were able to have this corrected. I have located your order in our system and I see what we were able to work with you to have this resolved to the best of our abilities as quickly as possible. I see that we are working to have the unit returned to us and that we have already issued a refund in store credit so that you can purchase the correct unit that will fit your needs quickly. If you have further questions or concerns that you need to be addressed regarding this issue, please feel free to reach out to us at [email protected]

POOR RETURN POLICY.
November 21, 2019

Products are decent but the RETURN POLICY IS VERY POOR. I accidentally bought the wrong size and I wanted to return it. But did they accept? NOOOO. SO BUYER - PLEASE BEWARE. Before you make any purchases, MAKE SURE that you have the CORRECT SIZING (which was my issue) AND their service wasn't all that great. They could learn a thing or two from AMAZON and these online e-tailers that are taking over the marketplace.

Thank you for your review, Jules. I am sorry to hear that you were unhappy with your return experience with WebstaurantStore. 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.

We do our best to provide as much information about the product on the item's page as possible, but if you have additional questions before purchasing, our customer service is available to answer any question that you may have by chat, phone, or email so that you can feel confident about your purchase. If you have further questions or concerns that you need to be addressed, please feel free to reach out to us at [email protected].

Unfortunately, Webstaurant is NEVER helpful for a customer. Poor shipping, late shipment, damages, NOTHING is ever their problem. You as the customer endure a lot of bad situations. Pricing is good, selection is good. Samples do not exist. Beware,

Thank you for your review, Ann. I am sorry to hear that you have not had a positive experience with WebstaurantStore. We have our customer service available 24 hours Monday - Thursday and more limited hours over the weekend. When there is damage or late shipments, please let us know as soon as possible so that we can assist with providing a resolution, such as a possible reshipment of items. As for samples, we have a dedicated team to work with manufacturers to request and send samples if that particular manufacturer offers it. If that manufacturer does not offer samples, we suggest ordering a smaller pack size to see if it will fit your needs before ordering a larger quantity. If you have an ongoing situation that has not been resolved, please email us at [email protected] with the order number and put it to the attention of Emily A. So that I may assist.

Buyer beware!
November 15, 2019

While their website is great and they have overall good shipping, if you need ANY kind of customer service or have even the simplest return, just be warned, it sucks. Their service is very slow and they charge a 20% return fee on anything returned. It took me 45 minutes to get an item returned to them.

Oh my goodness!
November 13, 2019

I came across this site by accident! I didn't know how to plan for my even or what all I would need. I love this store. The chat was so helpful. I was able to order all the serving pieces, table top stuff in one sitting. I forgot something after placing the order and the chat helped me out so I would not have to pay the shipping again on the one item! Now if my order gets here within the week I will update my Review accordingly.

Just don't bother
November 1, 2019

There's no sense in writing things that have already been reported. Bottom line, company could care less. If a company has delivery and customer service issues time and time again it's time to hurt them where it matters. Subpar delivery and customer service is not acceptable. This company has very bad reviews and that hasn't changed. It's a good thing that I'll waste more time to let people know and hopefully they will loose business as a result. In this day and age customer retention is important and if you don't care, and clearly they don't, then their bottom line, sales, profit, should hurt them. BUYER BEWARE, DO YOU WANT TO GET A GOOD PRODUCT AT A GOOD PRICE ONLY TO HAVE IT NOT SHOW UP, PUTTING YOU IN THE POSITION TO UPSET YOUR CUSTOMERS? I DONT THINK SO. SO THINK TWICE BEFORE DOING BUSINESS WITH A COMPANY THAT NEEDS TO TIGHTEN UP THEIR ACT. Don't LET THEIR BAD SERVICE IMPACT YOUR CUSTOMERS.

Thank you for your review, Linnea. I am sorry to hear that you have been so unhappy with the deliveries and customer service. While we do our best to provide estimates for delivery of orders, we are unable to provide guarantees unless expedited shipping is ordered, but delays can happen in transit. I was able to locate your order, and I do see that you notified us on 10/30 (Wednesday) that you were missing some items. At that point we had requested further information regarding which tracking number you had received, so that we could contact the carrier and start a trace for the missing items. Once additional information was provided, a trace was started, and the carrier typically has 48-72 hours to complete their investigation. We do have to do this so that the carrier knows of the issue and if they are able to locate the shipment near you, they can have it delivered faster than we could have it shipped to you. As of 11/1 (Friday), we went ahead and reshipped you the missing items before the carrier was able to complete their investigation as an exception as we wanted to resolve this for you. Please feel free to contact us at [email protected] if you have any further questions or concerns.
