Recently bought a Meat Grinder machine from them with extended warranty. After a couple of uses (no more than 30 minutes in a single run) the machine started overheating and stopped working. Upon contacting the customer support I was told that the company does not cover it under the warranty.

I donot understand why would they even sell a warranty if they cannot honor it. They might have a wide range of products but based on my experience the quality is definitely poor.

I would not be buying from them definitely and would be strongly suggest you to stay away as well.

An Outraged Customer.

Thank you for your review, Isham. I am sorry to hear that your meat grinder is no longer working! The extended warranty just offers additional coverage time on the product but still follows the coverage that is listed in the item's standard warranty information. This can be found on the unit's page on our site under the "Resources and Downloads" section on the right-hand side. Within the warranty, it does list what will void the warranty and what the warranty will not cover. It sounds as though the unit was used in a way that is not covered, but I would need more information to confirm this.

Since I am unable to locate your order without additional information, I am unable to see all of the details as to why the warranty did not cover the issue in this circumstance. If you would like for me to look into this situation further, I am happy to do so if you send an email to [email protected] with your order number and put it to the attention of Emily A so I can review all the information.

Love the selection - but shipping is way too high. Even with the membership. Will likely cancel it and buy elsewhere for no reason other than that the shipping is so high.

I used the Septsave coupon code but it didn't reduce the cost - perhaps it didn't apply to the items I ordered.

I've purchased two Kitchenaid blenders and both died within 2 years of moderate to low usage. My experience with Webstaurant and the equipment they sell gives me confidence in their recommended blenders.

Good Price bad service
August 27, 2019

"I ordered a fryer from these guys it shipped out and never showed up at my location. It seems the carrier lost it. Well webstaurant says well look into it 7 days later. They said it was lost and would reship. No expidated shipping just shipped common carrier. Remember it has now been a week. You cannot call them only talk to them via chat. The reps will say opps sorry but they dont care that im am now without a fryer for 2 weeks. Will not do this again to save 150 bucks. Lost more in time down than i saved. BTW webstaurant offered nothing to me although i lost hundreds of dollars."

Thank you for your review, Marcus. I am sorry to hear that your fryer was lost in transit and that you were unhappy with the service that was provided to you. When orders are shipped with a common carrier, we are unable to expedite transit time or confirm delivery dates. What we do provide is best estimates based on standard transit times from one of our warehouse locations to you.

As an e-commerce business, our main source of communication with customers is via chat or email, but if you would rather call to discuss by phone, we are able to assist you that way as well.

We do understand that this is an inconvenience and you were unable to fry during that entire time that the fryer was with the carrier and we are so sorry for the inconvenience and the delay. I am unable to review your order without further information, but if you would like for me to take a look at the situation further, please feel free to reach out to us at [email protected] with your order number and put it to the attention of Emily A.

Do not recommend them at all, sends me to manufacturer of a item they sell. Bought a globe mixer that was not working correctly and they told me to go to globe for a return if i wanted to..

Thank you for your review, Nestor. I am sorry to hear that you were unhappy with the service that was provided. With a lot of the items on our site, we do not hold the warranty for the unit. In most cases, the warranty is held by the manufacturer directly, so in order to get service, parts, confirmation of defect, or troubleshooting under warranty, we will direct you to the manufacturer. I have checked into the Globe mixers that we offer on our site and I do see that Globe does take care of their own warranty so they should have been able to assist with it not working correctly.

Have you contacted Globe for this assistance? Were they able to help to get the unit up and running?

If this is still an ongoing issue and Globe was unable to assist, please reach out to us at [email protected] with your order number and put it to the attention of Emily A so that I can look into this further with you.

They have what we needed but lacked the knowledge to help me repair it when it broke. Sent model number and pictures and was told the couldn't help me. Sure they'll replace an item that breaks in the fist year but after that you're on your own.
Customer service is ineffective and condescending.
Look elsewhere people...

Thank you for your review, Ken. I am sorry to hear that your item broke while in use and it could not get repaired. Since we carry a wide variety of products on our site, customer service representatives are trained on where to find the information or to reach out to our Products team if they cannot correctly advise on what is being asked. Most products of our site have their own warranty with the manufacturer or we are covering the warranty. It sounds as though your unit may be outside of the warranty period or we did not have the replacement parts, but I am unable to locate an order with the information in your review. I am happy to take a look into this further for you if this is unresolved. I can be reached by emailing us at [email protected] and put it to the attention of Emily A.

They have a solid selection and fair prices but BEWARE of getting bamboozled. I allowed their representative to advise me which specific product to get. Turns out they incorrectly advised me however, when I went to exchange for the correct part, they charged me return shipping and a 30% restocking fee. I explained that it was bad advice from their rep but Cassandra Barrett firmly refused and was completely inflexible. It seems as though this is maybe a secondary income stream for this company, I'm not sure. Additionally, the rep talked me into going with their 'Plus' promotion - kind of like Amazon Prime. Free shipping on products for an annual fee. Great, sounds good. I paid for it only to find out that the items the rep advised me to purchase did not qualify for the Plus program. *eye roll* I totally should have seen that coming. It's companies like this one that cause consumers to not trust corporations. Beware of this company - pay a few bucks more to buy it at a more trusted source.

Thank you for your review, Jason. I am sorry to hear that you were unhappy with the service that you received. I was able to find the chats that you have had with our customer service representatives that were made before and after the order was placed. In one of the chats that you had with us before you ordered, we had sent a general link to all of the dipper wells that we offer on our site and did not recommend a specific one based on your use since we confirmed that we did not have one that was recommended for use without a permanent water source. We always advise our customer to fully look into the details and dimensions of the product to see if it will fully fit your needs before purchasing.

I also see that when you were looking into having shipping cost discounted, we suggested looking into our Plus program. This is a $99 per month subscription to get free shipping on eligible items when the order total is over $29. We are offering a free trial month at this time so that you can see if you like the program and you are able to cancel the subscription at any time. Therefore, at the time you signed up, you had not yet been charged and could cancel the subscription so that it would not automatically renew and still receive the free shipping benefits for the rest of the month.

As for our restocking fee, 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 additional questions about the above, please feel free to reach out to us at [email protected].

I purchased a stainless steel table and it arrived in poor condition (box opened, scratched, dinged, dented and with loose screws). I was informed the table was still able to serve its functionality therefore I could not have it replaced. WRONG! After several days of complaining another table was shipped at no charge but this table was even worse (bigger dents, dings and scratches). I've learned my lesson. Free table or not this was such a dissatisfying experience. Great prices but you will unfortunately pay the bigger price with stress and end up with a poor quality product. I will NEVER shop here again.

Thank you for your review, Ruben. I am sorry to hear that you have had 2 tables arrive to you with damage! We never want items to arrive to you with damage, but it can happen on occasion while in transit. Since the intended use for the table is for the back of the house a restaurant, the denting and scratching would be considered cosmetic damage and not affect the functionality. Normally we would offer partial credit back for the damage since we do understand that you should not pay full price for the damaged product. Did you get assistance on the second table that arrived with damage as well? If not, I am happy to look into this with you if you would like to email us at [email protected] and put it to the attention of Emily A.

I was skeptical because the prices were too good to be true so I was sure i was probably falling for a scam. WRONG! I also was nervous if i wasn't going to get my items in time. I ordered it on Wednesday night and received all my items by Friday. AMAZING! I will definitely recommend them.

Thank you for your review, Paula! I am happy to hear that you were able to find an apron that worked for your business and was able to arrive to you quickly. As a wholesale website, we do not include any of the shipping charges in the cost of the items. Therefore, we do have to charge shipping for each of our orders and we do not have any general shipping discounts. Most of the items we sell on our site are eligible for Free or Discounted Shipping with an active Plus subscription which is $99/month and can be canceled at any time. If that’s something you are interested in taking advantage of, you can learn more and subscribe here: https://www.webstaurantstore.com/plus/.
