One of the reasons I tried Zoro in this competitive market was because of their participation in the "Fuel Rewards" program. Sadly, these rewards have not come thru to-date.

Jan 7, 2026

I dealt with the 3 most incompetent persons within the Zoro customer service department concerning a Werner ladder that was delivered severely damaged as well as a second Werner ladder that was delivered severely damaged as well. 16 days from the day I placed my order and the only compensation offered was waiving the freight charges and a minuscule 10% off the ladder purchase price. As a customer for 15 years, this is how Zoro deals with a repeat customer who spent hundreds of thousands of dollars with their company! I requested a full refund and will be closing out my account!

If your order is split into separate shipments from separate warehouses, your credit card gets double billed as the full total, then each shipment, then finally they reverse the full total. When I called they told me that they had 10 days to reverse the full change. I told them they are violating their agreement with MasterCard and Visa. I have used PayPal with them in the past and PayPal does not allow these deceptive business practices, so I recommend avoiding them or using PayPal.

Aug 25, 2025

I used to use zoro everyday. Search now returns unusable results. I refuse to dig through 100s of results to find the one I want. Stop dumping trash into my search results.

Dec 13, 2025

Received product in good condition when I went to use it it did not work no help on line and no trouble shooting instruction on package

Legit company
July 23, 2026

Occasionally offers mediocre promos but always offers free shipping, prices are slightly higher than average but competitive enough that mixed with a slightly more Versatile inventory and good customer service it's alright. Be prepared to have a pain in the $#*! time navigating around if you don't have part numbers because searching for something by spec detail basically throws the whole process off and if you tap too fast or use private browsers you'll likely get booted for suspicious activity

Ordered floor register
July 23, 2025

You all have sent me the floor register wrong 2 times now. I am pissed. Are you people smoking crack. The sheet that you sent me has the right size for the order but who ever is typing them up puts wrong sizes on them. You need to fire them because they are dumb. I looked at someone else complaint and the same thing happen. I am not sending this one back I was so mad I throw it away. I don't care because I will never use your company again. Want you to go home and ask your wife if 1.5 inches matters. If she says no the doctor and have 1.5 inches cut of you $#*!.

Order wrong…twice
July 2, 2025

Ordered 3 floor registers at 5.5x15.5inches. I was sent registers at 4x14 inches. The return process was so confusing. Then they sent my order again, and again the wrong size. Not a good a look.

Not enough product information
June 2, 2025

Nothing really bad to say about Zoro or it's prices. I bought two lawn mower tires. Studied all the info. They came quickly. But wrong bore or bearing size. Had to send them back. I went back to the site and no information for the bore size. It was 3/4 and I needed 1/2. Zero did refund but now 2 weeks without mower.

Take A Page from Amazon
May 19, 2025

Is it really that hard to update Zoro's website so business customers can download complete page sized receipts for their purchases... and with our advertising B. S.? Take a page from Amazon already and Zoro might be able to compete.

False advertising
December 23, 2024

I called them up as soon as I received my order for a Milwaukee 1/2 stubby with batteries and a charger. I received only a gun when I spoke to there customer service and explained what I'd order they were getting ready to send me a replacement which going to be the same thing. I spoke to a so called manager that wouldn't honor what they advertised online and or on my invoice. My invoice clearly shows a gun 2 batteries and a charger. Suck that eve when I spoke to a supervisor she said she could not honor what they advertised online.
