Horrible lack of communication, didn't deliver product
I ordered a Sunmix 20 spiral mixer back in January but never received a shipping notification. After two weeks of trying to reach someone by phone and email, they finally let me know the unit was backordered to April and offered an alternative, which I didn't want. I opted to wait until April and was assured it would arrive before May. Late April, no word so I emailed them again on a weekly basis and they strung me along with vague statements that the order was "in process". Finally after a month of this, opened a dispute with my payment processor in late May and they're giving them until mid July to respond. No response from Restaurantstock. Meanwhile, instead of doing the right thing and refunding me, I have to wait for the dispute to resolve in order to get my money back.
Update: They issued me a refund check and it cleared. Long story short, if you get something they happen to already have in hand, you might have a good experience. If you get something that they don't have in stock (which their website does not indicate), you're in for trouble and should pursue a refund right away.

GIVE MY MONEY BACK!
I never leave poor comments about a company as long as I can work something out, but I haven’t received a phone call back or an email after my MANY follow ups about a refund that I’ve been waiting on for over a month! When I feel like Abe and his team are hiding from their customers whom they owe a refund for over 30 days without update, I feel it necessary to keep the public informed. The other reviews here that seem critical are not one-off scenarios. Just like another reviewer, their website said they had the item Hoshizaki fridge in stock, which they didn’t. I was the offered multiple substitutes which I declined and was promised an immediate refund. I waited a week and did more research and contacted Hoshizaki directly, they said they would have more units available soon so since I didn’t recently my refund, I asked restaurantstock.com to keep my unit ordered. I was contacted a week later and told that the order was now out until December and again offered multiple lower quality substitutes. I again declined and decided to be finished with this company. That was over 30 days ago and I can’t even get a reply from ANYONE on Abe’s team. If you choose to go with this company, you are taking a serious bet with your money. I’ve since chosen to go with another supplier for an additional $200 increase in price but at least I got quality service and the item I needed!

Dear Devin, when something turns out to be out of stock, we work very hard to try to find a solution for our customers. Our intention is always to try to ship equipment to our customers ASAP when something is out of stock, even if it means working on the order for hours until a solution is found. We always try to find replacements that our customers can get a good deal on. Sometimes the replacements cost more than what they purchased and sometimes they cost less. The brands suggested to you as a replacement were of comparable quality. The three brands that I see that we had replacements for you were Migali, Turbo Air, and Blue Air. Each one of those has a certain benefit vs the unit that you had purchased; one is cheaper but very reliable, one is comparable in quality and price, and ones factory produces a higher quality production. Devin, We sincerily apologize for the inconvenience and frustration. A full refund has been issued. We are happy for you to be in touch in the future for anything that you need. I promise we will make it up to you. We almost always beat other companies on price and most items do ship in 24 - 48 hours. Wishing you success and hoping to hear from you soon!

STAY AWAY FROM THIS SHADY COMPANY
Bought a Migali 2 burner hot plate back in the middle of March, it was supposed to ship in 48 hours or less, after 10 days of trying to get in touch with them to check on the status of my order, a lady finally gets in touch with me, she tells me that the item went up in price and that I needed to pay $70 more or they would have to cancel my order, I asked why would I have to pay more money if I had already paid what they were asking for on their website... Long story short, she cancelled my order and it's been over a month since I placed the order and I still don't have my money back, had to put a claim on my cc card... Will see what happens, but seems to me this is how they do business... Don't trust their prices on their website they will ask you for more $ after you buy. STAY AWAY from these crooks!! **UPDATE** I wanted the Migali (which is what I paid for) not the Atosa YOU offered me for more $$$ as a replacement. It took you guys over 2 months to issue my refund??!! And all I've got was BS excuses... I have no idea how you guys are still in business the way you run that company. **UPDATE 2** The Migali was not out of stock, you guys offered to ship it the same day if I paid the extra money you were asking me for (which I declined)... I still have the emails if you want to see them. So please stop your with your BS excuses.

Dear Humberto, Migali informed us that the unit you purchased was out of stock in the warehouse closest to you. As a service, when equipment is out of stock, we try to help our customers locate equipment that is in stock. Sometimes it takes hours to find something but we do it anyway. Many times we do find replacement units in stock that are cheaper than what the customers pays. In this case the comparable unit to the Migali that you ordered that was in stock was a unit from Atosa. The price of the Atosa was more than the Migali. Since different manufacturers use different components in their factories when manufacturing equipment, the prices are different. Since the Atosa did not work for you, we apologize but we needed to cancel your order. A full refund has been issued. We would have much rather shipped you the Migali as we want you as well as all of our customers to be happy. Sorry for the inconvenience and the frustration that this caused you. We sincerely hope you and your business do well.

Stay away!! NOTHING BUT FALSE PROMISES!
Stay away!!! Purchased an item on Feb 27th. Told me they have to charge me extra $70 because it was mispriced. Red flag #1. Then proceeded to tell me free shipping is not free and need to pay $100+ more to ship. Red flag #2. Took a week to get back to me. Finally got the price I I ourchased for and gave them an address to send to. They said they were going to send me tracking on March 4th, per the owners conversation. Their associate told me to call her since she didnt want put in an email saying "hey we dont have a tracking number." Makes no sense. Still no response from their team here we are March 11th. No product, no response. No tracking. This company is full of lies. Take your business elsewhere. Glad I got the item but put more hours in tracking this down you did working this week it seemed. If I ran my company like you did I'd be out of business.

Dear Jason,
You saved 35% less than the actual price of the product had you bought it anywhere else. You paid much less than the actual dealer cost. According to standard terms of service in the food service equipment industry, if a product has the wrong price for reasons that are not the dealers fault (please read our terms below), the dealer has the right to reject the order. I spoke to you on the phone and you sounded like a nice guy so what I did was bend the rules for you and processed your order at a loss to our company. You should know that this is not standard practice. Also, when goods ship via LTL freight, if the delivery location is non-commercial, LTL freight carriers consider that a shipping accessory and they charge for that additional service. Again, this is standard in our industry, standard nationwide in LTL freight, and is also in our terms as well as our shipping policy page.
I hope you enjoy your 2 burner hotplate by Migali.
Migali is a wonderful company! We love them!
Take a look at how they are such wonderful people!
from their about us page:
"Migali’s Core Values are to honor God in all we do by…
By treating people with dignity and respect
By serving our community
By forgiving others
By giving thanks
By practicing compassion
By working hard and doing our best"
From our terms of service:
"Despite our best efforts to manage price changes on a regular basis, there may be errors due to manufacturers changing prices without notice, manufacturer supply chain issues, human or computer error, any other issues caused by covid, etc. There may also be additional unforeseen costs involved in processing an order. In such a case, we will contact you as soon as we are aware of the issue and you will be able to cancel the order. Restaurantstock.com reserves the right to reject an order at it's own discretion."
Warmly,
-Abe

Free shipping, isn't.
This company is all about "free shipping", but they will charge you anyway. We live in a large suburban area in Montana, and have recently moved here, resulting in lots of large and heavy items being shipped here. Furniture, gym equipment, heavy treadmills and the like, all without issue. After choosing restaurantstock.com to order a commercial freezer, saving maybe $200 over other big box stores, Abe from RestaurantStock.com rings my wife demanding another $125 because it's their "right" to charge customers for shipping, (remember that bit about "free shipping"?). I asked for the invoice, replied with questions justifying the charge, and within 40 minutes instead of getting answers, Abe cancelled our order.
The whole experience felt like a scam.

Dear Doug,
We work hard to make sure our prices are always cheaper than other stores. We were able to save you more than $500 on your order. However, since you did not want to pay for the additional delivery accessories that you needed, we were not able to process your order. We canceled your order and refunded you in full.
We offer free shipping on every product through our store. Our shipping policy is clearly written on our website. Whoever wants to read it is more than welcome; It's very clear.
I am writing this for everybody to see: You purchased The SABA S-23F 29" One Door Reach-In Stainless Steel Freezer for $1953. We have the cheapest price on the market.
Thank you
-Abe

Needed a new deli case.
Needed a new deli case.. website says 1-2 days shipping, placed order, received confirmation 1-2 days shipping.. this was back on 5.17.20 - it is now 6.19.20 and no product - saying over and over it is back ordered until July - If I had a case that was completely out of order this would have been disastrous for my business. shouldn't commit to shipping in a certain time unless you can do it and communicate right away if there is an issue.. i had to continually reach out to them to get updates..

We communicated with the customer several times letting them know that the item they ordered was on backorder. Due to the corona virus, the manufacturer delayed the backorder as the factory in brazil was on lockdown. If there was something that we could have done to speed up the manufacturing process we would have, but unfortunately there was nothing we could have done in this case. We still hope to work with the customer to help them in any way that we can. We did send them a final email with some good options for them and we hope to hear back from them soon! Thank you and stay safe!
