Checkout
To place an order, add the items you wish to purchase to your shopping cart. On the cart page, just below the subtotal, you will find our Shipping Calculator. Be sure to correctly choose "business" or "residential," enter your zip or postal code, and then click "Calculate." This will provide shipping costs for the items in your cart. Continue with checkout by selecting "Proceed to Our Secure Checkout" and follow the prompts provided. Watch this tutorial video on how to place an order. Watch a tutorial
Your Cart ID is a six digit series of letters and numbers that uniquely identifies the item(s) in your cart. This ID is found at the bottom of the side bar on the right side of the page. If you have questions regarding items in your cart, please provide this ID for the Customer Solutions Specialist helping you.
When this occurs, we first recommend clearing your cookies and cache for ALL history. If this does not help, we recommend using a new and/or updated browser (such as Google Chrome or Firefox).
This will occur if JavaScript is disabled. To resolve the issue, we recommend enabling JavaScript. If your employer has this blocked and you cannot enable, you can opt out of selecting a saved credit card and manually enter the information instead.
This can happen when the cart page is open on too many separate tabs or browser windows. The site is not able to recognize which items you would like to proceed with through checkout. We recommend closing any extra tabs or browsers with an open cart page before moving forward with the checkout process.
This pop up window will appear if our address verification system does not immediately recognize the address provided. To proceed, simply select the suggested address provided or select “I wish to continue with the address I entered.”
Company
As the largest foodservice supply company on the internet, we are always looking to hire motivated, smart, and forward-thinking team members! Please visit our Careers page to learn more.
We are solely an online company so we do not have any store locations. All orders are made directly on our website and will be shipped from one of our warehouses or manufacturer's locations. Our warehouses are distribution centers and are not designed for customer pick up.
We receive many requests for donations to benefit organizations throughout the country. While they are all worthwhile causes and we appreciate the request to support, we are limited in the amount of giving we are able to provide. There are local organizations and charities we support each year in the areas surrounding our corporate and warehouse locations. Regretfully, we are unable to grant requests from our customers.
To become a vendor on our site, visit our Vendor Application page. Simply fill out the form on the bottom of the page as completely as possible. If approved, we will get back to you within two weeks to let you know. If you do not hear back, please feel free to re-apply again in six months.

Registered customers can sign-up for 'Shipment Updates via Text' in their account settings to receive an SMS text message when packages are out for delivery, delivered or encounter a problem. Text messages will be sent for all packages shipped after you complete the sign up process. This service may not be available and/or may not include tracking for packages that are shipped directly from one of our manufacturers.

Text messages may also be sent when there is an urgent need for information to continue to process your order. These situations could include (but are not limited to):
• Payment processing errors
• Expedited order delays
• Confirmation of order details
• Delivery requirements

Text frequency based on user orders. Message and data rates may apply. Customers may opt-out at any time by sending STOP to (717)288-7303 or unsubscribing in their account settings. (Note: if you texted STOP but would like to restart, text START, and make sure your number below is correct.) Responses are unable to be received via text.

Our participating carriers include (but are not limited to): AT&T, SprintPCS, Metro PCS, T-Mobile®, U.S. Cellular®, Verizon Wireless.
We offer installation services in select metro areas for select equipment purchased through our site. To be sure everything goes smoothly when it comes to installing your new equipment, please consult our handy Equipment Installation Checklist prior to finalizing your order.
Please visit the Track Your Order section of our site or, if you are a registered user, you may log into your account and go to the My Orders section to check the status of your order.
You will be e-mailed a copy of your invoice once your order is placed and after the order ships from our warehouse. To obtain another copy, log into your account and go to My Orders. You will see an option to “Download Invoice” or “Email Invoice” for each order you’ve placed. If you do not have an account with us, please contact a Customer Solutions Specialist to request a copy via email.
While logged into your registered account, go to the product page for the item you wish to purchase. Above the Add to Cart button, you will see the option to turn on Auto-Reorder and select the automatic shipment frequency that is convenient to you. If you would like to combine several products on a single Auto Reorder, visit each product page and turn Auto Reorder to the ON position, choosing “Add to an Existing Auto Reorder”. To view or edit existing Auto Reorders on your account, go to your My Account page and select Orders, then Auto Reorder along the left-hand sidebar.
We have a feature that allows you to easily determine the estimated delivery date for items currently in your cart. Select the items you want to purchase and click the “Add to Cart” button on the item’s page. Once all the items are in your cart, enter your shipping zip code and location type into the shipping calculator below the subtotal on the cart page. After entering your shipping details into the calculator, a green hyperlink that states “When will I receive my order?” will appear under the shipping options. If you click this link a box will pop up on the screen showing the estimated delivery date for each of the items in your cart!
As an e-commerce company, our primary form of communication is email. All order updates will be sent to the email address used when the order was placed. For this reason, please be sure to provide a valid email address when placing your order.
In-stock items generally ship in 1-2 business days. For items shipping from the manufacturer, estimated processing times are listed on the item’s page. If you have a time constraint on your order, please feel free to contact us before placing the order and we’ll be happy to check availability for you.
If you believe you received the incorrect product, please keep the item(s) unused and in the original packaging and reach out to our Customer Solutions team. They will work with you to reship the correct item or offer a refund. We may require a picture of the incorrect product you received and will cover the cost of return shipping for that item.
There is no minimum order requirement to purchase from our site. We accept all orders large and small!
Great care is taken when packing your order, but on rare occasions an item may have been missed. If any part of your order is missing, please contact us within 5 business days of receiving your order so we can find a solution for you!

***If your order shipped via Common Carrier, please read carefully!***
If any item or packages are missing, you MUST do the following:
  • Note it clearly on the delivery receipt before signing it
  • Keep your copy of the delivery receipt
  • Contact us within 1 business day

While we do our best to avoid this, part of a shipment can occasionally go missing during transit and we must go to the carrier company to start a trace for the missing items or receive reimbursement if the items are ultimately deemed lost. By signing the delivery receipt you are taking responsibility and ownership for the shipment in the condition noted. If part of your shipment is missing and you did not note this in any way on the delivery receipt, we CANNOT guarantee any compensation or replacement of the missing items.
Auto Reorder saves you time and money by automatically sending you go-to products at an interval of your choosing. Select items are eligible if the Auto Reorder feature is displayed on their product pages above the Add to Cart button. For each subsequent automatic shipment, you will receive a 25% shipping discount.
The Rapid Reorder feature of WebstaurantStore allows registered users to view a list of items they have purchased in the past, as well as add these items to their cart. This feature makes it easy to find and order the items that you need the most. In order to use the Rapid Reorder feature you must be a registered user.

The process of adding items to the cart from the Rapid Reorder page is slightly different than other pages where you can add items to the cart. For starters, you must be logged in to view your personalized list of products. After you have started to shop and have logged in, click on Rapid Reorder at the top of your screen. In order to add items to your cart from the list of products, enter the quantity of each item in the list you would like and then click on the "Add to Cart" button at the bottom of the list. If you have more than 10 items on your Rapid Reorder list, click on the "Next" and "Last" links to view more.
To ensure our customers’ safety online, all orders go through security checks before we start processing them. Please keep this in mind while ordering, as there may be a slight delay before processing for a small percentage of orders. If additional information is needed to help ensure the order’s validity, we will reach out via email.
To save you the hassle of handling multiple shipments, we will make every attempt to ship your order in one shipment. If multiple shipments of your order are required, we will send you tracking information for each separate shipment to help track your order. When split, the full amount of the shipping costs will be charged in the first shipment. If you want part of your order sent with expedited shipping and the other part sent using standard ground shipping, please place two separate orders.
Payment
Yes, by selecting the Credit Key payment option, within minutes most customers will be able to receive an approval and amount before placing their order.
Yes. We are able to accept most prepaid credit cards as long as the card has been registered with a billing address. Only a single credit card may be used to process the order.
We are not able to accept orders via phone or fax. All orders must be placed online through our secure server.
We offer financing through a third party, Credit Key, who offers traditional financing and Pay in 4 options. The Pay in 4 option will split payments into four interest free payments made every 2 weeks. Orders up to $200,000 may be eligible to qualify for a 12-month financing term through Credit Key. If you are interested in financing with a company other than Credit Key, please contact our Payments department at [email protected] with the company name and an email contact for the company.
In order to pay by check, money order, ACH, or wire transfer your order must be over $500 to qualify. Next, add all of your items to your Shopping Cart and proceed through the checkout process. On the Review & Payment screen, click the “Alternative Payment” button. Your order will be placed on hold, and you will receive an email with an invoice and information on where to send the payment. Please do not send your payment prior to placing your order. Once your payment has cleared, the order will be released to process for shipment. Personal checks are processed on Tuesdays and Fridays and will be held for 5 business days from when they are processed while they clear. A holding period is not required if a certified check is provided but will still be processed Tuesdays and Fridays only. All other alternative payment orders will be released as soon as the payment is received, with a minimum of 1 business day delay to receive payment. Please note that if a return is requested and the original form of payment was an Alternative Payment Method, like a check, the return will be processed in the form of store credit.
To place a financing order, select the Credit Key payment option in the cart before proceeding through checkout. After taking a couple minutes to complete the application you will be notified if you are approved and for how much. After approval you can proceed through checkout as normal. Orders under $2500 may qualify for the Pay in 4 option and orders over $2500 may qualify for financing.
Here at WebstaurantStore, it is our top priority to ensure your personal information is secure! To do this we employ the best security available on the net for transmitting your personal information: SSL. SSL safeguards your information and guarantees your privacy while ordering through our site. You can see SSL is being employed by the lock icon at the bottom of your screen and the 'https' in the address bar, as opposed to the 'http' that is normally there.
All pricing is listed in U.S. dollars ($) on the website. When ordering outside of the United States, the funds captured for an order will be converted to the local currency of the ordering country on your credit card statement. The rate of exchange is locked in when your order ships, not when the order is placed. Credit card companies may also charge a currency conversion fee. Please contact your bank for further details.
We use a third party, Credit Key, for our Pay in 4 and financing payment options. Upon an approved application you will be able to select your payment option, including term length. Applicable interest rates will be disclosed after approval.
Please email our Customer Solutions Department at [email protected] or Live Chat with us.
We accept all major credit cards including MasterCard, Visa, American Express, and Discover. We also accept alternative payment methods including check, money order, wire transfer, and ACH transfers for orders with an order total of at least $500. We offer traditional financing and Pay in 4 through a third party, Credit Key.
We recommend having the following information ready to fill out your application:
Pay in 4:
  • Social Security number
  • Bank account details or credit/debit card

Financing:
  • Social Security number
  • Business owner name and email
  • Annual Business revenue
  • Bank account details or credit/debit card
Your card will be charged in full once the first item(s) on your order ship. When you place an order on our website, an authorization is placed on your bank account for the amount of your order. An authorization is a communication from your bank to our payment system letting us know your card is valid and the required funds are available. These authorizations may show as “pending” on your bank statement until the funds are captured. If your order has an extended lead time, a member of our Payments team may reach out requesting to charge the card in advance to avoid losing the authorization.
Sales tax will be charged on orders shipping to the states of Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, Washington DC, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. If you are tax-exempt and shipping to one of these states, visit your My Account page and select Upload Tax Exempt Form to upload your exemption form for review.

All warranty claims are handled based on the manufacturer’s warranty policy. For items being used internationally, please confirm if the warranty is valid in your area.
Compatible Models are listed as applicable and kept as accurate and up-to-date as possible. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact a Customer Solutions Specialist before placing your order.
Equivalent items and any associated illustrations or descriptions are presented for your reference. These are items which, based on available manufacturer information, are suitable replacements for the stated original item. These equivalent items are not necessarily authorized, sponsored, or endorsed by the manufacturer of the stated item, or by the manufacturers of equipment compatible with the stated item; any OEM names mentioned are registered trademarks.
In order to maximize the products we’re able to offer to you, some items on our website are not normally stocked in our warehouses. These items may be shipped directly to you from the manufacturer, or brought into our warehouse with our next stock order from the manufacturer and then shipped to you.

These items are marked "Special Order" underneath the price on the item's page. Please understand that Special Order items may not be able to ship within 1-2 business days like our regularly stocked items. As a result, we encourage you to contact a Customer Solutions Specialist prior to ordering if you have questions about the delivery time of a Special Order item!
Let us know! We want to be a one-stop-shop for all of your restaurant equipment and supply needs.

You can utilize the live chat feature on our website or send an e-mail to [email protected] and let a Customer Solutions Specialist know how we can help you get the items you need.
"Works With" items are products that are guaranteed to work with the item you are viewing, such as lids that will fit a cup or casters that will fit a piece of equipment. If an item is not listed in the "Works With" section on a particular product page, then we do not guarantee that it will work with the product you are viewing and do not recommend that you purchase them for use together. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact a Customer Solutions Specialist before placing your order.
Returns
We are unable to accept returned consumable products. This allows us to ensure the products are good to use, untampered with, and have adequate shelf life.
A restocking fee will be deducted from your return credit to cover the cost of processing the items back into stock. This fee is 20% of the item(s) cost for commercial locations and 30% for residential locations.
While we're unable to exchange items, we can set up a Return Authorization so you can return the items you no longer need and place an order for new items.
To create a return, you can log into your account online, click on "My Orders", then select "Return Items". You can then select the items you'd like to return. If you do not have a registered account, please contact one of our Customer Solutions Specialists to set up a Return Authorization for you.
With a few exceptions, all regularly stocked products can be returned within 30 days of receipt as long as the product is unused and in its original packaging. We are unable to accept returns for consumable products and customizable products. Similarly, not all Special Order products or products shipped directly from the manufacturer (“Drop Ship Products”) can be returned. Any return requests for Special Order or Drop Ship Products must be issued by our Customer Solutions Specialists.

Except for original payments made by wire, check, ACH, or through a leasing agreement (each an “Alternative Payment Method”), a return credit will be issued to the original payment method upon receipt and inspection of all the returned Products. If your payment was made using an Alternative Payment Method, your refund will be in the form of store credit. You will also receive a refund in the form of a store credit if we are unable to process a return to your original payment method (for example, if your credit or debit card has been closed). Regardless of the form of refund you receive, shipping charges paid at the time of checkout will not be credited along with the return. Also, an applicable restocking fee will be deducted from the amount due to cover the cost of processing the items back into stock. This fee is 20% of the item(s) cost for orders delivered to commercial locations and 30% for orders delivered to residential locations. You are responsible for the cost of return shipping. This includes any brokerage fees, duties, and taxes for international returns.
Sales Tax & Exemptions
Your tax exemption cannot be automatically applied to orders without a registered account. Before you can upload your tax exemption documents, you will need to create a WebstaurantStore account. You can register for free by clicking here My Account.
Yes, you may upload more than one tax exemption form to your account. Please note that documents must be uploaded one at a time. If you are applying for tax exemption in multiple states, please be sure to select the appropriate state in the drop-down menu next to the document uploader for each form that you submit.
State tax exemption documentation requirements vary from state to state. If you are not sure which states will accept your tax exemption form(s), please reach out to [email protected] for assistance.
Before submitting your tax exemption documents, please be sure to create a registered account. Registration is free and you can create an account by clicking here My Account. Once registered, you can submit your tax exemption documents by clicking on My Account and then Upload Tax Exempt Form in the Billing section on the left-hand side of the page. If you will resell all orders placed through your account, it would be helpful if you emailed us at [email protected] with the following message: “I have submitted my resale certificate for tax exemption on my account. All orders placed through my account will be resold.” Watch this tutorial video on how to submit a tax exemption form. Watch a tutorial
If the tax exemption form that you submit is incomplete, we cannot accept it and will ask that you fill out the form in its entirety. The tax team is not permitted to edit or alter tax forms in any way.
It is your responsibility to ensure that you/your organization is eligible to claim an exemption from state sales tax. If you're unsure, contact a tax professional for advice before you apply for tax exemption with us.
After reviewing your forms, a member of the tax exemption team will reach out to you within 7-8 business days regarding the exemption status of your account. If necessary, we may require additional information or adjustments to your form. Please be sure that the e-mail address associated with your WebstaurantStore account is active and the best e-mail address to reach you.
Since documentation requirements can vary depending on which state the order was shipped to for export, please reach out to [email protected] with any questions. Please note: if you have been contacted by the tax exemption team requesting that you upload a bill of lading, please refer to the guidelines below:
  • Email the bill of lading/documentation to the tax team or upload it directly to your account. Warehouse receipts and custom documents are not used for tax exemption.
  • Please provide the order number(s) included for each bill of lading/document.
  • Confirm all items have been shipped to you on an order that you are requesting a tax refund for. The tax team cannot refund tax on orders that have not been fully shipped.
  • Be sure that all documents have corresponding dates with your order numbers. (Ex. If a bill of lading is dated 1/1/2020, but the order was placed 2/1/2020, this could not possibly be the correct bill of lading for the order). Bills of ladings that do not have corresponding dates with orders will be denied.
  • This documentation must be submitted to the tax team within 60 days of the purchase date.
  • The tax team will review all documents, issue necessary refunds, and notify you via email once this has been completed.
If your tax exemption form has an expiration date, we will note this on your account. As the expiration date approaches, you can expect to receive email notifications from us regarding the next steps if you would like to maintain your tax-exempt status. The first email will be sent to you one week prior to the form’s expiration date. If we do not receive a new form in that time, a second email will be sent the day the form expires notifying you that the tax exemption associated with your account has been removed. These emails are automatically sent to the address on file with your account, so please be sure that the email associated with your WebstaurantStore account is active and the best email address to reach you.
Tax exemption documents vary state-to-state. If your tax exemption form has sections that need to be filled out, please complete all fields. This will help to expedite the processing of your form.
  • If the document requires a signature, the signature provided must be handwritten and may not be electronically generated.
  • If your form has a Seller or Vendor field, please add our information in those fields: WebstaurantStore, 40 Citation Lane, Lititz, PA 17543
  • If your form asks you to specify single purchase exemption or blanket exemption, please be sure to do so.
Tax exemption forms are issued by state government officials only. Please visit your state government website for more information.
Contact the Tax Exemption Team by emailing [email protected].
As an online retailer, WebstaurantStore is required to collect sales tax. Sales tax is determined based on the ship-to state. Please upload the required tax document for each state you are shipping to.
Every tax exemption document must be reviewed by our tax exemption team to ensure that all required information is provided. For this reason, your account will not be immediately tax exempt and it will take 7-8 business days for you to receive a response regarding the tax exemption status of your account. You will be notified by e-mail if your documentation has been accepted or if we need additional information.
Shipping
Due to the high volume of orders we process daily, we are unable to use our customers' shipping account numbers.
All orders placed through WebstaurantStore will be shipped to their destination via a commercial carrier. For safety, insurance, and logistical reasons, customers cannot pick-up orders from our warehouses or vendor locations.
By requesting a FREE "Call Before Delivery," the carrier will contact you approximately 24 hours before the estimated arrival of your order to schedule a delivery appointment using the phone number provided at checkout. Selecting this option may add an additional day to your order's transit time. A 4-hour delivery window is typical; this may vary by carrier and shipping destination.

A "Call Before Delivery" is required for residential deliveries and recommended for businesses with irregular hours (Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. "Call Before Delivery" only applies to the item(s) in your order shipping via common carrier.

If the carrier misses the delivery appointment, they will reschedule it. If you are unavailable to accept your delivery during the scheduled appointment, you will be responsible for any redelivery fees owed to the carrier. Additional fees will apply if you require a time-specific delivery in which the typical 4-hour window needs to be shortened.

If a delivery is unable to be completed because a "Call Before Delivery" was not selected during checkout, the carrier may charge a redelivery fee in order to reattempt delivery. In these situations, we will contact you via email regarding the fee and charge the card on file if necessary in order to avoid additional fees with the carrier.
If you are registered with us and have multiple shipping addresses saved to your account, you are able to ship full orders to multiple addresses. Simply proceed through our secure checkout and click on Ship to Multiple Addresses on the Review and Payment screen. From there, you are able to check all addresses, select specific addresses, or uncheck all previously selected addresses to ship only to the default address. Remember, if you choose to ship to multiple addresses, your order will be duplicated, meaning it will ship in full to all locations selected. Please also note that we are not able to split up an order to ship to multiple addresses.
If you do not have an elevated loading dock or forklift to unload your items from the truck, you will need a liftgate and must select this option at checkout. The "Common Carrier w/ Liftgate" option includes the fee for the liftgate. A higher fee may apply if a liftgate must be added after an order has shipped. If delivery is unable to be completed because a liftgate was not selected during checkout, a redelivery fee may apply in addition to a liftgate fee. In these situations, we will contact you via email regarding the appropriate fees and charge the card on file if necessary in order to avoid additional fees with the carrier.

Some items like large outdoor ice merchandisers or very long pizza prep tables may be too large or heavy for a lift gate and will require a truck-level loading dock. If you do not have one or have questions, contact our Customer Solutions Team.
Yes! In addition to the United States and Canada, we can ship most items via an international air service to Austria, the Bahamas, Bermuda, Brazil, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, France, Germany, Guam, Hong Kong, India, Ireland, Italy, Jamaica, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Philippines, Puerto Rico, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Trinidad and Tobago, the United Kingdom, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

We also ship to U.S. based freight forwarders; however, you are responsible for contacting them to set up an account before placing an order. Freight forwarders will charge additional fees for their services, which are separate from our shipping and handling charges. We are unable to accept and load customer containers directly from our warehouse locations. All of the prices on our website are in U.S. dollars.
Yes, we do ship to Canada via an international air service and common carriers.
Yes, additional fees may apply if you are shipping to a limited access location, such as a university, prison, military base, or country club.
We are unable to ship to PO or APO/FPO boxes, or Viabox at this time. All carriers require a street address to complete delivery of your order.

We know you want your products delivered in perfect condition as fast as possible, so we invest in distribution in an effort to be the fastest, most reliable shipper in the industry. Whether you're buying for a large franchise, a small business, or your own personal needs, there are a couple of great ways to save money on shipping and take advantage of our excellent service and transit times!

  • Sign Up for WebstaurantPlus - With the new WebstaurantPlus service, you can get free unlimited shipping on most of our products for a low monthly fee! Plus, with a low minimum order size, operations of all sizes can benefit from this service.
  • Ship to a commercial address if possible - Our partnership with shipping companies allows us to save when we ship to commercial addresses and we pass these savings on to you! A commercial address is defined as any location with a public entrance and posted hours of operation.
  • Think ahead and order more - At WebstaurantStore, the more you order the more you can save on shipping. If you're ready to place an order and it's only for a few items, try to think ahead and see if there's something more you can add to your cart.
  • Switching from Ground to Carrier - Note that once your order gets large enough, it will switch from ground shipping to carrier shipping which is when you really begin to see significant savings. Once you reach that point, you will notice a small jump, but you can then add large quantities of products with minimum effect on shipping and your per item shipping costs could actually go down.

We hope that these tips help you save on shipping with WebstaurantStore and if you have any additional questions, please feel free to use our live chat button to speak with one of our friendly customer service specialists!
You can calculate estimated shipping and handling costs before you check out right in the shopping cart! To calculate shipping and handling charges, add your items to the shopping cart. Just below the subtotal, you will see the Shipping and Handling Calculator. Be sure to correctly choose "business" or "residential", enter your zip or postal code, then click "Calculate". This will provide shipping and handling costs for the items in your cart.

Certain large and/or heavy items will be shipped via a common carrier service. These items are indicated as such on their description page as well as in the shopping cart with a item notification. All other orders ship with a small package carrier like FedEx. Occasionally, when large quantities of items are ordered, we may opt to use a common carrier service for smaller sized items. Whether your order will be shipping via small package or common carrier, the online shipping estimate will tell you exactly how much you will be charged for shipping.

Yes, we can ship to U.S. based freight forwarders for customers wishing to export their items to a country we do not currently ship to. You would be responsible for contacting the freight forwarder to set up an account before placing an order. Freight forwarders will charge additional fees for their services. Any duties, taxes, or fees from your forwarder are separate from our shipping and handling charges.
Commercial carriers will deliver the vast majority of our products to a residential shipping address. If you don’t have an account set up and you operate a business out of your home, you must select "residential" in your shopping cart because the carriers still consider your address residential. If you create an account, our system will automatically select “residential” for your address in this situation.
If any part of your order is damaged or missing, please contact one of our Customer Solutions Specialists within 1 business day of receiving your order so we can find a solution for you.

If any item or packaging is damaged or missing, or if you have any doubt about possible damage, you MUST do the following:
  • Note it clearly on the delivery receipt before signing
  • Keep your copy of the delivery receipt
  • Contact us within 1 business day
  • Keep the damaged packing materials for inspection
  • Take pictures of the damaged items and packaging

Though our warehouses give great attention to packaging every order for shipment, damage can occur in transit. In the case of damage we must go to the carrier company to receive reimbursement for these damages. By signing the delivery receipt you are taking responsibility and ownership for the shipment in the condition noted. If part or all of your shipment is damaged and you did not note this in any way on the delivery receipt, we CANNOT guarantee any compensation for damages. Signing the delivery receipt without noting any damage means that you have received your shipment in acceptable condition.

For more information, watch this informative video about Common Carrier Shipments.
If any part of your order is missing or damaged, please keep the items and packaging and contact us within 5 business days of receipt so we can find a solution for you. We may request pictures of the damage to help with this process.
There are rare occasions where our freight carriers may lose a shipment. In these situations, it’s our highest priority to find your items and we will work with the carrier to do so. If your order shows as delivered but never arrived, please contact us within 5 days of the listed delivery date. Once notified, we will take appropriate measures to locate your shipment. Please note dock checks with the carrier may take 3-5 business days to complete and traces with ground carriers may take 1-3 business days. If your shipment is located, we will continue with delivery to your location. If it is deemed lost, we will work with you to provide a satisfactory resolution.
You are responsible for checking the internal temperatures of refrigerated and frozen products immediately upon delivery to ensure they are received at food-safe temperatures according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) guidelines. Please contact us within 1 business day of your shipment’s original ETA if you have any concerns about the temperature or conditions of your shipment.

Once the shipment is received you are responsible for storing or handling the items properly to maintain food safety.
Orders shipped into Canada may incur additional duties, taxes, and other fees to cross the border. These charges will be billed to you directly from the carrier or your broker and will not be reflected in our shipping costs at checkout.
Due to the strict time-frame we have to deliver refrigerated and frozen food items to you in acceptable condition, if an item is damaged or missing, please contact us within 1 business day of your shipment’s original ETA so we can find a solution for you. We may request pictures of the damage and for you to take a picture of the temperature of the item to help with the process.
If your order is shipping via an international air service, they will handle all of the documentation for your order and contact you regarding any charges for this service. For common carrier shipments to Canada, we require the use of a broker to process all paperwork. They do charge a fee, which can be discussed directly with the broker. We will provide the Canadian Customs Document and Commercial Invoice with your shipment.

NAFTA certificates are not a required document for low value shipments, and the absence of one will not delay your order being processed through customs. We request NAFTA certificates for high value items; however we are unable to guarantee the document for lower-valued items.
A broker is an independent contractor paid to facilitate the import of items into your country from the U.S. If your order is shipping via an international air service, they will broker the shipment on your behalf, and these charges will be billed to you directly. If you have already determined a broker for your shipment, add the broker's name, phone number and additional information on the Review Order page at checkout. If you did not provide your broker’s information during checkout, we will contact you to obtain this before processing your order.
A freight forwarder combines shipments for individuals or companies into truckload lots to transport to your final destination/country. We can ship to U.S. based freight forwarders for customers wishing to export their items; however, the customer would be responsible for contacting the freight forwarder to set up an account before placing an order. Freight forwarders will charge additional fees for their services. Any duties, taxes, or fees from your forwarder are separate from our shipping and handling charges.

If your order is being shipped to a U.S. based freight forwarder, all of our Shipping Policies apply when it is received into their warehouse. WebstaurantStore will not be held responsible for any damaged and/or missing items or material differences should the freight forwarder not follow all applicable Shipping and Returns policies, or should such issues occur in shipment from the freight forwarder’s location to the final destination.
A liftgate is a motorized platform attached to the back of the truck that will physically lower your order to the ground so that you can take it inside your business or home. The truck driver will place your order on the ground using the liftgate and you are responsible for bringing it inside.
The CBSA (Canada Border Services Agency) Assessment and Revenue Management (CARM) project aims to modernize and simplify the collection of duties and taxes for commercial goods imported into Canada. Once implemented, it will provide a modern interface for importing into Canada, give importers self-service access to their information, reduce the cost of importing into Canada, and improve the consistency of compliance with trade rules.

Why is this important for Web customers?

By May 2022, it will be mandatory for all commercial importers to be registered to the CARM Client Portal to manage customs releases and submit payments.

CARM Release 1: May 25, 2021

Release 1 launches the CARM Client Portal, a self-service tool that will facilitate accounting and revenue management processes with the CBSA.

The CARM Client Portal is available for importers, brokers, and trade consultants, and will allow you to view your account's transactions and statements, request a ruling, and pay invoices with new electronic payment options.

CARM client onboarding

  1. You will need to register for a Canadian Business Number (BN) and Import-Export (RM) program account number with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) if you intend to import goods for your business.
  2. A “GCkey” or Sign-in partner is required for every individual to create their user account in the CARM Client Portal
  3. You will need to provide your BN and RM account information and provide the following information:
    • Legal entity name of the business and the full business address
    • Two of the following three transactional questions:
    • Recent transaction number and associated duties & taxes
    • Last transaction payment amount
    • Last Statement of Account balance
  4. Delegate access:
    • Identify who you will designate as the Business Account Manager (BAM) for your CARM Client Portal (you can delegate multiple Business Account Managers).
    • This role should be given to an active operational user, and not necessarily the owner of the company. It is highly recommended that businesses assign at least two Business Account Managers.

Common carrier shipping is necessary when an order is too large or heavy to be delivered ground by FedEx. These items will be delivered to your location by a tractor trailer. Standard common carrier delivery is curbside and does not include unloading the merchandise or delivering it inside your location. You are responsible for unloading the items from the back of the truck and bringing the shipment inside your establishment. If you are not able to do this yourself, please consider adding a Lift Gate service to your order.
All of our smaller, ground orders are shipped with a parcel carrier like FedEx or UPS for domestic and FedEx for international orders. If you need a ground order guaranteed for delivery faster than the standard transit time, we offer Next Day or Second Day delivery for qualifying shipments. For larger, palletized orders we use a nationwide network of freight carriers. Standard common carrier is curbside delivery.
Our warehouses strive to have orders processed and ready to ship within 1-2 business days. Most products ship from one of our warehouses within the U.S. However, since some items will be shipped directly from the manufacturer, delivery times may vary. Common carrier deliveries typically range from 1 to 10 business days for delivery, depending on your proximity to the shipping location. Ground shipping can typically take anywhere from 1 to 7 business days. If your delivery time is over a holiday, please add an additional day for delivery. Our warehouses observe the following holidays: Christmas, New Years, Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day and Thanksgiving. Shipping companies may observe additional holidays. All standard ground delivery times and common carrier shipments are estimates and are not guaranteed.

If you need your order more quickly, you may select Second Day or Next Day in your shopping cart (availability dependent on your location). These options guarantee that, as long as the items you’re ordering are in stock, the order will be prioritized in our system and arrive by the end of the following business day (Next Day), or the end of the second business day (Second Day). These options are not available for common carrier orders.

These orders must be placed before 2:00 p.m. EST to ship same day and are only available for delivery on business days (Monday through Friday). For orders shipping directly from the manufacturer, shipping cutoff times may vary. Next & Second Day orders received after 2:00 p.m. EST will be processed on the following business day.
In order to control the amount of time perishable items are in transit, they are only shipped on select days of the week based on which shipping method you choose.

Ground: Orders ship Monday through Wednesday.
Second Day: Orders ship Monday through Wednesday.
Next Day: Orders ship Monday through Thursday.

Orders placed after the cutoff will ship the following Monday.
We ship stocked items from our warehouses in Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky, Georgia, Oklahoma, and Nevada. Some items may ship directly from the manufacturer’s warehouse.
Shipping costs are calculated on a per-item basis. For this reason, adding items without free shipping to your cart will add a shipping charge to your order.
The WebstaurantStore is a U.S.-based company, therefore duties and taxes will be assessed on any items shipping outside of the United States. Duties and taxes depend on the type of items being shipped, harmonized codes, and the discretion the customs agents have in evaluating these costs. The charge shown on our website’s shipping calculator will not show these fees.
