I was looking for some bathroom tile that only Home Depot had but it was very expensive. Zoro had it for 1/3 less and free shipping. My contractor took forever to complete the remodeling and the window had passed by a month and a half to return some of the tile. I called Zoro and the customer representative said she would credit my account for the one box I wanted to return, and I didn't even have to return the box. I will definitely shop here again.
Nothing should take 7 days to arrive. If you need something in the very distant future, this is a good place to get it. Btw, the website sucks. Take note from how mcmaster carr.

I called and spoke with a customer service rep about a pump and clutch for my truck. The rep looked up the part and said it was the complete pump. So I ordered got the package to notice it's just the clutch.
So I called back and was told I would receive the pump since it's missing. Was told to wait 5 days ok.
Then I get an email saying Zoro is at fault and I will get my money back for the inconvenience.
Truck has been down for over a week not because of us but because of there error.
This place is a joke.
Hello,
Thank you for shopping with Zoro.
We have reviewed your order with our supplier and have determined that this item has an error in its listing. We apologize for this error, but this item is actually only TYPE K 8 GROOVE CLUTCH ASSEMBLY 120 LB FOOT TORQUE and not a kit.
This has been sent to our product team, and the web page will be corrected.
As this is an error on our web page, we are not able to send a replacement as requested.
Please let me know if you would like to return this item for a refund and I will be happy to provide a return label by email.
Thank you,
Michael

Ordered bifold doors site said in stock. Then received notice they are in stock and shipping in two days. Then received notice that not in stock. So I cancelled. Five days later I get notice that they are shipping. I call and even though they have not been picked up they can't cancel the order. Unbelievable! Very friendly customer service but useless. DO NOT BUY FROM ZORO!'
We are a non-profit organization, Zoro will not amend our sales tax exemption. Poor customer service on the sales tax end, which is a shame because their products and regular customer service was wonderful.
Don't use these guys. They won't issue a replacement without receiving the order back if you have an issue with a product. Save your time and money and use Amazon
I live in a complex and neglected to ad my unit #
Contacted customer service and it was already at shipper! They were able to get it pulled and properly addressed-and it arrived on time even though they said it would ship a day late
Thanks for the extra effort Zoro
The internet + your help made my day
DO NOT USE ZORO. They advertise products they do not have. If you place an order and they no longer have access to the product, they will simply say Sorry and claim they will refund your credit card in 7-10 business days.

Ordered taps from this website. They didn't ship after two weeks. Contacted them, they said to wait until December 26th (after the holidays) even though I ordered well in advance.
Long story short, they never shipped anything. Opened a dispute with my credit card company. Zoro.com is TERRIBLE with communication. They never told me why they never bothered shipping the item. They never told me why they're trying to sell an item they can't deliver.
I believe Zoro.com is a scam. I don't believe they intend to deliver on the items they sell. Like many of these chinese knock-off websites, they seem to just care about getting the initial purchase, not on following up and actually delivering, or offering any customer service.
Avoid this company as they're a complete waste of time.

Ordered a blue umbrella but received a black one. Was not able to get another one before Christmas so ask to return it for a full refund. They would not refund the shipping charges even though it was there fault the shipped the wrong item. My company will no longer be doing business with ZORO!
FedEx delivery 2 boxes of furnace filters, one box was damaged. FedEx told me to make a claim, but it was impossible for me spend the time to do it so I figured I would just take the loss. Sent a email to Zoro and they responded with we will send a new box free of charge. In this day and age you can't ask for better customer service. I will be doing business with them again.
I placed an order on Dec 4 which was to ship in 10 business days. It is now about two weeks later and still no shipping information and they can't provide me with any form of ETA. Just some communication, even bad news, is better than none!
I was a little reluctant to try ordering from Zoro because of all the negative reviews here, but I decided to take a chance because I was ordering something simple that didn't cost much money. This is one of the very few web sites I could find claiming to have in stock baby wipes in plastic tubs. (It appears that these formerly common products are no longer sold most places, presumably due to the pandemic and supply chain problems.)
Zoro's price was very reasonable, and I received my order just 3 days after placing it. They did a great job.
I ordered a product from them from a third party and had to wait 2 months to receive the product. When I finally received the product 33 days later we found out we would not need this product and needed to return. This was around the holidays (Christmas and New Year). They said they have a very strict 30 day return plan which I was out 3 days. This product was very expensive, large and will probably never be used by us. Now we are stuck with it. Very disappointed with how this was handled especially since it was only 3 days.
Ordered a simple product. A month later no tracking. One of many emails CS rep says "I can't find the tracking either. My supervisor says I need to look into this" Every delay is 4-6 days with really really dumb answers including fake tracking number. Getting my money back from my cc bank. Zero stars for zoro.
Zoro has very poor quality assurance. They do not care about their customer satisfaction, nor are they concerned about providing a quality product. I bought a heater from them and it showed up on my front doorstep demolished twice. I tried to work with them, but they have such a poor business model that they are willing to pay $160 in shipping instead of just letting me keep the broken equipment which was cosmetic in nature and giving me a discount. No thought or regard for the customer.
Tip for consumers:
Don’t use them.

On their website showed a set of socket in a grey case 1/4" for 9.99 so I ordered thinking what I saw was a set instead they shipped me one deep 1/4" drive socket misleading advertisement I complained and later saw it posted not actual product! I'm telling anyone the buys something from Zoro be careful to read it close thus guy will not be buying from them again
Placed an online order on August 5 for product. Product was received completely damaged and unusable. Called and emailed. No reply. Ended up opening a claim with paypal. They ended up send the replacement package 2 weeks later to the completely wrong business in a completely different State. Had to dispute with PayPal again... STILL NO REFUND! It's been nearly a month now, NO Credit was issued and Have not received product. Don't bother calling or emailing because they don't answer phones. Crooked and Unethical. We will NOT be buying and will be telling our co-franchisee's about them to ensure they don't buy from them either!
We have an established Farm and Trucking Company. They declined our micro-order terms, so we decided to never do business with Zoro. We have ever been denied credit and we will never stand for an denials, ever, ever. This told us a great deal about Zoro. In fact, we went to a competitor and ordered the very same product, got approved by PO and have already tendered payment. The way I See it, is that if Zoro was so quick to deny us,, how could we ever trust their judgment, going forward? We can't. Integrity is everything to us. Then, the final straw was the connection we uncovered that Zoro has with one of the most unscrupulous companies on the web. A company so bad, that they should be criminally charged. That, was the icing on the cake, In this sense, we were relieved.
Tip for consumers:
I would not allow anyone I care about to purchase from these people. They are affiliated with the "Walter Drake" company. Go to the BBB website. They have literally thousands of consumer complaints and tet, even though the BBB has posted all f them, has allowed them t purchase an A+ rating. This is how it works. The BBB themselves, are likely the biggest scammers, who have mis-led consumers, to ever face humanity. The reviews for DRAKE are absolutely egregious.

Don't waste your time. Still haven't received my knee pads after two weeks. The tracking number doesn't work. I'm getting a bad feeling about this! If I'd have known it would take so long I would have gotten them elsewhere.
I have used them before, but to get the best prices you have to be willing to wait a month or two to get your items. They won't Tell you their backorder unless you ask. When you call they say "If it on the website we have it in stock." They'll even send you a FedEx tracking number, but it says still waiting for the order from shipper for like 3-6 weeks. If you order something really obscure that no one else would ever order you might get it in a week. If your ordering a popular item, just be prepared to wait.
Tip for consumers:
Be prepared to wait for items. Many items are not in stock or are ordered from 3rd party vendors not related to Zoro.com.

The website stated "In stock. Item ships from Zoro in 1 business day." This was the basis for my decision to purchase this part from Zoro.
I received no communication regarding a shipping delay of 8 days. I will not receive this part until almost 2 weeks after ordering. Furthermore, attempting to call customer service was futile.
They have a good selection of tools at fair and competitive prices. The website is easy enough to get around. My order showed up nicely packaged and ahead of schedule with standard free shipping. I also received 20% off of my total order. No complaints as of yet. I haven't had to deal with customer service yet, they boast easy returns on there emails.
Seriously, is taking me 3 months and I still have the item that weights more than 80 pounds. I purchased from Walmart and the item arrived cracked. Walmart said to contact Zoro. Unfortunately Zoro's customer service is terrible. No one answers and the answering system keeps you in line for hours. I'm not kidding hours. Zoro promise to send you an authorization to take your item to UPS but the doc is not the correct one. So Walmart and Zoro kept bouncing back and fort and don't forget that the item is heavy.
While applying for a net 30 account I was told that my account was approved and made a order> Then i received a call from Andrea telling me that my account was not approved. I asked her if she could send out a letter of explanation so that I could see why I was not qualified, I then told her that I have over 10 trade lines on my buisness account and good credit so I was curious of why? She got very upset and told me she spoke with me before as if I was lying about something! I said maam I just got referred to your company and you have never spoke with me. She then got very upset and rude. I then told her i was glad i wasn't doing buisness with this company because she was beyond rude. Quill and my other companies will reap the rewards of my money!
