Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 91 reviews, most reviewers were unhappy with their experience overall. Many customers reported receiving damaged or faulty products, with issues ranging from missing parts to equipment that failed shortly after purchase. Reviewers frequently expressed dissatisfaction with the quality of items, noting that products were poorly made or did not function as expected. The customer service was a major point of contention, with many finding it unhelpful, unresponsive, and difficult to contact, often reporting ignored emails and unanswered phone calls.

A few other people also felt that despite initial issues, their problems were eventually resolved, sometimes with a replacement or refund.

Equipment arrived not working correctly. Customer support was awful. They don’t respond and have refused to replace the equipment. Now going to small claims court.

cheap for a reason.

Yes there cheap but Customer service is abysmal got laughed at for saying customer service was not good. 6-8 week lead time for an oven element thats not even six months old.
How can a working kitchen wait 6-8 weeks for an oven it needs every day.
So as the saying goes buy cheap buy twice true in this case.
Will never use again.

Never purchase any products from this company.
I bought a glass cabinet. It arrived flat packed with a hammer to assemble, yes a hammer, what could go wrong????
It was a faulty product from the start and they would not send a return label for me to return after 25 calls and email. DHL wanted £100 to return and I wasn’t willing to loose more money.
They will sell u faulty, useless rubbish and charge you hundreds of pounds.
Please save yourself the hassle and don’t buy anything.

We frequently receive damaged items

We frequently receive damaged items, when ever we order and the main issue is that after we place an order, we are notified days later that the items are out of stock and refunded. This results in unnecessary delays and wasted time.

Sent out a heavy appliance with no protective packaging which got damaged in transit twice. Was told to send back at my own cost which I did £50…. No refund given despite being sent time stamped evidence of damage during delivery. Won’t answer emails or phone. Contacted trading standards and getting in touch with my bank to revoke payment! Seems I’m not the only one

RUBBISH!!!

I purchased an oven that turned out not to work. After contacting the seller, I was told to reach out to the manufacturer (Blue Seal) directly. Blue Seal then informed me that I wasn’t eligible for warranty coverage because I wasn’t the original owner. I later found out the original purchaser sold the oven to KRD Catering before it reached me.

KRD Catering refused to help, and despite multiple emails and phone calls for advice and support, I received no meaningful response. It’s been an extremely frustrating experience. This company seems more interested in making a quick sale than in standing behind the products they sell. Be careful — they clearly don’t take responsibility if you end up with a faulty product.

⭐ 1/5

⭐ 1/5 – Very disappointing experience with KRD Catering Equipment

My experience with KRD Catering Equipment was far below expectations. Communication was slow, updates were vague, and getting any meaningful support felt like pulling teeth. What should have been a straightforward process turned into a frustrating back‑and‑forth with little urgency or accountability from their side. I even had to call China for support as they didnt know anything themselves.

The service felt disorganised, and at times it seemed like no one was actually taking ownership of the issue. After this experience, I wouldn’t feel confident ordering from them again.
