Site is easy to use, prices are great, but trying to buy tax exempt is a bit of a pain. Talking to chat agent wasn't helpful as I still needed to call in.

Renee Baker was amazing to work with

Renee Baker was amazing to work with, she answered any and all questions in a very timely manner. I received shipping information the next day that the order had been shipped. Hands down best service I have experienced in a long time.

Refund denied - beware you own it

I purchased a fryer basket from KaTom. My product will not fit in it; it has never been used. I still have the original packaging/box. I asked for a refund and was denied by their customer service advisor. I would expect better from them. The item did not specify any conditions that would preclude it from a refund.

We understand how disappointing it is when an item doesn't work for your application, especially when it hasn't been used. Return eligibility can vary depending on the manufacturer and the specific product, so we'd like the opportunity to review the details of your order and the information you were provided.

We've reached out through Trustpilot to gather more information, or you can email help@katom.com directly. Our Customer Success team will be happy to take another look at your case.

___________________

Upon further review of your correspondence with our Customer Success team, we confirmed that the return request was denied because this fryer basket is designated as a custom, non-returnable item. This designation was noted on the product page at the time of purchase, which is why the request could not be approved.

While we understand this wasn't the outcome you were hoping for, the decision was made in accordance with the product's return eligibility.

Worst customer service I've ever…

Worst customer service I've ever experienced. I placed a time-sensitive order over the phone after Cory assured me it would ship within two days. The next day, I received an email saying it wouldn't ship for several weeks.

When I called to cancel, Cory again promised it would ship that day or the next. It never did. After multiple calls over three days, Cory never responded, and the rest of customer service just gave me the runaround.

If you value honest communication and reliable service, save yourself the hassle and order from another company.

We understand how frustrating it would be to place a time-sensitive order and then have the shipping timeline change unexpectedly. Clear communication is important, and we're sorry to hear your experience didn't reflect that.

We'd like the opportunity to review what happened with your order and the communication you received. We've reached out through Trustpilot to gather more information, or you can email help@katom.com directly. Our Customer Success team will be happy to take a closer look into your concerns.

We appreciate you following up. At this point, we haven't been able to identify your order based on the information available in your review. If you've already emailed help@katom.com, please reply to the Trustpilot request with your order number or the email address used for the purchase so our Customer Success team can locate your order and review what happened.

I ordered from KaTom because their…

I ordered from KaTom because their website explicitly claimed the items were "in stock." That was a flat-out lie. I was forced to wait nearly 4 weeks just to get my shipment.

When the order finally arrived, it was a complete disaster. The urinal was shattered to pieces, and key parts for the sink were completely missing.

I immediately took photos of the broken items and reached out to customer service multiple times, but they have completely GHOSTED me. No reply, no support, and zero responsibility. They happily took my money, shipped broken garbage, and now refuse to communicate.

This is hands down the worst customer service and the most unprofessional company I have ever dealt with in my entire life. They are running a scam by selling items they don't support.

I am immediately filing a chargeback and disputing this transaction with my credit card company, and I will be reporting them to the BBB. STAY FAR AWAY FROM KATOM unless you want to throw your money in the trash.

This certainly isn't the experience we want anyone to have. We'd like the opportunity to review the concerns you've raised regarding your order, including the shipping timeline, the condition of the items you received, and your attempts to contact us. We've reached out through Trustpilot to gather more information, and we encourage you to respond there or email help@katom.com with your order details so our Customer Success team can investigate and work toward a resolution.
