Chef Basket Reviews

Mrs Barbra Mcintyre June 20, 2011
was over charged
I seen the advertisement on television concerning the chef basket. It was advertised for $14.99 plus $4.99 shipping and handling.IT was buy one get one free.I believe they over charged me. charging me twice for shipping and handling. I did call the number listed on the bill.Spoke with a lady. Telling her that i believed that chef basket had over charged me. her reply was that i Barbra Mcintyre could send the product back and pay shipping and handling to return the chef baskets. I believe i was already over charged.why? should i have to pay more money to chef basket.when they owe myself money. thank you for hearing my complaint.

fictitious fees
I just placed an order for the two Chef Baskets at $14.99. I listened to the advertisement on the website and at the very end it said "call now to find out about free shipping" so I did. The CSR that I spoke to did waive the S/H charge on the baskets. I asked if I could get just the baskets and forget the knife because I wasn't interested. He said that was doable. Then he told me the total would be $14.99 plus $6.99 for processing. I told him I didn't want it if I had to pay a processing fee. I stated that I would understand paying a sales tax but nothing else. He waived the processing fee also. Then he came back and told me that the total would be $14.99 plus $2.99 for tax. I asked him what the percentage for the tax was. He told me 8% for the state of California because that is where the transaction would be processed and the baskets shipped from. I did a quick calculation and 8% of $14.99 is .83 cents. So I told him this and that $2.99 was 20% of $14.99. He then adjusted the total to the $14.99 plus .83 cents. I gave him the card number to process the transaction. After I got off the phone I checked sales tax rates in both New Jersey, where I had called, and California. NJ sales tax is 7% and CA sales tax is 9.25%. My own state is 6.25%. I have no clue where he came up with the 8%. If you take the average of NJ and CA it would be 8.625%. It was an interesting experience. I feel bad for all those consumers out there who don't question things. If I had ordered it online the total would have been around $30.00 because there was no option to get anything waived. Moral: Question everything and everyone!

unauthorized charges/incomplete refunds
I ordered the chef basket and was under the impression only $14.99 + shipping and servicing fees would be charged. After clicking "no thanks" to all upsales online, it showed my card had been charged $55. I was unable to confirm or cancel my request. I called in on a Tuesday because the cs dept was not open on the weekends, and demanded all of my money refunded once the product was returned. After the rep continued offering partial refunds and me asking to speak to a supervisor, I was promised the entire refund including the processing fees. After returning, I was only refunded the product price. I called back in to the cs dept and was told it would take another 7-10 to have the rest of my money refunded. I asked to speak with a supervisor and was told right away that she was not available because she was in a meeting and of course she would call me back within 24 hours. This company is ridiculous and is trying to get anything that they can. They obviously wanted me to go on without noticing that it wasn't a complete refund. It's only $20, but the whole way this process has gone from the time it was ordered to each call I made has been terribly shady.

Delay, Double Rip Off, Return Rip Off
Like many other complainers, our order was doubled and the SHIPPING was doubled. This means when we returned the whole thing we were out 13.98 for shipping this very light, cheap to mail thing PLUS the 10.07 it took to mail it back to them!! Not only that it took over two months to arrive so it missed the event my husband purchased it for (like many other people). AND you can buy this thing at Target in their "TV aisle" for 5 bucks less than the price here (and without all the heft rip-offs like giving you twice what you ordered!). I can't express enough my DISGUST with chef basket!

Duplicate Order
I too made the mistake to call an order in for a Chef Basket (actually the TV add said two for $14.99). I ordered same and was asked if I wanted to upgrade to at "heavy Duty" basket for $4.99 so I did agreed to this. Then they started going thru multiple sales pitches to sell other things and once the sale pitch ended you could punch a button to say you didn't want same and then right in to another sale pitch..after 7 I finally hung up...never rec'd any confirmation from them, but three weeks later I received TWO ORDERS (two each order). AND, they charged me $19.98 for each order plus the $4.99 for the "upgrade". When I called "Customer No Service" the lady said I had order two orders and they don't advertise the $14.99. She said I could ship the duplicate order back and they will refund within 7-10 business days.

Rip off
Completely false advertising. I was supposed to get 2 for $14.99 and they charged me $50+ for 2 maybe 3... I am not sure b/c their website is a farce. S&H was $20.00 WTF!

Horrible Service & Shipping
I called the 800 number for the chef basket. I was a bit leary of ordering since it was all automated. I have never ordered anything like that before. Nor will I ever again. I ordered on Dec 28th. Lets see its Feb 20th now. So I called the service number of course a weekend so automated voice said to you could check your status online. Of course there was no status for my order. So I called today and this is what I was told did you check with the post office? My reply what am I suppose to check with the post office? I have nothing but a charge on my checking account. Him "oh it was sent out on Feb 3rd. It takes 15 days so you should be getting it this week. I hope it does show up. As many places that keep you updated on your orders where it is when its coming. This is a joke! I also cant wait to see exaclty what I purchased as I can see that my total was more than what I think I purchased. Never again!

unauthorized credit card charge
Product was to be a Christmas gift. Never received in December. Now 2 months later they send a postcard wanting to send product NOW...returned card 10 days ago. Company sent Chef Baskets anyway and the charge was Triple what was advertised!!! Now I have to return merchandise..Time, money...WASTE!! DO NOT PURCHASE!!!

Chef Basket
The marketing methods of this product are highly suspect. You are invited to place an order by telephone. Once you are in the system, however, it keeps looping you through up-sell suggestions and doesn't let you simply conclude the transaction. If, as happened to me, you become frustrated and hang up, you never do find out what the total cost will be. My $14.99 purchase wound up costing $44.94 with all the add-on costs. Steer clear of this outfit.
