Company information:
E-Food Depot
Oklahoma
United States
efooddepot.com

I was thrilled to find so many southeast Asian products at very low prices...but after ordering over $40 worth, they had very few in stock to send. I received half of what I ordered nearly a month after purchase date. No communication, no response to multiple emails. It's not a couple months later, and they have something I need and cannot get anywhere else. Stupidly, I give them another chance. Not in stock. I try something else. Not in stock. Every single thing I put in my cart had a vague "this item is not in stock. it will ship in 10-14 days..." notice in the cart.

Perhaps worse: they happily advertise $4.99 flat rate shipping. It's a scam! Only if you buy a tiny lightweight item can you get this rate. Anything like a bottle of sauce, a few packs of noodles, and a "weight surcharge" is added to your cart. I had $22 worth of products, and according to their system, a 7lb box, and the weight surcharge on top of the $5 shipping was $8, for a total shipping cost of $13, over half my cart value. Not worth it.

Now I stick to asianfoodgrocer.com and veryasian.com, both of which give the best service and products.

Very bad service. I've ordered my stuff on this web a month ago but still haven't received those. Additionally, their customer service is very bad. They've never answered any of my emails. it sucks. Be very careful, don't buy things on this site

same thing happened to me. i ordered ALOT of stuff from them and they never shipped it.
i emailed them asking why and they said they shipped it to me. they responded back with
a tracking number. so, i figured, "now we are getting somewhere."

it turns out that it was a lame tracking number as it never even left their state! i even
called the shipper to try and track it down, but no luck.

but they had the NERVE to charge my card again earlier today for backordered items.

it's been a month! i am calling my credit card first thing tomorrow and do a chargeback!
stay as far away as possible with this site!

They never shipped any of the items ordered which were prepaid by Paypal.
After 60 days with no response to e-mails, chats, phone calls to there office at (405) 605-8778 I requested ans received a refund from Paypal. They did not respond to Paypal either.
Paypal is Good at their word.

Stay away from ifooddepot as they are evil.

I order some things the beginning of Dec. for Christmas and still have not recieved them. After I sent many emails with no response, I finally got someone to answer the 888 number and was sent an email saying that my items were in stock and would be mailed out sonn. Still nothing. I responded bak to the email and told them to cancel my order! I would not EVER use them or recommend them again!

I've been waiting 2 months for a simple order. They do not answer the phone, they do not answer emails. They need to be shut down.

I placed an order on the third and have yet to receive it. The order still says in progress. I have sent e-mails and also called to no avail. They never answer the phone or return e-mails. However, I did some researching online and found out the owners direct contact information. I tried at his work but he was not there I will try back later. Also his home number does not have an answering machine so I was unable to leave a message. Here is all the information I turned up:

This is an update to my previous post... if you call the (405) 605-8778 number just ask to speak to customer service... I got right through. They had one item back ordered but she informed me she would ship out the other items today as a partial shipment. The lady was very nice I hope everything ships out today.

This is an addition to my first post. I finally recieved my order 2 months after the order was placed. I also cancelled the order the end of Dec. 2009. I had to dispute the charge with my bank and ended up cancelling my debit card. I filed a complaint with the BBB and ask that you all do too. It takes about 5 minutes. This company doesn't need to be in business!!!

I ordered 2 bottles of syrup from eFood Depot. I received a torn and empty flat rate envelop (not a box) with USPS stamped "received without content. A few days later I received another envelop - this one included my second bottle of syrup - this item survived the shipping but the envelop was torn and badly damaged. I have sent several emails regarding the shipping mishap and requesting feedback about what can be done about the missing item - there is no response from the company. I called the number and it goes to a "overfilled" voicemail announcement where I cannot even leave a message. I will never deal with this company again. I feel ripped off, particularly since I paid a surcharge for shipping to Hawaii.

I have worked in this company. These people sell expire food too. On expiration data they put sticker and sell item. This company has many websites for prepaid calling cards (phonecardsmile.com etc). You wont belive it but they have about 15-20 websites. They keep creating new website to attract people and make them fool... Thid company should shut down.

Liers liers liers...Very bad service. Pleaced order a month ago but still haven't received it. Last week I was promissed that will shipp out in 3 days. Today when I called the home office was told that only one item out of eight is in and Patricia GM will be calling me. Their customer service is very bad and dishonest. They've never answered any of my emails as a matter of fact when they run out of lies they hung up on you. Don't buy things on this site and contact www.oagok.gov consumer complait on line if you experience the same, lets shut this frauds down!

Efooddepot.com has stolen my food picture for their website commercialization. I have sent 3 emails and no reply back to me at all.

Same thing happen here to me, they do not answer email, when asked a question, no answer, nothing. The items are shipped 2 weeks later after I made my order. I got expired item from them and also did not receive all the items I ordered. Emailed them for dozen times, NO REPLY!!! I opened disputes with PayPal, and I did not receive any reply from them. DO NOT BUY FROM EFOODDEPOT

Problems here as well. Product was never shipped. I eventually got a refund from PayPal.

Worse happen here when I filed a dispute with PayPal because of did not receive the full order. PayPal rejected to refund me because they claimed "refund only for unshipped item", but my case is that I did not receive the full item, basically should be the same.
I sent many message to PayPal stating that I did not receive all the items i ordered from the seller. I explained from A to Z of what happen during the purchase. However, PayPal always reply with same email!!! They are RETARDED or DO NOT LOOK AT OUR MESSAGE AT ALL!
