On June 27, ************** Services placed an order #**** with Chef AAA for an ********************* GDF-9M 24' Commercial 1 Glass Door Merchandiser Freezer 7.3 cu.ft.On July 10, the freezer was delivered. It was not delivered to my dept.The freezer delivered was not the one that we ordered. The freezer received was a Heavy Duty Upright Freezer/Ice Cream Freezer. Same size but different color, and different design inside and out.I did not receive the email notice of delivery until July 11, they day after delivery was made. On July 12, I tried to call customer service 2 times and said voicemail full.On Monday, July 15, I spoke with a rep who told me to send an email to customer service about the situation along with pictures. I emailed customer service informing them that the freezer delivered was not the one we ordered and I emailed them pictures of the one we ordered from their website and pictures of the one we received - which also had minor damage to the back left top side of the unit. It was during that time that I looked Chef AAA up on Better Business Bureau and saw SO many very concerning complaints about then. I told them in my email that we want them to pick up the wrong unit and cancel the order and issue a refund. I don't have confidence in this business. On Tuesday, July 16, 2024 I received an email back from Chef AAA customer services stating that "it seems that this is the correct item you ordered. The manufacturer displays that is can also be used for ice since it is a freezer" and that they would st art a damage claim on our behalf for the dent.On Wednesday, July 17th, I was able to reach someone in customer service and when I gave her the order number, she put me on hold but then transferred me to a voicemail which was full.That day I called back 4 times to try to reach a representative with no success. On Thursday, July 18th, I called Chef AAA four times trying to reach someone with no success. I left 2messages with no response.Initial Complaint

Purchased a commercial fridge on 4/22. On 4/23 *************************** called me and stated the glass doors for the fridge were on backorder. Asked if I wanted a free upgrade so I didn't have to wait. I accepted. Received the fridge on 5/1. Upon plugging it in, it did not get cool. I called immediately. They stated to unplug the unit and left a message for *******. Never heard back. I kept calling and emailing. She stated she would send it to "customer service" for warranty repair. Never heard back. Contacted again, customer service said they were waiting on a technician. Called again, same answer. Now they have completely stopped communicating with me. I am stuck with a big fridge I can't use. I would like them to come get this fridge as it is not fair to leave me stranded with it as I have no way of getting rid of it.Initial Complaint
