Editorial review from Citysearch 1/22/2015

On December 7, 2014 I placed an order for various parts for my KitchenAid stand mixer as MendingShed.com offered the lowest prices I could find. On December 19th I called about the order as I had not heard anything about it for almost two weeks. I was told by the woman I spoke with that the order had been shipped out and I would receive it the following day (Saturday) or the day after. The day after being a Sunday I thought it strange but I foolishly didn?t ask for a tracking number before I hung up. With the holidays I sort of forgot about the order until December 29 when I called in and was told that the order never shipped and that some of the items in my order were on back order since Thanksgiving but that their shipment would arrive to their offices that week and my shipment would be sent out on Thursday of that week, January 1st, a national holiday. On January 7th I called in and was informed that the items were still on back order and it would be shipped out when they received them. \r \r On January 20th I called in again and was told that my order had shipped. I was given a tracking number but was informed that it was not valid as it actually hadn?t yet shipped but was ready to ship so I couldn?t check the tracking until it had actually left the facility. No big deal, at least I had a tracking number. The following day I skeptically checked the USPS tracking number to find that, indeed, my package was on it?s way for delivery and was at a post office in Salt Lake City, Utah waiting to go out. \r \r Today, January 22nd, more than a month and a half after ordering my parts, I checked the tracking number to find that my package has indeed been delivered, some 2,300 miles away from my home to Chardon, Ohio. I called in again and the customer service woman verified my address in California and seemed a bit confused as to how this could have happened but took down my phone number and said that she?d call me tomorrow with information about what happened with my order. At this point I?ve finally done what I should have done a month ago and gone ahead and cancelled the order through PayPal and will be purchasing elsewhere. \r \r While I can?t say that your experience will be the same I?d highly advise against using this business to make an online purchase. more

BUYER BEWARE!! \r \r I ordered some vacuum bags from this company on 10-20-14, it is now 11-25-14 and I still have not received my order. I have sent a number of emails and inquiries via their online ""contact us"" requesting the status of my order and I have never received a reply from them. I have tried to call them on their toll free number but it did not work. I called them directly, long distance, and was placed on hold for 15 minutes before I hung up. I finally reached them by phone on 11-21-14 and I was assured that my order would go out that day. It didn't, otherwise I would have been notified by PayPal! \r \r This company has the worst customer service I've ever experienced, and they have gone as far as lying to me about my order. \r \r BUYER BEWARE!!

Integrity issues? 8/1/2012

Took in an electric scooter to have the tire fixed. They called me three days later to tell me the battery they replaced less than two years ago was bad and they would fix it for another $160.00. I told them I didn't ask them to do anything but fix the tire. Feeling they weren't being honest with me, I said don't do anything and went to pick up the scooter. They charged me $21.00 for telling me the battery was dead even though they weren't asked to do anything but fix the tire. They wouldn't refund the "deposit." Recommend not doing business with these guys. more

Extreamly Poor Service 3/5/2012

I recently took my fridge to the Mending Shed to have it repaired. I dropped it off first thing in the morning, hoping that it would be repaired quicker. It took them 2 days to even start working on it then another day to let me know that they were unable to fix it. I returned to pick up my fridge where I noticed dents, scratches and scuff marks covering my white fridge. The dolly that I left with my fridge (to help make the move easier) is now broken and my fridge is still broken. I am very disappointed with the poor serive that I recieved from the Mending Shed and will never return. more

honey-do list done right 2/2/2010

We had a really old wheat grinder that we couldn't get to grind fine enough. They put on a new adjuster to make it fine enough. Where else can you do this. Only cost a few bucks, saved me from buying a new one. The employee was on the ball too. more

Mendingshed.com is a dishonnest online business 1/26/2009

I purchased a dual snow cone machine from Mendingshed.com on 1/6/09 and received on 1/10/09. I noticed it has a long black stain on the back of the machine. The customer service advised me to return the machine at my own expense for the shipping cost and they will reimburse for the shipping cost after they verified that it has a defect. They received the defective machine on 1/23/09 and they informed me that they will not reimburse for my shipping cost because they said it seems I had used the machine and they can't resell it. I was surprised to hear from this company that they will resell a defective item to other customers and they don't honor their return policy. Now, I can't get my money back on the return shipping cost which is $11. The company did ship me a replacement but I ended up paying more for the machine from Mendingshed.com when I can get it cheaper at Target or Walmart. Watch out for this fraud business!!! more

Have Everthing 11/18/2005

A heat element broke in my oven and the mending shed had a new one in stock. If I would have went to the dealer it would have been over two weeks before I could have got the part. The mending shed is a great store if something breaks and you need to replace a part asap. They have a lot of items and parts inculding discontinued items. If you call them when you need an item they ask you questions to make sure they get you what you need. They have really good customer service and really try to help you get what you need. They are located on State Street and the business looks like a big shed so it is easy to find. Parking is right out front and close to the doors. If you are a fixer upper this store is for you. The items are a little more expensive. PROS: Have almost every part CONS: can be expensive more

They have everything!! 11/7/2005

I love this place. If you are looking for a part to any appliance or tool, this is the place! It is a great mom-and-pop store that is very affordable. They will go to the ends of the earth to find what you are looking for and chances are, they will have it or get it for you! They also sell replacement parts for such a variety of appliances and tools. This is a must-try!! Love them. more

Owner Message
  • The Mending Shed is a thriving small business, with a strong belief in not wasting. Craig Palmer founded The Mending Shed back in 1971 as a repair shop for household appliances. With a love of tinkering and the help of his new wife they opened the doors for The Mending Shed on June 16th 1971. It originally started out as a one room shed, located on State Street in Orem, Utah. Now we are an authorized service center for many name brands with an experienced team of repair technicians. Items we repair include: * Vacuums * Clocks * Lamps * Electric Shavers * Microwaves * Appliances (both large and small) * Power Tools * Canning Equipment , Motorized Toys like Razor Scooters and Power Wheels vehicles. We can even do warranty repairs for most Major Tool brands, plus KitchenAid, Razor and Power Wheels products. Just bring your item in for repair, we will take a look, give you a quote and call you when it's ready for you to pick up. If you aren't sure if it can be repaired give us a call. We will tell you if it's something we can help you with, if we can't, we will tell you who can. If you prefer to do your own repairs, we make it easy to get the parts you need. A few of the things we have on hand include: weights and gaskets, oven and range elements, pressure cooker and canning weights and gaskets, common fridge and washing machine replacement parts, KitchenAid Mixer and Blender parts. If we don't have the item you need we can special order it for you. Just call us with your model number and we will find the part you need and you can pick it up when it arrives. If you are not local to us, we can ship any item we have in stock, even if you do not see the item on our webstore. Here at The Mending Shed, we know how hard it is to get information from manufacturers about parts. This is because most manufacturers don't have the time or resources to develop relationships with their consumers. But never fear - with 38 years under our belt, we've made the relationship for you. There's not much, when it comes to parts that we can't get our hands on. But if we can't get it, we'll tell you where you can find it. As always, we are more than happy to share our knowledge and wisdom of parts with you. We maintain a vast library of replacement parts for the do-it-yourselfer. Please select your desired department from the list above. Of course, not all of our specialties may be outlined in what will follow. Please call or stop on by and ask one of our friendly experts for your needs.. Power Wheels: As an Authorized Service Center for Power Wheels,there's nothing we can't find for any motorized vehicle under that name. We have skilled and experienced Power Wheels technicians standing by to find any part that you need.
