Awful company. Nonexistent customer service. No way to cancel without being on the phone for an hour plus. Stay away from this company. Even with canceling the service and setting up the return of the water dispenser, we can't take our credit card off the account. This company is a complete scam. Stay away. read more

HORRIBLE SERVICE DO NOT USE THEM!!!! I've been a customer for 5+ years now (due to lack of options in my area) and their service has steadily gotten worse over that time. Every 6 months they increase their costs. 5 gallon water went from $9.99 to 17.99 over this time. They charge for everything they can. When I returned my rented water cooler they charged me a $50 "reconditioning fee" and a fee to charge my credit card on top of that (as the final insult). You are better off buying your water from a local supermarket. read more

0 stars if possible. If you like completely unreliable service, with having delay after delay (often times completely canceling or skipping your delivery) with zero notice then this is the company for you! Honestly this is the worst run business I've ever had the incredible misfortune to use. If I could go anywhere else I absolutely would, but sadly Primo water has swallowed up all the smaller brands. read more

I am not one to throw negative reviews around, but man, Primo was so much better. Readyfresh triple billed me, there is no customer service available, I got 2 deliveries in one week. Their whole system is a complete cluster of incompetence. Do yourself a favor, save the headache, and stay far away. read more

Avoid Primo Water at all costs. The service is chaotic, frustrating, and completely unreliable. Absolutely terrible experience. My water delivery was rescheduled four times--without a single notification. I've been left without water for over three weeks. Every time I called customer service, they claimed I had no delivery scheduled. They'd reschedule it... and then it wouldn't get delivered. I'd call again, and once again--no record of any delivery. They told me the issue was due to the merger between Primo Water and Sparkletts. Let me be clear: your merger is not my problem. You should've planned better instead of sacrificing your customers in the process. I was a loyal Sparkletts customer for years and never had a single issue--until Primo took over. Since then, it's been nothing but delays, zero communication, and a clueless support team with no visibility into customer history or even their own system. Emails I received couldn't be seen by other agents, and no one ever knew what the last person said or did. How does that even happen? Do not sign up for Primo Water delivery. It's a broken system with no accountability, no coordination, and no customer care. read more

They have cancelled my delivery almost every day for the past month. Last week, I called and after being on hold for almost an hour, a rep came on and said they would not charge for me for delivery this month and promised to deliver a week ago; they said there was some change in ownership. But delivery never happened & I've had empty bottles on my balcony for pickup for a month. I just came to Yelp to not only leave this VERY NEGATIVE REVIEW but to also find a new water delivery service. There is no excuse for such shoddy service. In the past, I sporadically had problems with delivery but this takes the cake! Goodbye and good riddance! read more

Nightmare. Stay away. Since they merged with Primo, they haven't delivered any water to me. They've rescheduled my deliveries eight times and haven't bothered to even alert me. I just canceled service. People can deal with bad news if you tell them it's coming. But they don't warn me about any of these operational challenges. Poorly run company. read more

If I could give negative stars I would. This company is the absolute worst. Customer service is anything but helpful and delivers and non existent after their merger. I have cancelled my account because I can no longer deal with this company and even closing the account has been a nightmare. I have to constantly call to even get the scheduled for them to pick up my equipment which also keeps getting pushed. I have been dealing with this for over a month now and every time I call I have to wait on hold for over an hour. This company had a merger and then decided they don't want to service their customers anymore. Just awful. Ready to throw their equipment in the garbage at this point. The BBB will be the next call I make. read more

This company is the worst, whether they go by Primo Water, Primo Brands or Ready Refresh. It's all the same company. They've missed my water delivery 8 different times. Every time I call, I have to wait on hold for 15 to 20 minutes, and then its the same story, they say they will definitely make the next delivery, only to lie and not show up. It happens again, and again and again. Meanwhile they charge your credit card and refuse to give you any refunds. Stay away! read more

This company is a scam. Since their 'merger', they've completed zero deliveries in the last 4 months. What's worse is that instead of admitting they are not set up to fulfill service at this time, they keep 'rescheduling' new deliveries that miraculously disappear on the day of without any explanation. Reps are blaming drivers and other reps. Only successful transaction has been their billing system, which is now reported as fraud and the better business bureau will hopefully step in soon. It's a real shame how complicated delivering water seems to be for these people. It's almost sad, but I bet a few morons up top definitely cashed in with this 'merger'. Enjoy going out of business very soon. read more

ReadyRefresh - Reused bottles for the last 5 months. Nice job. - Water Delivery Near Me - El Monte, California

My arrowhead delivery keeps changing your company doing, not mine. It's frustrating because i never know when it's coming, look 1 day and then another day it gets pushed out. I try calling to find out information and left on hold for hours at a time( is there no one on duty to pick up the phone. What is your company direction. To piss off your loyal customers? I just don't understand. I order 5 bottles at a time my last delivery should have been 5 but was left only 3!! What is up with that? I have been reading reviews from others so I see I'm not the only one have issues! This should be top priority with your company not down at the bottom of the list! OLEASE FIX THIS SOON OR YOU WILL BE LOOSING ANOTHER CUSTOMER(S)! Hrvirgo23 read more

No definitely not! I got this service at Costco Norwalk. And have had nothing but problems with deliveries since we got it. We don't get it as a luxury item is a medical necessity we are an older couple and need it to be delivered. We have gone twice 30 days no water drivers marking deliveries customer refused or unable to deliver. We have shared our phone numbers and I work from home so there is no excuse NOT deliver the water. She we have a good driver we do show gratitude and tip them but it's a shame to say it's more complaints then we are sharing gratitude. If there was another service in the area I would definitely give them a try. read more

GREEDY, DISHONEST COMPANY. Check your bank statements if you have automatic deductions! Ever since 2022 their service has been awful. No complaints prior . Now every single month there have been problems. Today was the last straw when I got a late fee. Why do I have a late fee if they automatically take my money out? That's when I started backtracking! They also charged me for deliveries I skipped! They also are supposed to come once a month, but when they gives you a delivery date....., they will come a week early to squeeze more deliveries in. THEY CHEAT! I got a HUGE amount credited to my account when I talked to customer service BECAUSE WHAT THEY DID IS ILLEGAL! They offered that money back QUICKLY too! They know what they are doing. Since they dont come on their scheduled delivery dates, I often had excess empty bottles. They used to offer Bottle pickup . Now if you want them to pick up your empty bottles on a day they aren't delivering , they charge you $9.99 .....EVEN IF ITS THEIR FAULT THE BOTTLES WEREN'T OUT BECAUSE THEY CAME A WEEK EARLY. They refused to comp the fee and told me to throw the bottles in the garbage. That's a huge part of the reason I have bottle service, I don't want the extra unnecessary plastic waste. Ready Refresh does not care. I have thrown away many plastic bottles over the last year because I don't have the space to store the empties and they refused to come on the scheduled day no matter how many times I called. They'd still come early. They also frequently have website issues so you CANT SKIP a delivery. Ready Refresh does absolutely everything to take your money. Be ready to watch your financial statements meticulously and stay on top of order dates or you will see them sneaking in 2 orders a month consistently. They want 20-24 orders a year , not 12. SNEAKY COMPANY. They were never like this before, but they are like this now. I have a year and a half of receipts. Whoever is in charge should be ashamed of themselves. read more

The bad is your delivery schedule really doesn't hold up on the day it's supposed to be delivered. The company use to be good before you changed over to Primo. read more

ReadyRefresh, Primo brands, Sparklettes what ever the company name right now....I just wanna say the delivery, billing and customer service they currently provide doesn't deserve any stars. They give a very poor service in all areas. I'm very disappointed and frustrated with the service they had provided these past months....late delivery, lousy customer service (wait time takes 2+ hours) billing unnecessary late fees on invoice, and doesn't honor waiving delivery fees due to late delivery that happen more than twice. We end up canceling our service. read more

Constantly missing & rescheduling deliveries for the past month. No notifications...they just don't show up. The only way I know delivery date is "rescheduled" is by checking app. Website has been down for three days now. Have sent several messages with zero responses. Used the original company, prior to this unholy Primo merger, for 25 years with no issues and a quick responding customer service department. It is painfully obvious to me that they are now just trying to suck all the capital from the business and are not interested in providing anything that resembles service to their ex customer! read more

Too many mistakes with my delivery orders. Even when they offer to make it right, the delivery was wrong. I don't believe they have a handle on their service so I can't use them again. read more

TERRIBLE! I ordered one ceramic crock and three 3-gallon each bottles of water for delivery to begin July 28. Three 3-gallon each bottles of water were delivered July 17; and when I spoke with the delivery driver to let him know I had ordered a ceramic crock dispenser also, I was advised that there were no ceramic crock dispersers available. So I emailed Primo Brands on July 17; received automated email response. On July 18, the $ pending charged for the crock and water order had disappeared from my bank account so I phoned and was advised that their records now show that NO crock had ever been ordered -- which is WRONG because I have the printed out original order from July 15 -- but that they also Cannot or Will Not pick up the bottles of water they delivered in error eleven days early! WORST EXPERIENCE WITH ANY COMPANY IN 50 YEARS! read more

The delivery service is beyond terrible since ready refresh took over. They decided to start delivering every 6 weeks instead of the every 2 weeks that I've been getting for the last 9 years without bothering to tell me. I'm getting ready to cancel. Do not bother with this company. read more

Horrible service, every day my delivery changes, was scheduled to receive a delivery today found out it been canceled

Have called left message to return my call regarding business delivery of water service. Since merging Primo Water with Ready Refresh. there is no such thing as "Outstanding Service" with Ready Refresh. We have not had water delivery service at all since the merger and return calls. Calls are just on hold, you never reach a live person. This is how you lose customers. read more

Terrible service. Website doesn't work most of the times. Not recommending at all. They suck!!!

their merger with Primo is the absolute worst! cancelled deliveries, no one answering calls, no on-line support. They have bought everyone and now are a poorly run monopoly. Good time for the State to actaull step in and do something. read more

This company is horrible. I cancelled my delivery and they delivered it anyway. Then they think they can charge me for something I didn't want in the first place?! I have tried numerous time to get in contact with the company to resolve this and nothing! I was put on hold by a lady for 2 hours only for me to call on another phone and be met with a voice message that said, "Sorry, we are closed for the day". Terrible service, do NOT give this company your money. read more

What a nightmare! Since Primo Brand has taken over Ready Refresh, everything is an absolute nightmare! I haven't had any water delivered in over a month. They keep pushing the delivery date and never show up. If you call, get ready to be on hold for over an hour. When you finally get an agent, they promise the delivery will happen but it doesn't. Then the same thing happens all over again, they keep pushing the delivery date forward. I have received Arrowhead Water delivered for over 30 years and never had problems until now. Whoever runs Primo needs to be fired! I looked into changing water companies but guess what? Primo is the Distributor for all the different waters. They have Sparkletts, Crystal Geiser and more. It's a monopoly, Primo controls the market. The government shouldn't allow this to happen. Competition is good for the marketplace. Since Primo has the entire market they don't care. Let's all close our accounts and force them out of business! If they don't have the infrastructure to service the Ready Refresh accounts why did they acquired them? Greed is something else! Good luck everyone! read more

Good product. Great staff. However, their delivery schedules are a mess and a nightmare! Justin the supervisor is absolutely USELESS! I canceled my service for the stupidity of the responses given me! read more

had a delivery scheduled today again a no show, this is 3rd delivery this has happened with since this merger, filed a BBB complaint at this point they have no answer when you call my front yard is loaded with 16 empty jugs and we have no water. the only help i get was they can give me 20.00 off my next 3 deliveries but i would have to get a delivery for that to work then was told they reach out to their dispatch to find out what happened, but they wont know for 24 hrs. meanwhile yesterday they were ready to cancel my delievery for 27.15 payment they tried to bill on 7/9 but is due 7/25 dont know what happened to this company but it might be time to cancel and warn anyone going to use this company to avoid at all costs read more

Ready refresh has been the worst service we've ever had and for anyone looking for a water provider, hopefully you won't make the same mistake I did and sign up with this awful company. I had issues with everything including deliveries that weren't completed, constant price increases, cheap rental equipment not working properly and all these issues began only 2 months in to the service. We canceled after about a year and we were charged a ridiculous refurbish fee of $50 for their water cooler that is not worth that much (extremely cheap looking compared to what we've had from sparklets with no fee's once we cancelled). Customer service was usually ok up until we began trying to cancel. We contacted the company 3 times until we were finally able to scheduled and equipment pick up but even then the request was ignored and more bottles were delivered instead of taken away. It took about 3 months of the equipment taking up space and just sitting in our home until they finally cancelled and their equipment was finally hauled away. Overall I would never recommend them to anyone and hopefully this review saves someone from making the same mistake we did and sign up for this terrible service. read more

Terrible service. No communication. Deliveries always late sometimes by a week. Extra deliveries are never available even within a week. Customer service never has answers or makes a minimum effort to help, just read their scripted responses read more

For the 6th time this year they have raised the price and messed with my delivery dates. I've had it with their ineptitude and mismanagement. The price increase is because the State of California is suing them for overuse of their water lease and so we are paying for it. Much easier and cheaper to purchase Crystal Geyser at Vons for 4 gal for $5. Canceled our account. read more

Place was horrible. I should have read the reviews before I did this. They skipped my delivery 3 times. This last time they changed it after they told me on the phone it would be here between 2 and 4. DO NOT THIS COMPANY. It's a waste Update: it's been a few months and they have actually been delivering on time. read more

I wish I could give these people zero stars. They only delivered once and I'm being charged for 5 months of service. I've even received messages saying my orders were delivered when they weren't. They sent me a postcard asking that I contact them with my new address when I had not moved When I complained and asked for a call to straighten it out, they sent me to collections. There is no one to speak to at this company. I'm reaching out to Sams Club to let them know since I signed up in their store. They should not feed their customers to the sharks. Completely unacceptable. read more

Trying to cancel service. Customer service non-existent. Feeling bad for the driver, but I will still cancel service if I can get to a customer service agent. In the meantime, I will skip all deliveries. read more

Shockingly HORRIBLE customer service! Avoid at all costs. The water taste fine but I would rather drink out of a public water fountain than sign up with this company again. I always thought Nestle was a progressive, modern, fair company but this experience blows my mind.  I was heading out of town for a while and tried to login to "pause" my delivery of water bottles. They don't offer such a concept so I thought the water delivery guy would probably notice that I am not taking the water bottles inside to my house from my front porch. Well, he didn't use any common sense and I now have 24 five gallon bottles of water sitting on my front porch. It this isn't a signal to be burglarized, I am not sure what would be. Crazy! So, you can't cancel online either. I called them and was 47 minutes later, I spoke with a manager. She informed me that if was totally my fault and I could have canceled the service online. I went online to do this while she was berating me on the phone. I found the button that stated "cancel service" and hit it. A pop-up screen showed up that said call the 1-800 number that I had just called. They don't offer any chat either. So after explaining my situation to the manager, she said she would give me a credit for 8 bottles of water, around $65. I NEVER received this credit. I also explained to her that I was out of town for another month and having 24 bottles of water on my front porch was a signal to thieves to break into my house and to please have these picked up and I would pay for the cost. She assured me that this would happen. one month later and they are still there. PHOTO attached.   Apparently Nestle operates on a old school model of trapping the customer and making very hard to cancel service. News alert Nestle!! This model is NOT sustainable and you are losing customers like me on a daily basis. The negative publicity that people like me are creating against your company will eventually break your outdated business model. read more

See all

Be warned that as of July 2020 there's a new $50 'reconditioning fee' that they'll spring on you when you return your cooler, even if you had the service prior to that. And there's allegedly no one who can waive the fee which is BS. I don't have any issues with the delivery service or water quality but I won't use this company again because of this. read more

I should have heeded the other reviews. Incompetent, unreliable and possessing zero customer service. This much is obvious after less than two months. They've missed every scheduled delivery and charged me anyway. Hours wasted on the phone being passed from one hapless agent to another. I can't even get them to pick up their dispenser, which is now growing cobwebs. Sign up with these nitwits and you'll end up boiling your own urine. read more

I've had a terrible experience with this company for the last year. Their email reply correspondence is between 7-10 days and completely impersonal.

Filing a complaint with the better business bureau. read more
