This one relates to their drivers, who clearly need a lot more training. The driver in the trunk pictured here almost ran into me and then almost did the same thing to another car because he's changing lanes way too fast without and turn signal. read more

ReadyRefresh - Driver - Water Delivery Near Me - Houston, Texas

See all

Ever have a good friend that pisses you off so bad you break ties with them forever? That's ReadyRefresh in a nutshell. To put it simply, I've used them since 2012 and had a good experience until recently, but they are on their last legs with me at this point and there is absolutely no way I'd ever recommend them to a friend. Since moving to the SW part of Houston, every delivery has either been delayed or has had an issue. Late deliveries - you would think they'd let you know, right? WRONG....you figure it out after your water is not there when you expected....sometimes you get a message a day later that it's been delayed. I moved three months ago and diligently changed my address in their system. For some inexplicable reason, my account shows my new address by these dunderheads constantly deliver to my old address... And in their infinite wisdom to outsource their support, you no longer get the nice, helpful folks I got when it was Ozarka... now I will wait an inordinate amount of time now to even get someone on the phone. Getting someone online via their webchat is faster but usually much more generic in the level of support. My last contact with them about the address problem was "we changed your address in the system"...no shit sherlocke....it was already changed in the system, by me. Congrats ReadyRefresh! It is difficult to exhibit such a consistently bad customer experience for such an extended period...but you've managed to do it! And the icy on the cake is the unprofessional manner in which you do it..... Today I will dedicate the time necessary to find a suitable competitor to you. I'd sooner drink hemlock juice than recommend this service to anyone. read more

The worst service and insulting customer service. I have had an issue with every delivery since July 2020. The order wrong or not delivered at all. I called customer service after the 4th missed delivery day and was told .... we are behind what do you want me to do about it. She rescheduled the delivery only to then say delivery was not guaranteed and so far it has been an additional 3 days and no delivery. The only change was now I get a text each night thats says they didn't deliver and rescheduled for next day read more

Please save yourself. Do NOT use this company. Because I have two young kids that play in the water, I decided to take a break until they were older. I have tried for 6 weeks to cancel and have the equipment picked up. I was told that there would not be another charge to my CC, but the couldn't come to pick up for 2 weeks, "That's the next time we will be in the area". The driver was a no-show. Called again, they made me wait another week. Again no show. Called again, again no show. I have been speaking to managers each time that say "We will watch this personally and get back with you on that day." NO ONE HAS EVER CALLED. Now we have been charged $60. They 'SHOULD' be able to get that back on our card once everything is picked up. We also had many issues starting service with them. Two of their water coolers emptied the entire 5-gallon bottles onto our floor. Our experience with this company has had SO MANY ISSUES! read more

I am canceling my service tomorrow. They just raised their prices for the second time this year. They have two addresses for me on their website, neither of which shows my almost 3 year purchase history, so I cannot manage my account online despite complaining twice. A few months ago, I had a new card issued and forgot to update my account, and instead of calling or emailing or sending a letter, they simply allowed my bill to compound until I owed almost $150, then they canceled my next delivery and didn't inform me. I called the automated line to request extra water and that's when I was told that my account was past fue and no further deliveries would be forthcoming. I found a competitor that will provide twice as much water for the same price, including a dispenser that loads from the bottom, so I don't have to ask a neighbor to change my water bottle. (i am 58. Lifting 40 lbs to my chest and then extending my arms in front of me to load the bottle was not going to happen.) So as of tomorrow I am switching companies. Needless to say, I do not recommend ReadyRefresh. read more

Don't do business with these crooks!! They charged me a $20.00 late fee for a water delivery that I put on hold from deliveries. Lo & behold, I went outside and there were bottles of water delivered after I put the deliveries on hold. I went online to pay for the water delivery, even though I asked for it to not be delivered and they have taken a $44.00 delivery bill to $104.00 for late fees. I have been with them since 2017, and they will not work with me. I will never refer this greedy company! read more

I have been a customer for several months now and they have yet to get my order correct. My order is always messed up, there delivery driver broke my water dispenser and then ran off. They are never on time. Why even send me a text saying you will be here if you are not? There delivery drivers dropped my delivery off at the back of the building where the bums hang out. This company has now bought Ozarka so good luck to those people. I am definitely on the hunt for a better quality water company. read more

ReadyRefresh - a screenshot of a website - Water Delivery Near Me - Houston, Texas

I gave this company a chance to service our family with water delivery. When I first received my first delivery the driver delivered the bottles and dispenser. I noticed the hot water side didn't work, the driver said it takes time for the water to heat up so I said ok....it never did. Found out he never turned the switch on. The deliveries are a joke! If they can't deliver your water they will cancel your order and say we must have delivered to a wrong address, happened three times! To add insult to all of this, they said the prices are being increased. So, I canceled their services. I don't blame the workers, I blame the management model these companies operate. They nickel and dime the poor workers with inadequate wages and training. But, they will keep those stupid ass educated idiot managers to run their companies. read more

DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY! The last delivery I received was December 2021. No delivery in January, February or March (although they said 3 bottles were left and 3 bottles delivered. Then I got an invoice (auto-pay) for each of those months. Gave up trying to call because it always said the service reps were not able to talk to me. I tried I sent at least 25-30 emails and got the same automated answer that they would get back to me in 5-7 days because I was important to them. NOT! The few times I did get a response were not answering my concern. I tried for 3 months to cancel but it took forever for them to pick up my 11 empty bottles and the dispenser. Then they charged me over $80 for refurbishing the dispenser. They do not have good customer service. I would not recommend them to anyone. Vicki W. Texas read more

the absolute worst customer service I have ever experienced EVER!! I have been getting deliveries every month on the 26th of the month but this month no delivery I go to the app and see that they have me scheduled for every other month, which doesn't make sense. I emailed asking for a delivery but for whatever reason they keep resending back talking about a empty bottle pick up, but I never mentioned a pick up. the last email I got said that they can't deliver until 1/11/23 then another person said 1/17/23 but when I go online it says next delivery would be on 1/3/23. I'm so frustrated with this company . I will just go back to going to the store and buying packs of water bottles. this s*** isn't worth the headach. read more

i have been trying to get a delivery since July and it is now December 28th. They were supposed to come today and i was skipped yet again. They make sure to charge me for the cooler every month though even though it is unpluged and has not had water in months. i called customer service and was told there isnt anything they can do about it. They feel confident i will get a delivery soon, LOL really. I asked to speak with a manager and I was put back in the customer service que and waited another 10 minutes to talk to a customer service rep. HOW DO THEY STAY IN BUSINESS?? If I ran my business like this i would be ashamed of myself. bottom line is that they just don't care read more

If I could give ZERO starts I would! We had their service for over a year, the prices kept increasing, then we could not get in touch with customer service unless we sat on hold for 15-45 minutes at a time. You cannot cancel your account unless you call in and sit on hold forever. I tried to call and cancel 4 times in the last 2 months but could not sit on hold that long. Their customer service is a joke. Be prepared to sit for a very long time. I am still on hold now for the 5th time since you cannot cancel via chat or via your account. VERY FRUSTRATING! I will be canceling my home service now too! read more

DeAndre has the most contagious smile no matter how many packs of water we need in the office. Thank you for always providing great customer service! read more

Service is absolutely awful! They do not make deliveries and still want to bill you and get nasty if you do not have a dispute number where you called them and complained. Again I can not say enough bad things about this company. Customer service job none. Don't get me about the issues with calling in. Everything is robo call and at least 20 minutes to get to talk to a human being who most likely will know nothing. When you are working for a company and have other jobs to do. It is extremely inconvenient to wait 20 minutes on line talk for 20 minutes to find out they are sorry that they missed your last delivery. Your next delivery is scheduled for 2 weeks. read more

I'm so upset with this company!!! After my first month when it was time to receive a delivery my delivery date has been rescheduled and canceled everyday since 06/29/30. The new date has been changed to 07/06 now. Not to mention we our out of water. If I have to go to the store to purchase water What food is it to keep the water dispenser. Definitely looking for another company. Obviously customer care doesn't matter!!!! read more

I would encourage anyone to stay away from this company. It has been a struggle from the start. I rarely get my deliveries on the first try, and it takes several emails (because you cannot call them, the system just hangs up) for anything. I've been waiting for 2 months to get a credit for one of those deliveries I never received. My last delivery date was Tuesday, and again, I didn't receive it. Again, these are just the latest. It's been like this from the beginning. read more

This company does a terrible job with customer support. They pushed my delivery date - told me I could make changes then I log in and it won't allow changes. The order was for about $20 and my sales tax amount was $14.01. When I try to call to get answers, I am just told no one is available. I sent an email and they said they would get back to me in 5-7 biz days. A WEEK to support a client. That will be after my delivery date. I am so sick and tire of all of these companies blaming COVID for their total lack of customer support - TAKE CARE OF YOUR FREAKING BUSINESS!!!! read more

I was excited when provided the offer to receive my water at my door. I decided to just stop buying water bottles and invested in the dispenser and I absolutely love it. my only change would be the company I hire for the service. What everyone is saying in the comments is absolutely true. Customer service is terrible. When I first began my service, I called customer service regarding my dispenser. No one answered and I had to leave a message. This lady calls me randomly like a month later to address the issue and I was insulted. This company really should be reported to the BBB. They truly are a scam and I am so disappointed in ozarka for not stepping in and improving the process. I received a letter in the mail saying they reviewed my account and they made the difficult determination to terminate my account. No explanation. No termination. I've only been a customer for 3 months and I have completed all payments on time. They still delivered to me about 2 weeks later and took their money out of my account. Instead this time, they charged me $15 per 5 gallon jug when before I was only paying $8 which is still high considering a case of water (which is approximately equivalent to 5 gallons) costs $3-6 each. I'm currently looking for a new delivery service in Houston. read more

If I could give this Zero stars I would. Where do I start??? The customer service is TERRIBLE, they don't care about you or your service as a customer. I accidentally forgot to change my address on my account because I moved in a different building. (Also p.s I know that is entirely my fault for not double checking on that) I go to customer service to see if I can still have someone come up and, pick up the water machine and empty water jugs. Because I cancelled my membership with them, it was just to much money for water I rather just get two packs of water bottles and it'll last me for a month an half. Also, they were charging 60 dollars for 5 of them!!! Like what! And technically one water jug is a 24 pack. Wayyyyy!!! Freaking overpriced. they definitely scam you into signing up thinking your going to save money!. Anyways, back to the point I'm talking to customer service that I had to have get picked up today. I'm moving out tomorrow, and I obviously wanted it gone by today. They kept telling me the next pick up day would be September 26. One I will no longer be here so how we're they gonna pick that up????, Two I'm moving out of the zone they are in?, Three I do not want to be charge for that water machine. Tells me the same thing that next pick up date is the 26. I'm just like thinking to myself this is so messed up. I feel like as a company you should definitely accommodate to situations like this, I'm literally still in the same complex just in a different building. I know I should've changed my address when I moved but, still I feel like they could've really helped this situation out. They definitely need to accommodate to people who need a quick pick up or drop off when needed in situations like this. So, now I have to get with my complex to see if I can drop it off at this apartment that day. Making it harder on my part because I would have to drive all the way down here. And that's if they even say yes.. read more

stay away from this business. i ordered 10 cases of bottled water. they charged my credit card for it. i never received my delivery and they are not responding to my messages. read more

I absolutely loathe dealing with this company, and I am sorry to see that I am not the only one. I am admittedly very picky about bottled water, and really only like Ozarka. So far as I can tell, ReadyRefresh is the only service that delivers the brand, so I have kept my account for over 2 years despite MULTIPLE issues, but I am so fed up that its not worth it anymore. The prices have gone up several times, they've dropped us off the delivery schedule, and they continue sending (and charging) us for the water dispenser cartridge, despite the fact that I have called and had it removed from the order, multiple times. We rented a bottom load Lumina dispenser, that has worked well, until a few weeks ago. Now it leaks like crazy, so much so that it has destroyed a section of our wood floors. When I try to call customer service, it keeps hanging up on me at the exact same part of the menu. Do not ignore the negative reviews for this company. read more

I will never again do business with this company. They are the worst for two years during Covid they failed over and over to make the deliveries, no one would answer the phones or emails. Now they want to send my account to collections for the dispenser because I did not order any water for several months did not need any !! Now I have canceled my account and requested the dispenser be picked up, the man that answered the call in the call center didn't even say once that he was sorry to see me close my account I also request that the empty bottles and the dispenser be picked up and to remove me for collections. read more

They deliver the water to the jobsite, and when I close my account in June, they want to charge me late fees because they did not email my bill to me. My account was set up on email status for bills, because I was not getting them from USPS, no surprise there. I was told the late fees would be waived, ok thank you, went on about my business, and now I am getting late fees charged to this account for the late fees that were not taken off the account. The account is not closed, I cannot get some one on the phone, and I have sent 4 messages with no response (except 1 that said this issue has been taken care of through customer service). I don't know how it has been taken care of, and clearly your description of taken care of is different than mine. So now I am looking for a delivery service for different water, which sucks because our guys like Ozarka. read more

we have had this service for over a year....never does the driver seem to get our delivery correct...some months it is too many bottles...next month not enough..some months left in hallway outside the office ..finally cancelled service and went with another option (cheaper and easier) have been waiting for a month to get the cooler picked up ...they don't tell you that you can't return full bottles of water ..so we have had 8 of these sitting in front of our fire exit door since the beginning of the month...call customer service? What a laugh.....I have emailed (?) times....just called again...."Your estimated wait time to speak to a customer service representative ...is less than 14 minutes...." never again ...never...never again....terrible...terrible.... read more

Don't do it! Worst decision I've ever made! I've tried to cancel my service for 3 months and all they do is throw promotions to try to keep you. When you tell them you want to cancel there is no more communication. I didn't get a confirmation or anything. I was still being charged and still getting delivery notifications for the address I no longer live at! I call to let them know and had to go back through the cancelation process again and hear all of the dumb promotions to try to keep me! Three months later I get charged for $52 for the reconditioning fee of the dispenser! DO NOT!!!!! Fall for their tricks! read more

My water should be delivered 2 days ago, but until this moment, the delivery still not show up yet, there are so many people in our company waiting for the water... after I contacted their customer service, it took me about 5-10 minutes to get connected with a real human of them. Nobody will tell you that your water delivery has been delayed so many days! Now looking for a new better service. read more

Terrible company that will not respond to billing problems. Ready Refresh is either incompetent or they are a bunch of crooks. Stay away

this is the worse experience I have ever had with a recurring service. My second order was rescheduled 3 times so I was without water for 2 weeks, my second order was so incomplete its ridiculous. I ordered 4 five gallon bottles, 1 case of 6 gallon jugs of water and a case of 24 water bottles. I received two 5 gallon bottles at 730 A.M., after yet another reschedule of my order and customer service told me " I guess they ran out, I dont know why you didnt get all of your water." How did they run out at 7 a.m.?! So pissed with this company. read more

Stay away from this service!!!! Missed deliveries consistently, no communication, terrible customer service, raise their prices - what else can I say about this company which is completely horrible in practically every aspect. Save yourself the headache and go somewhere else - anywhere else. read more

This company will bill you for things didn't order. Will bill you even for deliveries not made. Impossible to get someone to assist. Stay away. read more

This is the absolute worst company ever. They really should change their name from ReadyRefresh to Never ReadyRefresh. Last order took over a month to receive. Current order keeps getting rescheduled. You call customer service and it is obviously outsourced to a foreign country. When I called today, I was guaranteed my order would be delivered tomorrow. We shall see. read more

Terrible customer service. It took me a long time to get connected. When I told the lady that I had a new address, she put me on hold without telling me first, and left me waiting for 15 minutes. Not happy with how this was handled. read more

Horrible service, the worst customer service ever. Makes me question the quality of water I'm receiving. They took payment but no product & no way to talk to anyone. The phone number tells you there no customer service. What a joke! read more

not wearing a mask when entering our office.in last 4 months reported to customer service 3x on my 3rd call to report customer service giggle when i told her ive been on hold for almost an hrs. read more

DO NOT use! They do not have a direct phone number to call and talk about your account anytime you have questions. You have to request a call and it can take up to 7-10 days, but don't expect a call. When you can get ahold of someone they are a middle man and cannot give you all the information you may need nor can they make a lot of changes to the account. I had to put a stop payment on their service from July - Oct. in order for them to call me. Even then they couldn't answer all my calls. Their prices go up every 3-6 months. Their app is a joke, their invoices never matched was what charged to my account! It doesn't matter if you have discount codes to use for a period of time, IT IS NOT WORTH THE HEADACHE! This company was suppose to eliminate the hassle of carrying heavy waters while having a toddler and a busy lifestyle. read more

Terrible, terrible company. A rep came knocking on my door so I decided to sign up to rent the dispenser and (5) 5 gallon bottles of Ozarka water not Nestle. I made it very clear I do NOT want Nestle water. Well guess what, I was delivered 5 bottle of Nestle water. I called over 10 times to come and exchange the 5 unopened bottles and they never came. Problem #2: for my delivery refill scheduled date to bring new bottles, I put 5 empty bottles outside my door and never called or brought refills, I called and was on hold for 30 minutes and was GUARANTEED, I would have my delivery today. This morning I got a text message that oops, we rescheduled for April 1st. I called to see why and was cut off 3 times after being on hold each for over 30 minutes x 3 150 minutes. So, now I am on hold again for another 30 minute hold and my wife is on her cell phone on hold as well and this time, I will DEMAND they pick up their shit and cancel my order IMMEDIATELY. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND TO NOT USE THIS CRAPPY, UNPROFESSIONAL COMPANY. THANKS read more

We have been using this Ready Refresh for at least 2 years. In the past year their service has become horrible. First off their phone system is always broken. The deliveries are getting later and later each month. I called on 6-8-21 because we were out of water and our delivery was late already. I was advised that we would receive a delivery on 6-9 and it never came. I checked this morning online and it showed delivery scheduled for 8-10:45 this morning. When on the phone with them they advised 1-3 today. Online changed to 1-5. Everyone keeps saying that they are having some delays. I understand that things happen but when they do the company needs to reach out to their clients. For us to go from a deliver date of the 3rd of the month to it now being the 10th of the month with no delivery is unacceptable. read more

This is the worst company to get water. They contract out their drivers and have no way of contacting them if your information changes. The invoices SUCKS! No matter that person you get on the phone the information you attached to your account...for example specific instructions for delivery....absolutely ignored by the office and the drivers! This is the WORST water company in Santa Monica!!!! read more

Zero customer service. Scheduled a delivery of a new dispenser/cooler bc the old wasn't working for us anymore. They gave me a delivery window of 1-5 pm. Rearranged the day to get home before 1. Got a call at 10:54 am saying they tried to deliver but no one there. Auto reschedule to a later day. Called customer service at approx 11:15 am to get them to come back out on the same day and after 20 minutes talking with them, she put me on hold. Call ended, not sure if dropped or their fault. She didn't call back despite having confirmed my number earlier. I called back, of course getting someone new and having to start over. He didn't even try to help. No service at all. Cancelled my delivery service with them on the spot. You don't want to help, fine. I don't want to pay you for your lack of service. Hope you get the decline into bankruptcy you deserve. read more

The website sucks and they direct everything through website. I confirm delivery, then they deliver on a different date. The service has really deteriorated. The online service is confusing. It seems like it is only oriented to selling more and not servicing your account. The telephone service sucks. It is only open for about 8 hours a day and directs working people like me to the online site which sucks. I have 16 bottles of water and 12 empty bottles in my garage. And I can't get ReadyRefresh to contact me or help me. I have been a customer for 20 years and I am really going to talk with Costco this Sunday about changing service. read more
