Lehman’s Reviews

I ordered a well component and paid more in overnight shipping costs than the actual part itself. Ordered Friday morning and by Monday afternoon it still hadn't arrived. Getting someone on the phone was a hassle. When they finally answered, they blamed the shipping company. They promised it would show up the next day, but I'm skeptical.

Following up on my delivery issue from July. The package went to the post office instead of my home because Lehman's misread my phone number as a P.O. Box. I still haven't heard what they plan to do about it.

After doing some research on this company's products, I discovered they claim to manufacture in the USA, but what showed up was actually made in China. That's not right, especially when you're advertising domestic production. It was misleading and I felt let down. Once I saw what arrived, I decided not to shop there again. I just can't trust a business that operates this way.

Got the 28 oz canned beef and I'm really unhappy with it. The contents look nothing like what's shown in their pictures, which feels misleading. The can is packed with chunks of meat and fat that don't match expectations. I've emailed them twice but haven't gotten any response. Still waiting to hear back. Wish I could share photos of what I actually received because it's pretty frustrating.

Ordered two cast iron potato cookers and they accepted my payment right away even though the items were out of stock. They put the order on backorder expecting a THREE MONTH wait. I heard nothing from them about the stock situation or when it might actually ship. Absolutely no updates. I asked for my money back. This is unacceptable. If merchandise isn't available, either don't take the order or inform the customer upfront. At least tell people when they can expect delivery instead of making them wait around for months with no information. Three months is unreasonable. I'm not ordering from them again. They need to fix their inventory system and actually talk to their customers. Also, the support line was nearly impossible to understand, the audio kept cutting in and out. This was my first purchase with them, and it left a bad impression.

I'm frustrated with how they handled my payment. I clicked to accept with PayPal for $34.99 but somehow the total jumped to $54.57. Their ad said four easy payments of $9 with no mention of extra fees. People understand taxes, but a 60% price jump? That's not acceptable.

I've ordered from Lehman's many times over the years because I appreciate American-made products, especially for holiday gifts. That's changing. Their customer service has basically vanished in the last year. I can deal with waiting for USA-made items, but this is too much. In October I placed two separate gift orders. They said they'd email shipping confirmations once items left. I waited and waited. By late November I reached out three times via email with nothing back. One package finally showed up without any shipping notice. I emailed again on December 7th asking about the second order. Only after I threatened a credit card chargeback did they respond. They said it shipped November 2nd, but it's December 8th now. They told me to just let them know once it arrives so they can figure out next steps and refund. I don't have a gift for the person who needed it, I'm out $60, and I'm stuck waiting even though tracking shows it's stalled.

I bought an All American Pressure Canner and had it shipped internationally. Everything arrived in perfect condition and got here quickly. The email communication was clear and helpful. I'd definitely order from Lehman's again without hesitation. Getting a quality canner shipped overseas was challenging with other retailers, but this company was willing to make it happen. Overall it was an easy, hassle-free transaction.

Skip the Bayberry candles from this company. They arrive in nothing but tissue paper, which makes for a poor presentation. Plus they don't fit regular taper candle holders, so they're essentially unusable at that price point. Shipping them back would cost almost as much as the candles themselves, making the whole thing a waste. Their support team wasn't much help either.

Found the site through a Google search for what I needed. When I got there, a pop-up appeared for 10% off my first order that I couldn't get past. I placed my order for the item plus some extras and was told about free shipping. Later I realized the discounts didn't apply to my purchase. I called to ask about it but couldn't reach anyone right away. When I finally did, I didn't get a clear answer. Really disappointing.
