Dont try to turn left onto Van Buren St from Mt Pleasant St because its impossible. Instead, arrive via Purchase St, turn R on Van Buren st and up the road theres a dirt lot where you turn around and line up on the Van Buren street next to the company. No parking on company grounds. Nice people, they took me earlier and unloaded me fast. Lumper is fleet check and cash only.
Before 5 AM it makes no sense to come. The office starts at 5, put the truck as close to the office as possible (to check the seal). At receiving, you give away your BOLs, and you receive papers for lumpers. Go to the entrance to the warehouse (inside the office) and wait for the main lumper. Give him these papers, tell him: where is the truck, the numbers of the truck and trailer and the name of your company, go to the truck to wait for it to check the seal. After he collects information from the entire lineup, he will approach each person and fill the seal and give the door. On average, unloading takes 4 hours. You can go to bed, you will tell the amount all the same main lumper, for unloading. Write out a check and go to the office to lumpers and there they will give you BOL. Very slow guys.
Awful place for delivery !!! Delivery is scheduled for 7 am, at the door at 6-15 am, waiting for 5 hours
The consumer store is closed until later in August of 2021. Angry that they didn’t update their hours, but great place overall.
I read negative reviews here and was ready for some horrible experience. But honestly cant complain much. Had an appointment at 6 AM. Checked in at 6 (they start at 6 now), after checking my seal got the door immediately. By 8 was completely unloaded. Paid 87$ for a full load. Very limited parking on Van Burren St! Receiver is very polite. If another load here will be offered, will gladly accept it.
Veggies, fruits, oils, seasonings, etc..great selection.
Worst customer service!Management you need to pay attention to that!!My appointment for delivery was at 5 am!At 5:30 lumper guy just showed up at the facility (they open at 5)Waited 30 minutes and finally at 6 I got a door...were unloading for 4 hours, with $261 lumper fee... and Im still waiting for to pay that fee because no one is here!!
Thanks guys great place they are unloaded my truck in a 20 min.
Had everything I needed
This Place is wastage of time. Everyday They have same excuse That their system is down. They don’t care about your time even though u have other Appointments or delivery. And if by any Chance Driver Miss the Appointment u have to Pay 500$ to make next Appointment. But they have right to Ruined up your Day. To Get Better idea or More true Info read other Drivers Good review about this Place.
Its next to impossible to find organic type stores in New Bedford. So when I found this gem I was super thrilled. I love shopping here.They sell wonderful products and have the same customer service to match.Always a great experience coming here.
I love this place but it is CLOSED, at least temporarily due to covid. You can still get some things next door at Friendly Fruit Market.
I am a Sid Wainer & Son employee, I have never been more proud to be apart of such a spictacular site to see. I have been invited to a world of beautiful different types of fruit and veggies... CHEESES
First time been here for delivery, no respect for drivers, checked in at 10:30am got the door at 11:30am now almost 4pm still waiting for bills, super slow staff i was really bad experience. I do not wanna be here anymore. Thanks for Wasting my 6-7 hours. Be aware drivers
Got a door 6 AM and did not get out of there until 2:30 PM. slowest place....Never again.
It go above and beyond Supply you with a best products
Incredible assortment of high end meats, cheeses, olive oil, vinegars, spices, and produce. Extremely knowledgeable staff. If youre a foodie its well worth the trip!
Park on the VAN BUREN Street closer to office. Had an appointment for 9am. Got the door right away after the checkin at 6am. They need to check SEAL or PADLOCK before you open the trailer. If you don’t have it you will pay $250 FINE! Paid LUMPER FEE $248 for full truck at 9am. They accept cash or check. Started to unload me at 11am. Got my paperwork at. Slow and expensive guys. Restroom key you can get on checkin desk.
A beautiful place to shop for beautiful food!Purchases today included a beautiful basket with assortment of cheeses and fruit, nicely wrapped by a very accommodating staff member, as well as delicious chocolate shortbread cookies, cocoa powder and other great foods. Love Sid Wainer & Son!
Best place around for my veggies and spices, all at a great price. Plus the cooked food. Delicious
Nice store. Very overpriced but if you need something special like Truffle Butter, they have it. It,s delicious and costly at $28.00
I went for fresh tumeric today. Ive always paid $15.00 per pound. Today $22.00 per pound. Looks like i will be finding a new supplier. A $7.00 jump. What a shame
Make sure you have lock or seal on your trailer, or you will get fine 250$ from receiver. Unloading 2 hours and easy back to dock.They asking always lumper hereThey dont have any checks and they dont have any change from cash, make sure you bring exactly amount for lumper
It is no longer open to the public
Great place.
No problem 3 hours to be unloaded ⛟
Sid Wainer & Son is a hidden treasure if you dont know of them .if you do then lucky you can always find what you need to make a special dish or a special appetizer and the people there are so pleasant and friendly & knowledgeable with all products
Not a very pleasant place to deliver to. They took 4 +hours to unload after the scheduled appointment time.During this there were no restroom facilities and the lady in the receiving office looked at me like I was crazy for asking.
Do not come here if you do not have a Confirmation for appointment.
Wish I could give them a zero. 7 hours to unload a trailer with an appointment and then have the balls to charge me? Typical NE attitudes
So upset the store is closed !
There employees to junction store Friendly store which they own take what they want thats attended for the customers they take it and even ask one another if they want it or not and if dont want it they put out for the customers thats wrong they chosing while getting paid by Sid and Weiner
We live in New Bedford. So visiting Sid Wainer and Son seems like a no brainer. Yet, it wasnt until recently that we started making bi-weekly visits. Why did it take so long?Seriously, its always worth the trip. They have, without a doubt the best produce. Great speciality items an amazing deli with imported meats, and always something to snack on if you are hungry.Fresh squeeze orange juice, Apple Cider when in season puts grocery store choices to shame. An enormous selection cheese.Find a way to visit this jewel.
Bought some expensive Madras curry powder flat tasted like I put sawdust into the sauce. Then rectified the meal the next day by biting .41 cents if atomic curry from the Harvest in Central Square, Cambridge. Complained on their site and was ignored. These people are only interested in money.
I’m very happy with this vendor and the staff including the reps who take the orders, the front people who set up your account and the drivers. Drivers I’v had for 4 years are better thanFedex and almost as good as UPS. Product is excellent though a little pricey but worth it.
We used Sid wainers gourmet shop for the two and a half anniversary anniversary party beautiful cheeses from all around the world produce delis truffles spices absolutely fantastic we had Russian tea cakes for dessert wonderful evening aboard my friend Ashleys vote plenty of food for everybody 65 people andabsolu I recommend Sid wainers f five star
Fast lumper, streets around the building allow truck parking. Easy docks.
Unloading, they wanted to charge me $200 as per their info, I had not appoitment,so in the future be sure you do have an appointment, but I did had one, I contact the broker and in 5 minutes without a charge I was getting unloaded (something to think about ah!) Never the less they also had posted on their company office that if you dont have a seal or pad lock you will have to pay $200, I did no had a seal I was not given any, but I always even with a seal I put one. LUMPER $249, so just watch out, they do want your $$$$$$$
Was given as a gift and the fruit was spectacular. The pears just melt in your mouth.
Very accommodating with a vast selection of new and exciting foods. cant wait to return!
They will charge late fee if you dont call,it seems that they have never experience a breakdown so they probably don’t understand what it is, but they do understand that you have to pay 100.00 per hour if you are late, plus lumper fee, honestly if I could I would avoid this place .
Excellent quality buy something every week. Great staff
They are too slow and wasting time for driver.
Got unloaded relatively quick for seven pallets and there was a bathroom available. But as someone else noted, most of these people are unnecessarily rude. And I mean unnecessarily rude by New England standards, mind you. Also, theres no on-site parking but you can park on the street.
They have a vacant empty lot across the street they wont let you take your break in.
Great place to deliver or pickup from fast service.
Sid Wainer... Love the freshness of all produce & the ohuderves are Out of This World Staff is friendly, courteous and always willing to help customers with finding just what they need... #AwesomeFoodService
Quick unload, restaurants on walking distance.Higher lumper fees.
Too many great things, picture perfect produce.

Not bad didnt even trip on my load cuz it was sideways.
No problems here.5am app7am out
Awesome job my ppl at said&wiener
Great place. Lots of interesting items.
Lady at the recieving office, what a bit*h with an attitude problem.
4th time here and yet again it takes over 10 hours to get unloaded. Half the staff is incompetent and rude, the other is actually nice. Weird mix. Try to avoid if you can
I checked in at 5 am. Its been almost 7 hours now and they still haven’t finished unloading. I spoke with them 5 times already, they said working progress. Slowest place I have ever been in.
A gourmet delight destination for Foodies
Teribile Company was 6:20 am morning my appt was A-T 8:00 AM Now ITS 10pm and i still Waiting for a Dock
They get it right. its fresh
Expensive, but worth it. The experience is pleasant and the quality high.
Great place to buy quality veggies, fruits, and cheese.
Take care of your truck deliverys guys, keep those trucks a rolling.
Lots of great tasting stuff.
Awful place for delivery !!! Delivery is scheduled for 7 am, at the door at 6-15 am, waiting for 5 hours ... sucks ..

Receiving times are from 3am to 8pm.I arrived @6pm, its 4am and Im still not unloaded. They called for a door @2:47am. Terrible.
