Can I use a coupon on an order I’ve already placed?
Please see sections: Coupons & Promotions
The product I received looks different?
Many manufacturers change or update their packaging without notifying their retailers. Please verify that the product is not simply the same product, only labeled differently.
Items included as part of a bundle, or as a “Free Gift” may be substituted at our discretion prior to shipment. If you purchased a specific product but confirmed that what you received is different than that ordered please contact our Customer Service team immediately.
My product has water/grounds in it?
Some of our products have been tested by their respective manufactures. Finding coffee grounds, small amounts of liquids, spot residues or residual grounds is normal with NEW products. Please note that finding any of the items above does not indicate that the product is used or defective. We have a Product Guarantee that all items we sell, unless otherwise noted in Product Title, are brand new.
Do you ship to international addresses?
Yes we do but to work out the best shipping prices we choose to do quotes. So if you would like your item shipped internationally please contact our Customer Service team. We will work on getting you a quote as soon as possible. No credit or financial options are available for international consignees. We only accept wire transfers as a valid form of payment.

Any Pre-Order may be cancelled without any processing fees as long as it is before the item has begun the shipment process.

My order shows shipped even though I cancelled it?
We cannot guarantee that our attempts to cancel an order will be successful. We will make every effort to cancel/intercept the shipment but in the unfortunate event that it has already left the warehouse it is the customer’s FULL responsibility to return the product to us.
