Comment on Gevalia Coffee Scam by Ryan

Okay! So I ALSO received two boxes of Gevalia. One with an Expresso Maker and 4 bags of coffee. And one with…a free blender. Wtf.

I’m 17 years old.
I do not drink coffee.
We have a blender.
They stole/bought my debit card number, and sent me a bunch of stuff for only 28$. I’ve looked around and that seems to be around what they are charging everyone else.

Up until this, I hadn’t even heard of Gevalia. However, I now have to cancel my debit card.

I was told by my bank that I’d be refunded, etc. But I’ve read that it doesn’t necessarily work like that. We’ll see how it turns out.

All I know is that I hate this company, and they should be taken to court.
AND! They aren’t getting their shit back unless they come and pick it up themselves.

I, too, was prompted by this company and stumbled on this article. Thanks so much for writing it. I’ve been playing on and off for almost 20 years and it’s attitudes just like this that has chased me away from the music business. I now play because I want to for the joy of music. Once I removed money from the equation, I became much happier. Cheers! BTW, come on out to the Hideaway Cafe on Thursday nights for one of the best singer/songwriter nights around. Great beer, great people and fantastic music. If you go, introduce yourself to the owner, John Kelly (usually behind the board) and tell him Bo sent you in. You won’t beat the sound anywhere!

Hang in there son! Don’t get discouraged,that’s kinda like giving up! Something will come along,when you least expect it! I’ve said all along that something good would happen for you at the right time and I still believe it. I sensed such a feeling of despair when I talked to you because you couldn’t find a job! Just keep praying, as I am doing also, and when the job comes,it will be just right FOR you! I love you honey and I will not stop praying for you or believing that all good things come to those who wait! Mama

Sam, it sounds to me like you’re in the business of scamming Gevalia for free coffee makers. ;-)

I was a Gevalia customer for many years, without problem or complaint. I loved their coffee, and any problems I had were resolved quickly and professionally. But that changed. I don’t know if it was new management or what, but suddenly I was getting coffee that I didn’t order in addition to my regular shipments. They told me I had subscribed to services that I most certainly had not, would finally concede to remove me from said services only after attempting to up-sell me on other offers, and then would not remove me from the services. The following month I’d receive even more coffee that I hadn’t ordered.

I only turned my back on Gevalia, after many years of being a loyal customer, when they took from me the right to control my own purchases. I’m happy that your experiences have been better, but that doesn’t mean that other people have not had nightmarish experiences in dealing with Gevalia.

You’re right. Gevalia is not an outright scam. But they definitely have problems. All you have to do is search the Internet to find scores of dissatisfied customers. That speaks more eloquently to the problem than anything I could say.

Comment on Abortion Is Mean by Wicasta

Wicasta — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 16:54:05 +0000

How about we ban all forms of murder? I’ve never understood why an unborn child has more of a right to exist than an adult human being. You can’t pick and choose who gets to live and who has to die. If an unborn child is sacred, so is an adult human being. The unfortunate truth is that most of the people who are obsessed with the unborn couldn’t really give a damn about the living adults around them. Remember… a state sponsored execution of an adult man is just a late term abortion. A life is being aborted whenever anyone is killed. The point of this post was to point out how uncomfortable it makes me that any moral issue can be reduced to a slogan on a bumper sticker.

You’re right. It’s not right to kill an unborn child. It’s also not right to kill a grown man. I also content that it’s wrong to try to force people to have children and then leaving those children to fend for themselves once they’re not a slogan on a bumper sticker.

we should ban all forms of abortion because it is not right to kill an unborn child;~,

I feel compelled to defend Gevalia …..I have responded to three of their offers for free coffee makers with the purchase of coffee over a number of years. As soon as I receive the merchandise I call and cancel my membership. No more coffee and no more charges. I have never had a problem canceling and never received any hard sale reaction when I did cancel. I don’t drink a great deal of coffee and told them when I decided that I needed more I would give them a call. The operator has always been very polite and professional.

Since you not only get Gevalia Coffee, which the best that you can buy, but a free coffee maker as well……I would say it’s one of the best deals around and is far from being a scam!!

Gevalia is in the list of e-Tailers that are connected to Post-Marketing Transaction providers that are being investigated by the Feds.
