On 10/24/2025 I purchased a Gevi brand Espresso Machine
I didn't get a receipt, order number, tracking number or anything. 13 days later it showed up. It is not a sturdy machine and they neglected to post CLEARLY that I need an adjustable bean grinder. Bottom line, I don’t like it.
I contacted support via chat, asking for a refund and was asked for the order number. I said, I never got one and gave her my email and home address thinking they should be able to pull it up from that. Nope. I was told to contact support, which I did.
I said in my email that due to their lack of communication (I had emailed them asking for a tracking number and never got the dignity of a response) and the product was not to my liking, I want a refund.
They asked for a description of the issue. I told them it does not fit my needs and I don’t like it.
The following is the gist of their response:
Hello Brian
From your description, it is not clear that the machine has a "hardware failure" (such as damaged parts, functional failure, and other problems that meet product quality defects). It is more likely that the machine's design characteristics and operating logic do not match your usage needs and expectations.
We truly value your trust in Gevi, and we want to work with you to turn this experience around. To show our commitment to making things right, we’d like to offer you two options that we hope feel fair:
If you’re open to keeping your current order, we’d be happy to issue 12 packs of descaler (A $20 package) as a gesture of apology for any inconvenience you’ve faced. This way, you can continue using the product without extra hassle—and we hope this small adjustment helps you enjoy its features fully.
If you still prefer a full refund, we want to be transparent with you upfront (per our official website policy for non-functional returns): We would need to deduct 50% of the order amount, and the return shipping fee would be covered by you. We know this isn’t ideal, and we wish we could adjust these terms—but these guidelines help us maintain consistent support for all customers, ensuring everyone receives fair treatment.
And since we are not the seller of the insurance, the purchased insurance will not be refunded.
We’d hate to see you go, but ultimately, we want you to choose what works best for you. If you have questions about either option, or need help with next steps, please don’t hesitate to reach out—we’re here to assist you right away.
Thank you for giving us the chance to make this right.
