- I also accepted this offer about 2 years ago. Excellent coffee, good
- coffee maker. You can adjust the time frame in receiving the coffee,
- ie., every 3 months or 6 months or 9 months, or whatever suits your
- needs. I cancelled after about a year. The reason: I gave up coffee.
- I never had a problem cancelling, just called their customer service,
- they were very nice. I just received a "come back" offer - it was
- a 10-cup coffee maker and 2 lbs. of coffee for $5.00 plus shipping
- and handling. Since I now drink decaf coffee - I'm seriously considering
- rejoining. Only this time I would cut down the amount of coffee I'd
- receive and also extend the time period. It turned out I started to
- stockpile the coffee!
- Just my experience with Gevalia....
