Whole Latte Love Policies And Procedures

Your satisfaction with the espresso or coffee machine that you purchase is the utmost importance to Whole Latte Love. Our experts will assist you in purchasing the espresso machine that best suits your needs.

In the event that you are not happy with your purchase, please look at the following policies and procedures. Also, we have listed each manufacturer’s policy. If you have any questions please ask any sales representative before your purchase.

*Prices subject to change without notice. Special sales and offers exclude all previous purchased merchandise.

*Product images are subject to change. Manufacturers reserve the right to change their products without prior knowledge; however, Whole Latte Love will make every effort to properly reflect any changes. Non-functional changes to machines are not considered misrepresentation. Due to constantly changing stock of accessories, images may not be identical.

To make your shopping easier, our staff will assist you in making your purchasing decisions. We test and actively use all products that we sell, making us the most educated espresso retailer on the net. We even offer after-sales support on all of our products. Call us at 888 411 5282.

Price Guarantee

We are the largest and most respected Internet retailer of espresso machines. That means we have put our customers first and they have rewarded us with their business. Certainly the best service is important, but we understand that price is part of the package. If you happen to find the product you want at a better price, call us. We will be happy to price match any US retailer.

Price matches must be for identical items. Items must be in stock. No "gift with purchase" items will be included. Shipping costs may apply. Price to be matched must be a price posted on a US website of a manufacturer-authorized dealer. Price match must be completed at the time of purchase!
[Whole Latte Love reserves the right to decline a price match at their discretion.]

How to shop competitively:

There have been many articles written lately about shopping the Internet and what to look for in a retailer. Some important things to remember and look for are:

  • Posted policies page:
    "Companies" that refuse to post a clearly marked Policy Page are clearly hiding something. Steer clear. Why take a chance if there is no benefit? Our Price Guarantee will ensure that.
  • Posted pricing:
    Verbally getting pricing can be an unreliable game (is the price that is verbally given going to match what is charged?)
  • Posted Address and Phone Number:
    Make sure the Internet retailer lists their address and an easy-to-access telephone number.
  • Make sure that you are ordering from a site that has a secure server.
    Never give your credit card information to a site that does not use a secure ordering system.

General Notes:
  • Parts ordered online, by phone or email are final sales. If calling to order please have manual and part number ready.
  • Please inspect all packages immediately upon receiving. All claims must be issued within five (5) business days.
  • Please note that most of the machines we sell are tested by the manufacturer. Due to this, you may find residual coffee or water on/in new machines. Most manufacturers will include a small sheet of paper stating this. All machines we sell are new machines, unless clearly stated and understood by the customer.
  • No returns on commercial and semi-commercial machines. Please ask about warranties for each specific brand. Also, no returns on coffee beans, ground coffee or pods.

Policies and Procedures:

Merchandise Returns:
Because your satisfaction is the utmost importance, we will gladly accept any returns up to thirty (30) days from the date you receive the merchandise for a full refund (minus our shipping cost), assuming all return guidelines are properly adhered to.

Also, any machines that have been personalized cannot be returned.The goal of our sales staff is to make sure the machines our customers purchase are a proper fit. If you have any questions after a purchase, do not hesitate to call us so we can provide any instructions necessary for your complete enjoyment of your new purchase.

Return authorization numbers are issued by our Customer Service department. Please call us at 888-411-5282 and we will email you a Return Authorization form that must be read and replied to. Refunds will be issued when the machines have passed inspection at our location. Machines will not be accepted without a return authorization number. If merchandise is returned without an authorization number, you will be responsible for all associated costs.
