Since 1991, J.L. Hufford has proudly served our local community and the online (since 2001) community by offering high quality coffee and kitchen cooking products while representing them with expert advice and support both before and after the sale. We know our customers want to enjoy beverages and meals in their homes with better results and less hassle, so more time can be spent with family and friends. Any marketplace can ship products to your door in 2 days--and so can we--but very few can speak from hands-on experience to help you find the product that's right for you while following up with any questions asked once it's in your home. That's our passion, and we hope it helps us stand out from the big box competition.

Great Customer Service

I have ordered twice & this last time I called & spoke with Chris (he) regarding a coffee maker. He took the time to walk out in the warehouse, take a picture, & email it to me for the question I had on it. What a company!!! Received my order(s) in great time & will order again. Thank You!!!

$130 shipping to return a $250 product

I purchased an enclosure for a mixer that only slightly reduced the noise. There was a note on the website order page for the product that indicated free shipping and returns. I ordered the enclosure thinking that if it did not work, I could return it. I missed the fine print on the offer which required me to sign up for something to get the free return.

The enclosure was almost $250. It cost slightly over $130 to ship it back in the timeframe they insisted upon.

I will never shop with them again.

MoccaMaster replacement spoons

We purchased two replacement coffee measuring spoons for our MoccaMaster coffee maker. The purchase price for two spoons was less than one on another major on-line site (even after factoring in taxes and shipping fees). The items were packaged carefully and arrived ahead of schedule. First time users, but we will definitely order again from J.L. Hufford for ourselves and Holiday gifts!

Terrible after sales service

Terrible after sales service - complete lack of interest in responding to issues, let alone looking after the customer. This is a small time espresso machine retailer who lacks the resources or ability to support the machines they sell online. AVOID!

Was looking for a Vitamix machine…

Was looking for a Vitamix machine during the holiday season. Spoke to rep via the chat. Reassured me everything would be okay and they were a trusted site since I didn't know much about the company. They had no problem answering my questions and I purchased my blender. Arrived on time, package was received in excellent condition, and saved an additional saving with this company. Definitely will recommend this company.

Ripoff

Bought a set of Mauviel cookware for my son. He received an identical set so I returned mine. I was charged a $350 restocking fee. In addition, I realized after the fact that J.L. Hufford's prices were inflated about $400. This company is a total ripoff. Find somewhere else to purchase Mauviel.

Reply from J.L. Hufford

Being the item was a duplicate we expected to receive the item in New condition just as it was sent. Upon inspection we noticed there was a piece of lettuce which was stuck to one of the pans and finger prints which were not present when we shipped the item. The crate in which the pans were sent was also damaged upon return. Unfortunately, we, are not in the business of selling used items and which is why a restocking fee was applied. The pricing is set and dictated to us by the manufacturer. To discount the item below what the manufacturer authorizes is a violation of our agreement with them. The situation is not ideal for either party.

Big disappointment!

I did receive an email later on that day from Hufford telling me that they had not received my voice message? and asking how they could help. By then, I already contacted Jura directly which always comes through with flying colors.

Do not follow standard Amazon rules.

Ordered a knife sharpener from J.L. Hufford via Amazon Prime. Ordered in early July. Was due on July 6. Package lost in shipping. Asked for refund multiple times and they continue to drag their feet. This is outside of Amazon policy. Still not resolved with multiple emails. Could you please just give me my money back. I will order a knife sharpener from someone else.

$100 restocking fee for a defective item!?

We ordered a Richmond Tea Kettle that did not whistle. We tried everything to get it to work. As per instructions, we repackaged and returned immediately for a refund. The company sent a video of a tea kettle and insisted it works and charged us a $100 dollar "restocking" fee for an item that was defective. We tried to communicate our concerns respectfully and received rude responses. Be wary of this company standing by their products. I have never seen such poor customer service!

We take great pride in our customer service we provide to all our customers. We received correspondence from the customer stating they were having some difficulty with the kettle whistling. After attempting to troubleshoot the concern we determined we needed to get the kettle back to do a hands-on inspection. We received the kettle and our technician performed the inspection on the kettle which was returned. The kettle whistled as it should. We sent a video of the inspection to the customer to review. We retested their returned kettle to ensure it was not an anomaly and again it whistled properly. We provided the customer the option of us sending back the kettle since it functioned or if they insisted on returning there would be a restocking fee due to the kettle now being used and not able to be sold as new. The customer had chosen not to receive the kettle back and a restocking fee of $84.75 was applied.

a trap! dont buy from there!

the experience buying from this place is beyond unsatisfactory. we made a mistake in purchasing the machine but it was too late to cancel as it has been shipped. we called their support and they said the shipment has been rerouted to go back to their shop. BUT the shipment still came and we had to pay for the shipping even though the box was unopened. when they got the package, it took them a good few days to acknowledge receipt and i had to sent couples of email to ask for refund. When we got the refund, they took 10% of the price (although they did not do anything) and on top i had to pay for $60 shipping. This shop is a trap and YOU SHOULD NOT BUY FROM THERE. they even said they normally charge for 20% restocking fee which is absurd. this shop does not live up to the American way of customer service . it is the worst service i have experienced so far. not helpful at all. they just want to keep the money with them. a trap!!!!

We take great pride in providing exceptional service to our customers. Unfortunately, the customer's daughter made an unauthorized purchase on her credit card and once we were alerted we did everything possible to intercept the package and have it returned to us before being delivered. The fees charged to the customer were to reclaim the expense of her daughter's error we had incurred and nothing more. We, as well as the customer, agree on the situation not being ideal for anyone.

Excellent

I purchased 5 bags of Big Train Chai after receiving a previous from them through Amazon. By ordering directly from JLHufford, I caved and additional $5 per bag. Excellent value and very fast shipping.

First time I used this company

First time I used this company. I spent time on their website to find the items I wanted. When I struggled to use a discount coupon I had, I called the company and received great assistance from the associate who helped me maximize the discounts available to me. I will use again.

5 Star Customer Service

I was told about JL Hufford by a friend and I have already told another friend about this company. I received 2 or 3 calls from "J" letting me know when they were receiving the coffee brewer from the manufacturer and when I could maybe expect to receive it. As it was for Christmas, he was concerned and it showed. I was very appreciative and was very happy with the service and delighted to have received not only free coffee filters but the delish Highlander Grogg butter rum coffee with my order. I am very happy with the Technivorm Coffee Brewer too.

Best In Class Customer Service

We ordered the Rocky based on quality & performance reviews. When we used it we were concerned about a noise it made. Hufford sent us a new one within a few days.

Out of the box, the second one had a long scratch and a grind adjustment latch that seemed to "catch" when depressing it to change settings. Again, Hufford immediately sent us a return tag and we had the new one in 3 days.

To ensure that the third one didn't arrive with issues, we asked Hufford to break the factory seal and inspect it before shipping. Although this seemed to be an unusual request, they were more than willing to have their certified technician do so.

Some retailers would have written us off as "too fussy" or have complied very grudgingly with our requests for replacement. Hufford did neither. They couldn't have been more clear that they wanted us to have a great buying experience.

End Result: We now have the grinder we had hoped for and are happily enjoying great quality coffee.
