My Vita Mix is being delivered tomorrow and I am very excited, however I don't see that the tamper is included. Is that even possible....at this price

You need to contact the company from which you purchased this. The tamper is part of the package; apparently, it was omitted in error.

I received mine cellophane wrapped, I did not see any signs of tampering. The formula appeared the same as when I purchased from a Dr.

You said NOT WITH US, but it was a few hours ago because it was in my cart, then it disappeared from my cart so I found it and clicked on it several times, made sure it was from you, and it still said $995.00, so I had to order from someone else. Must be a system glitch.

No. That wasn't for me. When I received my package only a crystal case was in there the protective and flip case was not in there. Im returning mine for a refund...if you're going to buy becareful.

No, there is no tamper; but check YouTube, etc - it is recommended to NOT ramp or only lightly. I use the back of a spoon.

These are Drop Shipped as are most of our products, direct from the Distributor. I was waiting for some answers from them on other issues today but they never did get back to me. So did it come in just a plain corrugated box or in some other manufacturers packaging? I can't imagine, as large and respected as this distributor is that they would ship anything but the genuine article. Maybe it had something to do with the shipping container and the fit. If you just received it and think that it is not genuine or you may want it replaced, do not use it for now if you have any reason to think it might be returned. I won't be able to reach them now until Monday and if need be I can have them call you to explain. I really don't think there are any knock offs or other brands of that product but we can ask them. Are there any other product numbers, embossed markings that may indicate the brand? There is an SKU for it but I don't know if it is embedded in the material or not. Let me know if you want me to continue to verify this and I will get with them and then back to you or have them contact you. Thanks, Bob Sex-Trix

Be very cautious. I thought I was buying the original and got the new game. I complained to the vendor(PJ Books, I believe). Said they'd find me the original and send it. It was very used. More used than my game(I was buying it for a member of my family). What a mess

Best not to use a tamper as this espresso maker doesn't like the coffee too tightly packed -- it takes a long time for the coffee to get through. We just put the required amount in and level it off. Hope this helps.

You are better off to purchase the mini-tamper directly from Vitamix. The mini-tamper is designed to fit the 32 oz. container and the 48 oz. container as well. Although it's possible to use the tamper from the tall 64 oz. container, I don't advise it. The tall 64 oz. container's tamper has a "step" that, theoretically at least, is designed to prevent the tamper from reaching the blades of the shorter 32 oz. and 48 oz. containers. However, in practice, many tampers have met with disaster when vigorous tamping has resulted in the tamper being pushed beyond the safe point. I use the mini-tamper with my shorter containers and it works very well. It should also be noted that the tamper from the low profile 64 oz. container that comes with the Next Generation machines (the Pro 750, 300, and the 7500) cannot be used with this container.

It has been awhile but I believe it was sealed in some way...I can't remember the exact way so you could tell if someone used it or it was tampered with. Hpe this helps!

I am not selling this, I just purchased one from Amazon. There must be a mixup.

Espresso needs to be packed firmly in the portafilter basket and a tamper is great for this because it fits nicely inside the portafilter. When I got my espresso machine, I forgot to buy a tamper too and I was left trying to tamp the espresso puck with other objects, but a tamper does this much more evenly than trying to use a makeshift tamper. Tamping is one of the necessary steps to great espresso shots!

As I think back, mine was not in cellophane wrap. I trusted that amazon and their suppliers would do the right thing, knowing that the purchaser thinks the item is new and not refurbished. The honest and honorable card should be given first and foremost.

I just received my box and it has the code cut out as well as the UPC. I am sending it back . I have ordered this before and it had the code intact, these must be fakes.

I ordered mine from Amazon, and mine seemed like it was completely sealed, but I'm missing the Secret Service code. My barcode/UPC is still there, and the cellophane looked okay, but no secret service code. I'm wondering if I should return it. I'm not particularly worried about the code, but I do want an authentic product.

Order the mini-tamper from Vitamix.com. Amazon does not sell the mini-tamper. I have noticed that some people recommend using the longer tamper that comes with the tall 64 oz. container, because that particular tamper has a step that in theory will prevent it from reaching the blades in the shorter 32 oz. container. Unfortunately, there have been too many instances of that tamper being pushed vigorously enough to cause it to go past the step and hit the blades of the 32 oz. container, which destroys the end of the tamper. It's not worth the risk... just get the correct tamper for the job, the mini-tamper.
