I know of others who have purchased from them before. I don’t recall any issues with this company. I personally love this one and have had my eye on it for some time but got a less expensive one that I love as well. I think that the shipping was what turned me off with JK even though their prices on items are reasonable but I love this one:

Well, if you are ever in the Los Angeles area, I could turn you on to two places that have good Yixing/Gaiwan gear…

1) Wing Hop Fung (in Chinatown)
2) Don’t know the name offhand (antique store in South Pasadena)
