• If the Blender goblet leaks what should I do?

  This depends on whether the blender is leaking from the top or the bottom of the goblet. If it is leaking from the bottom then make sure that the base is screwed on tightly, also make sure that the seal isn’t missing or damaged, if it is damaged you will have to order a replacement.
