For my one year anniversary, I am upgrading my solitaire engagement ring to a custom made cushion-shaped halo setting. I chose the same company that I got my engagement ring and wedding ring to create my custom creation. It is now two weeks into being without my engagement ring, along with the fact that creating a custom ring over emails and phone calls, is making me one nervous customer.
Keeping that in mind, there are certain things that have irked me a bit:
1. I was told that my CADS would arrive on a specific date. Because I''ve been emailing and calling my contact at the company so many times, I thought I''ll give him a break by not bombarding him with emails and assumed that the CADS would arrive on time. Minutes before closing, still without any CADs, I called the company and they apologized, the CADS would not be ready until the following Monday due to a delay. I was a bit annoyed that I had to call the very last minute to ask where my CADs were, and they didn''t notify me instead. I was told that I would receive an update Monday morning to make sure that my CADs would be ready that day. Again, I called at 3pm on Monday because I didn''t receive an update that morning, but I DID finally end up receiving my CADs towards late afternoon.
2. I emailed the CAD designer yesterday evening my issues, most importantly, the profile looks NOTHING like the inspiration picture I sent. About an hour ago, they replied back saying they would like to set up a meeting with me to discuss the issues at 10 am tomorrow and for me to reply back immediately so they can send me an interview confirmation. Within 5 minutes, I sent a reply back saying that I will most likely not be available since I''ll be at work, and if I can hop on the phone with them either today or sometime different tomorrow. An hour has passed and I know they''re closed now...but no reply.
Maybe it''s because I work in a customer service position but I''m very prompt on all my communication and I guess i expected the same.
Am I being too picky? I''ve resorted to staring at everyone else''s rings to help the days go by in the meanwhile
