After lurking around for a few weeks I wasn't sure I bought into all the hype on here and DT.com about these "small-time" vendors, but I have to say I am a convert now. After finding the exact diamond we wanted to purchase my boyfriend and I decided to purchase from diamond.com over dirtcheap, abazias or whiteflash. All four had the same diamond, but I think I fell into that trap of flashy advertising.
To make a long story short, diamond.com has changed the price twice since the 26th. So I called because I had printed up the specs and price a few days ago (Price went from 3400 to 3690!) and the guy on the phone was nice at first, but after I spent an hour scanning the stupid things so he could see the original price and so it was readable he does not even respond to my emails or questions. And no one answered his extension even though he was supposed to be there until 10pm EST. No more diamond.com for me thank you very much, I am going to take Mara's advice and find a place that treats me like a human being!
So, long story short, you guys are a great resource and I am glad to have found you. Now would someone recommend which of the three other sites I listed I should use. And where should I go about looking for a setting?
One other thing, I am from Maryland so if we ordered from Dirt Cheap could we have it shipped to family in New Jersey to avoid sales tax or will it be based on where the bank account we are using is located?
Thanks in advance for you help!
