I got my ring this past Valentine''s weekend & I don''t think I''ve stopped smiling since then !!! here''s why I think they''re the best ( and we did go through almost of the vendors listed on pricescope while we did our research to buy my engament ring):
1- Pricing: James Allen approximately offers an additonal 200 discount of their already reasonably priced loose diamonds if you click on their link through Pricescope! frankly, I don''t know where they make their money from this transaction if their pricing is competitive as it is to start with!!! this, in additon to free shipping ( I live in Canada), GIA certificate, their own appraisal ( worth another $70) & for those who pay by wire, there''s even more savings!!!!
2- The Pictures: They post the diamond pictures as is & they''re likeyl to be the only vendor who does this kind of thing! no embellishment, no enhancement or anything of the sort! they get the diamond in their store, they do their own inspection & they tell you excatly what they see!
3- Customer service: I think I fairly drove them up the wall askign about ASET, GIA certificates, a gemonlogist detailed assessment & comparisons between all the diamonds that I was curious about. I learned these things from Pricescope
! & All of my requests were met on a timely manner, whereas other vendors never bothered to honour most of these requests! I even changed my mind about buying a certain diamond 2 months back & they still provided me with the BEST customer service as soona as I got in touch with them again! they were patient, indulging and quite proffesional. they made me feel comfortable. There was no pressure!
4- Their honesty: they have quite the integrity, honesty & reliability to advise you not to buy something that''s more expensive if it''s not a good choice or wouldn''t meet your satisfaction! which is smart really, since they do offer timely refunds but of course no one wants to go through this whether be it a vendor or a buyer!
5- they didn''t dismiss or try to sway me from getting what I really wanted, a pear-shaped diamond, which is what I''ve always been looking for & could a bit of a challenge to find a decent one! they just helped me make a better choice, a GORGEOUS one actually! I paid US $ 3450 for an E coloured diamond, VS1 clarity, with VG polish & symmetry. The appraisal that I''ve got for the diamond was US$ 4800!!! much better than what I''ve paid!!!!
They have class, customer service, integerity & I love them for makign this a painless dream come true for me!
I will post a decent pciture of my ring very soon in the gallery. If you have any questions just respond to this post & I will be happy to tell you about my online experience! Thank you James Allen for the most beautiful ring I will ever have!
p.s. James (Jim) Allen will personlly answer some of the meails that come in & persoannly advise on the purchase! try Tammy Steed or Josh Cale for an amazing customer service. You also have to be realistic about your requests i.e. don''t request the ASET, Pictures, GIA certificates of 20 diamonds at a time! try to break it up so you won''t get confused & they can accomodate in a timely manner!
Best of luck everyone!
