点评:My experience was somewhere between poor and average.
We had a great experience in the store at The Gold Mine. The staff was kind and a pleasure to work with—Sonya in particular was very sweet. She and Shawn helped me choose a ring and emphasized that I was getting 70–80% off retail, which sounded like an amazing deal.
I’m still happy with the ring itself. However, my experience after the purchase was disappointing.
I paid $1,995 for a tanzanite and diamond ring. When the appraisal arrived a week later, the value was listed as $2,995. That’s roughly a 33% difference, not the 70–80% discount that was presented. That discrepancy was frustrating and confusing.
I reached out to the store multiple times via email to ask for clarification, but did not receive a response. After following up several times, I finally called. I was told again that the “70–80% off” includes things like duty, taxes, and retail markup. There is no way a ring with a $2,995 appraisal value would be priced at $7,000+. I was told someone would look into it, but I never heard back.
In-store, the service was excellent. Post-sale, communication and follow-up were lacking.
Bottom line: Enjoy the experience, but be cautious with how “discounts” are presented. You may get a fair price—but not necessarily the extraordinary deal that’s implied.
翻译:我的购物体验介于差和一般之间。
我们在金矿珠宝店的购物体验很棒。店员们都很友善,合作起来非常愉快——尤其是索尼娅,她非常热情。她和肖恩帮我挑选了一枚戒指,并强调我可以享受零售价70%-80%的折扣,这听起来非常划算。
我对戒指本身还是很满意的。然而,购买后的经历却令人失望。
我花了1995美元买了一枚坦桑石和钻石戒指。一周后收到的鉴定报告显示,戒指的价值是2995美元。这大约有33%的差价,而不是之前宣传的70%-80%的折扣。这种差异令人沮丧和困惑。
我多次通过电子邮件联系珠宝店询问详情,但都没有收到回复。在多次催促后,我最终打电话过去询问。我再次被告知,“70-80%的折扣”包含了关税、税款和零售商加价等费用。一枚估价为2995美元的戒指,价格不可能超过7000美元。他们说会有人调查此事,但之后就杳无音信了。
店内服务非常出色。但售后沟通和跟进却很欠缺。
总而言之:购物体验愉快,但要谨慎对待“折扣”的宣传方式。你或许能拿到一个合理的价格,但未必能得到宣传中暗示的那种超值优惠。
