This review is complicated because it's more of a corporate review.
I purchased my rings and my husband ring here at this specific store. Our lady was brand new and showed us all of the options for my wedding band. I couldn't decide on anything because it was all so expensive and wasn't great looking. Then after an hour, another lady came over and asked our worker "did you show them any of the rings on sale in the drawers?". REALLY felt like she was hiding that from us. How could that just slip your mind? So I found a beautiful ring on sale that went perfectly with my engagement ring.
A couple months later we start receiving our paper bills. No big deal. I go to make an account online and I can't, my husband can, but I can't for my payments. Of course I waited to the last day to try, so when I realized I couldn't pay online I tried to call, the toll payment option was closed. Then I had a late fee. I called the next morning to pay and it turns out I can't make an account because the lady who sold us the rings entered the wrong social security number of mine, which has been an annoying inconvenience. I can't fix it over the phone, so I have to find time to go in someday, which doesn't work nicely with my chaotic schedule.
None of that is the bad stuff. This is where I REALLY have the problem, and it's with CORPORATE, not the Kay store I purchased from.
Besides the first month when I paid late, I have paid my bills on time every month. Even doubled some of my payments. Big mistake. Doubling your payments means you don't have to pay the next month (that's what he told me on the phone). So when I got a phone call 6 weeks later saying I'm in debt collections for not paying one of my bills that I paid ahead of time- I was kinda pissed. I was being smart and now it's ruining my credit. So I called and they said I was right. The past 3 months I have been receiving letters in the mail saying I owe late fees and need to pay my bill for the month prior. Why do I need to do that if I've been paying? Every month I get a letter saying my ($65) bill is now $130 and I need to take action right now. When I go online, it says the same thing. So I called and talked to someone about it and he said I did not have ANY fees or bills to pay. SO WHY AM I GETTING THESE LETTERS AND CHARGES ON MY ACCOUNT? I honest to god think they are doing this to squeeze money out of me. They are being sketchy. I have paid every single one of my bills, but it doesn't matter. I'm being sent to collections, receiving multiple calls a day from collectors, getting mail fees constantly- and for what? I'm so sick of it. I received another fee today saying I owe $130 for my September bill, which I paid on time last month. So! You guys will be getting a nice phone call from me tomorrow because I'm fucking sick of this. DO NOT BUY FROM ANY KAY JEWELERS. Big mistake. read more
