I would give them ZERO stars if possible!
First off, thank you for taking the time to read my issues/complaints that I have about the Kay Jewelers in Salem, NH at Rockingham Mall. My fiance and I purchased my ring last october during an event hosted by a jeweler in which most of the rings were heavily discounted. On this day we also purchased insurance for my ring, which I was told that covered any damage to my ring and diamonds as long as I brought it in every 6 months for a check. In late March I brought my ring into Kay jewelers in Salem, NH with damage. I told the store manager , Jess that an unfortunate event happened with my ring and she orginally quoted me $4,500 worth of damage, because she didnt realize I had insurance on the ring and diamonds. She then told me my ring was COMPLETELY COVERED by the insurance. She told me I would have my ring back within one to two months and that she would call me when my ring was ready and that I did not have to do a thing. Two months go by and I did not hear anything so I decided to give her a call. She then tells me that my ring has been there for two to three weeks and was not fixed because the company decided it was not covered by my policy. Instead she told me it was $4,500 to be fixed. I then proceeded to demand to speak to the store manager in which she responded she was. How as a store manager do you not know what is and is not covered? I then called Kay Jewelers complaint department where the woman who answered wanted nothing to do with the conversation and advised me to call the store manager, in which my response was that I already spoke to her. This woman called the store and told me that Jess was working on a plan and sent out my ring to another jeweler to get appraised. I kept repeating that they should be covering my ring and fixing it at no charge because that is what I was told by the store manager. The woman on the phone said that Jess was going to do just that. My wedding is July 15th, this was at the end of may. So I wait for the phone call and Jess tells me that the Jeweler will fix it for $2,100 and that it will take a month to a month and a half. I called corporate again and proceeded to argue with them but it went no where. I asked to speak with a supervisor and was told none were available for an hour and they would have someone contact me. NOTHING. I called at least ten times. No returned call, just people telling me over and over to contact the store manager. Due to the timing of my wedding right around the corner I told Jess to have it fixed. I went in and signed the paper work. Finally I get a call that my ring is ready, go to pick it up and the Jess ordered it in the wrong size, imagine two weeks before my wedding AND MY RING DOES NOT FIT ON MY FINGER. They asked me if I could squeeze it on and deal with it until after the wedding. At this point I left the store fuming. My fiance convicened me to come back in the store and hear them out. They decided to tell me that the Jeweler I bought my ring from would be there on 7/6/2017, ONE WEEK TILL MY WEDDING. I gave them permission to have my ring sized. Jess gave me her word that she would have him fix it at 9am when he walked in. Today, 7/6/17 I received a phone call from kay jewelers and missed the call but I just figured that my ring was ready so I proceeded to go pick it up. I was wrong, dear old Jess was calling me to tell me the jeweler discovered MICRO-CHIP IN MY CENTER DIAMOND. So My ring was looked at and appraised for damage by three different jewelers and none of them saw this? I told her your company did this. Someone had to of chipped it along the way, there is no way it could've been looked at by that many people and no one noticed. She told me she had to tell me before it was sized and i can call cooperate and ask about what my insurance covers. She, Jess, Told me my center diamond wouldn't be covered for damage under my insurance. After my ring was sized I proceeded to pick it up. I went to pay for it, The $2,100 that Kay jewelers insists the insurance won't cover and asked to split it on two Kay Jewelers credit cards, My personal one and my joint one with my Fiance, Jess told me I couldn't split the cost on two cards. In which I responded yes you can, she then went and asked another team member and they said of course you can. She splits it and told me that I will receive an email confirming I have my ring back. How is this woman a manager? When she missed calling me and had my ring sitting there for weeks, fine I will get over it, but to tell me my ring was completely covered by my insurance I purchased through the company and then no honor that, are you kidding? Then for her to order my ring in the wrong size, and the Jewelers to "over look" a chip in my diamond, thats just the cherry on the cake. I will never buy another item from Kay Jewelers, I will never recommend the company and I will never be able to love my ring the way I did. read more
