I actually had to make eye contact and greet the associate myself since he was so interested in this womans couch. Upon stating that I was here to turn in my slip and redeem my tablet he asked for the slip, took one look at it and requested the total for redeeming. Because this unprofessional associate failed to do his job and ask me for proper identification to verify i am in fact the slip holder, literally any person could have taken that slip if it was misplaced and redeemed my tablet for themselves. I will never shop here again and i hope you get sued for having irresponsible employees.

I really wasn't looking forward to the task. At first, I took some collections of medallions my mother had collected over decades. I was given a direct, informative description of every item. It was delivered in a polite, but concise manner, pleasingly direct. They told me what it was worth and what they would pay. I accepted their offer, which I thought was very fair. I was impressed. Over the next 4 months, I took more and more items to them.... more, jewelry, silver dollars, etc. In the end, I think we did somewhere around $10k worth of business together. I was very impressed, pleased with them. Quality organization!.

Was looking for a replacement for the diamond in my wife's wedding ring that was lost several years…read moreago. After looking at a couple of the chain stores in the mall, I wanted to check with Borthwick's, mainly because I live in Ferndale, they are local, and I have heard good things. The chain stores tried to upsell me, and would have had to order the stone, and send the ring out for setting. The salesperson at Borthwick's was very friendly and helpful, and showed me a couple options that were in stock in the store in the price range I was looking for. She said it would take up to a week for the fitting, and would be done in house. I left to think about it for a little while, then came back and was able to negotiate the price down a little more on the diamond I wanted. I made the deal, put down half the cost for deposit, and was told it could take up to a week if any changes needed to be made in the setting. Three hours later I got a call and they said it was already done and I could pick it up when I was ready! I went back, picked it up along with an appraisal. The ring looks like new. They advised that we bring it back every six months or so for cleaning and inspection at no charge. I gave the ring with the new diamond to my wife on out 30th anniversary. She was very pleased at the selection I made on the stone, so I'm happy. :)
