If I had any say in it, I would have preferred my husband to buy my engagement ring from Kesslers due to their built in warranty policy alone. However, our engagement was a surprise and my husband lived out of state at the time, so he bought my... engagement ring from a jeweler more closer to his home. When it came time to buy our wedding bands, we went to Kesslers and they were able to match up my engagement ring to its proper wedding band, even though it wasn’t one they physically had in store. The woman measured my engagement ring herself, we told her he bought a size 8 but we had it re-sizes to a 7, and that is what she measured as well. Then I got my engagement band and it was beautiful. Fine. I pick up my wedding band a few weeks later when it comes in and when I first walked in, straight from the gym, not one single employee helped me. They just stared at me. I legit stood at the counter and was stared at. One worker even had the nerve to push me off to the side so she could take a payment from a different customer (they had 2 other registers that I wasn’t by). So, angry at such unprofessional treatment, I walked out. I had too much to do to deal with that bs. I ended up coming back a few hours later and was helped right away.
The woman we bought the wedding band from tells us to come back to have my engagement ring and wedding band soddered 2 weeks before the wedding. So, just over two weeks before my wedding, I go on in and tell them what I want. Some woman just grabs my rings and measures them and is telling me that my engagement ring is measuring as a 7 and my wedding band as an 8...? YOUR STORE SPECIFICALLY SOLD ME A SIZE 7 WEDDING BAND. I had the original receipt in. My. Hand! Then they wouldn’t shut up about how if they had to resize anything they would have to charge me because my husband didn’t buy my engagement ring there, and would not stop giving me grief for not buying it there. Like ma’am. Just stop. I didn’t buy the damn thing. And with the way she was acting, I’m kind of glad we didn’t buy it there. I proceeded to tell the second woman I worked with that I don’t want the engagement band touched at all. She kept telling me they’d need to re-size it and I denied this. I thought my ring fit great, and even if it lost some space due to the soddering, that it would still fit. If she needed to touch a band, she could touch the wedding band. She said they would call me by the following Monday to confirm any charges.
Well come beginning of wedding week, a week after they said they’d call by, we still hadn’t heard anything. My husband called and they said they tried reaching us, but we’re clearly calling the wrong number (a number which I confirmed with the second women before I left). We set it up to pick up my rings that Friday, and FINALLY caught a break because that went swimmingly. Whoever did the soddering did a great job as the ring s look beautiful. They said they didn’t need to touch the bands at all, and whoever told us they were different sizes was wrong.
So while their “free” warranty program might be a selling point, their customer service skills are trash. They need to be more welcoming of ALL customers.
