      I purchased an engagement ring on December 18, 2020 and am not able to locate the receipt or extended warranty information. When I went back to the same location (Mic Mac Mall, Dartmouth) to purchase a wedding band, they were unable to confirm my purchase history. They could not find record of this purchase under my information or my husband's and explained it could have been entered incorrectly by the sales rep. I contacted customer service via email to seek support in finding this information on August 9, 2020; I received a response on August 13th stating "our team will look into this and get back to you. This can take 24-48 hours. We will let you know the results as soon as possible."; I did not receive a response. I followed up via email on August 24th and did not receive a response; I followed up again on August 29th via email and did not receive a response. I contacted client service again today, September 4th via phone and left a voicemail with my information.

      Please be advised that Charm's Store Manager in Mic Mac Mall attempted to contact ***** *************** on August 30th and was unable to leave a voice message on the cell number provided.

      ********* *****, Charm Diamond Centres Regional Manager, will reach out to the customer today and report back on her conversation.

      Regards,

      ***

      Please accept my apologies.  I had drafted a response following my earlier (Sept 12th) response, however, in the midst of a company-wide ****** Mail to ********* ******* migration, it was lost.

      The issue has been resolved to the customer's satisfaction.  ******* paperwork was found from her original purchase several years ago, however, the name was inadvertently entered incorrectly into the system. Charm's Mic Mac Mall store Manager called the customer and spoke with her husband several times - finally connecting with *****. Paperwork at the time of original purchase showed that an extended service plan was not purchased. She had ordered a matching wedding band to go with her ring and had purchased the ESP on that ring. When the new band arrived, they were able to purchase an ESP for the original ring purchase. ***** was very pleased that her set is now under warranty and has an original receipt for her records. She understood about the mix up and said she was very happy with the resolution.

      I trust this can put the complaint to rest.

      My boyfriend purchased this ring online on October 9 2023. He proposed to me on November 5 2023. The ring did not fit as it was too small so I could not wear it. I took it to Charm in Bridgewater NS to have it resized on November 6 2023. I was given a 3 week wait time and I went to the store to pick up the ring 3.5 weeks later on November 30 and paid $35 for the resizing. I did not even have the ring for 24 hours, and after only 3 hours of wear I noticed that one of the diamonds had fallen out. I called them that evening and was told to bring it in, which I live 30 minutes away and had just drove in the previous evening so I could not come in until Sunday December 3. Upon bringing in the ring on Sunday December 3, I received very poor customer service. I did not receive any apology or acknowledgement of what had happened or why it could have happened. I was given another 3 week wait estimate even after asking it to be rushed as this should not have happened. I asked about the diamond and mourning guarantee as advertised on your website and was told that I won’t have to pay to send the ring off but I will to be able to pick it up. I said I could wait until after the Christmas season to have it repaired although still was not satisfied with the customer service or the quality of the ring as this should not have happened. I also requested to speak to someone higher up and I left my name and number and have not heard from anyone.

      My father purchased a gold necklace with a pendant on it for me during christmas time. Beautiful 18 inch necklace that sat perfectly around my neck. Fast forward to April and my necklace snapped without me noticing and a friend of mine found it on the floor a few days after it had happened. Brought it in to get fixed. I guess my naïve self thought the chain I brought in would be the one I received back. No i got a chain back about 4 inches longer that clearly was not the one I had brought in to be fixed. The sales lady was very rude and condescending when I tried to explain i must’ve received the wrong chain back. She kept trying to tell me it must have been my fault for sleeping with the chain on. Mind you i hadn’t even worn the chain since receiving it back because it was too long. Her logic made no sense to me and still doesn’t. Finally she believes me and just gives me a new chain. Same length as the original. Now…. This new one has stretched over the coarse of having it back for the past couple weeks. My issue is if they had just fixed the original chain i brought to be repaired, I wouldn’t have this issue with a stretched chain. Now im the one dealing with a necklace i dont like due to your companies mistakes!!! I would like a full refund on the necklace as it isn’t even what i originally purchased anymore. The necklace my father bought me in December, i had for over 3 months, i never had any issue with any kind of stretching. Now i have this replacement chain for not even a month and it has stretched almost 4 inches. It’s ridiculous and you should have a better explanation for this kind of inconvenience. Expensive jewelry should stay as it looks when originally bought. And your employees shouldn’t gas light people into admitting things they haven’t even done. Your store in st Catherines Pen Centre have some of the worst most incompetent staff I’ve ever had to deal with.

      I recently bought a watch from your west edmonton **** store. I purchased the watch on November 5 2022 at 7:23pm . I thought I was buying a ******* watch. When I returned to my hometown and showed my co-workers my watch they pointed out that it was a fake. I reviewed the serial numbers on the back of the watch to citizens service and no results showed up. The online ad for the watch I bought doesn't match the actual watch on citizens website when you search the name. The name on receipt doesn't match anything as well. I paid $288.75 Canadian for this watch. This stor committed fraud by selling a fake ******* watch. The sales lady ****** even packaged the watch in a ******* box with ******* flyers but with no warranty paperwork. I want a full refund for this watch. I haven't had a call back or been able to get in touch with anyone at ***** diamond's.
