1 /5 Alpna Patel: Update: Store Manager, Abraham, called me directly before 12:30pm the very next day to offer his sincerest apologies. He went above and beyond to accept the fault was theirs and that the matter has been addressed.
I hope the customer service standard improve and others do not have to go through what my family and I did.
Thank you Abraham and Mary for your help!
***BUYER CHECK YOUR RECEIPT!***
I’m surprised to read such glowing reviews for a cold hearted con artist, Shamsha.
My husband and I came here looking for jewelry for our baby (also with us). They didn’t have anything suitable for a baby. We inquired about adult jewelry, but it wasn’t going to work. Shamsha was the only sales associate and no other customers were in the store. I decided to purchase a jewelry for myself. We asked twice about the current upto 40% off promotion, and Shamsha refused to give us a direct answer and instead started talking about the perks of the warranty.
Judging by the total, there was no promotion to our purchase, even though it was advertised as everything in the store. My baby was starting to fuss at this point, so we grabbed the receipt and we left.
As I looked down, I saw Shamsha had charged me for a warranty, without ever telling me there is a charge, or what the cost of it is. So I asked for a refund on the warranty, and I’ll keep the jewelry.
Now, Shamsha was clearly not happy and decided the whole transaction had to be refunded. I asked to purchase the same piece and she said no-it was a returned item now. I looked her dead in the eye and calmly explained, I wish to purchase the jewelry, without the warranty, and as it was still sitting next to her hand, couldn’t fathom why I couldn’t do this. Shamsha said I have to come back tomorrow. When I refused to drive back from my city, she proceeded to point out their other locations.
The jewelry was right in front of her!! My child was beginning to get upset. I explained once more: she charged me a warranty fee without telling me there will be a charge and she cannot do this. She explained she will get a manager involved.
Manager Mary fixed the issue in less than 5 seconds. Shamsha wasted 20 mins of our time for no reason.
Even as I was walking out of the store, Shamsha made excuses for the 5th time that the price is assumed on the warranty, claiming no fault. She also literally yelled we aren’t under warranty as we’re stepping into the mall. Pure disgrace.
Well done Mary for going above and beyond, given the situation.
Turns out the jewelry was on sale, so with the warranty it was almost like paying full price-Shamsha thought she could get her commission off me! So deceitful.
Shamsha, I too was in sales, and it’s clear, my dear: you’ve been in the industry far too long so your blood now runs cold on commission only.
I don’t think I’ll step foot in a Kay ever again. What a great first and last impression of your Jewelry store and Customer Service.
