American Swiss Ring

I'm disappointed with the service rendered at American Swiss Cosmopolitan Mall Zambia. The sales lady refused to cancel my layby of a 9 Ct Wg Triple Cushion ring and that I must wait for the expiry for her to cancel, of which again she can't refund anything above K5,000 stating that it's South Africa that has to give me my money and it takes two weeks.

How inconveniencing is that, like really I have to wait for South Africa to get my money back as if I made payment in South Africa.

I'd appreciate that my money is refunded as as possible.

Claimed loss: 1 month

Desired outcome: I would like am apology for delaying me, layby cancelled and my money refunded.

I had a ring on layby at Cosmopolitan Mall in Lusaka, Zambia and when i wanted to cancel the layby, the sales lady told me i cant cancel, that i have to wait for it to expire. A month later i went back insisting that my layby be cancelled and unfortunately i was told that they cant refund me unless South Africa. So after wasting my time, how possible is that that i have to wait for south Africa to get my money back when i made payment in Zambia?

American Swiss Scratches on a ring

I bought a ring on 20 January 2024 at N1 City Branch. The ring was too small and I was advised by the sales assistant that I can take it to the store nearest to me for resizing. I took the ring to Canal Walk store on the same day, in less than an hour and when I got there the sales assistant noticed that the ring has a scratch on and advised that we return the ring to the store as they were not supposed to sell a ring in that condition. I tried to contact the store but there was no answer and it was already to late for me to drive back as it was close to 6o clock. I am very disappointed with he service received and the ring should have been inspected before sold to me. I would therefore like to return the ring.

Regards

Mr C Andrews

Desired outcome: Return

American Swiss Mens ring

I wanted to make an exchange regarding a mens ring that I baught for Christmas. It was to small and I just wanted a bigger size. Miss Simpiwe at High field mall were very unhelpful. She briefly said that they do not have this ring in stock, and had no cash so no refund can be given. After I ask what can we do regarding this problem, she told me to order online and come back then they will give me a refund. It is very unprofessional to not have cash in a store! My online option were to spend double te money or solve te problem my self. Very disappointed!

Desired outcome: Refund

American Swiss Engagement ring broken ref: re010067002388

Hi I want to complain about the service I am receiving from American Swiss, with regards to an engagement I purchased from the Eastgate branch Johannesburg on 29 June 2023.

The ring broke on the side, it looks like a stress fracture, nothing to do with any wear and tear. I took it in on Sunday 03 December 2023. Then I get a phone call saying I have to pay an amount of +/- R1200. I said I will not pay for a repair on something that broke due to bad resizing or manufacturing. And there should a warranty on the ring.

Please can I have the ring back in good order or can you please refund me the total amount I have paid for the ring and the resizing costs.

I am not happy about this service you’re offering 😡😡😡. I need this resolved immediately.

Desired outcome: I need a replacement I bought that watch cash and not on credit and I want an apology for this treatment it’s unfair and I’m unsatisfied.

American Swiss Customer service

I would like to complain about a sales lady in Mall of Africa American swiss her name is Tebogo. I had a problem with my ring which I recently bought and it started discourloring so I took it back which the lady in question said the are going to do a quality check And if I'm not happy still we will look into an exchange.

Today I went to fetch my ring but when I asked about exchanging the story had changed. Tebogo was rude didn't want to listen to what I wanted to ask or say. I must say I understood why she refused to exchange but I didn't get the reassurance that my ring will be okay for a long time. However I must say as a customer I'm not happy with the way Teboho spoke to me because we ended up shouting right inside the store.

American Swiss American swiss reps are useless and they have no knowledge of jewelry

I bought a ring at American Swiss Kolonnade on Thursday the 27th of October, size M. The ring was too big so I took it to be resized on Monday the 30th of October. I had my original enagement ring on, so I gave it to her as a reference to the size, which is K and a half. She then decided to measure my finger, but they only had a K, not in between sizes, and K was so small, it didn't even get to the middle of my finger, so instead of checking everything nicely, She wrote down K and a half and had it resized. Today, I went to pick up my ring and it is too small. I showed the lady that helped me - Charmone - that the ring is too small, and explained how the previous girl measured and that she then just assumed that the 2 rings are the same, she then proceeded to try and blame me for the sizing mistake, due to having them measure my original engagement ring, because THEY didn't have the right tools to measure my size. I then told her that this is unacceptable, I don't work with jewelery, I don't know the correct processes of measurement and as the proffessionals, it is their job to ensure that everything is done correctly and take into account everything that could possibly have an impact on the resizing and to not just assume because they are too lazy to do it the right way. She then asked me "Aren't your hands just swollen?", to which I responded "No" and showed her how my original enagement ring comfortably comes off and comfortably gets put on without stopping my blood from freaking flowing! She then proceeded to say that the sizes may differ because the new band is a bit thicker than the other. SO WHY DIDN"T THEY THEN TAKE THIS INTO ACCOUNT WHEN THEY MEASURED IT? HOW MUST I KNOW THESE THINGS? She then just continued to say, with attitude"I wasn't there, so I don't know how or if it was measured incorrectly", I told her that I am very upset with the client services because it is not my fault that they didn't do their job right, it is not my job to ensure that it is done correctly because I have no knowledge whatsoever of the topic. She then told me if I want it resized again, I must pay R350 AGAIN. Why must I pay if your reps can't do their jobs correctly? The previous lady should've measured everything correctly before assuming that they would be exactly the same, especially if it is now mentioned that the band thickness differ! My first and very last time dealing with American Swiss, you're staff is absolutely useless in client services, and they have no knowledge of how to work with jewelery. DO BETTER! The right thing to do is to say"Sorry Ma'am, let me re-measure it so we can get the right size and get this sorted for you - free of charge, considering you already paid R350 and the resizing is wrong". Can't believe that we live in a country where it is okay to treat clients like this, customers are the reason why you are able to keep your doors open.

American Swiss Unauthorised charge

On Saturday, 14 October 2023, I went to collect two rings at American Swiss Otjiwarongo.

When I got there I was told that the ring I wanted a quote on has already been fixed and that the workshop made the decision for me. The second ring I asked to be send with was not even send and still at the store.

As well my name and surname in the system was wrong and while I told the employees that they blatantly ignored me or just shrugged while not believing me, which meant I had to show all my identification documents on me.

I told them I refuse to pay for something I did not ask for.

Desired outcome: I would like to have my second ring send to be fixed and then not have to pay for either, since at first they disregarded what I wanted and have my information deleted from the data basis
