WatchRepair.net Jeff Herman, Owner False Price Advertising, Ceasing Operation Notice With Charges On My Credit Card Without Service Promised Boca Raton, Internet
On January 24, 2012, I contacted WatchRepair.net through their website about get my Panerai serviced. My decision to contact them was due to the great reviews this company have received through their website and the $499 complete overhaul pricing. Jeff Herman called me couple days later telling me that complete overhaul is now $699 and told me I needed few other things after he inspected my watch. At the end pricing came out to be $899. He offered to give me $50 discount and I decided to go forward with it.
Jeff told me that it would take about 4 -6 weeks before I would get my watch back and he needed to charge my credit card for service he was providing me before hand instead of after the work was done. I guess that should of been a first alarm that should of gone off in my head. He had my watch already and he could of held that as a hostage. Yesterday my finance tells me that I have a package from Fedex and to my suprise it was my watch being returned from WatchRepair.net. Before reading the attached letter, I opened the package and there is my watch in the original condition that I sent without any work being done. I will attach the letter I received for everyone's view.
At this time, I am out $849 + $19.95 shipping charge and dealing with my credit card company to get my money back. DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY!!!!
