Complaint Review: ItsHot - New York New York

As promised, I wanted to follow up on the final resolution of this issue.   The ring was sent back to the company and I just got it back.  IT WAS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT the second time around!!!  I am disappointed that we had to have a second time around and that it took some time to get a response but once I did,  the staff I worked with went out of their way to correct the issue AND to expedite repair and shipping and I could not ask for more!!!   I actually did not expect to receive it back when I originally wanted it given the circumstances so I was surprised when I got it on the day I needed it, especially since I knew they were still working on it the afternoon before.    I know this was not without a GREAT deal of effort on their end so I want to acknowledge that!!!  
 
Final note: Mistakes do happen, we are all human and not infallible, I think we all understand that.    When they do, I hope that first, learning is gleaned from it and measures are put into place to prevent future issues and secondly, the issue is corrected.   

Although I cant confirm with 100% certainty they will use this as a learning experience, I feel strongly that they will.  I can confirm with 100% certainty that they resolved the issue and went out of their way to make sure they were able to get the issue corrected and get the ring to me on time.   The craftsmanship is TOP NOTCH and the ring is ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!!!   
Although my experience with this company may not have been perfect out of the gate,  I feel it important to note I was satisfied with resolution and I would definitely consider doing business with them again. 

First- I would like to acknowledge that the sales team did finally contact me and it seems they are attempting to resolve the issue.  I have sent the item back - they have paid for shipping and said they would take care of getting the correct diamonds set and the engraving along with apologizing for the error.  This has been a huge inconvenience and a major snag in getting it by the date I needed but I truly appreciate their willingness to correct the problem.  

In response to customer support, I had contacted the sales team that I had been working with via email multiple times prior to attempting to contact anyone else.   They were who I worked with to purchase the ring and each of those correspondences had the entire chain of communication about the order including the specifications and my disappointment and concerns about the purchase.   In the last email I sent I asked them to please respond within 1 day or I would escalate the issue.  After about two days I filed this report.

In addition, I also logged onto the 24/7 live chat but no one answered the chat line and I was transferred over to leave a message which I was not expecting.   At this point I did leave a brief message and you were correct that I did not leave the order number or contact information in this message because I connected hoping to chat with someone live.   After sending the previous emails I did not see the necessity of leaving another.

I fully understand these errors are human mistakes which was one of my pressing questions in the emails that I sent.  I wanted to understand how when you order a custom piece (it is all about details- that is why you order custom jewelry) that it can leave the store without verification that it is close to being correct- especially when  critical attributes like the stones  are incorrect.   
As far as the cost of the stone- I did not infer the stones were changed to cut cost.  I was simply stating I did not get what I paid for which should have been princess stones.  It was your sales staff that told me the price of princess stones went up which resulted in an increased final quote.  I dont know how princess prices compare to round prices because I was not interested in round stones so I never inquired.

Again, I would like to acknowledge the sales staff did eventually respond.  I wish that it could have been timelier prior to me feeling that filing this report was necessary, but that simply was not the case.   They do seem to be resolving the issue. I have confidence that they will make it right and if they do I would possibly consider doing business with them again in the future.  Although their immediate response was not timely, they do seem to have an effective escalation process for issue resolution which I find to be positive.  

 I also want to acknowledge once again the original rendering of the ring, although incorrect was gorgeous and very nicely done.  The craftsmanship was top quality; my only concerns were with the details not completed to my specifications and the lack of response when I initially contacted them regarding the error.

When I get the ring back I will post a follow up to the final resolution- I have confidence it will end on a positive note .

First of all sorry if in the custom order there was anything thats done not per specifications. You did not leave your order number nor contact information so we are not able to follow up directly.

If you requested princess cut diamonds but round diamonds were set in the ring it was a human mistake, it was not done on purpose to cut the costs (round and princess cut diamonds cost about the same and in the current market round diamonds are actually more popular so they cost a bit more).
