Twice I've taken a clearly marked item through the register and they've increased the price once I've stood in line and am ready to check out. Additionally, the items are always grossly overpriced so, even if they go half off, they're not worth the return trip.

Friendly, professional, honest and hardworking. Really appreciated the upfront work they did on researching item values and setting good prices. They also proved their marketing skills, as our sale had a long line outside on Day 1. Also appreciated how they continued to move items around and highlight different items to help merchandise them over the two day sale. Ultimately, our net proceeds were much higher than expected and we owe this to the team at Action Estate Sales PGH. Our family is very happy we chose them for this project. We highly recommend them.

They told me I'd have it back same day, next day at the latest. When I hadn't heard from them Wednesday, I called to make sure everything was okay and found out that they hadn't been able to get ahold of their appraiser since I dropped off my ring. I was disappointed that nobody told me and I had to call to find out. I followed up with them again today and they still hadn't been able to reach the appraiser. I opted to pick up my ring and disappointed in the lack of communication, sought out other options. I called South Hills Jewelers late this morning, Donna checked with Bob the owner and the gentleman who would be appraising it and told me if I brought the ring to them today, he'd have it back to me same day. I picked up my ring from the other store and brought it to them early afternoon. Just a few hours later I got a call that he was done with it and I could pick it up whenever. I arrived and the ring was cleaned and polished. The appraisal was complete. I was shown respect and empathy for the situation and the whole team went out of their way to get the appraisal done and the ring back on my finger. It wasn't their mistake to correct or even their dropped ball to pick up, yet they went out of their way for me. Bob and his team also offered lots of advice for the care of the ring and suggested an inspection schedule to keep it looking great for years to come!

The first time I went, I was looking for a watch to remember my father. Noel was so sweet and friendly to work with! I was liking 2 of the Cartier watches and I chose the Panthere to purchase that day. I went again for their official grand opening, to look for something for my milestone birthday coming up. I like to buy myself something special each year or a trip. I'd been looking all over NYC and online for some art deco pieces and found 2 beautiful Penny Preville pieces. I requested to work with Noel again because she is so friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. I initially was thinking I would get a bigger watch and once she showed me the art deco diamond Penny Preville pieces, I knew that's what I was going to buy! She has multiple pieces that you could make into a set or buy individually. I chose the larger ring and medium necklace from her 50th year of designing collection. I LOVE them! I really enjoyed both of my luxury shopping experiences at Orr's Jewelers in the Strip District. Thanks Noel for selecting pieces that you knew I would love! I highly recommend Orr's Jewelers and Noel Voorhees!

I visited Orr's Jewelry in the Strip District on July 29 to order a 5mm 18K yellow gold sculpted…read morecable ring by David Yurman for my October wedding. I'd been looking for awhile and really loved this ring. I was excited to see they had it on display for me to try on. The display model was a size 10 and fit too tight, so I asked if they could order a 10.5. The salesperson said yes, disappeared upstairs for a while, and came back confirming it would take about a week. While he was writing up the invoice, he dropped the display ring on the floor while bagging it, and as he picked it up he said, "don't worry, this isn't your ring" and promptly put the ring into a clear ziplock bag with some paperwork. I incorrectly assumed this was for verification purposes once my ring had been delivered. On August 3 I got a call that the ring was ready. I picked it up on August 6. The ring was handed to me in the same ziplock bag with the same paperwork from the ring he'd dropped on July 29. While I was there, another employee asked if this was a "repair," which struck me as an odd thing to ask about a brand new ring ordered directly from the manufacturer. There was also no certificate of authenticity included, even though my fiance's previous David Yurman purchases came with one. I didn't think much of it at the time, but looking back, both of those things should have been red flags. Once I got home and looked at the ring closely, I found nicks, dings, and a rough spot I could feel when I ran my finger across it. Not what you expect from something brand new. I called the store about 40 minutes after leaving. I was told this shouldn't happen on a ring that hadn't even been worn yet, and to bring it back in. I was assured I wouldn't be stuck with it. The next morning I went back, hoping this was some kind of mix-up and that maybe I'd been handed the wrong ring by mistake. The employee I spoke with inspected it under a loupe and offered to open a repair claim. Before agreeing to that, I brought up what I'd noticed: the dropped display ring, the same bag and paperwork reused at pickup, and the word "repair" listed on my original invoice for what was supposed to be a new purchase. He went to check with the original salesperson and came back to tell me that the display ring had actually been resized for me, because ordering my correct size would have taken 20 weeks. A few things worth noting... 1) This was meant to be my wedding band and I was very upfront with that with my salesperson. 2) I was under the impression this was being order brand new in the correct size 3) David Yurman's own policy states this style cannot be resized, yet Orr's resized it anyway. At that point I asked for a full refund and returned the ring. I told him that if something is going to take 20 weeks, customers should be informed and allowed to make that decision themselves, rather than being quietly handed the display model and led to believe it's new. By not informing me of the alleged 20 weeks, the impression I was left with is that this organization prioritizes moving stocked inventory over giving customers what they actually asked for. He got defensive, insisted that's not how Orr's operates, and framed the refund as him doing me a favor, for returning a ring that was originally a half size too small, had been dropped and damaged by their own employee, then resized without repairing that damage, and presented to me as new. He did process the refund, however, the details regarding the "repair" were removed from the receipt he gave me for the refund. When I discovered the damage yesterday, I incorrectly was giving Orr's the benefit of the doubt. Today, after being told it would take 20 weeks to arrive, I ordered the ring from the manufacturer directly and discovered it will arrive much sooner than 20 weeks. It will be here tomorrow. I'll never shop at Orr's again. It's hard to trust an organization who feels comfortable enough to sell a groom a damaged & used wedding band while presenting it as brand new.
