I have been a loyal customer of JRC Gold Exchange since the week they opened because I wanted to…read moresupport a local business. Over the past year, I have spent more than $11,000 with them and always felt that my business was appreciated. Unfortunately, my most recent transaction changed that impression completely. After placing a large order, more than two weeks passed without any shipping update. It took three separate requests before I finally received a tracking number. Tyler assured me my package would arrive the following Tuesday, but when I checked the tracking information myself, it showed that only a shipping label had been created. The carrier had not yet received the package. Because of the delay and conflicting information, I requested to cancel my order. Tyler told me that wasn't possible because the order had already shipped, even though the tracking information clearly showed otherwise. After asking to speak with the owner, I spoke with him briefly. Our conversation focused solely on how I wanted my refund issued. There was no discussion of the conflicting shipping information or the concerns that led me to cancel the order. Since I had paid by credit card, I requested that it be credited back to my card, but I was told a cash refund would be easier. When I picked up my refund, I was handed a large amount of cash with no receipt or documentation. After counting it at home, I discovered I had been shorted by more than $200. I immediately contacted the owner and returned to collect the remaining balance. Again, I was handed cash with no paperwork. Since the beginning of this issue, I have requested three separate times to speak with the owner to provide feedback about my experience. Each time I was told he was unavailable, in a meeting, or out of the office. Despite those requests, I have never received a return call. The true measure of a business isn't how it treats customers when everything goes right--it's how it responds when something goes wrong. I chose to support JRC Gold Exchange from the week they opened because I believe in supporting local businesses. Unfortunately, this experience left me feeling that a year of loyalty and more than $11,000 in business were not met with the level of accountability, communication, or customer care I expected. I will do business with Portland Gold Exchange in Sellwood going forward.

Then you'll come to, blushing, only to realize you, like so many needy Pawn Shop Patrons before, simply got lost in the flowing, golden locks of the Gentleman helping you. But, despite your distraction, help he will! As though there were a forest of chivalry just as thick as the locks crowning the mind it's resident in, this brave soul and his comrades will see no rest until an unquestionable success has been achieved, whatever the reasons you first pushed open those glass doors and stumbled into that whitewash of fluorescent lighting and glittery miscellany. And, damn it, they'll have fun doing it! As far as I can tell, satisfaction with your experience here is one of the closest things you'll ever get as a guarantee in this crazy, confusing world of ours. Unless, I guess, you're the young, greasy, soft-skinned emo kid pawning the synthesizer, previously intended for use in becoming the next big electro-synth panty-dropper in Portland, who is standing next to you and who keeps complaining the process simply isn't fast enough. What an unfortunate generation he belongs to, lost to the decadence of instant-gratification and mind-numbingly tight pants. Don't let him deter your confidence in how pleasant an experience you'll find here. The only... the ONLY reason why they've not been awarded a full allotment of stars is because, though while I didn't experience it directly, I overheard that one of the employees had terrible, terrible breath. And that is just faux pas.

Just good, honest people who know their stuff. I'll definitely be stopping by again the next time I'm in Oregon. Highly recommend checking them out if you're into coins or bullion.

They were not willing to return them to me, even though I had a serial number and physical proof that they were at that location. I had to get the police involved, and over a week later were able to retrieve them. Total headache if you ask me. Key takeaways here. The staff was rude, unapologetic, and hesitant to return stolen property that they had unlawfully purchased. They obviously don't check if the items they purchase are stolen and have no problem making it a hassle for people to retrieve their stolen property, even when it's super obvious. I don't personally shop at pawn shops; they are a total rip-off, but I had no clue they were chop shops for illegally stolen products. Great business model there.
