So there is no recourse . I couldn't believe that . There must have been an error imputing my payment into the new computer . Chris said to late anyways we put it out Feb 27th . But when I called in March they said I was in my grace period for March and I could come in when feeling better and make payment . How can that be because the item would have already been put back on the floor when there telling me its ok to make my March payment until I got into the store. Chris informed me there was nothing that could be done deliguent account what don't you get about that . What I'm having a problem with is why when I made my February payment the man said they weren't in the store. This is something I own now and paying on and it's not there ? No written agreement ? What ? Part 3 coming soo

One day I went in and bought a nintendo DS for my son. My mistake? Not checking the unit until I left the store. Their mistake? The new guy started a fight and accused me of breaking it.

I've never had to use it for longer than 10 minutes, and it is in great condition, they pay a 1/3 of what the listings are on eBay, anyone reading this can search up the model of generator and see there is only one generator listed as of right now (5/1/26) for $749.89. One of the employees pulled up a PART of the generator which was listed for $179.99 and decided to offer me $25 for the working generator. I think pawn shops do good things in some cases but this was unfair and I won't attempt to do buisness with them again.

As funny as it may sound but I actually went online to read about pawn shops and got on YouTube but too much rambling so I just went on ahead. I was first assisted by Ramon and I believe this was mid Dec. 2022. Then I received a letter from the establishment stating that my watch will be seized if I fail to pick it up 10 days after March 30, 2023 which was the deadline. I called immediately because the two issues I encountered were: 1. I had moved to a new address so by the time I received the letter it was the 9th day. 2. I had to get a short extension due to a small complication with my company's direct deposit. Ramon wasn't there the day I called but Carlo assisted me after telling him my concerns. Carlo was respectful over the phone and I appreciate that he didn't cut me off at any point. My request was granted and I picked up my watch today (04/11/23) with no issues. That said, I'd like to give a huge shout out to Ramon and Carlo for their professionalism! I'm damn sure I'll be returning to their establishment again if I ever need help. Just one more thing I'd like to add is that they have a very welcoming vibe the two times I came in and that's a huge plus for me. With other establishments I personally don't see a point in wanting to get up to work if you're going to look dead and / or unwelcoming. Once again, thank you.

Because the ring carries a lot of sentimental value, we wanted to find a jeweler who would respect its meaning while helping us make a few changes. After doing research on jewelers who specialize in custom work, we decided to visit Dynasty Jewelers based on the consistently great reviews for Jorge and his son, Steven, and I'm so glad we did. From our initial meeting, Jorge was incredibly welcoming and genuinely eager to help. My partner showed him photos of design ideas for resizing and updating the ring, and Jorge gave honest, thoughtful feedback about what would ultimately look best while still preserving the original character of the piece. I emphasized my desire to make minimal changes in order to maintain its sentimental value, and Jorge completely understood that. The ring was ready within a week. When we picked it up, Jorge wasn't there, but Steven helped us and was just as wonderful. Even though Jorge was the one we had initially spoken with, Steven knew every detail of the changes that were made and explained the design choices and care instructions thoroughly. It really showed how much care and communication goes into their work as a family business. While we were there, I also brought in several pieces of jewelry I was considering selling. Instead of trying to buy them on the spot, Steven gave me honest advice on the best way to sell them in order to get the most value. I really appreciated that -- at no point did either Jorge or Steven try to simply win our business. They genuinely seemed focused on helping us make the best decisions. In the end, the ring turned out exactly how we envisioned it. It's beautiful, meaningful, and something I'll cherish forever. They also told us we could bring the ring back for cleaning, which we really appreciated. I highly recommend Dynasty Jewelers to anyone looking for honest guidance, quality craftsmanship, and people who truly care about their customers and the stories behind their jewelry.

I kept coming through this shop looking at their selection for like 2 years.

Through this process I discovered I like filigree rings from the 1920's! When it was time for my fiancé to make a purchase, we came here, even though we had moved to L.A.

He was knowledgeable about the merchandise, offered to show us others items we might be interested in (eventually bought!!) and was extremely patient while we shopped and asked questions. The overall atmosphere of the shop was not the same. The manager on duty seemed bothered by the amount of time we were there and didn't greet the few other customers that came in with the same enthusiasm or care that we received from Nick. We would definitely return to the store but, only if Nick was working. We easily spent 10x what we intended and with no regrets. I hope that he's compensated well because with his personality and gift at selling he would do great in any other sales position.

Very polite, kind and accommodating staff . Well recommended to family and friends. Thanksread more
