What a horrible establishment this is!!!!!!! Unfortunately, I didn't find out until I had spent thousands (5 frames, lenses and my exams). But, as soon as I had a problem with my Cartier frames and needed them to assist me, with having them replaced, I got to see their true colors. From the moment I walked into the store and gave Bob my glasses, he immediately accused me of having dropped them, which I had not. Dropping them under any stretch of the imagination wouldn't have caused this type of cloudiness with chipping like nail polish to the bridge. He was insistent with his accusation and told me that Cartier would not be replacing my frames without batting an eye or even looking to see if they were still covered under the warranty. I asked him not to be so pessimistic because I believe that the truth will always yield the appropriate result. So, I struggled to overlook the worst customer service I'd experienced and asked him to show some optimism and to look further into the situation so he looked to see when I had purchased the glasses because I didn't know the exact date and found out that I had them 2.25 years which was 3 months past the Cartier warranty. I expected that the frames were defective because I take very good care of my glasses as they are an extension of my face and I work very hard to provide such frames for myself. I insisted that Bob do the right thing and contact Cartier as I was sure they would stand behind their product so he said he would and that he would contact me by Friday (it was Tuesday) but, of course, he did not. He called the following Monday or Tuesday to say that Cartier had concluded the same thing (that I had dropped them) by way of some photographs they had sent them. I was certain that they concluded no such thing. I expressed to Bob that this was unacceptable to me and that I expected him to send the actual frames to them and, again, he said he would, but, again, he did not. So, 5 days later I receive a call from Wendy (owner) and was told that Cartier no longer allows them to mail any frames. I thought Cartier was in possssion of the frames by now and was expecting a call from them to say they were mailing my new frames so that I would never have to encounter anyone at Salle's ever again. Wendy was relentless at trying to convince me to let her restore my frames as best as possible but I wasn't willing to accept the unacceptable. So I told her no, thanks! But, she was not taking no for an answer so I asked her why Bob had said he would mail them and she wouldn't answer that question. I also told her how poorly I was treated and she also dismissed that so I decided to tell her that I knew if I was a different shade, I wouldn't have or continue to be treated so poorly and she exploded and told me that the conversation was over and hung up on me. I had contacted Cartier myself on that initial Tuesday to inform them about the situation and they assured me that I had taken the right first step to return them to the optician. With each encounter I had with Salle, I contacted Cartier via email with immediate response. I eventually called Cartier and spoke with Elizabeth and she told me that Salle's could mail the frames so I asked her if she would get on a 3-way call with Salle's and we did. When I'd initially asked to speak with Wendy they told me she wasn't there but when I told them I had Cartier on the line, she magically appeared. She got on the phone and immediately went into her rant stating that she wouldn't do anything for me because I had called her a racist instead of being helpful she continued further proving to me what type of people I was dealing with so I told her okay I'd pick up my frames and said goodbye. As I continued to provide Elizabeth with what she needed to have my frames replaced, Wendy interjected another bout of negativity as she was eavesdropping. I just continued my conversation with Elizabeth and I guess she hung up or stayed on the phone...it was ridiculous! I posted a review on Google and Wendy replies to it and lied stating my frames were in poor condition and that I had had them for 3+ years, etc. There is no way that I'd be walking around with the frames she described on my face! Anytime, someone has to lie about a situation it speaks loud to their character. I had taken a picture of myself the very same day that the frames started breaking down and they looked perfect. I shared this with Cartier so if they needed to see the picture which the iPhone dates, they would have all the proof they needed. I had noticed a white cloudy area to the bridge, perplexed to find it there, I took them off again and proceeded to wash them and during the drying process the white cloudy area got larger and began to crack kind of like nail polish. Needless to say, Cartier has replaced the frames. Wendy said in her reply that I got what I wanted; the fact is, I got what I deserved as will she! KARMA!!! read more
