These are the prime examples of bad faith in bargaining: 1. "Well the ring is a style that only a few people would want-I can't buy something like this -I'd have a hard time selling it. I have to I melt it down. I can pay you for the metal. " 2. After that statement, then these types say , I'm sorry, that's the best I can do ". He told me this when I had a ring with 9 (0.2 carat) good quality diamonds in the setting. And NO mention of the worth of the diamonds. 2. WALK OUT. Go get some other prices! When I did, he wanted me to "come back!". Don't trust him! These weren't accent stones- you don't remember, I remember clearly our interaction. This was a custom piece that was heavy gold and a large cluster of diamonds measuring 7/8 in. By 3/4 inches . It was not a cookie cutter mass produced ring. I stand by my statement.

He asked if it had a stone and I said yes, a citrine. He said he couldn't do it. He did not explain why and the abruptness of his tone made me afraid to ask, though it would've been good to know. I asked if he could recommend someone else who could do the job. He said "No". That's it -- just "No". I was taken aback, so I said thank you and hung up. I had high hopes after reading the positive reviews. I've been looking for a good jewelry repair person, and could have brought him a lot of future business. Clearly, he's not the one.

I was recently shocked to find out how poorly this company treats its long time repeat customers…read more Over the last deacde, my family has spent nearly $10k framing art for our home and for gifts. No more. Not here. I have always paid 1/2 up front and 1/2 upon pick up. Yet, when I returned to claim my framing this time, I was informed that the store had made an error and the total bill had increased by 35% from roughly $1,000 to nearly $1,500. I had been telephoned 3x in 24 hours by the owner, reminding me that my framing was ready to be picked up. Not once, in any of those telephone conversations, did he raise the change in price. He left that to the employee behind the counter. I was given no choice. I also run a small business and do understand that employees make errors. When they do, our firm owns up to it immediately and the customer NEVER pays for our errors. Our average price point dwarfs that of Creative Framing, so mistakes are quite costly. As for the "honesty, integrity and loads of creativity" that Creative Framing advertises on their web site, I guess one out of of three is about par for the course!

I have to admit, I was a bit hesitant at first, as I was accustomed to taking my art to my picture framer in Manhattan who always did incredible work. Upon entering I was pleasantly surprised to be greeted warmly by the young man behind the counter. It turned out he was the manager of the store and had over 25 years of experience working as a professional picture framer in New York City. The manager had excellent design and color sense, was very patient and made sure I was aware of every detail of the custom framing process. My custom framing job turned out great and I'm very confident that my valuable artwork has been properly preserved with acid-free materials and museum glass. I found my new framer!

Most that I called, were not very nice on the phone & they said he would have to wait almost a week to get a new one since they were booked & busy. I called CT&A and spoke to Mike who was very friendly & helpful. He told me if we placed the order by noon, he could assure delivery by Saturday (only two days). I had him call my dad to go over specifics and he told him to expect a call on Saturday to notify him of the time of arrival. I was worried due to traffic & weather that they might be delayed, but Michael & Standre came over to my Dad's house at 10:30 am and replaced the refrigerator with a brand new one. It fit perfectly in the space and they kindly helped my dad remove its contents and put trash in the garage. They also had to remove a door to fit it into the kitchen but put it back even better than before as it used to be a little loose on the hinges. They could not have been kinder and more sensitive to my dad. I am really impressed with the sales team (Mike) , the delivery experience (Michael & Standre) & the overall level of service & reliability. I can't recommend them enough & will always use County TV for our appliance replacement!

Three people looked at the rings and quoted me $150, and said I could wait until June as it would only take a week. In June, I brought them back and they said, sure, no problem. I got a call later that day saying, they "didn't realize" the rings were platinum and that it would actually be $300. I went back in and said since it was their error that they should honor the price. They were very defensive, saying, well mistakes happen. This is literally their job to know jewelry. Three people saw them and not one thought it might be platinum? The taller man with the glasses said they can't be expected to do it for $150, they would lose money, but they had someone else who could do it for that amount. Ok, fine. Three weeks later, ON MY WEDDING DAY, literally hours after my husband put it on my finger, my wedding band splits in 2. I was devastated. I brought it back the next day, and instead of being apologetic, the same tall man said defensively, well your ring is thin. Seriously??! It's a standard, normal wedding band. He took it and said, I'll have it by Thursday. Again, no real apology by anyone, including the woman or the owner, who were both there. It's appalling. Today is Friday and still no ring. These people do not know what they're doing, and worse, they are plain rude. Stay away if you value your jewelry. UPDATE: The other ring, my custom platinum engagement ring, also broke in half. I will be attempting to collect the money I paid initially, as they have ruined both my wedding band and ring within 2 months. I'm heartbroken.
