My own insurance undervalued my vehicle, they didn't care what I had to say, they didn't care what proof of value I had. Progressive sent me a list of comps that were not comps at all, it was a list of 2wd vehicle ( my car was 4wd ) they didn't care what I said or how I said it. I was frustrated, mentally exhausted and becoming overwhelmed by it all. On a Saturday evening I sent provalue a message, they responded quickly and asked me to send my files over to them and they would look at it on Monday morning, I did and Henry called me around noon on Monday and told me I was right, I deserved more, and he would get it for me. It sounded too good to be true, it wasn't. When it was all said and done, thanks to provalue I ended up with 4k more in my bank account, THIS IS AFTER PAYING PROVALUE'S FEES 4k more, its a huge improvement, it makes a difference. I should have contacted ProValue right away, I wasted weeks thinking Progressive would fight for me.....well Progressive didn't fight for me, Progressive didn't make it right, But PROVALUE DID FIGHT FOR ME Thank you to the ProValue team!

Whatever competence or experience this firm has is entirely discredited by Ben's unprofessional and…read moreoutright offensive treatment of potential clients. The process of selecting an appraisal, whether for yourself or a client, is clearly fraught with questions and concerns to ensure that financial rights and obligations are diligently protected. After two less-than-five-minute phone calls, Ben cussed me out on the phone for "refusing to show him any money" before asking questions, even after I offered to pay him for his time, and ultimately hung up on me after I simply requested his availability. We were seconds from informing him that we intended to appoint him as the appraiser for a case but very quickly changed our position. This abrasive client service is deplorable and I advise anybody who is in search of a reasonable appraiser to look elsewhere. I would sooner hire a kindergartener to conduct an appraisal than pay this man for his disgusting temperament.

First time getting a jewelry appraisal and left with more than I expected! Patrick was…read moreprofessional, detailed and created a learning session for my friends and I. Three of us went in to obtain a neutral appraisal for diamond studs we purchased from a questionable jeweler. For background, jeweler did not provide GIA certificates after multiple contact attempts. Patrick explained every step of the process and genuinely took his time to teach us and answer our questions. As suspected, the quality of our studs was not as expected. Patrick was helpful in providing guidance as to how to approach the jeweler. Given the urgency of our situation, he kindly provided finalized appraisals sooner than expected! Value of service absolutely exceeded our expectations. Thank you, Patrick! Looking forward to our next appraisal with our upgraded studs.

I had been wanting a custom ring designed using the diamonds from my original engagement and…read morewedding ring (both were kindly gifted 10 years ago my extended family, but not my personal style) , as well as stones from family gifted jewelry that I couldn't wear. I initially went to a standard jeweler to get a custom quote and was told it would start at $2.5k AND they would only use the large stone because the others were "too small." I had a family member who worked with Leo years ago, and my sister reminded me about custom work she did for her as well and recommended I reach out to him and see what he could do. Leo was very prompt in answering my call, said he would likely be able to use my stones was and excited about working together. When we got together I brought all my jewelry I wanted to either use or trade, showed him pictures of a few rings I liked, and talked about the styles I liked. He sketched out a design that we then edited a bit together, and then a week or so later sent the mock up for me to approve. After that it took about 3 more weeks for the ring to be ready. The actual ring is stunning, comfortable, and such a special and unique piece. I opted to wear just this is one ring as a sort of joint wedding/engagement ring rather than have two rings since it's pretty substantial on its own. All in all the experience was great, it was more affordable than I had imagined, and the ring is more beautiful than I had expected. Leo himself is so kind, creative, and fun to work with and I HIGHLY recommend him to anyone looking for a custom piece!

I first met EMILY at Mandarin Gems in Burbank, CA while I was living in Bakersfield, CA…read more EMILY truly impressed me with her HONESTY and fair pricing. I INTRODUCED my family to EMILY. They became very loyal customers and have spent BIG $$$ at Mandarin Gems store. A jewelry purchase that didn't work was kept on a CREDIT Account to be used toward my next purchase. LIFE HAPPENS. I'd befallen a grave illness shortly after my purchase. Miraculously, I remain alive. I've come across my original SALES RECEIPT with $300 credit. My family informed me Mandarin Gems Jewelry moved from Burbank to Glendale and 'Leo' would be the person to contact. Leo told me he would contact EMILY. I've NEVER been contacted by either. Since my family knows EMILY (and Leo) I'm really surprised EMILY never asked about me or how she could contact me about my $300 Store CREDIT. Typically, when any business MOVES they send out NOTICES for Customers who have pending orders or Store CREDITS. My family remains very LOYAL and continues to shop with Mandarin Gems Jewelry as a result of my introduction. I can't believe EMILY choose to PROFIT from my misfortune. THIS IS A REAL AND ACTUAL EXPERIENCE of UNETHICAL and ILLEGAL business practices. I loathe and despise JEWELERS that happen to also be THIEVES! I planned to use my $300 CREDIT towards purchase of a PINK sapphire pendant to match PINK sapphire earrings I bought from Mandarin Gems Jewelry Store. LIFE can be harder for some but, whenever businesses compoundMISERY it's the worst!
