Diamond.com - no more local jewelry retailer

Diamond.com, extraordinary selection with exceptional value. I have been comparing prices with many local stores including wholesaler who showed me the Rapport price. Diamond.com has the best price. See also my post Why I gave up on my local jewelers. Painful!!! and Enjoy Toronto's diamond buying guide for a middle person

Why I shop @ Diamond.com?

  1. GIA certification. All the diamonds in diamond.com comes with a GIA certification. The certification number is laser inscribed on the girdle of the stone. What you got is what you paid for.
  2. Free independent apparel. Save me a trip to an appraiser in Toronto downtown.
  3. Pay absolutely no duty, GST, or sales commission. The jewelry come from Montreal. I only need to pay a 6% PST which shows up in the receipt at checkout. There is no hidden cost at all.
  4. All major credit cards accepted. I put all my purchases on my TD gold travel credit card to accelerate my free travel and get the extended warranty and extra insurance. See my Free Travel from TD Canada Trust post for the details.
  5. Easy monthly payment with 0% interest. This is huge. We are talking about diamonds here. I can defer the payment and let my money work harder for me.
  6. Free shipping. They always offer me free upgrade to the FedEX overnight priority, although I choose the free basic shipping. Diamond.com credits my card only after I sign off the package.
  7. Free return shipping. Yes, including the return shipping. Just use their FedEX account code.
  8. 30-day money back guarantee. No question asked. I don't feel pressure at all.
  9. Free gift boxing. Gift boxing is a common headache to many guys. Diamond.com got that covered for me.
