Is this a legit website?

beljwl · Feb 6th, 2007, 07:48 PM

http://www.jomashop.com/gucci-ya112501.html I really love this watch. Is it to good to be true? Is there a way to check out this company? When I go to Yahoo and put the style of the watch this is the place that comes up.

If it's too good to be true it usually is :) People have to learn that the big designers do now allow people to sell online!
I bought this watch (from Gucci of course) for my daughter it is gorgeous!

in the fendi forum..there is a thread about a bad experience from there

They are not an authorized retailer for most of the designer merchandise they sell, which is concerning.

Thank you to everyone who responded!!!

I also posted the same question on another forum on the board and someone said they saw the same watch on sale at Macy's and this is was my respose.

REALLY!!!! WOW!!! Thanks for that info. I have been reading about Jomashop mostly on the Fendi board and there is also 300+ reviews about them on Epinions.com The general consensus is that yes, what they sell is authentic. But that their customer service is beyond bad. I have also read most peoples complaint is that things on the web site are out of stock and they don't find out for a few days that it is out of stock Other major complaints are that sometimes that packaging of the items looks pretty beat up but what they bought is okay. I can deal with a dirty or messed up box since I am not wearing the box. My biggest concern is that if I have a problem with the watch I will be S.O.L. Since they are not "Authorized Dealers' I would feel MUCH better buying it from Macy's or Bloomindales (or any other Dept. Store) To me buying from Macy's is the same as buying directly from Gucci.

Just a side note. When I finally thought to do a search on Jomashop (Duh) there is another thread on asking for discounts. Someone bought a Wedding ring at Cartier and asked for a discount and people were surprised that Cartier offered discounts and then a few other people said that almost all Jewelry and Watch store will negotiate for better prices. I just would feel weird asking for a discount at Gucci but I guess if you can do it at Cartier that is might also work Gucci.

Yea...mind you I know nothing about this site.

However, I can tell you to my knowledge I don't think there is such a thing as FAKE Christofle!

Christofle, for those of you who don't know is a VERY EXPENSIVE company that specializes in sterling silver, stemware, serving pieces, and much more!!!

Don't know what to tell you, but I am a huge fan of Christofle - have some glass pieces and sterling silver pieces and that stuff is EXPENSIVE!!!!

...GREAT PRICES, nice discounts on the Christofle stemware - now I have to go check their sterling silver flatware prices...wow, just checked....

[off the topic, but worth sharing..]

Christofle Sterling Silver Albi 5 Piece Set 1437-185
$648.00 - normally
$375.84 - their price!! What a deal, thanks for sharing this site with me!!!

Christofle Stainless Steel Mimosa 5 Piece Set 2436-185
$111.00 -normally a 5 pc. setting in stainless, not sterling silver
$72.00 - their price!!

Yea, aside from what I wrote about - it reminds me a lot like a Overstock, BlueFly - which also sell Gucci, for example.

itsgood2beme · Feb 9th, 2007, 01:29 PM

Great prices on Movado watch's as well!!!

Try going to a jewelery store in an Asian shopping plaza if there is one near you. Chong Hing and Hing Wah Lee are reputable high-end jewelry chain stores. You can really cut down on the msrp, esp if you say that a competing store offered it for less. I bought a Gucci watch that was about $995 on gucci.com but cut it down to $750--including tax! Don't feel bad about bargaining...they expect it.

silvergsboy · Feb 11th, 2007, 10:11 AM

YES, it is a reputable site - well not sure if reputable but their stuff is authentic. Bought a Gucci shoulder sling...i posted pictures of it awhile back. 30% cheaper than buying from Gucci, no tax, free shipping and arrived really fast!!!

It showed out of stock on the website but I called customer service and they had it available but didn't update the site...she had to check the availability, took down my name and number and called me back in a 1/2 hr or so...
