So you work up the courage, buy an engagement ring, and ask the love of your life to marry you. If she says yes, you may be able to live the fairytale life and be happy for all of your years. But what if you ask her, she says yes, but absolutely hates the ring that you chose? Or even worse, she says no and breaks your heart! Well, you will be pleased to know that all is not lost.
Returning a Ring
When you buy designer engagement rings in Brisbane city, the majority of the more reputable companies that sell engagement rings will usually accept returns on a limited basis. If you have had a bespoke ring created, then you may be out of luck. A dealer may accept the ring back, but usually at less than what you paid for it. You should always think twice before having a customised or bespoke ring if you intend it to be a surprise. Sometimes men do not always know the women in their lives as much as we like to think that they do!
Store Credit
You will often find that a lot of stores are willing to offer store credit when returning a ring, especially if the ring is bespoke or has been modified. There are many advantages of buying wholesale diamonds and creating a bespoke ring, such as overall cost, but if she says no, you will most likely take a loss on the ring if you sell it. If your girl has said yes but hates the ring that you chose, store credit is the perfect solution for you. You can take her to the shop and let her pick the ring of her dreams, which is an excellent way to start life as a betrothed couple.
Method of Payment
Depending on how you paid for the ring can also depend on whether the store will let you return the ring. If you pay via a credit card, you are offered a lot more protection, so you may be able to return the ring easier. Some stores are just as friendly with cash payments, and ultimately it will depend on the shop from where you bought the ring.
Buyers Protection
In all states, there are laws in place to protect consumers and make sure that unscrupulous retailers do not get away with taking advantage of their customers. You can quickly check online your entitlement as a consumer on the Australia.gov.au website, and see where you stand from a legal point of view.
Knowing your rights as a consumer can assist you when dealing with some of the lower brow retailers. But, in all honesty, if you deal with a reputable company they will usually do as much as they can to help you out. Whether she said yes and you need to choose a new ring, or she said no and you feel heartbroken, most jewellers are a sympathetic lot of people.
