Much awaited rings

Days left: 30 days as of today

Wow one month to go? Is this real? Anyways I've posted at w@w regarding my rant over at Goldenhills. Here's my long rant about it.

Hi mga sis,

Medyo naiinis na ko sa Goldenhills ha. Goldehills yung unang unang supplier na

na book namin for our wedding rings sa Expo pa para nga maka discount and may

freebies. So we had our design and sizes already. Since matagal pa wedding namin

from the time that we booked them we opted for their installment basis payment.

Tapos nag change kami ng wedding dat so we informed goldenhills na lang din baka

kasi isipin nila hindi na namin kukunin yung rings. Early this year natapos na

namin payments with them so finalize na lang ng size and design and iniba pa nga

namin yung design ng rings kaya nag email pa ko sa main office nila. Here's my

rant:

Trinoma saleswoman experience:

Everytime we make our payment with her lagi niyang kaming tinititigan ni h2b and

hinihingi niya talaga lahat ng OR namin tapos itatawag pa niya sa tao kung sino

yung nakapirma sa first OR transaction namin nung expo. Ang hirap pa nun kasi

yung unang naka transact namin nalipat sa Clark branch nila. Kaya just for one

payment inaabot kami ng almost 30 mins to 1 hr. Nung last payment namin sa

kanila ganun ulit yung ginawa nung babae samin.

Hindi ko tuloy alam kung hindi siya naniniwala na bumili kami ng ring. Nainis

na ko sa trato niya samin kaya nung nakausap ni h2b yung sa main office I made

sure na sabihin sa kanya yung trato samin nung girl. I will not do this kung

lahat ng branch nila ganun yung SOP. kaso yung sa SM North Branch hindi naman

ganun yung ginawa. Shejust checked the first OR eh since complete yung files na

dala ko na yun naman yung lagi kong dala ang bilis ng transaction namin wala

pang 15 mins. tapos na. Pero sa kanya iba talaga.

2nd rant:

When we finalized everything so nag go na kami to do the rings kahit medyo 3

months (June 21) pa ang layo ng wedding. Sabi sakin nung bagong nagaassist samin

na 2weeks min to 1 month lang naman daw gagawin yung rings. Last July 20/21 (1

month after the last transaction) Nag text kami sa Trinoma to inform yung sa

engraving nawalakasi sa isip ko yung engraving and hindi rin naman nila

ipinaalala. Sabi ko sa kanila cursive yung engraving with our names and the date

just that simple. Tapos the main office texted me asking kung ano daw ang

cursive? and script daw ba yung engraving namin. Naloka ko to the highest level.

Then she told me na nakapila pa daw yung rings namin bakit sabi ko kala ko ba 1

month max na yun eh bakit nakapila pa lang? so tinapos ko na yung usapan dun.

3rd rant:

I found out, hindi sinabi ni h2b nabasa ko lang sa phone niya, na tinatanong

ulit ni Trinoma kung script daw ba yung engraving namin? Sus naman naloka na

talaga ako. nagalit pa ko k h2b bakit hindi niya sinabi sakin sabi na lang ni

h2b na alam daw niya kasi na magagalit ako malamang diba magagalit ako last week

lang ulit sila nagparamdam tapos ganun ulit tanong nila. Aug na. inagahan ko na

nga yung pagpapagawa ng rings para tapos na kami dun less na yung iisipin namin

sa kanila pa pala ko mahihirapan.

Sorry mga sis napahaba. Nag email na ulit ako this morning sa main office nila I

will see kung anong excuse nila. Baka biglang nandun na rings namin hindi nila

kami sinasabihan maloloka ako lalo.

Sabihin niyo naman sakin kung may mali akong ginawa. Ang alam ko kasing mali ko

hindi ko nasabi yung sa engraving part.

As what I have expected when I emailed them that morning at 10 am a few minutes later they texted me and told me that our rings are ready for pick up. When I went home I've read their email that our rings was already in their store in Trinoma last July 23. They forgot to text us. Hay sus naman!!!! Good thing we loved our rings kung hindi I don't know what will happen... :)

(Finally we got our rings)

(love their box)

(Our free arrhae)

(After 2 months of waiting we get to see them)

(sparkly)

(for HIM, plain white gold 4.5mm band)

(for HER, 2mm white gold with 6 stones)

(i can't stop looking at them, sorry)

(one more month and i'll be able to wear them)

Sorry long post... :) I just love them... :)

That's it. Till Next Time.

Happy Preps... :)

Misunderstanding

Days Left: 282 days as of today

Back in 2009, Charles and I purchased our wedding bands at Goldenhills it was during the bridal fair at SM Megamall. The ring that we saw is a 5mm white gold with 6 stones circling the whole ring. We both don't like that many stones so Ms. Karen, the one who assisted us, told us that we can remove some stones. So Charles & I decided to have just 3 stones on each band. Payment after payment after payment. Charles saw in our receipt under item description:

"pair wedding ring with 6* (stones) each band cartier"

When we made our payment last November 26, 2010 we asked Ms. Jana regarding our concern. Because we specifically said 3 stones only. She even told us that it must be a total of 6 because 3 stones each but no because it says there "6 stones EACH band". Charles' concern is about the price of the ring. If the rate given us was for the 6 stones each or 3 stones each. They informed us to call Ms. Karen who is now based on SM Clark regarding the ring.

I called them and asked for Ms. Karen, the one who answered is Ms. Yogi, she told me that there is no Karen there only a person named Cathy. Whatttt??????

But thankfully she helped me with my concern. She took the details of the receipt so they can pull out their Job order then she will just call me back. After about 15 minutes she called. And guess what? In their Job order it was written there 3 stones each band. I asked if they could forward the JO at Trinoma so we can have a look. Ms. Yogi told me it will be forwarded tomorrow and we could check it there.

I hope this will end well. We are not mad at anyone we just want to clarify it.

That's it. Till Next Time.

Happy Preps... :)

A Productive Day

Days Left: 337 days as of today

Date: Oct. 04, 2010 (Monday)

Masama daw maglabas ng pera pag monday dahil magtutuloy-tuloy daw ang labas ng pera ng buong linggo. But we have no choice. Pag may pera na kailangan magbayad sa supplier. =)

B.A. Studio

I scheduled last saturday to meet up with them for additional payment. Our scheduled meet-up is at Waltermart North Edsa by 1pm on Monday. Come monday Ms. Evelyn our contact person called me and asked if we can move it by 2pm. So i said it's okay. By 2:15pm I left the house to go to waltermart since it's near our house i arrived just before 2:30pm. I texted Ms. Evelyn to tell her that I'm at the place already but she didn't reply. after 15mins still no reply. So i decided to go to Mercury first. Still no reply, so I went to the bank. At around 3pm a Ms. Rose from BA texted and she said she's on her way (take note: on her way) Charles is getting annoyed already because it has been an hour and I'm alone. After 30 mins Ms. Rose finally arrived. She apologized for being late because she came from libis. For me it is not an excuse to let your client wait for you for an hour and a half but i kept my temper cool since I'm in a good mood that day. So I gave her the money and signed the receipt and we said our thank you's and goodbye.

Goldenhills

Finally after months of asking and telling Charles that its about time to pay for our rings we did eventually did it... =) Muntikan pa kaming masarahan cause they close the stores at 7pm. We arrived there a little past 7pm buti na lang Ms. Cai attended to us pa but we paid for the exact amount cause their vault is closed already. No worries there. And we told her that we moved the wedding date to next year.

Yey for us for a productive and expensive day. =)

Due to lack of time I forgot to check out simplejoys to look for accessories for my DIY wedding cord. Maybe next time.

That's it. Till Next Time.

Happy Preps... :)

Heirloom

Days Left: 452 days as of today

I asked my mom if she have any ring that I can use. Because the ring that she's currently wearing is the one I like. Then she said she have one ring that she's not using because it's small. I told her I'll just look for a shop or a trusted "alahera" that can resize the ring. She said she will give it to me tomorrow. Then while we were talking regarding Pilipinas Got Talent winner and A big school for my niece. She handed me the ring. It's too small for me as well (damn you chubby fingers).

Then she handed me this other ring. She keeps on saying that it's her wedding ring, I told her that it's an engagement ring but the ring has my father's name engraved on it and their wedding date. Odd, but the ring is so simple and nice. Here's the shocking part. When she said. "Oh ayan dalawang singsing binigay ko sayo ha?!" Binigay? I was just borrowing pero okay na rin... :) I'm so happy because she gave me her engagement ring but my sister got married first so if it's an heirloom she should have given it to my older sister right?! Anyways I was so happy that I did this blog right away and asked a few friends if they know a trusted alahera to do the job. :) Here's the ring... :)

(Need to resize it 2 sizes bigger, again damn you chubby fingers)

Thanks mom for the rings. :)

That's it. Till Next Time.

Happy Preps... :)

1. P/V

3. Rings

Details:
Design: 3 stones, 5mm, white gold, shiny
Budget: Check
Comment: 20% discount

Finally one more supplier to scratch on my long list.

Thank you Ms. Karen for being very nice and very accommodating. Thank you for just laughing with us with all our kakulitan... :)
