intewedm's Review of Bidz.com www.bidz.com

Overall Rating
- Value for money
- Ease Of Navigation
The prices Bidz.com how for MSRP are not realistic. Those prices would be for the highest quality product, and their items are really low quality. I just bought an opal bracelet and opal earrings and they have virtually no fire in them. They just look like white stones. Some are set cockeyed too. Really costumes jewelery. To add insult to injury, it cost me $41.50 for shipping, transaction fee, return postage, and 15% restocking fee on a $162 purchase. At this rate they could have everything return and still make lots of money. I don't know how some buyers love them. I guess if you think you're getting a good gem and don't have it appraised, you're none the wiser. Opals show you right away if they are garbage or good gems.

I was extremely and pleasantly surprised to receive a FULL refund from bidz.com including shipping and transaction fee. No restocking charge either. I give them an A+ for that!
