Why should I purchase from Graystone?
Our company is large enough to obtain any luxury brand you desire at greatly discounted prices, yet small enough to give you exceptional customer service. Graystone Jewelers, Ltd. is registered with the Jewelers Board of Trade. Our JBT number is 02497188. We are insured with Jewelers Mutual Insurance Company. We are a proud member of the Lake Tahoe South Shore Chamber of Commerce, and the Better Business Bureau. We have chosen VeriSign to secure our website and to protect your personal information. You can verify our company by clicking on the VeriSign logo on the "About Us" page, under the "Customer Service" tab, or on any page during the checkout process. We only sell new, brand-name, high-end watches and jewelry. We have a courteous, professional, and knowledgeable staff, offering outstanding customer service. We guarantee 100% customer satisfaction. Whether you buy online, or over the phone, we offer secure transactions with superior fraud protection. We have outstanding after sales service and repair facilities.
Why don't you price all of the watches on your website?
The watch market is continually changing with new models and new brands coming out regularly. It would be difficult if not impossible to list all of the watches from every manufacturer on our website. We can source any luxury brand, and the typical savings is between 10% and 30% off the manufacturer's full retail price, depending on the brand. We also do not charge sales tax (except to Nevada residents), so that's an additional savings to most of our customers. This is why we ask you to give us the model(s) you are interested in knowing the price and availability, and we will get back to you in a very timely manner.
How are orders processed?
Upon placing your order with Graystone Limited, your credit card is verified for authenticity with the issuing bank, including name, address, and CCV number. Your credit card is not submitted for payment until your order has been processed and is ready to ship. If you order an item that is temporarily out of stock, you will be notified by email or telephone and be given the option to cancel your order, or continue with the back-ordered item. We will make every effort to give you a reasonable estimate of the delayed arrival time. You may cancel your order at any time prior to shipping, subject to our return/cancellation policy. Every attempt is made to process your order for shipment the same day the order is received. Should you place an order after our regular business hours, over the weekend, or on a holiday, please be aware that we will not be able to process or ship your order until the next regular business day.
