    I believe that Stauer deliberately sends out unacceptable products so that they can keep high fees amounting to $47.50 on shipping, insurance and return shipping. I ordered the "Opal Opulence" ring which looked gorgeous in their catalog, using a 60% off coupon, to get it for $59.60 plus $9.18 tax (15%!, don't know how they came up with that), for a total of $68.78. To that Stauer added $29.95 for shipping and $4.75 for insurance (on a $70 ring!), bringing the total up to $103.48. I was surprised it was so much, but the picture was so pretty, and I agreed to pay it. However, what I received was a worse-than-seconds ring with no color which should never have got past Quality Control. If I returned it, out of the $103 I paid, I would get only the cost of the ring and tax back, minus Stauer's $12.50 return fee, for a total refund of $56.28.

    Meanwhile Stauer would keep $47.50 in fees. I remembered that this was the third time Stauer had sent me obviously unacceptable product. I checked back to when I began with Stauer in 2019, and the shipping costs, etc., had more than doubled. Used to be $9.95 for shipping, $8 for return. So Stauer tripled the shipping, added 50% to return fee, and added unneeded insurance, and then starting sending out jewelry that they knew would get returned, but they could keep $47.50 fees every time.

    I wrote them a demand letter, calling a scam for what it was and demanding return of all my monies or I would report them to my credit card company. Waited five weeks and then sent the whole package to the credit card company, including my demand letter and photos of the product advertised and what I received. And emphasizing that I considered it a scam. I ended up getting all my money back. If you receive similar defective jewelry and want to fight Stauer (for the principle if nothing else), create a paper trail. Make your complaint in writing, attach photos, and don't pay before you file your dispute or the credit card will not act.

    I have purchased jewelry in the past, but this was the first time I purchased a watch, I bought the Gabel watch for my husband. The leather band tore within a week after maybe wearing it for 5 hours, the leather cover was so thin it tore. I didn't return then because I figured the next one would last long as the first one. And it wasn't a big deal. But now the watch stopped working, it won't reset the chronograph anymore and it is almost 6 months old. And I rarely wear it. Maybe 5 hours a week. A piece of junk. And I am not paying for shipping, insurance, etc. to receive another piece of junk. So please don't send me any more catalogs, and DO NOT renew my membership.

    After 2 orders on 4/5/2023 and a second order a few days later, I had in one day 9 fraudulent changes on my credit card in a single day. The next day I had a slug of e-mails from various sources claiming that my e-mail account was about to be closed and asking me to click a line to provide updated information. Only one source for this breach. Stauer. Needless to say, I will not be ordering anything more from Stauer.

    Purchasing from Stauer Jewelry was very easy. They contacted me because I had some problems with sizing that I had to send back the rings and a knife. They're easy to work with. The product is as advertised, and it's very good value for what you pay for it. It's low cost. I had a salesman call me about having the higher price stuff in the vault. So, the stuff they say is to get people into the business so they could try to sell people higher prices.

    I bought one of your graves watches not realizing the problems. I need to replace the wristband. I've just spent two hours trying to find a replacement. As far as I can tell, replacement wristbands for this watch do not exist. I’m looking at throwing the stupid thing in a drawer since I can’t get a new wristband.

    My husband ordered a heart with chain for me for Christmas. The chain arrived broken. We requested a return voucher from you, and returned it to you in the end of December. After three calls to your company for information as to when we would get out replacement chain, no one knew anything. We even got the UPS information when you got it back. Now it’s February and we received a different chain, plus your charge for tax and shipping as if it were a new order. Stauer is a big Rip Off company and I would strongly advise any potential shoppers to go elsewhere. My husband held on the phone for over 20 mInures today just to be cut off. It was their mistake and we are getting no help from them!

    I have purchased 2 watches and 3 rings from Stauer but the ring I purchased just over a year ago broke. I am retired and the ring was never stressed in any way. I called Stauer and asked if they could at least fix it and they would not stand behind their product. I would have to send it back to them at a 29 dollar fee and then also pay to get it fixed the amount the ring cost. I figured they should stand behind their product because I feel a ring should last for more than barely over a year.

    I bought a "DOWN UNDER bowie knife" from Stauer.com, the product they sent me was made in Pakistan instead of Taiwan, not made by "Down Under" company. The box of their product clearly prints "Stands Alone Chipaway Cutlery", not "Down Under" branded knife. On the product listing page from Stauer.com, the description was nearly identical to "Down Under" official website, therefore, I believe Stauer.com had every intention of selling this knife as a "Down Under" product, even though they know very well their product is counterfeit.

    I thought about keeping the knife when they told me I had to pay out of pocket to return the product, but the extremely low quality of the product would make it a danger to its user! By comparing this Stauer product to my authentic "Down Under" knife, the sheath leather is half the thickness of the real "Down Under" sheath, and Stauer sheath used painted FOAM spacer instead of leather, I don't think the sheath will last very long...

    The knife blade is made of low quality metal, which flexes easily by hand. I worry it will snap in half if I continue applying pressure. The real "Down Under" knife does not bend even when I stand on it...! The Stauer knife's blade is half the thickness of a real "Down Under" bowie knife, and it has black chemical stain all over the blade (not the pattern, but actual spot stain from poor craftmanship), one big black stain on the hilt. The blade doesn't hold edge once I start chopping. On Stauer's website it states this knife is made of 420 surgical stainless steel. I find it laughable.

    Although I cleaned the knife several times, my hand smells like rusty metal if I touched the blade. I browsed through Stauer's website, and noticed many of their products lack detailed information such as product origin, inaccurate material information(in my case). For the listing price on their website, you could buy a real nice product from a recognized brand like "Down Under". After back and forth communication with Stauer.com, I learned they will refund only the product price, I would lose the shipping charge and return shipping charge, despite the fact they are selling a counterfeit product. I advice anyone planning on shopping at Stauer to be extremely cautious...!

    When received, the item was much larger than the catalogue picture, and looked more like a knuckle duster than a ring. We returned it by post on 12/12, but Stauer claim it did not arrive until 12/27, which even allowing for Christmas post and USPS general crap service, does not really compute. It will take another 14 days for them to process the return of our money. This is not the 10-day service mentioned in the catalogue. Your service sucks and we will never use you again.

    I placed a large order on 11/15 for Christmas gifts. After being delayed for 4 weeks, due to the claimed reason that not every single item in the order was in stock yet. By the time Stauer finally processed my credit card, a month after the order was placed, the card was no longer valid due to fraudulent activity being detected. Thanks for sending the email that my order would be canceled in 48 hours, I found it 3 days later. I gave you 4 weeks, and I got 48 hours and not a single phone call. No reason to try to reinstate the order now, since the apparently necessary 6-week lead time would place Christmas in February this year. By the way, the phone service rep tried to sneak an extra $50 on another order by claiming that a coupon that I was sent by Stauer wasn't valid. And, oh yes, I noticed that you delete unfavorable product reviews. Very trustworthy. Yes, I'm not expecting you to post this one...
