What Has Happened to Direct Shopping Network (DSNTV)
Posted by
jewelry buyer
GLENDALE, CALIFORNIA -- DSNTV was one of the best sites to find estate jewelry with Jack Jackles as well as jewelry from other hosts. In the past seven years, the only problem I had was with one or two tiny diamonds missing. One I sent back and one I kept. Still no big deal for what I received.
On December 30th, 2008 I ordered a pendant with vs diamonds and a stunning ocean blue, black opal that was deep sapphire blue. There was only one. Two days later, Art was selling it again! I immediately called and asked if that was the only one ( since its pretty difficult to match an opal) She said, "Yes" I told her I bought it a few says earlier and she immediately told Art as I was watching the program, it was sold and he put it aside.
Now it takes three weeks of business days to have an item shipped. O.K. I agreed to that. Well, it has been 7 weeks and still nothing. I HAVE CALLED THE LAST THREE FRIDAYS AND ALL THEY SAY IS WE DON'T KNOW WHY IT HASN'T SHIPPED AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY 10% to cancel ( 85.00) I said no, just send it. Well, here it is February 22 and they aren't on the live feed (net), or on the t. v. channel I watched them on. I called my credit card company and they are investigating.
Are they going under? I don't know. Also, the auctions they run aren't like any I've ever been to. They run a clock and when the clock is out of time and they haven't gotten what they want, they start the clock over again! What's that about? I will update this review when I get an answer from DSN or my credit card company.
Update: Freddy called from DSN and said: Sorry but we cannot find the RING you ordered. I only told them and e-mailed them 8 times to keep telling them it was a diamond and opal PENDANT. SO, I guess Art got his way. He said on the air they weren't selling it, "for that" But they did sell it to me. So, I paid for it. I know I got a great deal. I paid for it. It was almost two months since my card was charged. I waited for almost two months and I ended up getting nothing. Today I did get the entire amount back on my card but it doesn't make up for the time lost, the item not sent to me, so much time involved with calls and e-mails.
Resolution Update 02/26/2009:
If you read my update, you know I got my money back but this certainly was not resolved to my satisfaction. I bought the item. I paid for it. Two months later they say they can't find it. If they can't find' a three thousand dollar pendant, who is minding the store!

I'm experiencing similar problems!!!! The customer reps dispense erroneous information. DSN is quick to charge your credit card
G. Esposito on 07/08/2011:
I am totally disgusted w/ DSN. 8 weeks ago I purchased 4 sets of tanzanite earrings, 4 sets of tourmalene earrings a garnet ring and an estate piece. DSN has my money and I have 8 weeks of excuses as to why it has not been sent. 4 weeks after the order, they actually told me the earrings still had to be made,6 weeks after the estate piece purchase, they claim the hosts have not yet released it. What gives, They have $2000.00 of my money over 4 orders and all I get to do is sit on hold with customer service for 48 min, 52 min, then the next time an hour and 15 min and still no one answers. The complaints about shipping have been going on for years, maybe its time to train some monkeys on how to put things in a box.

I ordered a few items several months ago. Anyway thet deducted the money from my bank account that same day. However it took months and I kept calling DSN asking where mt order and every time they gave me a different answer and I know I talked to the same individual 99% of the time. The first time I called they said it was shipped out the next day after it was paid for. Three weeks later I called again and the guy said, "well it takes several weeks to make the item you ordered, when I know they had several of that ring available when I oredered it. Finally a few weeks later I called again and said this is all taking to long and I just want to cancel my order because I had not received and of the three items yet, all ordered that same evening. They replied that would not be possible becaue the order had already een mailed. So I waited another three weeks and still nothing came. I call again and asked to talk to the president of the company and finally they said they would cancel the order and refund my money. But to my surprise within a week I got two of the items I ordered. Inever did get the ruby ring I ordered but I was refunded finally for that item. Anyway they have now put a block on my ordering status like this was my fault. I order from other companies and alwas get my itemss within a week. Not that I would want to order from them again DSN that is, I think that they would block me from placing orders is poor business when this matter was handled unprofessional on their part and I will be letting others know about this company.

I won an auction, a beautiful aquamarine and diamond pendant, for $600. Great deal, no doubt. It never came, I waited the time period plus a few days, still didn't come. I called,was told there was a backlog in making items and it would be another few weeks. I explained that this item was already made, 'one of a kind' item as described during the auction. Then was told something so ludicrous I laughed out loud. I was told that items couldn't be shipped until all the items that had been purchased before I purchased mine had been made and shipped and they were several weeks behind making items. WHAT???????? That very night I watched the show and they were selling items that the host said would be mailed the next morning!!!!!!! I never did get the item. Then, couldn't get them to answer phone calls, etc. Finally just gave up. They are totally unethical, BUYER BEWARE!!!!!!!
honeydew on 01/18/2012:
I ordered 4 of the twist o flex gem studded bracelets the first week in November..with the few pennies I saved over a couple of months for Christmas..the money was taken out right then as I ordered them..it was only an order for 21 dollars..but I waited and waited and waited..they do not answer the phone, they do not answer emails..they are acting shamefully..Blu Sheppard how could you let this happen? Where are you guys?..D.S.N. hasn't been on my t.v. for 10 days..Maybe the Feds are on to them..how sad..they used to be so great..I know the recession and customer lack of response is fueling this action, but they are ruining their reputation...which took years to build...
Lonnie on 01/19/2012:
So How about spending over 100K for the past 4 years. I got most wow! But I had a duzy bought yellow diamond and pink diamond rings at once offerd 4000 but they said an outside company out of New York was going to charge me. That have not been able to charge credit cards for 3 months. So the New York company charged me 4800 and I called DSN Sueselly and she said she would find out what happened this was in December. I finally got a call and they said they would give me a credit so after a week I got it but I got over 800 which was too much enough said I took the money and ran. I have tried to get special gems rhodocrosite and bought them 2wice but not charges and I bought a purple scaplite ring the got the money I never got the ring. So I am out 259 bucks oh well. DSN IS NOW OUT OF BUSINESS I believe have not been on net for 2 days. So Good Luck to all And I am done with um nothing they could due to get my business back. I have rings and bracelets, etc worth over 450K from DSN so over the years they were pretty good. Sorry to see them crash and burn so hard.
Meb on 01/21/2012:
My experiences with DSN were usually pretty good, slow but good. I noticed that they were off t.v. locally but did not think too much of it. Noticed no live stream but this happened in the past too. If they are now using outside billing sources, it is not a good sign. Too bad, I got some nice stones at good prices in the past. It's a shame to watch the complaints mount.
tazsrocks on 01/23/2012:

todd christenson on 01/27/2012:
I bought a ring for $400 almost 3 months ago,I called them a number of times after the ring failed to show up and they told me that they were super busy and that they were behind on their shipping,well now I call their phone # and I get a repeated message saying that my call will be answered in the order it was received,but never get an operator.I hope that they can work things out,Blue Shepard I believe is a good man,but obviously has some problems and I hope all is going to be alright with him and the DSN family.I hope that what ever it is that is causing them problems will all work out. I can do without the ring I just hope that nothing bad has happened to anyone their,Todd Christenson.
adriano alanez on 02/01/2012:
This company is no longer able to fulfill its orders and uses your money to float the business. Their Reps asked me to dispute the charges given there was little hope of the company crediting my accounts. I don't know how they can continue with such practices. Filed with the ICI (FBI) to address.
steven carman on 04/11/2012:
I am glad to here that I am not the only person to be work over by dsn.After reading the above e-mails I fill lucky that I only bought gems,that was trial on its own.Igave up on dsn last Dec. when they offer a low cost on any gem stone in their stock.After 4 mo0nths of calls e-mails Dsn addmited they would not fill my order of 4 months.Luckly they charge to drop 16 separate orders.Like writer above BUYER BEWARE.
Scott on 07/29/2012:
I ordered gemstones a few hundred dollars worth in Dec of last year 2011 and still have not received them I call every day I now have given up they are not in business anymore they shut the doors.
Anna on 09/13/2012:
So it's official they have gone out of business?
Such a shame, I had a good run with them got some great pieces, had some issues like everyone else. It's always a shame to see a company go under and the staff jump ship.
It would be nice if Art at least gave some sort of a speech as to what happened to the business, they seemed to be doing so well. WHAT HAPPENED.

Those scrum bags owe me over $2300' the exact same people are now operating under the name America's jewelry network on dish channel 221. I won a judgment in court and a lien from the Secretary of state in ca. The court does not enforce the judgment so of course they ignored everything.

Order With Caution And Start With Lower End Items To Make Sure You Get Them!
Posted by
ILLINOIS -- I first shopped with DSN in 06 -07 and bought a few things that for the price were nice and I had no real complaints when received. One of their loose gemstone shows for Columbian emeralds (I am a gemstone collector) I had a hard time making up my mind between 3 stones, so the sales operator said "order all 3, you can return whatever you don't want as long as its not a final sale". So that is what I did. Their shipping takes forever just as everyone complains, but they charge you immediately! Stones finally arrived, all 3 were nice and I checked them for clarity and genuine natural vs. lab created and then took to a jeweler friend who checked for me and reported they were natural and untreated except for oiling. Kept the one I liked and sent the other 2 back within a week vs. 30 days, Fedex 2nd day insured.
Took a month of phone calls and a lot of threats to get my refund but finally it showed up on my credit card. Months later when I wanted to order a pair of earrings they told me my account was blocked for too many returns. I was furious and told the operator that of 10 items I had bought to date I only returned 2 because I could. They told me to complain to customer service.
Calling their main business number or customer service is a joke.. rarely do they ever even pick up and answer. I gave up after a dozen tries over a few months.
2 months ago they had a yellow Mosambique Cuprian, supposedly copper bearing in a nice setting at a good price for the size, clarity and the setting so I ordered 1 in white gold and 1 in yellow gold. I called in as a new client and used my same name but gave them my business phone number and they set me up as a new client no questions asked. My intent was to keep intact the one I liked the best and remove the stone for my loose stone collection and use the setting for another stone. The sale also included the gemology report noting they were copper bearing and Paraiba Africana.. Never got the certificates and have never been able to get through to customer service after dozens of tries. I've tested the stones and they are tourmalines and they are yellow, nice cut and clarity but there is no way outside of expensive testing to prove they are copper bearing. So if I sell I can only advertise them as Mosambique Tourmalines/Yellow.
During their reduced price sale I ordered a number of other items. The Mogok (Burma) Ruby earrings are very nice and the diamonds are not VVS - VS, they S1, but they are nice color and eye clean, they are well made with screw backs but again I was supposed to get a certificate of origin due to the rarity and blockade now of Burma rubies and nothing came with the earrings other than the NON Refundable sales receipt, and of course no one ever answers any of their phone lines. Other items arrived and were basically what I expected but what annoys me is that they charge immediately and it does not come in 7 to 14 days as they state it took all my times a month and a half or MORE to arrive.
People complain that things arrive much smaller than they are on TV... all the shows that sell jewelry and gemstones do this.. you have to remember the cameras they are using give a very false idea of what something is, that is why I tell the person taking my order to ask the show host to "put it on".. that will give you a good idea of size.
One of the first items I bought back in 06 was a multicolor sapphire bracelet. I have no complaints other than they cold have made sure all the blues and pinks and other colors all matched each other better, I had my jeweler take out the links with the pale stones. 2nd time I wore the bracelet it broke at the link connection between stones. Call and send back for free repairs.. WHEN PIGS FLY.. these people NEVER answer their phones except the order lines when they are on the air.. I took to my jeweler who fixed it and checked the rest of it and fixed where needed for $25 !
Lastly when I ordered a number of items in the same week this time around, when I called and finally got someone to check on where all my orders were I discovered one item they showed as cancelled. I argued with them that it was not cancelled but it do no good they were sold out. I told them to credit my account, the person that was checking my account said I was never charged, I told him I had my CC statement in front of me and they HAD charged me. Took 4 more phone calls during show time where I demanded they look into it or I would sue them.. 6 weeks later they finally credited me back for the order they cancelled on me, claimed never existed but still charged me for the night I ordered.
It will be a long time before I consider dealing with this company again after reading all the complaints and my experience with them.

Working on others money
Posted by
-- I have made over $100,000 in purchases from DSN during the past 4 years, but I seriously doubt if I will ever watch the show or make another purchase from them again.
I realize that they have no sense of loyalty to their customers. It has always bothered me that there is such a long waiting period to receive an order, even though the cost for whatever I purchased immediately charged to my credit card account. Another thing that bothered me was that whenever it was necessary to return an item, it always took about 30 to 45 days for DSN to issue credit to my charge account after they received the item back. (Whenever it was necessary to return something, I always sent it via insured USPS and signature required.)
About 4 months ago, I won a bid on a paraiba ring and it was in fact a very good deal for me..... a little over $2,300.00 for a 4 ct plus approx 1 ct VS diamonds set in 18 Kt gold.
After approximately a month and I still had not received the ring. By the way, when I won the auction, I asked about the size and it was my correct size, so nothing needed to be done to the ring before it was shipped to me. I phoned DSN customer service and was told that they didn't know why the ring had not been shipped to me, but would check into it and call me back. When I didn't hear back from DSN customer service within 24 hours, I called my credit card company and asked them to help me get DSN to ship the ring or issue a credit to the credit card. I didn't want a credit to my credit card, I wanted the ring. After 2 days I still had not heard from DSN and so I called them again and was told that they had issued a credit to my credit card and management had decided they would not sell the ring to me. I told them I simply wanted them to ship the ring, but they refused.
I believe they operate on their customers' money and that's why it takes so long for them to ship orders or issue credit when an item is returned.
People please beware. You may get what you ordered or you may get one of many similar items and be advised that many of the duplicate items are inferior.
Also it's very insulting to listen to so much hype by the show host. Just listen carefully to the things that are said. If all that "she" says is true, the company could not stay in business and most of the employees should be fired for incompetence! So many prices are wrong and so many mistakes are made, i.e., the diamonds aren't figured into the cost, no cost for the center stone has been figured into the cost of the jewelry, etc.
These things simply cannot be true and it truly is insulting to the public's intelligence to listen to this hype! That's another reason why I have decided to use my remote and have stopped watching the show!
If you do purchase from DSN, Buyer Beware! You may get what you see on the TV screen or you may not and you'll may end up keeping an inferior gemstone or pay the cost for DSN shipping the item to you and whatever it costs you for insurance and shipping the item back to DSN. In the meantime, your credit card has posted the charge on your account for a lengthy period of time. I really miss Rex and Jeremy and having Art and Blue as a hosts on a regular basis.
In general, the old format for the show was more realistic than what it has been for the past couple of years. Now there is so much hype and it's nauseating to see the Hostess glancing at herself in the monitors so often! UGH!

I wish I had the means to spend over $100,000 in 4 years from a TV shopping channel. Frankly I'd be spending my money elsewhere.

Can't get out to a real, live store to spend your 'big' bucks? If I can't see an item I'm thinking of buying up close and personal, I want no part of it.
dezeez on 12/11/2008:
For the $$ you spent on that Paraiba, there are a ton of reputable dealers on eBay that deal in them and you can get a great certified stone for a few hundred dollars. There are plenty of small independent jewelers that do design and manufacturing that could cast the gold for you into a ring and put in nice diamonds with your stone for a LOT LESS than what you paid and the hassel you went through. I bought from one of the dealers on eBay I've worked with for a few years a great block D old mine round cut tanzanite 2Ct, deep blue violet stone and then found a manufacturing jeweler going out of business and selling off the last of his loose gems and picked up 2 brilliant green Russian demantoid garnets. I wanted to make a 3 stone ring that DSN had shown once, a one of a kind they charged over $5000.00 for in 18K gold setting with no diamonds. My jeweler friend made the ring from me copying a 3 stone ring I had in an entruscan design style.. Tanzi in the center and the demantoids on either side plus he put in 2 bagettes on the bottom of the demantoid to balance off the ring for looks and wearing. Finished with the wax cast for the gold work, the gold setting, diamonds and the stones I purchased it cost me about 980.00 and I have top notch stones, VS diamonds and 18K heavy gold setting and something really pretty and unique and a true one of a kind. You want nice jewelry I have plenty I am putting up on eBay after the new year as I downsize so we can retire in a year or two.
dezeez on 12/11/2008:
I forgot to add, the gem dealer I got my tanzanite from, one of his biggest clients is DSN, they got about 85% of their copper bearing Africana Paraiba's from him. I told him about one ring with huge blue/green stone that dippy blonde was showing one night and he emailed me a photo and I said 'that's the one".. he emailed me a bunch of photos of almost identical stones in color, size and clarity he had in his safe.. my cost on a 7.8 carat 299.99 and he paid the FedEx shipping to me. Because most of their viewers buying are not into gem collecting and design they have no clue of the costs and you can get a good deal with them if you pay close attention but their so called retail prices are strictly "Beverly HIlls", not the rest of the real world.. to make things sound like a great bargain and impressive. I have found my general rule works with them, they will come down 40 - 70% on most items with the outrageous prices. 60-70% or more and I will consider otherwise not. Gems and jewelry markup starts at 100% and goes up as high as the market will bear.

My experience with DSN
Posted by
B, NEW YORK -- I've had similar experiences with DSN as many that have written here. Fast to take your money, slow to credit your account. Customer service (if you want to call it that) is absolutely unreal, rude, inefficient, inept, lacking in communication skills, curt, and the list goes on and on.
If you have ever had to deal with them, you would realize what I am saying here. I think one girl answers all of the calls during a "BRIEF" time slot.
When I first started watching the show, I thought their things looked really good. I ordered a whole bunch of items. It was around the holidays a couple of years ago. I was buying jewelry for myself and as gifts for the family. I ordered rings, loose gems, etc. Some were final auctions.
Marlena has a final auction for a sapphire ring with diamonds. It looked really high quality on the TV. When I received the ring, it looked nothing like what was represented on the TV auction. The sapphire was inferior. The quality of the ring was horrid to the point of being uncomfortable to even have on your finger..
I DID NOT receive the ring from the auction. What I received was grossly misreprented. I know they said there were no returns on final auctions, but I returned it anyway. I am not going to spend money on something that did NOT look like was in the auction. They did return me my money...
I kept some things that I bought, but on the whole, returned most of it.
They say there is a money back guarantee so they have to abide by that.
Well some time went by.. I turned on the show again. I called in to purchase something I saw. I gave the guy on the phone my customer number
and he told me flat out that I cannot buy anything from them anymore..
How do you like that??
They say there is a money back guarantee, and when you return something..
they penalize you..and won't let you purchase any longer? INteresting..!
It's just as well..
They saved me some money!
I did like the junior gem collector shows that Art ran.
I bought some diamonds for a great price in one of those shows..
I really like the looks of the estate jewelry too.
I was unable to purchase anything though..cause they have banned my account for returning items..
Nice public relations eh? haha.
You certainly can get an education about gems watching the show.
I think Lauren talks too much though..geez.. she goes on and on.....
what is that about?
Jack and Peter have a great estate jewelry show.
Anyhow..I have to say that I got all of my money returned by them.
It took time..and I was very very detailed and careful about the paperwork and watching my statements..
Have fun..

I placed and PAID for many orders which I never received
Posted by
GLENDALE, CALIFORNIA -- On May 10, 2011 I called DSN (Direct Shopping Network)I asked them about a certain 14k yellow gold ring with a 7x5 tourmaline ring. It was a very beautiful ring especially for the money. I decided to order it, but during the conversation with the young kids that they hire(I got the idea something was up with this ring) It was just to good of a deal for the money so I cancelled the order. On August 27th 2011 I receive a package from DSN-I wondered what that was seeing as how I had just placed my last order about a week before that. And low and behold here is this ring that I had decided NOT to order on May 10, 2011. The following day I returned it and have never ever received my money, any acknowledgement that they received it although I did put a delivery notice on it so I know they got it back. Meanwhile In July 2011 and August 2011 I ordered come things which I have NEVER seen, In Aug 2011 I ordered a 14k yellow gold ring with a 2 carat pink tourmaline gemstone set in it. It was about $350.00(or within 15-20 bucks of that price)I also ordered two sets of diamonds which I have never seen or been refunded and the lists just goes on and on.
I did business with this company for probably 7-8 years before this and never had any problems except that they were always very SLOW with their shipping. I think what surprises me the most is that "Blue Shepard" I still believe is a honest man and I find it rather hard to believe that he is aware of all of the dozens of people that have been ripped of and does nothing about it. I also ordered 8 rubies one time that were supposed to be at least 1 carat each and come with paperwork stating that they were genuine and examined by a GG(graduate gemologist)I Received 8 small tiny 6x4 rubies. Shame on them for ripping people off. I actually have heard when waiting for info from a phone attendant when I was NOT on hold but the phone was just sat down, I heard some very disturbing and to call it unprofessional would be a massive understatement statements in reference to "comments made about so and so to each other while I was waiting".
Calling them names and such that should never have been said at all. But neither Art or anyone else has even tried to do anything to refund my money or fill my orders, I sent e-mails explaining each and every order, I sent letters, I contacted the Los Angeles District Court and still no one answers me. They really had a good thing going when they started out, they really did but it was all down hill from about 2010. All I want is what I paid for or my MONEY.
Thank you. Katherine85

Deceptive Practices
Posted by
Master jeweler
GLENDALE, CALIFORNIA -- I have been in the diamond business for 30 years. I have had the honor of doing business with site holders and Diamond Dealers in the N.Y. Diamond Dealers club. That is a privilege that means your word is your bond. If not you will not do any more business [black balled]. I bought 20 items from $49.00 to $3600.00. I kept 3 items and the others where so far from what they showed I could not believe it. I called the attorney general office here in Ga. and Cal to find out I would have to go to civil court. I called, and called, and called.
After 6 months I got refunded, but lost $400.00 dollars in mail and insurance. Beware they show the best and send something else. Diamond weights and quality where not as stated. And colored stone as well workmanship in gold rings was unacceptable.

Poor quality and customer service
Posted by
I've had 2 bad experiences with DSN. After watching them for a few months, I figured I'd give them a try one night. They were selling what they were calling Block D 1ct tanzanite earrings for $149. I know that Block D doesn't necessarily mean AAA or better, regardless of what the blonde "Elvira" host was saying. The sample they showed was beautiful so I thought I'd try it and ordered 2 pairs. My credit card was charged immediately, but I received no confirmation email. After 2 weeks, I tried calling them every day for 2 weeks. All I'd ever get was a recording saying please hold. Some days I held on for an hour and would either hang up or get cut off. I finally called at 10PM EST one night, which is when they go on the air, and spoke to one of the operators who said I had to call back during "normal" hours. After fighting with him for 5 minutes, he agreed to help me and told me my order would be shipping that week. I finally received my earrings almost 6 weeks after placing the order. The tanazanite was horrendous. 1 pair was that very light violet color that you can get in places like Walmart. The other pair was a darker blue, but was so included and had bubbles in it. I sent them back and it took another 5 weeks for them to issue me a credit.
A few months later I ordered a "Block D" tanzanite ring from them. Same experience: long wait time, horrible quality stone, long time to receive a refund.
Last night, the "Elvira" host spent 20 minutes spinning this long tale of how they got an exclusive lot of Block D "+" tanzanite that were all cut into 6mm rounds, so they made rings. Even on TV, you can tell the stones were not high quality, but her excellent sales pitch ensured they all flew out the door. I feel so bad for the people who purchased them. I'm sure when they finally receive their rings in 6 weeks, the tanzanite will be poor to mediocre, and then they will have to endure another 5 weeks of fighting with DSN to get their refunds. I will never order from DSN again. It's too stressful and in the end, you can get better quality pieces for less $$ elsewhere.

A Bad Shopping Experience
Posted by
I wish I had read reviews on Direct Shopping Network (DSN) before I called to order a ring they offered one evening.(DirecTV channel 224)
I really should have known better!
The first call, the phone rep (sounding breathlessly busy)asked for my customer number. I said "I don't have a customer number."
She said "Then you have to hold." Put me on hold, then came back on the line and said "What size do you need?" I said "They show on TV it only comes in size 7."
She said again "You have to hold."
I held for about a minute then was disconnected. I called back, got a different rep, placed my order and was told my ring would be received in 15 days. I asked for e-mail confirmation of my order, which the rep readily agreed to do.
Three days later,when I had rec'd no confirming e-mail, I emailed the cust service address to request such. No reply. Remailed twice more over the next 4 days. No reply. Called the order telephone number & was told that they are not able to send email at all & that they have "nothing to do with the DSN website except we are the same company."
Since it had now been over a week since I ordered, I asked if my ring had shipped yet. The phone rep now says it takes 15-20 days to receive my order.
OK.......so I wait. Twenty days later, no ring....I call back. No, the ring hasn't shipped yet & now it will take 15-20 BUSINESS days plus USPS delivery time.
So I waited another 4 days & called back. This time (halellujah) they tell me the ring has shipped & gave me a USPS tracking number. I went to USPS online tracking & found that my ring was delivered somewhere in North Carolina! (I live in Washington State). So, I call back.....after being on hold for 10 minutes, a different operator tells me "so sorry-our error" & that a replacement ring will be sent out the next day.
I waited 2 days, then called to get the "new" tracking number. According to this operator, no new ring had been shipped, & that any order will take 15-20 days to fill. By this point I was totally DONE with these people & stated that I wanted to cancel the order & credit my charge card. I explained all that had happened waiting for this order & he said he would have to put me on hold for a moment. He then came back on the line & said that there was no way that my credit card could be refunded until DSN "retrieved" the ring they admittedly shipped to the wrong address in N. Carolina!!
Feeling as if I may be visiting the "Twilight Zone", I politely said " Very well-thank you-I will have my credit card company deal with this. Have a nice day."
I did call my credit card company, had the charges removed & have really learned my lesson. I'll NEVER deal with this company again & consider myself very lucky. I'm sure DSN has a lot of dissatisfied customers we will be reading about.

They shipped to the wrong address which is their problem. Dispute the charge with your credit card company. Refuse any future packages. It might be a good idea to stop buying from them.
Good luck.
Stellac on 10/13/2007:
I called my credit card co the very same day as my last conversation with DSN "customer service". They filed my dispute & took the charges off my account within an hour. (I checked online) Needless to say, this will be my 1st & last purchase from DSN. Thanks for your advice & good luck to you, too! (You didn't happen to receive my ring, did you?? ha-ha)
Anonymous on 10/13/2007:
No, didn't receive your ring. And besides, I'm not a size 7 !
Glad you got your charges reversed.
Stay away from them.

Beware Of This Company
Posted by
I ordered via phone an opal pendant on 07/04/11 in the amount of $131.95.
After several weeks of waiting, I called customer service to ask where the item might be. Was told it was in the shipping dept. And they would request that immediate shipment be made. I have never received the item.
On 08/15/11 I requested that the order be cancelled and full refund be made. I have spent hrs. Holding on the phone for customer service and sent many, many emails to them which they have never answered.
As of 09/25/11, I still have no refund.
Beware of this company.

Frustrated Customer
Posted by
GLENDALE, CALIFORNIA -- I am now joining the "DSN FRUSTRATED & FEED UP CUSTOMER BANDWAGON".
Their MODUS OPERANDI of doing business are the following:
They are quick in crediting your credit card with the purchase.
Their Gemological Report Certiticate is not credible. My order of diamond pendant was described erroneously on the certificate.
Even though it was their fault that caused the blunder, they still take their sweet time to process a refund and there was never an apology for the oversight.
My third order of peridot earrings and cross pendant took two and half months to process. The items were not limited quantity items and there was no need for special sizing. So, I finally got feed up and requested a cancellation.
Lo and behold, they managed to expedite the order when a cancellation was in effect.
I was even threaten by the Cust Rep Supv that she will block my account for any future order. THE NERVE OF HER! She got the nerve to threaten me of such!!!!!
With a company doing business this horrendous way, I would NOT want to be a returning customer EVER.

Are you allowed to use it in Little League?
The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo OVERLORD Youth Baseball Bat (DXVDL) is approved for Little League.
My almost 8yr old son uses the Combat Reloaded 27in 15oz and hits well with it. He is on smaller side for kid pitch about 4ft-1 and 60 pounds but has a quick powerful swing and hits the ball hard. How would the swing feel on this in 28in size compared to the 27in Combat he now has?
The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo OVERLORD Youth Baseball Bat (DXVDL) will feature a slightly end-loaded swing and will feel a little heavier since you are jumping up in weight. The Combat Reloaded, which will feature a more balanced swing weight and a lighter weight in the 27" bat.
My son is 47 inches tall and 53 pounds. Do you think the 28 inch would be to long or just right for height and weight? I was also looking at the 2014 Combat youth portent. How do these bats compare to each other.
A 28 inch bat could work well for a player of that size. It is in the upper end of the range we would suggest but still should fit well and allow some opportunity to grow into it a little bit as well. Comparing the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo OVERLORD Youth Baseball Bat (DXVDL) and the 2014 COMBAT Portent Youth Baseball Bat (PORYB112) is difficult because they are two totally different styles. The Voodoo OVERLORD is a hybrid design with two pieces: a composite handle and an alloy barrel. The Portent is a singe-piece composite bat. Both are high performing and review well.
Product Description
There's one thing that makes our scientists great – they don't care about the laws of science. The 2014 Voodoo OVERLORD was designed for unfathomable, explosive power. Our new breakthrough 2 piece D-Fusion handle allows us to crank up the performance of the barrel while improving feel. Our Carbon Reinforced Paradox Composite Handle is stiffer for ultimate energy transfer between barrel and ball. While our patented ThermoFused Taper enhances an already explosive X10 Alloy barrel by containing energy in the barrel where it belongs - Propelling the ball on impact and reducing vibration to hands. More explosive and powerful than ever, the night before games, the OVERLORD is what will keep opponents up. Better feel, stiffer construction, more power - that's the Voodoo OVERLORD!

New Orleans Style Red Beans
Down in New Orleans, Monday is known for red beans, rice and laundry, though you can also do like me and make them on Saturday, while you catch up on Battlestar Galactica season 2. Either way, they're tasty, cheap and very good for you, and people REALLY do make them on Mondays, I would never joke about something so sacred.
Beans are cooked in a unique way here, we like 'em cooked down very soft with a nice thick sauce, which we call gravy. In order to achieve the right textrue, you'll need to cook them for a long time on the stove or crockpot*, a pressure cooker is just not gonna work to get these to right consistency. Also, try to find smaller light red kidneys if you can, and keep your eyes peeled for Camelia brand. That's what we all cook here, since they're packed locally and make very creamy beans. Serve red beans over your favorite rice with lots of hot sauce or pepper vinegar on top, or as a side with greens, rosemary oven potatoes and spicy seitan sausage.
Red Beans
Makes 6-8 servings
* 1 pound small, light red kidney beans
* 10 cups water
* 2 1/2 cups finely chopped onion
* 1 rib celery, minced
* 1 large jalapeno pepper, minced (to minimize spicy heat, seed and de-rib)
* 1 teaspoon chipotle powder
* 1/4 cup chopped parsley
* 1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke (optional)
* 2 teaspoons smoked salt, plus more to taste
1. Wash and clean the beans and pick out any debris. Soak overnight in your fridge in lots of clean, cold water to cover the beans by about 4".
2. Drain the beans. In a large pot over high heat, bring the water up to a boil. Add the beans and reduce heat to simmer, while you prep the vegetables.
3. Throw all of the other ingredients into the pot, except the salt, and continue to simmer over medium-low heat for 3-5 hours. If the water reduces too quickly, add in a 1-2 extra cups of boiling water, as necessary to prevent the beans from scorching (don't add too much water, because it will prevent the beans from developing a thick gravy).
4. Once the beans are quite soft, use a spoon to smash a few of them against the inside of the pot to help thicken the gravy.
5. Add the salt, and season to taste with more, if necessary.
*When I make these in a crockpot, I set them up before bed and let them cook overnight and then part of the following afternoon.

I'm making these in the crockpot right now. I started them last night (so they'd be ready for Monday dinner!) and it seems like a lot of water. Is ten cups too much in the crockpot?ReplyDelete
hi anonymous,ReplyDelete
i'm not sure how big your crockpot is, but i usually cover the beans by about three to four inches in the crockpot. you can always take some water out and add boiling water in later if you need more...

Thanks for the red beans recipe. Last summer, I ate them at a party and has been looking for an authentic recipe ever since. Now I will be able to make them myself. Thanks again.ReplyDelete

But yourbreastfeeding diet is extra important because it helps boost your energy, giving you the stamina you need in your new role as a mom.
