1. GET A NEW SHIPPER. I’m going to be Very Naughty and name a competitor: JTV, that is JEWELRY TELEVISION, is FAR SUPERIOR to you with their shipping tracking and timeliness. They use USPS and CONSISTENTLY deliver by three business days. SHOPLC’s **CHOICE**of using DHL in combo with USPS is endlessl...

I’ve noticed the selection of loose gemstones has gotten smaller over the last couple of weeks. I’ve also noticed that a lot of loose gemstones are not listed when I search only that category from the drop-down menu. Here’s an example: https://www.shoplc.com/auction.action/london-blue-topaz-1-50-ctw...

This is a continuation of my prior text on Melissa. If you want to see something unbelievable check out auction site and see what she is doing! She will create bidding wars where no matter how high you place a bid she will top it just so she is the winner of the auction. She will not stop even bidd...

Occasionally a translucent, pale yellow loose gemstone labeled “melanite” appears in the auctions. I think it’s actually “meionite,” a variety of scapolite. Melanite is opaque black andradite. I could be wrong, of course, about its being meionite, but it’s definitely not melanite. Might want to chec...

Then I’m going to call blue corundum a blue ruby.

(get it? Why do the hosts call rubies red sapphires?)

To be fair, I was mistaken that the shipping is 3-5 business days. It’s 5-7.

But that still means my order is outside the time frame.

Is a lie. Given the max of 5 business days, items I ordered on July 14 should have been delivered on July 21. And who knows where they are thanks to the worthless tracking system. I’ve NEVER received any shipment in 3 days and it’s VERY rare to get it in 5 days. I run my own business and I do everyt...
