100% Delivered for the 10th Year Running
An interesting set of issues and conditions were thrown at us this year although the dominating problem was not the snow it was the media. They were right to report the weather conditions but highly irresponsible in suggesting that the position was hopeless and that customers should demand money back from online retailers assuming that they could not deliver.. At 10 inches we had more than our fair share of the fluffy stuff and we are in the rural Cotswolds which presented special challenges & complications. We had to think on our feet and set contingency in place. Our potential problems were avoided simply by renting a small fleet of Landrovers, before the snow arrived, to battle the weather conditions and ensure staff got into work and got in safely. Thank you to clients old and new for their faith in us to deliver at this important time of year.
BIG PUSH
Extra ordinary efforts by the DiamondGeezer team, which included staying overnight on occasions, ensured that all orders left on time and no orders were cancelled in spite of the media doom and gloom. Life got even more complicated when our local village post office could not get post collected, so we jumped in the 4×4′s and drove our post 35 miles to a large sorting office in a relatively snow free zone each night to ensure that parcels were shipped.
P.O. GET THEIR ACT TOGETHER
We are also delighted to report that the Post Office addressed (no pun intended) their problems with the snow and put a £20 million fund to meet the extra demands of the weather which ensured that premium services were delivered on time.
THE LAST 10 DAYS
So in the last 10 days we have designed, manufactured (from the ground up) and delivered 148 bespoke pieces of fine diamond jewellery, plus manufactured and delivered a similar quantity from our established product range. We’ve flown specific and special diamonds and gemstones half way around the world to meet delivery dates. We have also delivered nearly 100 MAX XL watches. During those 10 days each customer got regular and frequent updates by email & phone.
CONVERSELY
10 days ago I ordered two gifts for my wife, one from Comet and one from Apple in both cases I paid for an expedited delivery, both companies guaranteed delivery by the 20th. December. Not a word from either, until today, Christmas Eve, when I chased them and was advised to expect delivery of both on the 4th of January. They must both be using the same ineffective courier. Both failed to meet their obligations especially when we know that with a little imagination, planning and a lot of application it is possible to take control.
A customer is for life NOT just for Christmas.

A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS

Pop singer Katy Perry has been seen sporting a diamond bracelet at a Grammy Awards event, complementing her metallic outfit.
Katy Perry has been seen at a red carpet event wearing a diamond bracelet as part of her golden look for the evening.
The pop singer's shimmering outfit for the 2010 Grammy Award Nominations Concert Live at Club Nokia earlier this week included the precious stone-decorated jewel that also featured different types of quartz, as well as a pair of killer pumps and make-up to match her metallic cocktail dress with black beading.
She later changed into a silver outfit for her performance of California Gurls.
Perry, who recently married British comedian Russell Brand at an exotic Indian wedding ceremony, is currently promoting her first fragrance, Purr.
Actress Lindsay Lohan was recently snapped on a day out of rehab shopping with friends for diamond jewellery.
The Mean Girls and Parent Trap star was seen trying on bracelets and a ring before being photographed at a coffee shop with friends.
She was admitted to the Betty Ford Centre in Palm Springs in October this year after she failed a drug test.

American comedienne Joan Rivers was in attendance at a diamond event at Chatsworth House.
Joan Rivers made an appearance at a diamond jewellery event in Derbyshire last weekend.
According to Professional Jeweller, the American television personality was seen taking part in Find a Diamond, a game that challenges people to find a gemstone in a vat of rings.
The Chatsworth House CW Sellors' Christmas Wishes jewellery and watches display raised money for British charities including the NSPCC and the Air Ambulance.
Rivers was quoted as saying that the day was "fabulous".
Also in attendance was the Dowager Duchess of Devonshire, who was awarded a bejewelled bumble bee to honour her 90th birthday.
Another high-profile jewellery event next week will see rare pink diamond ring go under the hammer at a Sotheby's auction in a luxury Swiss hotel.
The item is estimated to be worth £17 million and is set to become the most valuable jewel ever to be bid upon.
It was first sold by famous American jeweller Harry Winston some 60 years ago.

The US government has taken ownership of a diamond worth $20 million after a money laundering operation.
US government officials have taken possession of a $20 million (£12.5 million) diamond following a fraud investigation.
The 43-carat Golden Eye stone- which could be used in diamond jewellery such as diamond earrings or diamond necklaces – was originally seized in an undercover operation in 2006.
It previously belonged to Paul Monea, who made his wealth by selling Tae Bo fitness tapes and has been convicted of money laundering.
A Cincinnati federal appeals court ruled on Monday (November 8th) that the government should take ownership of the gem.
Officials have said they plan to put the item up for auction and will use the money raised to fund the law enforcement organisations that have been involved in the operation.
An auction is also to be held at London's Palace of Whitehall, where a 119-carat diamond pendant in the shape of the Indian god Ganapati is expected to fetch upwards of £50,000, according to Diamond World.
