We are a property developer who made a substantial purchase of marble sculptures from Fines Gallery, some of which were custom designs. We requested (in writing) and paid Fines Gallery for comprehensive transport insurance of all items. Some of the larger and most expensive "custom" pieces were damaged during transport due to inappropriate packaging and low quality crating. It turned out that consignment was uninsured.
Custom work was not according to design requested. Instead only a very small part of each statue was customised and the rest of each item was a very obvious copy of a very well known piece by a major artist. The statues had to be repaired and then further sawed and mounted into 3 separate sections in order to break up the 3 styles of workmanship (classical, renaissance, modern) and make it usable.
Finish on each item was inconsistent and our local marble experts were unable to render the items to a similar enough finish to be used in the same rooms as needed.
Fines Gallery and their Chinese supplier refused to take responsibility, replace damaged items or provide a partial refund to cover the cost of the damaged item. We never requested restitution for cost of repairs and to attempt to alter the different finishes. Total loss to our business $34, 000

OUR LEGAL TEAM IS PRESENTLY ASSEMBLING THE LEGAL CASE AGAINST ALL PARTIES INVOLVED TO PREVENT ANY OTHER SLANDEROUS STATEMENTS. WE WILL PROSECUTE TO THE FULL EXTENT OF THE LAW AND DEMAND FULL COMPENSATION FOR ANY DAMAGE THAT THIS FICTITIOUS CLAIMS DO AGAINST OUR BUSINESS.
This claim against Fine's Gallery is fictitious and has no basis. The whole intent of this claim is for the defamation of our company name as a World Leader as a custom stone designer.

Fine’s Gallery has 1000’s of satisfied customers throughout the world, and we will present any new customer with a list of references that will give their approval of the quality of our product and the service that they have received.
We take all slanderous statements serious and Fine's Gallery will always take the necessary legal action(s) against anyone that makes false statements against us.
ATTENTION: THE SAME DAY THIS FALSE STATEMENT WAS POSTED ON RIPOFF REPORT WE RECEIVED AN EMAIL FROM A COMPANY (PERSON) STATING THEY COULD REMOVE IT FROM RIPOFF.COM, THIS CLAIM HAS ONLY BEEN POSTED TO EXTORT MONEY FROM A REPUTABLE COMPANY.
