Diamonds International / TD retail Tanzanite International "Shady" at best "Dishonest" Juneau Alaska

Bought my wife some jewlery and I am ok with what we bought and the purchase price.  My main complaint is that when they told me that they were "arranging for credit" for the balance of our purchase I figured they arranged for a loan much like when a car is purchased (by the way they will not accept a check). 

What they were really doing was getting me a credit card which I did not want through TD retail.  When I found this out I paid the entire balance and closed the account immediately which probably effected my credit score in a negative way.  I received a letter from them stating that balance was 0.00 and account was closed this letter was not signed other than customer service department.  This is ok I guess but I like to have my communications signed and think that it speaks to the charecter of the company if no one wants to put their name to what they are representing.

I also believe that the cruise lines seem to be in kahoots with these charletans since they "steer" you to them through their shopping host or experts or what have you by telling you that these are the reputable guys and you have to be careful.

In short cruise and enjoy it but don't listen to any of the "shopping" host (the shopping host gets a percentage).  Pay for your purchases in cash and be aware if your purchase is over the limit on your card because they will issue you another credit card which you do not want. They will not be up front and tell you this is what they are doing. 

Another Victim
