Costco, your one stop shop for wedding rings!!!
 

I guess Costco is the new to-go to place for a nice ring. Plus you can return the ring within 90 days. right? :lol What's better than buying a ring while you grocery shop!

On your Centurion Card, obviously.

do it the way mainlanders do it...100k in cash!

So someone who has a Black card would go to costco to buy a Ring? :fuckthatshit:

cash debit visa

Costco doesn't accept VISA and would you really spend 100K on a Ring at Costco?

you have never been to costco? the only credit card they take is AMEX




Man, i hope they have like a triple lifetime warranty or something for $100k+

Actually thats a really good price for a VS2 H 4.10Ct + .85ct. Even if you just take the diamond and build a new band, at least 20k savings from a retailer.

^ damn do i ever wonder why your user is "geeknerd"

they have good prices on normal rings too. i wanted to buy an engagement ring for my fiance from there but i told her it was from costco and she refused. i had to end up buying a ring with much less specs from birks (i.e. overpaid by 20%) *sigh*

i should have just got it and said it was from somewhere else but i had to ensure she would like it. damn women :mad:

No offense, but what a superficial bitch. You still wanted to marry her after that? You should've kicked her ass to the curb and spent the money on booze and strippers.

Does she need to know where the ring comes from? I couldnt stand being with someone that's so superfical.

Just because people have a lot of money doesn't mean they'll pay full retail price for everything or they do not like searching for deals etc.

My uncle is a millionaire and he's the probably the best deal hunter in our whole family. He rarely buys anything at regular price

thats why hes a millionaire

A fellow RSer in the US bought a house at Costco

Say that name fast 10x.

you know what they say right, the richest people are the cheapest people, thats why they're rich

AFAIK only electronics have a 90 day return restriction. For everything else they only suggest it be returned within 30 days. I'm returning a year old rug that I never really used today, so we'll see what happens.

Also, GLOW, why would you even tell your GF where you were going to buy her ring when it doesn't even matter....? It's just a rock, platinum and/or gold. The only time it should matter is if were a blood diamond, stolen or if you believe in bad karma, from a broken engagement. The only reason I wouldn't buy one from there is cause they don't offer any in the style I want to get her, so I have to go custom through a wholesaler. TBH I'd rather save the money spent on a ring and wedding and put it straight towards a house for us.

oh it's my fault for making it sound worse than it was. she's actually not superficial at all, she doesn't even know what clothing is considered name brand.

but like myself we both knew nothing about rings and even i was skeptical about buying a ring from costco...but i looked at the specs and figured costco is a large chain and wouldn't be offering a crap product.

we didn't know where to buy a ring but both knew birks was a store that was reputable and well known. i realized that b/c it was well known a premium would have to be paid.

it was my own fault i guess b/c when we went ring shopping i took her there to look and try on rings and she found "the one" :okay:

all in all i told her my budget and if she wanted to use that $ towards a smaller birks ring over a costco ring i said fine, but i still think the costco ring would have been $ better spent comparing specs. the only downside is that b/c it was listed online she couldnt try it on. i think that was a major factor for her where at birks she can walk in and try a ring on.

@ murdoc: she needed to know that the ring was of good quality and money well spent. our lack of knowledge on rings meant it was safer to go with birks after she tried it on. but looking back and having gone through it all i think it could have gone differently. we're both happy with the ring she got, but i would be more happy paying like 20% less on the same ring.

i've heard worse horror stories from friends regarding rings and working with jewelers directly and stuff so i consider myself lucky not having to go through too much drama and just having to pay a little extra.

i think of it like my first car that i bought from a shady kingsway dealer. it's a learning experience and if i had to go through it again i would know how not to make the same mistakes i made when i was younger.

You should've consulted RS first. We would have set you straight. lol

it never entered my mind lol.

not sure how many people on here would have had experience buying a ring as it's mostly a younger crowd.

plus i know a girl views a ring differently than a guy. guys tend to just look at specifications. it's more special to a girl.

i made up for it by being very practical with the wedding. i picked my battles :)

we budgeted the costs of the ring, wedding, and home accordingly as it was all done relatively in the same timeframe so we still got our house. it mattered where i got the ring b/c i had to show her the ring first. i'm not the type to surprise someone and i wanted her to choose her ring, meaning she had to look at it and like it before i go buy it, so she knew that ring was at costco when i showed it to her online. unfortunately, like i said, a major factor was she had to try it on and her doubts about buying online from a store.
