October 23. One customer claimed that he had bought 16,000 yuan of jewelry that had not yet been opened, but when he returned to the store to change the style, he was told that he would be charged a 35% depreciation fee. Immediately, the store cabinet sister quarreled with the customer, and the unreasonable nature of this matter quickly caused heated discussions. So how can this one-price gold jewelry be replaced so as not to lose money?
What is a flat price gold
Upfront gold jewellery is a unique design style that is classic and generally not priced by grams. Thanks to a new gold manufacturing process, it has better wear resistance, hardness and luster than traditional gold jewellery. It may be that some gold shops will be vague about their weight and purity in terms of sales, but the price of gold jewelry is basically pure enough gold.
Although the unit price of the converted gram is not low, the unique design and craftsmanship of the one-price gold jewelry distinguishes most ordinary craft gold jewelry. This makes it more attractive and makes many jewelry lovers want to stop.
Trade-in system
The trade-in of gold jewelry generally refers to gold jewelry that starts in a brand gold store, wears it for a long time, and then changes styles in the store when you feel tired. There are two kinds of expenses involved here: depreciation and processing fees. Depreciation is because branded gold stores usually have a gold premium and a premium on labor costs, because old jewelry cannot be sold directly in the store, but can only be returned to the factory for renovation or scrapped directly, and remelted into gold sheet for processing of new jewelry.
If you want to replace the new jewelry, you generally have to make up the labor cost of the new jewelry, which is also the general sales rule of gold jewelry stores.
Processing technology for gold jewelry
The process of gold jewelry from production to over-the-counter sales has many processes, such as polishing, carving and so on. The production of new gold jewellery also includes the process of inverting molds. The more novel the style, the higher the complexity of the process and the corresponding increase in processing losses. And each process needs manual production, the processing cost is high, the more complex the process, the more labor time is spent. So it's not hard to understand why new craft jewellery is so expensive.
Can't gold jewelry be returned for seven days without a reason?
Gold jewelry generally cannot be returned without reason, otherwise someone buys it with a knife to scrape a little and then return, and then scrape and return. Even if the merchant finds that the weight is wrong, it can be blamed for the courier. Or simply form an industry, a professional team buys gold, scrapes gold and returns it. It is difficult to see the difference with the naked eye, and the cost of testing is not low, so simply precious metals are not returned without reason.
In addition, according to Article 25 of the Law on the Protection of Rights and Interests of Consumers, the four categories of goods are not applicable to seven-day return without reason, and it is stated that other goods that are not suitable for return according to the nature of the goods and confirmed by consumers at the time of purchase are not applicable to return without reason.
Diamonds, gold, jewelry, etc. are special commodities, and often the words "I have confirmed" have been marked on the warranty policy when the transaction is signed, so everyone must remember that these valuables cannot be returned without reason during the warranty period.
Guokun's message:
Generally speaking, trade-in is obviously not as cost-effective as directly recycling gold jewelry and then buying it. However, if the new process gold is realized, it can only realize the value of the material. If you happen to have old gold jewellery on hand, what would you choose?
