Laiba Jewelers - Corpus Christi (TX)

1 /5 Dan Spaulding: Gave a reasonable price to replace a watch battery. Then at checkout the price was double. Asked why it was double and was told it was for removing a link. I never agreed to paying them to remove a link from the watch.

1 /5 Misty Nelius-Archibeque: Thiefs. Plain and simple. I paid for a ring with my debit card. It took a long time for them to process the payment. Enough time that I got frustrated wondering why they held my card under the counter for so long. A few days later, my bank account was drained with fraudulent use all over the country. They ordered take out in New York multiple times, bought tickets to Six Flags, movie tickets and more to the tune of about $5,000. Ive contacted CCPD to file a police report and reported that they have a skimming device under the counter by the register but to my knowledge nothing was done. Do yourself a favor and don’t use a credit or debit card here.

5 /5 Norma Jarman: I had my watch battery replaced at another jewelry store, and they werent able to pop the cover back on. I went to Laiba on the chance they could assist, and not only did they replace the cover, they also did it free of charge.

1 /5 Vincent Mata: Spent $1500 on a fake Cuban link chain, bought a few chains and the last one I bought was fake, he trys to trick you and tests it in front of you but pawn shop will not buy it, bad business.

1 /5 Kel Hedlund: A bad overall experience. I took 2 watches in for batteries and brought my own leather bands. I was charged $10 each just to change the bands, which I didnt mind paying. There were issues with the pins on one of my watches so, they ask to keep it a day or 2 to go to their other location and get the right pin. I said sure, I came back 2 days later and found out they shipped my watch out to Houston and didnt even call or ask my permission to do so. FYI...my Mother worked in fine jewelry for 20 yrs and I sold jewelry in my business for 20 yrs. I said it is customary and required by law that you get my permission to send any jewelry outside of this business for repairs. I used to have my clients sign that they understood this, due to insurance requirements. The jerk handed me a card and said have your lawyer contact me. I said, Im not looking to sue, I just want to know why you lied about being able to fix it and why you didnt inform me it was being shipped out. He said, if you dont have a video or recording of the incident, it didnt matter if he did lie. He also referred to me as a "white boy", I reminded him that is racial discrimination. He said he didnt care. I mean SERIOUSLY!
