😠 Went in today and there were five employees in the store. So I get in line behind the woman who is currently being served at that point for employees all decide to leave to go on break at the same time leaving only one employee in the store, and people waiting in the line a ridiculous amount of time... People often mention ring, service, store, customer, location, experience, online, staff, time, sales,

    Went in today and there were five employees in the store. So I get in line behind the woman who is currently being served at that point for employees all decide to leave to go on break at the same time leaving only one employee in the store, and people waiting in the line a ridiculous amount of time. I ended up just walking away and buying my jewelry elsewhere.

    Ordered a bracelet online and chose to pickup at this location. Next day my order was cancelled due to inventory issues (no mention of a refund). No one tried to call me to give me other options, and the item is still in stock at other stores (still listed in stock at this store too...) So I spoke to the People's live chat and reordered, with delivery to my home. Pretty cheesed I have to get charged twice (hopefully with a refund coming) instead of the store just calling me and working it out.

    Adrianna, was so pleasant and easy to deal with, she truly made the entire experience a breath of Fresh air, we wanted to make this right and felt so discouraged with all the high pressure sales from their competition it was getting so discouraging , so glad that we found Peoples and Adrianna 😊🌹, so so Happy! Thank you so so much! John and Tanya

    Nice people working here but they don’t carry large size silicone rings for men. I found saferingz on Amazon.

    I was quite disappointed with the quality of service that I received at this location. I went in with my engagement ring and wedding band. They needed to be resized and repaired. The staff seemed very disorganized and uncertain at there tasks. I waited over a month to get these Rings back and when I called for information no one was quite sure what was happening. Finally I got the call that my rings were ready. when I went into the store to pick them up engagement then was absolutely perfect and exactly what I wanted. Unfortunately, the lady forgot to note in the paper that the second band was supposed to be resized and it had also come back a bit deformed. She needed to send the ring back and I waited another 2 weeks. The service is extremely poor at this location but the staff are very friendly. I know it is not peoples Jeweler as a brand but just this location because peoples jeweler at Rideau have always given me the most phenomenal service

    Wonderful staff and overall experience! I was treated with respect and without prejudice, the staff met all of my needs. I will definitely come back to this location for my future jewellery needs 🙂

    Had issues ordering an item online. Ordered some earrings and then received an email saying order was cancelled due to item not being in stock, even though it showed in stock online. I tried calling another People's store to check on stock and no one picked up. It's Christmas time so stores are busy. So I started an online chat with a representative and they took my number and reached out to the store on my behalf and had them call me to reserve a pair that they had. I was able to then go the next day and pick them up. Great customer service. 👌

    My Fiancé and I were not greeted, and when we received help looking for wedding bands, it wasn't very pleasant or informative. I chose to shop here because of the wide selection of bands, specifically for men, and also because of the Black Friday sales. The sales person proceeded to make fun of the one ring my Fiancé had his eyes on, saying it was suitable for teenage boys. At that point he decided he did not want to have a sale here, however I liked the ring I chose as well as the price so I didn't care. I was hoping for a better experience for something so special. I don't regret getting my ring here, but the experience was incredibly disappointing.

    So glad to be a customer of people’s for almost 15 years now. Jila (st Laurent location) was the greatest of help to me when I needed it the most. She made me feel taken care of, assured , and most of all, like family ! Thank you so much Jila! Wishing you the best and can’t wait make more People’s memories with you !

    Probably one of the worst experiences I've ever had. I was completely taken advantage of and promised no payments or interest for 12 Months with Flexiti. To my surprise, this contract doesn't work if you live in Quebec. I was never informed anything. When I approached Gila to let her know the issues, all she could tell me was "She was sorry" & "She Didn't know". She knew very well when I gave her my drivers license and all, she only wanted to make the sale and didn't care what position it put me in. This has put me in an awful position with my engagement ring. I just wish I could of been properly informed, especially with a big life decision that I entrusted to Peoples Jewellers.

    Hello, I wanted to send a thank you to Behar, sales associate at People's St. Laurent. She provided the best customer experience to my wife, son and myself. Extremely knowledgeable and knew how to coordinate our purchases with various outfits to make them versatile. We will be back to your store. Greig

    I will be contacting you tomorrow. After speaking with customer care today only to find out the ring we brought in to return due to bad inscribing was never reordered so sadly no fathers day gift. And a few issues with the new purchases we had bought in store. We went in last night to return all our purchases with no intention of shopping in store again. Gole however rectified most of the issues we had recieved wonderful and transparent service from her. I give her a 5 star. Talk tomorrow thank you

  • 5/5 Roxanne B. 1 year ago on Google
    We visited to have a Diamond fixed, and the store manager made sure to put us back on track with the warranty. We purchased the ring from Goli a couple of years ago. She was fantastic. Today, we had help by Adrianna and she was fantastic. If you visit, I highly recommend you speak with one of them.

  • 5/5 Rachel R. 11 months ago on Google
    I had an amazing experience with Golie. She took the time to make sure we chose the best ring and was super hospitable. She kept us notified of any news while the ring was being sized. I highly recommend her as she’s an Angel and will make sure that she goes above and beyond for you. Thank you so much from Rachel and Kin ❤️

  • 5/5 Carolyn V. 1 year ago on Google
    Dealt with Jila at St.Laurent Ottawa location. Could not have received more professional conduct. She helped secure a repair to my custom made diamond ring. Absolutely the best warranty in the business. It is for life I missed a check up on it due to the pandemic but was assured it would be covered regardless. Highly recommend People's and Jila!!

  • 5/5 Michelle L. 1 year ago on Google
    I enjoy going to peoples jewelers, the sales person I go to is Jila she is very knowledgable and has no pressure. She is fantastic at her job and I enjoy shopping with her. I will continue on recommending her to other friends and family. Thank you peoples for hiring her job. Well done.

    We bought my engagement ring here I had a problem and The manager Adrianna was very quick to fix it I was very satisfied We have made more purchases We plan on buying our wedding bands here as well witch is on our wish list Great Job

  • 5/5 C V. 1 year ago on Google
    I had to resize my engagement ring. I had a great experience while working with Goli. She had my ring come back very quickly. Will work with her again!

  • 1/5 Zach A. 1 year ago on Google
    People’s jewelry’s process is archaic and very time consuming. You would think the longest part of buying wedding bands would be the actual selection but that turned out to be the shortest. They did not have our bands in stock so to purchase them online. Not a huge issue. However they use the same online buying process everyone else uses which is very slow and took twice as long as the actual selection. To top it all off, you can’t use their store Flexiti credit card to purchase items online. This all added to the time spent on something very simple.

  • 5/5 Hadja Mariama D. 1 year ago on Google
    Giving 5 stars cause Gauly is the best and always gives me 100% of her attention. She is very professional with a lot of gentle, nice and very understanding. She helped me through a big issues and made it happen. Thanks again Gauly!👍🏽

  • 5/5 Stephanie B. 1 year ago on Google
    I would like to give thank you to Jila she was very very helpful in picking out a beautiful 60th birthday gift .She listen to what was said and didn’t try and upsell. She was very patient until we decided what we wanted. I will definitely go back and talk to Jila and tell other people as well.

  • 5/5 prounat 1 year ago on Google
    I've been served by Gole for the past visits and every single times, she made me feel special. She's very kind, does care about her customer and she's always willing to answer my questions and addresses my concerns. I highly recommend her.

  • 1/5 i F. 1 year ago on Google
    I went I for Black Friday sales which advertised Neil Lane rings for $69,99 and I went in and was called stupid that this was a scam and how could I expect to pay that price for diamonds. I got it off their website!!! And they won’t honour it.

  • 5/5 ameet g. 2 years ago on Google
    Loved dealing with Avid - the store Manager! She helped me purchase through virtual support the best anniversary presents for my wife. Thank you so much :)

  • 5/5 Transcending L. 5 years ago on Google
    Went in today looking for a ring to commemorate my mother. The salesperson Shawn or Sean (I'm not sure how he spells it unfortunately! I do apologize!!) was amazing. So patient and knowledgeable. I normally did not like the old staff but the new staff that are now part of this location were ALL amazing. I was greeted immediately and I am so happy with my purchase. Not pushy at all. I left with 3 rings and could not be any happier!!!

  • 5/5 Mariève B. 4 years ago on Google
    I had trouble with a watch that was under warranty. Long story short they didn't repair it and I was quite upset of the time it took and the customer service. The store manager, Adrianna, was incredibly nice to me and arranged my situation fairly quickly.

  • 1/5 Nicholas L. 3 years ago on Google
    Buy your rings here if you like having to argue with what ring size you need, even after you’ve had your finger measured. And then when the ring is to big for your finger because they didn’t size it properly have then tell you that it’s because your hands are cold. Don’t bother with this place, your money is better spent elsewhere!

  • 4/5 Chris S. 3 years ago on Google
    Great service, and good covid safety. I will definitely return.

  • 1/5 jupiter c. 2 years ago on Google
    Worse place to buy a ring, literally takes for ever to get sized and engraved. Should have ordered online.

  • 5/5 Julie L. 2 years ago on Google
    Knowledgeable and honest staff, quality customer service and quick results.

  • 1/5 Francis B. 8 months ago on Google • 2 reviews
    Great service when you are buying something but when it comes to service it seems as no one cares or wants to help you. My ring has been in to be repaired over 4 times and no one has called me once to let me know its ready. I have had purchased this ring in 2021 and its has spent over 4-6 months in total waiting to be repaired. I would recommend a dedicated service person or team because its not about selling you something its about making sure after the sale you are happy as you will be a repeat customer and generate referrals. I will not be shopping with Peoples anymore.

    Today on April 6th the man and woman who were working this morning were extremely helpful and provided exceptional customer service. The woman offered to clean my engagement ring for free too even though I hadn't purchased it from there. Very welcoming and made it a very happy experience even after we discovered our online order for my fiancée wedding band was the wrong size. Helped fix the problem fairly quickly. I wish I could remember their names

😠 Us Africans need to do better. Simply having a store and doing the bare minimum of having products without good customer service is not acceptable. We aren't in Africa anymore, we know better, we should therefore do better. This review comes from a good place. Google needs a zero star feature.
