Amaavi - Melton South (VIC)

Asraar Shouted at, mocked, refused service, and told to ‘just buy a clasp elsewhere’ utterly humiliating experience. ⁉️ On 22nd August 2025, around 11 AM, I visited the Prouds Highpoint store with receipts, invoices, and photos regarding a necklace I had purchased. The clasp had broken again; the same fault previously repaired by Prouds. I followed their official policies and even offered to pay for repairs. Instead, I was shouted at, mocked, refused service, and publicly humiliated. The staff member (approx. 70+, short dark hair) refused to provide her name, dismissed my necklace as “just a hollow $400 chain,” and told me to “go outside and look at the store number” when I asked for the manager’s contact details. She also refused to send the necklace to Prouds’ worksmiths as I had requested, instead telling me to “just buy another clasp elsewhere” and even proceeded to show me the clasp, despite my clear wish for the product to be properly repaired through head office. While other employees and patrons watched in shock, I very politely and asked the staff member to speak with me in a civil manner (a failed attempt). I left visibly shaken to avoid further chaos. This is not an isolated incident. The Highpoint store has a 3.0 Google rating (91 reviews), many describing the same rudeness, shouting, and dismissiveness I endured. Clearly, this is a recurring problem that Prouds corporate must urgently address. I have receipts, repair dockets, and photos of the faulty necklace and strongly encourage management to review CCTV footage from the date/time of this incident. I have also emailed Prouds customer service and contacted Scott Young, Regional Manager Victoria (JPL Group). No human being deserves to be treated this way.

Nick Cimino A lovely family business with people you can trust. Highly recommend them.

Kerry Barry So very impressed with the redesign of my late mother’s rings. I wanted something more modern that I would wear. Daniel had great suggestions and has done an outstanding job creating two stunning pieces of jewellery that I absolutely love. Thank you to the beautiful ladies in the Castle Hill store and to Daniel Cliff for his expertise and patience. 5 star recommendation from me !
