D.Van-Daaz dealership started as a marketing initiative in collaboration with M.S.D Gemological Laboratory, a reputable diamond dealing company based in Montreal Canada for 20 years. During all those years the lab has been marked by its excellence of service to the local professional and end-users communities. When Van-Daaz's "Internet Project" started to become a reality, in early 1995, Van-Daaz was one of the pioneering and visionary forces of the new concept of 'Net' based loose-diamond retailing, with only two or three other dealerships experimenting with the same concept (most of them ended up discouraged at the initial stages and dropped the project after a short while. Van-Daaz is apparently the only lasting--and still growing strong--survivor of those first, "Net" diamond commerce pioneering days). Yesteryears' dream is by now a firm, viable and established reality with an impressive track record. We have a saying, here, amongst us at Van-Daaz: "A.D. Van- DOES--the rest of the Trade is watching...". <P><A HREF="http://www.montreal.bbb.org" target="_parent"><IMG SRC="file:///D|/VanDaaz2/BBBN.JPG" WIDTH=129 HEIGHT=37 BORDER=1 ALIGN=LEFT></A>  <A HREF="http://www.webwatchdog.com/scripts/verify.cfm?merchant=1999042144319153"> <IMG SRC="http://www.webwatchdog.com/images/seal.cfm?m=1999042144319153" BORDER=1 ALIGN=RIGHT ALT="Click and Verify Participation in WebWatchdog"></A>  <P>Van-Daaz is a member in good standing of the <EM><A HREF="http://www.montreal.bbb.org" target="_parent">Better Business Bureau</A></EM> (scroll down their linked page for our local chapter's telephone number), adheres in full to the <EM>Bureau</EM>'s strict code of ethics and to its arbitration mechanism.

Our uninterrupted <EM>Web</EM>-presence seniority (since 1995) is yet another testimony to our customers satisfaction and to our success as a viable and reliable <EM>Web</EM>-commerce.<A HREF="http://www.diamonds.ca/diamonds/refer.html" target="_parent"><EM>(You may also wish to read these testimonials...).</EM></A> <P>Van-Daaz is listed in the Jewelers Board of Trade's <EM>"Red Book"</EM> as a credit-worthy member of the industry. Van-Daaz US corporation is now another planned pilot project to be implemented via incorporation under the laws of the State of New-York with its corporate head office in Plattsburgh NY<BR> <P>With the realization that the bulk of Van-Daaz's sales are within the USA a <EM>Liaison</EM> has been established in New York City with a local reputable broker to look after diamond sourcing within the USA. Van-Daaz has become the main marketing arm of large New York based diamond sources. All Van-Daaz's American customers are serviced and supplied from within the USA at no extra delays or charges due to trans-border transactions. <P>To ensure that the concerns of our clients are met to the fullest Van-Daaz employs the packaging and shipping services of an <EM>independent</EM> warehousing and freight-forwarding company, based in St. Albans VT. (in business since 1919, with US government bonded facilities) that has no arm's-length dealing with Van-Daaz or its personnel, following strict inspection and security measures. It is the only on-line dealership using such extra security measure which adds an additional level of inspection, verification and control for your full satisfaction and complete elimination of shipment errors. <P>References by satisfied Van-Daaz's Internet customers are available upon request. <BR CLEAR=LEFT><P>Your purchase is safe and guaranteed not only because of Van-Daaz's reputation but, also, for a lot more: <P><OL> <LI> Your diamond is graded by a reputable independent gemological laboratory of NATIONAL scale (always quoted in our serach results and/or offering message): Most are graded by the Gemological Institute of America (G.I.A), the rest are by The International Gemmological Institute (I.G.I) or the European Gemological Laboratory (EGL)--the three leading gemological laboratories in North America and Europe; The diamond arrives sealed with the grading and quality certificate The same information is included in your invoice, cover letter and guarantee .<BR> <IMG SRC="file:///D|/VanDaaz2/ALERT.GIF" WIDTH=52 HEIGHT=60 BORDER=0 ALIGN ABS=BOTTOM><!Animation created by Webpromotion: http://www.webpromotion.com> The choice of large national scale grading lab is your ultimate in guarantee of impartiality. By being detached from local businesses, by grading large volumes of gems and by not being themselves gem vendors-- the lab is indifferent to the grading results as determinants of the diamond value and invulnerable to pressures by any individual submitting dealer (which cannot always be said about in-house or small local grading labs; Notice also that it had been the GIA that had introduced to the trade the very grading system and terminology now used and accepted by virtually all). <LI> The transaction starts with the issuing of an e-mailed Letter of Undertaking by Van-Daaz to ship a particular diamond chosen by you, carefully described, to you , against and upon the collection of payment in full for it. Thus, a conditional delivery guarantee is in place before your actual payment for your peace of mind. <LI> You may pay us by variety of financial instruments: Wire Transfer (fastest & safest), Credit Cards (add 3.75% to payment--important limitations apply), Credit Card Company Check (at no extra charge and with a short delay), Bank Drafts, Certified Checks (short delay), Personal Check (longest delay), etc. <LI> Your diamond is shipped to you via a safe courier and the shipment is fully insured. Packaging and shipping are carried out by a bonded specialized freight forwarding company of long track record (since 1919) in VT and NY with no arm-length dealings with Van-Daaz or with its personnel. <LI> Finally, your diamond is accompanied by Van Daaz's 7 days <I>No-Hassle-money-back-guarantee</I>*: <P>During 7 days from YOUR receipt of the merchandise Van-Daaz extends a <EM>No Hassle Money Back Guarantee</EM>-- No questions asked; As all our diamonds are graded by the GIA, EGL, IGI or HRD all need to be done upon receipt of your diamond is to establish a match between the original certificate that accompanies the shipped diamond and the diamond itself. Match establishment is a procedure that takes sheer minutes and is carried out for a low or at no charge at all, by most experienced professionals, jewelers or gemologists.  <P>Remember that longer guarantees (some dealers offer a 30-day guarantee--and beyond...) are not necessarily in your favor: In most cases your diamond is still uninsured and a longer guarantee tends to lead to postponed verification and to affecting numerous trips in which the diamond is shuttled, changing hands, pockets, locations and surroundings--the ideal circumstances for misplacements of this tiny & precious item, its loss, incurred damages to it or mistaken exchange. Misplacement in one's own premises or pockets are also a risk when diamonds are carried and/or stored by untrained individuals, such as...the average consumer... For an examination that takes few minutes-- your 7 day guarantee is truly the best... longer guarantees border on the gimmick and irresponsible. Still, on occasion, and due to clients special circumstances and needs--we do extend the period of our guarantee. <P>This guarantee is based on a 'net' period: FROM <EM>YOUR</EM> DATE OF RECEIPT TO THE DATE OF <EM>YOUR</EM> SHIPMENT-BACK TO US; In other words-- the guarantee period is the full 7-day period in which the diamond is in your possession (some dealers offer it from the time of 'sale'--your payment date...). <BR>*Certain limitation apply. This guarantee is not applicable to lay-away diamonds or diamonds viewed and picked up in person by the client and/or the client's proxies. Incurred S&H costs are deducted from refund. <P>(Notice that ring settings are covered only against manufacturing defects once they are made to measure; Retail customers and jewelers-please call for your guarantee terms)</OL> <P>In order to guarantee that you receive the stone of the exact characteristics ordered by you great care and caution are exercised by Van-Daaz personnel and shipping department in the process of inspecting, preparing documenting and examining the item shipped to you. <P>Each stage of the process is controlled through strict packing and shipping attestations and documentation: your diamond is documented and attested to be properly placed in the sealed package shipped to you. Each diamond above a particular weight is carefully "fingerprinted": it is mapped with respect to its unique characteristics and the mapping document is kept with your file in our office. Variety of other security measures to guarantee the authenticity of your diamond are also put into place.  <P>Inspired by the traditions of trust and honesty characteristic of the diamond trade in its cradle -land of old Flanders Van-Daaz is committed to its goal of offering honest and straight-forward value, guarantees, service and information to diamond buyers.
