Pricescope discount on JA

[pika40607]

I noticed that jamesallen has revamped their website, but they no longer show the "pricescope discount" prices. I am looking for around a 1.05 round diamond, several of which I have on hold. Does anyone happen to know what an approximate discount percentage might be for something like this?

The CS rep via chat was unable to help me out because of the fact that the diamonds were "on hold".

I just ordered from them today. I think the discount was somewhere between 4 & 5%. Make sure you see it on your invoice when you order. Mine wasn't so I asked. No problem.

Do you have diamonds on hold because you're waiting for idealscopes? If so, the JA rep that gets you that info will be able to tell you the PS price. I had the same situation about a week ago (diamonds on hold so couldn't figure out the PS price) but Garrett (the JA rep I worked with) was able to give me the PS prices once I got the images.

It should work out to approximately 5%.

I also had Garrett help me. Just make sure when you purchase you see the discount. He forgot mine. I reminded him and no problem. I also think the Pricescope discount is only for the diamond. If you pay by wire you will get another 1.5% on whole order.

Correct. I also worked with Garrett on mine and he'd forgotten to add the 5% discount but it was an easy fix. Yes, it is only for the diamond and payment by wire transfer adds a smaller discount.

Do they give out 4-5% discount for all cuts of stone?

I was requesting 3 stones (truehearts) to be inspected but the rep only quoted about 1% pricescope discount for me.
How should I negotiate to get the 4-5% discount?

Thank you.

I was corrected by Jim the company owner and he said it was between a 1% and 5% discount, but varies on the stone. So you need to check with them. The wire discount is for all diamonds 1.5% i believe.

The PS discount does vary from stone to stone. I noticed before that the discount was less on the True Hearts too. I don't think that you can really negotiate further beyond the wire discount.
