After ordering some items online I received an email to let me know one of them was unavailable. They had checked with other stores and although it wasn’t available they offered a replacement or refund and I was very happy with the communication from them. The items arrived the next day and I will definitely do business here again. Well done on great customer service. Thank you. I will recommend market cross to all my friends.

Fantastic Staff
Today I visited several jewellery stores in the Metrocentre Gateshead to browse for rings containing rubies as it is my Ruby Wedding Anniversary soon. I started at Market Cross Jewellers near M&S and spoke to a lovely member of staff called Susan who showed me some rings and let me take photos to show my husband. Having been to several other jewellery stores in the centre and having spoken to my husband I later returned to Market Cross Jewellers to order a ring I particularly liked. I spoke with Susan again and also Kim (who was not there earlier) both of whom appreciated my business. It was explained to me that as my size was not in stock that it would take about 4 weeks to arrive. Susan phoned me later to tell me that I could have one sized or wait a little longer for one to be made from scratch. I chose the latter. This store has lovely staff and jewellery at what in my opinion is affordable prices. I would certainly recommend this branch if you are looking for something special.

Excellent Experience at Teesside Park Store - Highly Recommend!
I started my journey by browsing rings online, and I must say, the website was incredibly user-friendly and well-designed. This positive initial experience encouraged me to visit the Teesside Park store, and I'm so glad I did!
From the moment I walked in, all the staff were incredibly helpful and welcoming. Their assistance made the whole process enjoyable and easy. I'd like to give a special shout-out to Kirstie, who was particularly helpful and went above and beyond.
I would highly recommend this store to anyone looking for a fantastic shopping experience. Thank you to the wonderful team!

Very informative helpful and friendly
Bought a pre owned Breitling Avenger, Everyhthing was explained over the phone by Adam and then Alison. Very happy with the purchase. Was told the watch was in excellent condition and it was. Only issue was the clasp has a small crease…..

Terrible shocking service
Terrible service - Teesside park. Ordered an engagement and wedding ring. I was told 4-6 weeks. I rang to check up on my order to be told that they have just sent the order to the owner as they do it on set days. They said the owner emailed a couple of days ago to say it will be 8 weeks. I had to ring to find this out and this would take us past our wedding day.
I then asked for a refund to be told they dont so refunds. They spoke to the owner and said they have one at hartlepool and can deliver but needs resized. I said no, I want a refund. Owner agreed to it so I wen to the store.
Rude staff then told me they sent staff to Hartlepool to collect the ring despite me say wait and ill confirm or ask for refund. I didnt confirm yet they still sent someone to collect something we didnt want and then made it out that it was my fault.
Then the refund. Rather than refund me, they charged me again then had to refund me to cover the initial cost and the mistake charge. Then an empty apology.
I contacted the owner to complain and Roy Welsh ignore my email and direct message.
Utterly shocking, terrible service. I will never buy anything from them again.
Edit-I have since been contacted by the store who have appologised and addressed the issues raised. They also offered a good will which I have asked them to pay it forward to the next customer to make their day.

This is the place to buy a pre-owned Rolex
Superb customer service. Mick listened to my thoughts and wishes to buy a Rolex and helped me purchase exactly what met my needs. A most enjoyable transaction. Thanks too to the new lady Jacqueline for her help.

Just a little note of appreciation, the girls in the Hillstreet branch (near Greggs) are the most welcoming and helpful group ever. I am always in there whether it’s browsing or buying all the girls are there to help me with any questions, always attentive and friendly. Big hats off to the team. Got a forever customer in me. Thanks girls x

i paid a £40 non refundable deposit for a vintage watch to be repaired- which i could offset once i was told what was wrong with it and proceed with repair
i have been informed they are unable to repair the watch as its vintage and they can't get the parts - it seems i have paid £40 for that advice. i was offered for them to send the watch to switzerland and they would use the £40 for that - but it's over 3 months to get the watch back- it's a repair for my son's birthday so the timing and probably costs don't work
i think it is disgraceful customer service to charge me £40 to say they can't fix the watch - because i was told it is non refundable they think it's acceptable to keep my money

Purchased two watches today Mathew was a real pleasure to deal with fantastic service I will definitely be using them more in the future

Incredible customer service
Incredible customer service. I was dealt with by both Meg and Adam after being informed of a delay in availability with an item I purchased. They both simply went out their way to keep me satisfied with incredible levels of personable service. Nothing was too much in making me feel valued. Not experienced a retailer who cared so much to ensure I was satisfied. Communication unrivalled also.

Exceptional customer service
I orderd my item for collection to the wrong store which meant it would arrive later than required, I emailed them and they sent me a new invoice and sourced the item in another store for my convenience. Having been an error on my part, the customer service was excellent and on collection the store staff were friendly, polite and professional.
It's great to see that they consistently give great service regardless of budget
Would highly recommend this company

Excellent customer service, would purchase from them again
Excellent customer service. I ordered a pair of earrings from them and though they said it was out of stock, not only did they offered me a refund, they offered me a discount on their full price or discounted items as an alternative. I encountered some problems with the clasp of the earrings upon receipt, but they offered to fix it at no extra cost. They were also responsive in their emails.

Shambles of a company placed an online order for next day delivery, had to call 2 days later to be told the item is out of stock and i can have a refund or choose something else (useful) zero interaction regarding my order, if I hadn't called no doubt i wouldn't have been contacted, avoid them crap customer service

Exceptional customer service
Exceptional customer service. Ordered an item online which ended up being out of stock. They checked their other stores which didn’t have it either. They offered an alternative or a discount when purchasing a different item. Hollie couldn’t have done more and kept me informed the whole way through. Would definitely recommend and will be ordering from them again.
