I am a bids.com customer. Love browsing and making purchases from them. Bought from Bids for me, my wife and as gifts.
Never encountered any problems.

I experienced the same issue whereby they took my money but did not fulfill it until I complained. I monitored the tracking number and saw the items being moved from one facility in China to another. Package finally arrived within 3 weeks. Items look nice but I can't confirm if they are 18k gold and 925 sterling silver- quality looks to be plated. My only comment is you get what you pay for.

It's a scam
August 8, 2020

This is an auction site that lists jewelry and other goods at prices that seem too good to be true, with the promise of 'Authenticity guaranteed!' But in reality? It's all a scam. All the listings are fake. You aren't even informed of where the items are being shipped from. And if there ship at all? Your lucky to even get an ugly bootleg version of the item you bid on. And good luck even trying to reach anyone for help because that's non existent.

Don't base your bids on their "retail prices"
August 18, 2023

UPDATE: I have continued to purchase items on Bids. I have had some items that were not real silver, but the customer service was very quick with refunding me on them. Also, the watch mentioned in my first review stopped working after wearing it only six times, and they promptly refunded me. I do not buy anything based on the retail price, however. There are some outrageous prices for sure, but I stick mostly to buying things under $20. So, it's like everything you buy in life... do your due diligence.:)

Don't base your bids on their "retail prices". I've bid and won several rings on the site, however, I have discovered that their retail prices on most of the products are way overinflated. I just happened to find a watch I had bid on and won for $73, online for $39 and their retail price listed was $828! A lot of the rings and earrings can be found on Aliexpress for about 5% of what they claim them to be worth. I am still waiting on the last three items I won - they were shipped today, apparently. I contacted them before they were shipped and told them I wanted a refund, because of the discrepancy in the retail price making the deal a scam, and got the runaround. Then the last emails I sent for the last two days weren't responded to, and then they shipped them today, because I told them I wanted a refund! Now I can't get a refund, because they've been shipped! They won't get another purchase from me!

I have 5 granddaughters. I used Bids to get them each a ring, a necklace and earrings in each of their birthstones. I have also used it for items for myself
