<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 11545012, member: 5833"]If I'm not reading in something that isn't said explicitly, looks like the claim is that item goes to an actual GIA facility. Would not be the least surprised if people just work from home. They don't do anything that would require "advanced testing", which amazingly includes identifying dyed cryptocrystalline quartz, i.e., chalcedony/agate. They won't count little diamonds if there are too many of them. All of this is naturally to protect sellers & let buyers shop with confidence.</p><p><br /></p><p>I get the impression some sellers are setting shipping prices as if they have to cover both legs of the trip, while supposedly they only have to get item to GIA.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
