Do rudrakshas really help?...whom to trust and where to buy?

[Guest guest]

---Dear Sir, you wrote, " I deliberately stuck to a low value order

just to check on their service. " ---WELL, YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR.

It's correct: You spend little, you get little. I buy HIGH VALUE beads

from RR.com and get GREAT quality, FAST! Y/s, R-

the cheap tricks they resort to (like the one they're up to right

now), don't go un-noticed with the discerning buyer.

the service was exceedingly sloppy, as they ended up shipping the

beads only a good two weeks after I ordered. Secondly when the beads

did arrive, they turned out to be some ridiculously teeny weeny pieces

of stuff, barely looking like Rudrakshas and almost the size Bengal

grams. There was on guarantee certificate, neither did they include

the free Rudraksha booklet they advertise of in their website. In the

mean while, I check on a few local merchant, and the 2 mukhi Java

beads they were selling, were much bigger (12 mm to 15 mm beads) and a

lot cheaper than what Rudraksha Ratna charged.

Mahashivratri day, which was the day I had planned to have my family

member wear it. That apart, the beads did not prove to be effective

either.

615.00), but the service more than makes up for it. At this point of

time, I must let you know that I've chanced upon some very negative

posts about their proprietor Suresh Basnet, on the Audarya Fellowship

website. And I give two hoots about it. As they say " The proof of the

cake is in the eating. " Very soon, actually next week, I shall place

my next order with them and, most importantly, without any

apprehensions . All in all I'm happy with the service.

similar fashion. It's not sensible to make a choice based on just word

of mouth. Go ahead and order a few beads from the dealer you find most

convincing, wear them with unwavering faith, check on the effects for

a month, and then make your decision.

If some penny-pinching MISER comes to my business they might get

kicked out. Or served last. And they get the LEAST we have. Attention

all misers: Stay away!
