    The cynical side of me wonders... 

    Ok, if they DID ship to GIA for verification, and GIA confirms and
    returns the stone to the seller and they forward to you, ( I'd have a
    hard time seeing GIA or any other lab, shipping to a third party)
    what makes you think you will STILL be assured of getting the right
    stone? Couldn't the seller switch after the GIA confirm? 

    You need independent verification. Done in such a way as to be able
    to refute the seller's possible defense that the 'verifier' switched
    the stone. 

    You've gotten excellent advice from the forum as far as what to do
    next. Good luck with it. 

    BTW, how far off the cert was the stone in question?
