I usually avoid international purchases because of the hassle with customs and the additional transit time involved. I was shocked that my china arrived airmail in one week from England to Arkansas, USA. Both items were vintage sugar bowls and the quality was exactly as described. They were well packed with a packing slip/invoice enclosed. I also received a copy of my order, confirmation of payment and shipping information by mail. I highly recommend Chinasearch.
