The cup and saucer arrived safely and in good order

We were asked by a friend in the USA to source some traditional china, we looked at the Chinasearch site, identify a few and sent details then of them to the USA for approval. When we received his selection we went into the Chinasearch order system to buy these, unfortunately as we went through the list the majority of them came up as not in stock. It would be helpful if the website advised purchasers when an item is not available before they go into the ordering sytem. In the end, we had to select our friend's fourth preference, which was more expensive that the others. Having said that the product arrived in good time and in good order. Thank you.
