Mr Venables
Excellent service but the mug is a dud.
Excellent and helpful service but, alas, the mug I received was a very poor imitation of the original – thick, heavy porcelain with a course clumsy transfer of the botanical print.
Comment from Chinasearch:
Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry to hear you are not happy with the mug we sent you. It may be that the mug we sent you was from a later production run to yours. Please call me on the number below if you would like to return it to us.

disappointed that these difficult to get hold off bowls were unusable.
By packaging their products more securely. two out of the three bowls were broken on arrival. In my opinion there should be more padding between the bowls and I can't understand why bubble wrap isn't used. having said that the refund service was excellent.
Comment from Chinasearch:
Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry that there was not enough packing between the bowls which is what seems to have caused the problem .This has been passed onto the packing department. Having tried various packing materials over the years we find newspaper is the best stock absorber and can be easily re-cycled.

Comment from Chinasearch:
Thank you for your feedback. I can see you registered a search request with us on the 2 March for plates in this pattern. It can sometimes take a while to find discontinued items as it depends on what is available for us to find. As well as customers selling to us we have a network of people around the country that look on our behalf. We will keep on searching until we find the items and will contact you when stock is available.  
Comment from customer:
No I ordered 7 plates or bowls that I am still expecting
Comment from Chinasearch:
I can see you ordered and paid for one bowl on the 2nd. Please contact me if you need anymore information.

Disappointment
I received notification via telephone call that my pattern was in and then got an e-mail indicating the plates were being held for me for 2 weeks. I rang 6 days later and the plates had already been sold to someone else. Fortunately the salad plates were still there but I really wanted the dinner plates as well. The staff person who helped me was knowledgeable.
Comment from Chinasearch:
We are sorry we have let you down on this occasion and our service was not our usual high standard. We will let you know as soon as we get more plates in stock.

Disappointed in a usually great service
The item I ordered was a Blackberry sauce boat from Marks and Spencer.which was delivered promptly and very well packed. Unfortunately it was a fruit bowl and was the wrong pattern.I returned it immediately and was assured that the error would be corrected straight away. Two days later the replacement arrived..It was a sauce boat but not the right pattern. I can accept that errors are occasionally made but twice running suggests lack of care or perhaps training of staff in the right department The lady I dealt with was very apologetic and went to the stock room to sort it out personally .The correct item has now arrived. I do hope that you will be able to find some large blackberriy dinner plates for me and that no more errors like this will occur
Comment from Chinasearch:
I am sorry to hear that your order did not go as smoothly as it should have done. I am glad it has now been sorted out and we will certainly let you know when we get dinner plates in stock.

Wrong china sent!
The wrong china was sent! To their credit, the correct set was then sent quickly. However,having to fit it round the collection service to return the wrong china was an inconvienence. So all in all,not the good experience this time that I`d had before with Chinasearch.

I appreciate the commitment to finding replacements however I have yet to receive my order. This may be an issue with my country’s Customs.
Comment from Chinasearch:
It is very disappointing to hear that you have still not received your order, which should have arrived by now. I have done the refund and we will alert you as soon as we get more stock in.

After my wife ordered from you I had a look on Ebay. I ordered 12 ramekin dishes at a cost of £3.75 each including postage and perfect quality. They arrived 2 days later. The three ordered from you cost £7.75 each and arrived over a week later.
Comment from Chinasearch:
Thank you for the feedback, and we are pleased you have been able to find items you needed. We aim to dispatch orders within 2 working days and send orders via Royal Mail and Parcel Force. Sorry this did not meet your expectations.

I had stuff to sell as well as buy but they never did come back to me about it. When I took the selling crockery to them, it turned out they didn't want it, but the lady who told me was really quite unpleasant.

I am sorry you had a bad experience this time. If you visit us again I hope it will be better for you.

The service was good but the item bought was expensive and I was disappointed that the pattern differed from the one on what should have been a matching pepper pot.

Will keep looking
Did not find what I wanted but I understand the china I want is not easily accessible and more expensive that what I can afford!
Comment from Chinasearch:
I am sorry you could not find what you were looking for. If you let us know what it is we can do a search for you. There is no obligation to buy once we find items and no charge for the search.

Great items!
My items arrived to Japan with a customs surcharge; I had to pay about 1400 yen (10GBP) upon receipt. Customer service was polite, but with a 'nothing we can do.'
Comment from Chinasearch:
I am glad you were pleased with the bowls we sent you. When ordering goods from overseas you may be subject to import duties unfortunately this is beyond our control.

Disappointed
Regrettably the two bowls did not exactly match the picture of the bowl in the advert. Although the pattern on the outside of the bowls was correct the design on the inside was quite different from the picture against which I ordered the bowls. I have, however, accepted the bowls without complaint although I was disappointed.
Comment from Chinasearch:
I am glad I have been able to speak to you today and that you are happy to keep the bowls we sent you. I am sorry that we did not notice that the bowls we sent you were different to the photo on our website. Denby must have changed the design at some point. We will adjust the stock list to show this different version.

DISAPPOINTED !
The items arrived within the expected international shipping time but were NOT, as far as I can tell, as represented. And I have no way to prove it. They were well packaged. I would not recommend this company nor would I buy from them again. See remarks below.

Comment from Chinasearch:
Beryl was produced over a long period of time, the 1940's to the early 2000's. It maybe your cup is from an earlier production run than the one we sent you which would explain the difference in colour and backstamp.I am glad I have been able to talk to you today and hope that the replacement is a better match to your set.

The process of notifying clients that their search items have arrived does not work. "My" items were sold before I had an oppotunity to purchase them. This is simply not good enough. Why not have a window of say 7-10 days before the items go on open sale?
Comment from Chinasearch:
Many thanks for your comments. I am glad we were able to fulfil your search request in the end. We can have many people on search for the same item and are always looking to improve our service and take your comments on board. Kind Regards Jane 01926 512402 ext 208

I've had the lid of this item on "Search" for maybe 3 years. But no response until they advertised many items, and I took a chance on ordering a complete dish and lid which proved to be the correct one.
Comment from Chinasearch:
I am glad you are happy with the casserole dish and lid we sent you. Over the last 12 months we have been trying to confirm all search requests. As lids are very difficult to find we have been suggesting to customers that we search for the complete item. Kind Regards Jane 01926 512402 ext 208
