I purchased 2 Denby Reflex mugs from Chinasearch. l am very dissatisfied because the mugs were not in very good condition. I paid twice for postage by Royal Mail., As a regular customer, my address should have been easily varified by Chinasearch staff before sending the parcel to Royal Mail for postage. The parcel was returned to sender (Chinasearch) because my door number was omitted in the address. I had to pay for postage again before the mugs were resent to me. I was dissatisfied with the condition of the mugs but sending them back to Chinasearch would have meant a further postage charge which would have made no sense for me to undertake. Total cost was already over £40.00. I am highly dissatisfied with this purchase.
Comment from Chinasearch:
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear you were not happy with items we sent you. We can see that when you placed the order you registered as a new customer so the system will use the address you gave. This is then shown on the order conformation before payment is taken and then on the email conformation after the order is placed. You are welcome to return the mugs if you are not happy to keep them.

I have only received pone of the two items I ordered.
Comment from Chinasearch:
Thank you for your feedback. I can see that you ordered a 6 5/8" plates and asked us to look for a 5 7/8" bowl as we did not have this in stock when you placed the order. We are still searching for this item and we will let you know as soon as we find it.

A very good company to deal with
It would be a good idea to note the particular edition of the Wedgwood Colosseum teacup as the Bicentenary edition is both finer and a little smaller than the regular one.
Comment from Chinasearch:
Thank you for your feedback and information on the Bicentenary edition of this item. Now we have more information when we come across this version we can create a separate stock line with a description denoting the difference between the two versions.

Not great
It took a long time to arrive.
Comment from Chinasearch:
Thank you for your feedback. As these items were not in stock at the time of ordering an order was then placed with the supplier. We state on our website that this can take around 4 weeks from ordering. I can see that this order a little longer to come in than first anticipated so we are sorry that this then caused a delay in sending it out to you.

As above.
One plate: wrong pattern, but this was quickly replaced. All items in good condition, as always.

It sorta worked
The cup is the correct pattern, and it arrived in good shape. Unfortunately, it is not an exact match. The size and shape is just enough off from my China that it is noticeable to me. The average person would not notice, but I do and it bothers me. I am not going to return it because shipping would cost more than the cup.
Comment from Chinasearch:
Thank you for your feedback. It sometimes can be difficult to find an exact match. There can be very slight differences in a particular item if a pattern has been produced over a long period of time. It could be due to different production methods. If there is a significant difference in size or shape we would try and list these separately.

Acceptable but somewhat disappointing sine clout did not match
Support was good but when received the box was slit along one side. Contents had been packed well but for the cost better packaging should have been used. The contents were two different colours and the advert had not identified this.
Comment from Chinasearch:
Thank you for your feedback. I am glad to hear your order arrived undamaged even though the box had a slit in it. If a pattern has been made over a long period of time there can be slight differences in colour this can be due to different manufacturing techniques. If you are not happy to keep items you can always call me and we will see if we can find a better match to your china my number is 01926 512402 ext 208.

Disappointed customer
Unfortunately when I received the plates, I found that they were not what I expected. I wanted completely plain white Thomas side plates, not ones with an underlying line pattern.. The web site did not give a clear enough photo of the plate, so I assumed these would match my existing plain white plates.
Comment from Chinasearch:
Thank you for your feedback. It is not easy to see from the photos the concentric circle design on the plate. We will try and make this clearer on our website. I am glad I have been able to speak to your today and identify which Thomas pattern you have so that we can supply you with the correct design.

This is a response to China search, not intended to be published, but I can’t see on the form how to exercise that option. The service was basically fine if on the expensive side. On inspection of the goods they looked to us to be seconds. China search ought to identify when goods are of seconds quality, indicate them as such on the website and price accordingly.
Comment from Chinasearch:
Thank you for your feedback. I can see that the items you bought were graded as 'good' condition. Factory marked seconds are automatically graded as 'good' rather than 'very good' and priced accordingly. If there is no mark then the item with be graded according to condition and usage wear. We will always have items back if you are not happy to keep them. If you have any queries you can always speak to one of the sales team on 01926 512402 and they will be able to help you.

Good service but a lengthy process
There is no indication on the website that delivery time would be so lengthy. There needs to be an explanation of the various stages necessary for supply of new items from the manufacturer.

ordering was easy but the saucer I ordered was not part of the set that I have so I have wasted my money
Comment from Chinasearch:
Thank you for your feedback. I am glad I have been been able to speak to today. Hopefully the saucer we are sending out will be a better match to your set.

Was somewhat surprised by the very “short“ attitude of the person who rang.
Service was efficient and reliable,as always.

Online ordering was easy. However, in my first contact with Chinasearch (Email dated 7th January), I did mention that I wanted to order Moss Ross T432. I thought this is what I was ordering when I did my online order, but the plates I received were indeed Moss Rose but not T432, which was a disappointment. However, the plates were acceptable.
Comment from Chinasearch:
Thank you for your feedback. If a pattern has been produced over a long period of time the backstamps can vary. It would result in a very large stocklist if we listed them all separately. We were not aware at the time that this number was significant as we have always listed and known this pattern as just Moss Rose.

Fair prices , but items ordered not received
Received 4 small saucers (possibly coffee) and not the two replacement tea cups and larger saucers ordered. On the plus side the prices were good and the items delivered useful

Thank you for your feedback. I am glad I have been able to speak to you today and sort this out for you.

All was good except for the packaging. A huge box was used for a little item. A padded envelope would have sufficed. Be more eco friendly. Thanks
Comment from Chinasearch:
Thank you for your feedback. Yes you are right, we will look at finding a better type of packaging for sending items of this size.

Faulty stopper
Good delivery

Two items ordered the same time arrived with a week difference between each other-
Comment from Chinasearch:
Thank you for your feedback. Due to the difference in the size of the items, one order was sent via Courier and one order via Royal Mail - small post which takes longer to arrive.
Comment from customer:
Having bought many times in the past from your site-I was used to receive the items all at the same time-thank you for your service.

I think your service is generally good but of the two saucers you sent me, one had a plain edge and the other had a wavy edge.... I’d asked for plain. I couldn’t be bothered to send it back, but now you’ve asked!!!!
Comment from Chinasearch:
Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry to hear we sent you 2 different saucers. We will get another plain edge saucer sent out to you. Please keep the incorrect one as a spare. Colours can slightly vary from batch to batch especially if a pattern was made over a long period of time like this one.

Average overall.
Photographs on the website were not fully illustrative of the the piece, in particular the pattern detail. However, the staff were good enough to offer a full collection and refund. Just a bit disappointed.
Comment from Chinasearch:
Thank you for your feedback. Apologies again as discussed that the photo did not show that the pattern was not continuous around top on this item as expected.

Needed side plates and tea plates also. Settings still not complete.
Still waiting for pieces. Presumably postage will have be paid a few more times if found separate. Would have been better if notified when all found.
Comment from Chinasearch:
Thank you for your feedback. We will let you know when we get more stock in. We are happy to only let you know when we have all the items you are looking for in stock. Normally we would alert you when any of the items come in so you don't miss out, you can then decide what you want to take at the time.
