Not the Original Portmeirion Water Garden Series!
I placed an order for over $700 CAD, based on the premise that Chinasearch searches for, finds and sells vintage or discontinued pieces. This is what the website touts. To my utter dismay, I received recently produced, clunky, chunky Portmeirion pieces, in the Water Garden pattern, made in Bangladesh. The original pieces were made in China are much more refined. These do not match any of my current pieces, are ugly and available for way less money at Amazon.ca or Wayfair.ca. Had I known Chinasearch would be selling me items that are not from the original series in this pattern, I would have never ordered from the UK. So very upset and disappointed! Would it have been such a bother or difficulty to advise clients you are selling the new production stock that is made in Bangladesh, on your website? As a serious collector, how can I ever use your service again? I would give Chinasearch zero stars, if I could.

Damaged in transit
The China arrived chipped courtesy of ParcelForce with the package looking like it had been run over´ Despite this disappointment - a first - it won’t stop me from continuing to buy Spode Geranium Blue…
Comment from Chinasearch:
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry for any disappointment caused. We will let you know when we find another oval platter.

Very disappointed with the quality.
Delivery was fine but I was very disappointed with the plates. I wasn't expecting the quality to be anything more than 'fair' as advertised, but the plates I received appear to be rejects. The colours are pale, the glaze appears not fully applied and the weight and finish of the plates is very inferior to my originals (now almost 50 years old but still beautiful).
Comment from Chinasearch:
Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry to hear you are not happy with the plates we sent you. Sometimes there can be colour differences if items are from different production runs. Please call us on 01926 512402 if you would like to return these items.

Terrible service and no communication
Terrible service from Chinasearch - very rude lady on the phone when I chased my order after 4 weeks. At no point did anyone at Chinasearch tell me they had to order from Denny (it was showing on the site as available) which is the reason I was given for it taking so long. I could have ordered it direct and received it within a week, but Chinasearch took 16 weeks to fulfill! Anbsolutwly dreadful service and won’t be using again.
Comment from Chinasearch:
Thank you for your feedback. We can only apologise for your bad experience this time. After looking into it we have now refunded your order.

poor
Did not give a correct information so we bought china which not what we thought we are buying and due to personal circumstances I can not return as I can not go to the post office. Very poor sale on line
Comment from Chinasearch:
Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry that the cups were not as you expected. Please call us on 01926 512402 if you would like us to arrange a collection. We will let you know when we find the larger breakfast cups.

Disappointed & fooled by misleading website photo
It turned out not to be the item I wanted, which was the 8" serving bowl without a rim. The itemI was sent is just a sort of old fashioned soup plate. Unfortunately the photosthe item on the website was so poor I could not see the rim (I have good vision) and was fooled into thinking it was the serving bowl of similar size which I needed. Now I just need to find out how to return it, otherwise it will go to charity as it is of no use to me.
Comment from Chinasearch:
Thank you for your email. Sorry to hear you are disappointed with your order. We are updating older photos and can see that the photo does not match the description of the rimmed bowl. We will therefore cancel and refund the order and will let you know when we find the 8 1/4" serving bowl.

UN happy--review my last E- mail
Comment from Chinasearch:
I am sorry that this order did not go as planned for you; customs fees are never welcome. We do our best to give you information about your customs options when you check out, but I know this can still be hard to find your way around, and we're always working to make it better.

Our requirements were met !
Having logged in with Chinasearch some time ago (possibly six months?) we were delighted when their system contacted us to advise us that our specific requirements had been offered to them. We immediately agreed to accept their offer and the items duly arrived. Their system REALLY works so I am delighted to add our gratitude to Chinasearch

Not clear on website that it is a copy and not a very good copy either.
Comment from Chinasearch:
Sorry you are unhappy with your order, if you wish to return your order please give us a call. Your feedback is really helpful, we do not intentionally sell copies. Susie Cooper collections were made over 4 decades and with her joining Wedgwood in the 1960s many collections were produced with different marks. In this collection there were at least 3 marks used, the earlier Susie Cooper Signature, the Member of the Wedgwood Group and the later Black Urn. We will look to improve these descriptions to make our website clearer. Thank you again, and hope to speak soon.

No saucer with cup
Comment from Chinasearch:
We do sell tea cups and tea saucers separately, so that individual pieces can be replaced as needed. Sorry you didn’t spot this when you ordered; please call us on 01926 512402 if you wish to return the cup.
