Disappointing replacements
Searched the internet looking for replacement Denby White China Rice bowls purchased a few years ago. Found these bowls on Chinasearch website, they were described as "The Denby White Rice/Small Bowl is crafted from porcelain. Ideal for smaller desserts and breakfasts. Part of the White collection by Denby". What arrived was a thick grey bowl with Dendy stamped on the underneath and I suspect made in the Far East, disappointing!
Comment from Chinasearch:
Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry to hear you are disappointed with the bowls we sent you. These bowls are now made in Portugal. You are welcome to return them if they have not been used and still have their original stickers.

Question of authenticity
Royal Worcester, but made in China.
Comment from Chinasearch:
Thank you for your feedback. Royal Worcester is now part of the Portmeirion group. Unfortunately all the bone china is made abroad although much of the earthernware is made in the UK. If you would like to return these bowls please give us a call on 01926 512402.

Replacement Butter Dish Base
Product was as described on web, delivered as promised and well packed so there was no chance of breakage. Only problem was Parcel Force who don't appear to know what they are doing. Not Chinasearch"s fault.
Comment from Chinasearch:
Thank you for your feedback. I am pleased to hear the butter dish base arrived safely despite problems with Parcelforce.

Not happy as the price was too high.
There is no problem with the service and the packaging and delivery was excellent. However the mason breakfast cup was very much paler blue in colour to my existing set. So I was very disappointed as the price I paid should have been a much better match. It does show up now when I use the whole set. The price I paid was not in line with the product.
Comment from Chinasearch:
Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry to hear you are not happy with the cup we sent you. This pattern was produced over a long period of time and therefore there can be slight differences in colour if items are from different production runs. Please contact us on 01926 512402 if you would like to return this item so we can find a better match to your set.

Poor Service
You did not give the size so I bought the wrong one, and had t buy the right one elsewhere, at a much cheaper price.
Comment from Chinasearch:
Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry you are not happy with the jug we sent you. This is listed as 1/3pt, which is the capacity to the brim. This is the standard way manufactures measure jugs. Please contact us on 01926 512402 if you would like to return this item.

Wrong plate wrong colour wrong website photo misleading
Not the plate I was expecting. Glaze colour totally wrong. It is a dark olive green rather than the deep grey I wanted and that was pictured on the web site. Very disappointed.

Disappointed!
The saucer has a crack in it. The crack is not large, and it is at the rim. I thought that I was to receive an undamaged item. I've tried to photo the crack , without success. As the saucer is on a display shelf it's not noticeable to other persons.Thought of sending it back, but really could not be bothered with the hassle. Used you before - always been good. The crack is not easy to spot. Disappointed!
Comment from Chinasearch:
Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry to hear the saucer arrived damaged. We will get a replacement send out to you.

Great plates, the worst delivery ever
The plates are wonderful. Very good packaging. Unfortunately, the company works with the worst delivery. The delivery man did not come to my address at all, I understood from the tracking number that my package was left in some post office. First, I had to find out by myself exactly which post office the package was left in, then I had to carry a large and heavy box by myself over a long distance. I don't know why I paid for delivery, when I had to carry the box by myself walking the streets.
Comment from Chinasearch:
Thank you for your your feedback. Sorry for the awful delivery experience. We have checked the tracking and Parcelforce did not meet our expectations and let us down on this occasion. We have refunded the postage on this order.

Quality fine but incorrect size received
The plates which we had at home are the dinner plates but the new ones we received were smaller in size - very disappointing especially for the money that we paid!!
Comment from Chinasearch:
Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry to hear you are not happy with the plates we sent you. Please can you let us know the size of the plates you received?
Comment from customer:
They are both dinner plates but two different sizes. The original ones were 26.5cm and the ones received were 24cm so are not the same size. Disappointing as bought these for my mother in law who needed additional ones in her set.
Comment from Chinasearch:
Thank you for checking. Unfortunately we do not have any more of the 10 1/2" plates in stock at the moment so we will cancel and refund your order.

I was very disappointed that the one of the tea cups was a second. The second one was not perfect either.

You supplied the wrong item. It was very disappointing and I would not have chosen the bowl you delivered but decided to keep it rather than go to the trouble of packing it up and sending it back

The shipping and delivery was fine. Unfortunately the plate which was delivered had 2 major quality imperfections, it was the 3rd grade product. There is no possibility the packer did not see these faults when preparing the shipment. The shipping cost is much higher than the cost of the product, so I did not send it back.
Comment from Chinasearch:

Chinasearch need to check the inside of salt/pepper pots before selling
Speedy delivery and very well packaged. Luckily I had bought this pepper pot because I only needed a replacement stopper for an otherwise immaculate pepper pot that I have in the same set. If I had wanted the actual pepper pot I would have been very unhappy with both the pot and the 'good' rating that it came with. The outside of the pepper pot was okay - some light wear and tear but the inside of the pepper pot had not been checked and had clearly been stored outside for a very long time. After I had removed about 3-4 cms of dirt, bark, leaves and left to soak, the pot remained filthy internally (dirt was ground into chips) and would not have been safe or fit to use. Fortunately for me the pepper pot stopper eventually cleaned up okay but the actual pepper pot was not fit for sale!
Comment from Chinasearch:
Thank you for your feedback. We can only apologise that this was send out not in the condition it should have been in. Therefore we have now cancelled and refund this order.

Comment from Chinasearch:
Thank you for your feedback. We generally search for china that has a Manufacturer and pattern name on the back of the china as this is the only way we can be sure we are finding the correct design. You are welcome to send us a photo so we can check this for you.

China cups came, though they looked identical to originals set we have but they were significantly lighter in weight than originals and clearly imitations of original Johnson’s castles set cups which was disappointing.
Comment from Chinasearch:
Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry to hear you are disappointed with the teacups we sent you. If a pattern was produced over a long period of time there can be slight differences due to different production techniques. This pattern was produced from 1930 to 2003. Please let us know if you would like to return these items.
