Plate more worn than description led us to believe
They described the condition of the plate as good. But when it arrived, it was very crazed. I decided to keep it even so, but was disappointed. We have had better service in the past.
Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry to hear you were disappointed with the plate we sent you. We grade items as very good, good and fair. This plate was grated as fair which means it would have more usage wear and may include some crazing. Please contact us on 01926 512402 if you would like to return this item.

Black spot at the bottom of the milk jar
There is a clearly distinguishable black spot (a grain of sand?) at the bottom of the milk jar. This should have been mentioned in the description.
Thank you for your feedback. We grade as Very Good, Good and Fair. This jug was graded as Fair. This grade includes items that do not meet our Very Good or Good grading criteria and would include a mark like this.

Disappointing
The item received was dirty but after an email and phone call I received an apology.
I know the items are used but the least I expected was it to be well washed and perfectly clean, especially as it was an item for food serving.
Thank you for your feedback. Items are checked and washed before sending out. We can only apologise that this did not happen in this instance.

Overall high quality
The company you use to make the delivery lied about trying to deliver the parcel.
The platter was lovely larger than expected
Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry the delivery of your order did not go as smoothly as planned.

Receipt of plates
It was great to receive the plates in such good condition but it has taken a long time to receive them with no information about my other requests.
Thank you for your feedback. We are still searching for other items in this pattern and will let you know when we find them.

Hard to hold when full.
Delivery and packaging were excellent.
Teapot is attractive but difficult to hold when full.

Midwinter spanish garden plates
It is nice to be able to get replacements for Midwinter Spanish garden, which is my every day china. I have had it for 57 years, and am now too old to start afresh with something new. I would say that the plates I got, the time before last, were of middling cost, and did not last, as I put them in the microwave to heat them up and they split. The latest I paid the full price. Also modern plates tend to be heavier, which I do not like, and these ones are lighter.
Thank you for your feedback. I am glad we have been able to help you with the Spanish Garden. We would advise that it best to have food on the plate when using them in a microwave otherwise with no moisture they are liable to crack.

Once you found the style of jug I wanted to replace in plain white, everything went well. The original pattern was oranges which was bought in 1970 and has not been available new for years, though we once picked up a load second hand about 20 years ago.
If you ever are offered pieces of Thomas Medallion Oranges, please let me know as I might be interested.
[email protected]
Thank you for your feedback. We have not come across a Thomas pattern with orange fruit on. The only orange ones we have found have orange and red bands and pinwheel orange. Are you able to send a photo? our email is Feb 20th

Is the lid a mismatch?
Everything to do with the delivery went very well. I'm not convinced that the lid is correct for the item because if you don't hold it when pouring it will fall off. The retaining lip under the lid is too small to hold the lid on.
Thank you for your feedback. The way lids fit can vary from pattern to pattern. The coffee and teapot lids lids in this particular range do tend to be a looser fit and would need to be held in place when pouring. Please call us on 01926 512402 if you would like to return this item.

An idea to perfect your service
A suggestion for you based on comment from the recipient of the bowl I asked you to send her.
She didn’t know who had sent the gift.
May I suggest you have a ticket you stick on the outside of the package with words to the effect “this item was ordered by…” followed by the name of the purchaser.
She is very pleased with it and it arrived quickly. I had told her she had a gift coming from me but was keeping detail as a surprise.
Maybe you could also offer gift wrap inside the outer layer at a charge of course,
Thank you for your suggestions. We do not have this facility on our website at the moment but can see it would be a useful addition in the future.
In the meantime, if you send a gift again we are happy to put a note in the box for you.

Underwhelming item
Did not think quality assessment reflected the actual item. Especially in regards the item price.
Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry to hear you are not happy with the plates we sent you. Please call us on 01926512402 if you would like to return them.

I was so glad to get the four teacups but have hoped for years for other key pieces from the Lancaster production. They were beautifully packed. But I am still hoping after several years for side plates and cereal bowls but they never seem to appear. I think there is still quite a lot of Lancaster in circulation unlike Gloucester, the best of all, for which I have only found pieces in the United States. I will never understand why the manufacturer stopped production of this elegant and single-coloured (so a much simpler procedure) design.
Thank you for your feedback. We will certainly let you know when we find the plates and bowls.

Good service but may receive a “second” of which unaware on ordering
Good ordering and delivery service. Received the items I ordered. Bu the entree dish is very clearly a second made of very thick ‘clay’ and does not match the three remaining one I have after the fourth was broken. Disappointed
Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry you are not happy with one of the items we sent you. This pattern was produced over a long period of time so this item may have been a from a different production run with different production methods. Please call us on 01926 512402 so we can sort this out for you.

Extremely late delivery, the company could have been more proactive in informing me of the reason for the delay
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry that your order took longer to come in from the supplier than first anticipated. This item was not available in the UK so had to be ordered in from the factory overseas which caused the delay. I am sorry if this was not communicated to you.

Packaging needs to be improved
My plate was sent out quickly and arrived in good condition.
However, the packaging was not adequate and had been torn. There was no protective packaging around the plate either. It was only secured between a very thin sheet of transparent plastic and a piece of thin cardboard at the base of the box with several empty inches above it. Fortunately it was undamaged. The box did not say Handle with care or Fragile on it to alert the courier to take care with it.
Thank you for your feedback. I am glad to hear your order arrived safely. We pack in different ways according to the items we are sending and the size of the order. Unfortunately adding fragile tape doses not ensure the parcel is handled any differently. Small items like side plates are often sent using this retentive style of packaging which has proved very successful.

Wasn’t notified but bowls in great condition
Had registered for search but wasn’t notified that they had come into stock, found them on the website myself by chance = bowls in fab condition though
Thank you for your feedback. I am pleased to hear you are happy with the bowls we sent you. We had recently received some stock. We do try and notify customers as soon as we can that we have found the items they are looking for. I am sorry we were a bit slow in this instance.
