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.

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:

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.

Unfortunately we had to pay another €100.— for the purchase tax and then another €85.— for the import tax in Sweden. So my purchase was twice the price! No one informed me of this.
Comment from Chinasearch:
Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry you had to pay so much in customs charges. In the delivery information on our website, we do state for orders over 150 EUR the recipient of the goods is responsible for all customs formalities at importation and will be required to pay any additional charges, including import duty, formal customs entry, taxes, levies and other charges. Also, the full landed cost, including duties, taxes and charges, is estimated in the checkout with an option to pay estimated import charges and have the order served as Delivery Duty Paid (DDP).

The item I ordered from you was back in November was a Christmas present. Finally got it in March. Got a email that the item wouldn’t be arriving until next year. Was offered to cancel or wait for item. I chose to wait for item as my partner wanted the item. Few things I didn’t get was why you wait a few weeks to tell me it wasn’t coming until next year and why let people order if out of stock and especially if it’s not in this country. No offer of a discount. Just a unhappy partner. Got my brand new car quicker than your item I ordered and my came from Romanian!!
Comment from Chinasearch:
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry that we did not contact you sooner and the lead time for the item to come in from the manufacturer was significantly longer than we first anticipated.

The 2 royal worcester coffee cups are extremely small and frankly impractical, unusable! Less than a single shot. I could see the shape was different from my usual choice but I hadn’t appreciated how small! Now have two cups (with no saucers)
Comment from Chinasearch:
Thank you for your feedback. I can see that you have ordered breakfast cups from us in the past. Please let us know if you would like to return the coffee cups.

I was disappointed in the mugs I ordered. They are big and clunky. My fault I suppose but from the invoice I thought I was getting 3 and I only received 2.
Comment from Chinasearch:
Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry to hear you are not happy with the style of mug you ordered. I can see you ordered 2 mugs.

misleading
Would be improved by telling you before you buy that two out of the three plates you've bought have lost most of their colour probably due to being washed in the dishwasher.
Comment from Chinasearch:
Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry to hear you are not happy with 2 of the plates we sent you. Are you able to send us photos to [email protected] so we can have a look at them for you?
Comment from customer:
Wouldn' t be much point in sending them back from Holland so I shall let my grandchildren use them. Everything in their house goes in the dishwasher so their mother will be pleased.
