3 star service
The actual order was quickly and easily organised. The service by Chinasearch has always been efficient. However, this time there was a major hold up by FedEx. I have a Post Box delivery address and FedEx do not deliver to a Post Office.After several weeks of delays I managed to have the goods delivered to my residential address. Please do not use FedEx for Post Office addresses
Comment from Chinasearch:
Thank you for letting us know. I am sorry that the delivery did not go as smoothly as it should have done and glad you now have your order.

Unfortunately I needed a cereal bowl. The bowl was s soup/cereal bowl thus it was bigger than my bowls and the pattern was on the outside not the inside. I have kept the bowl but would still like a cereal bowl.
Comment from Chinasearch:
Thank you for your feedback. Perhaps you could let us know the width across the top of your bowl, as we think you may have the 5" noodle bowl which is patterned on the inside and plain on the outside.

Poor quality and expensive.
The quality of the plates was below what I expected. Expensive.

prompt but pricey
Prompt delivery but expensive and one item I later discovered, had a chip. I only needed three out of the four glasses luckily but their quality control needs improving.
Comment from Chinasearch:
Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry to hear one glass arrived chipped. We have now refunded you for this item.

Not as described
Description stated coffee cups which implied a larger cup. What was received were espresso cups. while lovely, they were not needed and it was too expensive to ship back to England
Comment from Chinasearch:
Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry you ordered the wrong cups. When this pattern was produced coffee was served in small cups after dinner. We do also give the measurements of the different cups if that helps.

Great service if you need to return an item
There was no problem with the quality of the product they sent or the delivery time, unfortunately it was just that they sent the wrong product. I contacted them immediately and they provided a great returns service.

Disappointed. The plate had several stain marks which I've not been able to
Should have said the product was stained
Comment from Chinasearch:
Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry you are disappointed with the plate we sent you. I can see the plate you ordered was in 'fair grade' which is our lowest grade and has more usage wear typical of regular daily use. Perhaps you could give us a call on 01926 512402 so we can sort this out for you.

One saucer was larger than normal. Tea cup handle was tiny. All somewhat disappointing... Old Chelsea.
Comment from Chinasearch:
Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry to hear you are disappointed with the items we sent you. I can see that you ordered the larger breakfast cup saucer rather than the tea saucer. Please contact 01926 512402 so we can sort this out for you.

Still waiting for Denbigh Midnight 8½ p;ates
As listed, still waiting for Denbigh plates
Comment from Chinasearch:
Thank you for your feedback. We are still searching for the Denby Midnight plates and will let you know when we find them. The Denby Imperial Blue was the nearest match at the time and as it is still a current pattern, we were able to order the plates in from Denby.

Some Disappointment
I bought two mugs; both were "new". One was in perfect condition. The other's handle is cracked at the top and bottom where it should join the body of the mug. It could have happened in transit since there is no glaze over the top crack, but it would have been better to see the glaze error or cracking in the description or photos. Every other part of the buying experience was perfect.
Comment from Chinasearch:
Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry you are disappointed with one of the mugs we sent you. Are you able to send a photo so we can sort this out for you?

Having received 1 broken bowl, although I was refunded, I was told that when they get another bowl in stock after a search, I would have to pay postage to get it delivered! Not impressed.
Comment from Chinasearch:
Thank you for your feedback I understand your frustrations. Next time we get one in please give us a call so we can make this right for you.

I ordered 3 best quality plates but 1 of them was second quality. I, therefore, had to email them about it with a photograph of the plate. Although I was compensated for this I did feel it spoilt what should have been an easy purchase.
Comment from Chinasearch:
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry that this was not noticed before dispatch and glad we have been able to sort this out for you.

Slow delivery
The delivery time was really slow took months to arrive nearly gave up
Comment from Chinasearch:
Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry this item took far longer to come in from the manufacturer than we first expected.

Frustration and wasted time.
Delays in delivery. Was given 4 different dates. They cancelled first three on same day, as was expecting delivery. Seemed to get stuck in St Jean de Vedas for 5days. Too much packing! Took me a while day to unravel it, so I could recycle it.
Comment from Chinasearch:
Our apologies for the inconvenience and frustration with the FedEx delivery, thank you for letting us know. Although the service provided by FedEx is out of our control it does reflect badly on us when things don’t go as planned, and so your feedback is much appreciated. It is good to hear that you have received your cups, and I will pass on your packaging comments on to our warehouse team.

Long delay
It took 6 months to fulfill my order, so that was 6 months you had my money! And communication was poor. The odd email occasionally would have been helpful.
Comment from Chinasearch:
Sorry that the Gio Side plates took much longer than anticipated. Both ourselves and Wedgwood were out of stock of the side plates at time of ordering, and although supply from Wedgwood is slowly improving after the last two years there are still occasional delays. We should have kept you better informed on the status of the outstanding items from your order, we apologise and hope you are now able to finally enjoy your Wedgwood set.

Once the plates were found it was fine, but it has taken a very long time to track down the plates.

Disappointing
I have had a 'wanted' list on Chinasearch for years, but I don't think they've ever come up with anything on it.They sometimes email with 'offers', only to find that they just have one item that's not competitively priced.
Comment from Chinasearch:
Sorry, we have not yet found your search requests. Some pieces are easy to find, others are not, but we do keep looking. Glad you have confirmed all your search requests with Kaye.

Reasonable service
The goods and delivery were very good, my only issue was with the six weeks wait for delivery from the factory

Disappointing
Main reason for rating is because of the length of time it took to locate and get my item. Plus, when I did finally receive it the quality was not on a par with my existing plates. Although it says it was V &B it was not bone china and the plate is thicker. Actually really disappointed after taking so very long to get it.
Comment from Chinasearch:
Many thanks for the feedback. After such a delay from Villeroy & Boch, and then to be disappointed by the product is incredibly frustrating. Thank you for speaking to Kaye and our apologies again.

Good service when you find something you want.
I recently bought a lid for a vegetable dish. It was luck that I saw it on your website. I had asked you to find one for me and you never notified me that you had one.
Comment from Chinasearch:
Thank you for your feedback. We had only recently had stock in, I am sorry that you saw it before we had chance to contact you. I am glad the lid fitted your vegetable tureen base.
