Sticky Labels & Glazed Surfaces Don’t Mix
Descriptions generally accurate; items well-packed. But baffled by the practice of putting abundant stickers & tape on surfaces (some were even on the decorations). They left stubborn residues that could not be removed by mild detergent or light oil; when they could be peeled off, some of the glaze was stripped off. Very disappointing.
Comment from Chinasearch:
Thank you for your feedback. That doesn't sound right. Please give us a call so we can sort this out for you.

We got an extra invoice on tax and VAT that we where not aware off, this made the deal a lot less lucurative and I do not understand why we have to pay taxes on used goods? At least we should have gotten a clear notice about this!
Comment from Chinasearch:
Thank you for your feedback. Sorry to hear you got caught out this time these charges are out of our control and are payable on all exports. We do estimate these charges at the checkout with an option to pay upfront.

Useful if it yields results
I value the facility for them to search for the China for me but I have received no notification that they have or haven’t found the items yet, I think their prices are high.

I'm pleased with the overall condition of the sugar bowl but less happy with the lid which is not a good fit and rattles when the bowl is lifted. I appreciate your good packaged which ensured the bowl arrived without any mishaps.
Comment from Chinasearch:
Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry to hear you are not happy with the sugar bowl we sent you. The way this is designed means there there can be some movement in the lid. Please let us know if you would like to return it to us.

A little disappointed
Service ok but the storage jar had a really poor seal. Thus should have been pointed out. It is important for storage.
Comment from Chinasearch:
Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry to hear the seal is not very good. Please can you call us on 01926 512402 so we can sort this out for you.

Would think again before ordering
I thought your delivery of a item took too long I have been waiting over a month and it still hasn’t arrived!!!!
Comment from Chinasearch:
Thank you for your feedback. I am glad the Fleur teacup arrived safely. Your order for the Trend has now come in from Thomas and will be dispatched shortly.

Expectations not totally fulfilled
Timing was poor. By the time I had received email and shopped on line the larger plates had already been sold!

Delivery issues
The last two orders were delayed due, I understand, to problems with the manufacturer. Whilst this is in no way Chinasearch’s fault, there was an absence of communication from the company which was very annoying. Only after resorting to a carefully worded email of complaint, on my behalf, was a response forthcoming. I will say that due to the concerns expressed by the Chinasearch employee in their response, coupled with a history of excellent service, I will certainly use them again. I can only hope by then they have appropriate systems in place to update customers on any delays!
Comment from Chinasearch:
Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry that delivery of your orders took longer than first expected and that communication will be better in the future.

Wrong design sent but good product
The cake slice was good but the wrong design was sent (mallard duck rather than the white duck I ordered). I ended up getting the original recipient of the gift something else and we gave it to a different person. Was just a bit of a pain but still a very good quality product.

Are Chinasearch behind the ridiculous eBay "auction" which I suspect was a complete sham? Or are they two separate organisations both selling on eBay?
Comment from Chinasearch:
Thank you for your feedback. I can see that you placed an order on our website. If we can help you in any other way please call us.

Good enough
The plates arrived promptly, were very well-wrapped and are fine. However, they are G - good condition - and I ordered VG - very good. The email receipt just gave the amount charged, so I didn’t pick up on the mistake until too late. I am keeping them, but will be careful to check and double-check next time.
Comment from Chinasearch:
Thank you for your feedback. The G on the picking note refers to Green, the colour of the sticker on the china. This denotes it is in very good condition and is so the warehouse knows which grade to pick. The invoice we send is in 2 parts, one shows the amount paid and the second part information on the items purchased.

Mr Raymond Lomas
Hoping for better communication
Well I was initially impressed as I was looking primarily for cups to supplement our old breakfast set. The promise was that a search by China Search would throw up some cups, but all we have received we’re two saucers that we also wanted but no reports on the cups!
Comment from Chinasearch:
Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry for any confusion caused. I understand my colleague spoke to Mrs Lomas today to explain how the search works. We will certainly let you know when we find the breakfast cups.

Good straightforward product and service.
Good product well wrapped and accurately described. Expensive and a little slow on dispatch.

Delivery of item ordered was fine. However, I had problems changing my search, thought I'd managed to change it, and then had email asking me to confirm search for both what I now wanted and what I don't now want
Comment from Chinasearch:
Thank you for your feedback. There are 2 versions of this pattern. One has a thick line round the top of the cup and one a thin line. You were on for both versions so this may have caused the confusion. I can see you have had the thick line in the past, we will know when we find these cups.

Extremely long delivery time
Order was great, packaging was fantastic but 6 months delivery time is off putting.
Comment from Chinasearch:
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry that this order too far longer than first expected. Waiting for Noritake to do another production run and then delays through customs added to the delay.

The packaging was great, but a crack in one of the cups disappointed.

Straightforward order process for a product which is not widely available.
It took a very long time to deliver my order. This may be because of the difficulty of getting the products from Germany in the first place, or the need to wait until there was a big enough collective order to put to the manufacturers. Could have been explained, though.
Comment from Chinasearch:
Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry your order took longer than first expected. Unfortunately because of the change in customs orders have been taking longer to come in from Germany.
