Portmeirion Botanic Garden Dinner Plates, Set of 6 Reviews
This was an order of a 6 plate set. Since even with 1 plate broken, the set was still a very good price, I decided to keep the remaining 5 plates, although I would have preferred a refund for that one broken plate or a substitute. They suggested instead that they would pay for the entire set to be returned, and give me a refund for the entire set. Amazon refused to either replace the plate or give me a refund for that one plate. One plate arrived broken.
I'd like to order these, but prefer a mixed lot so I can mix and match with other pieces I have in the same style. Were these shipments all the same pattern or were they mixed patterns.
The box had no. unsheltered box in a bigger box with packing insulation on one end to fill out the box. The return department people were very sympathetic and said they would have another set of plates shipped. Fortunately, no plates were broken. books. The plates are great. The plates arrived the day after Christmas, which was guite quick; however,. protective insulation on the top or the bottom.
We gave them to our daughter for Christmas. One of the plates were broken. they were packaged the same way as the first set. The shipping department should be trained better - they should be shown the difference between plates and. overnight, with better packaging. However, the plates were shipped in their.
At any rate, these plates feel good in the hand, have nice deep edges/rims to keep food from easily sliding out - a plus for living room eating. I am not even sure why my H&I set came Fed Ex, but I am glad because did not want to wait to use them. . I had the same situation, where one plate was crushed.
My replacements came packaged the same way, but this time all were in good condition. Cheers and enjoy. I wish there were more. No matter, just a tid-bit.
What a shame it is too, because I wonder what will happen to the rest of the plates when I return them. The illustrations are very well done too. Who knows I may be wrong, and living in Maryland, I am only going with what grows in this growing zone. I am into gardening, and it appears that the flowers on the plates are not typical here in the States, but for the peony.
i ordered the Holly and the Ivey set too earlier, and they came fine from Fed Ex, as did my replacement set of Botanicals, but the set of Bo's that had a plate crushed was USPS.
First shipment came within the specified time line, but the box was crushed and one plate was broken. Overall, nice service, nice plates. 4 Stars because they did not change the packing materials like I had suggested. They had already shipped the replacement order before I got the damaged goods in the mail at no charge to me (other than the gas to stop at UPS). New shipment arrived in a week. Within minutes of my phone call to Amazon (even in the late evening) I had an RMA and printed out the packing slip the next day.
