Last review about broken dishes, 2009, has the packaging improved?

I don't know as I did not order any more. It wasn't the packaging that was the problem, it was a defect in the bowls themselves. We just lost another one the other day. We're now down to 2.

I just received mine yesterday. The box was in perfect shape. Howevever, when opened, the tables edges were dented in 3 places.

I have had four sets of Spode Christmas tree dinnerware sent to Adelaide. There was one breakage in one set of 2 and another breakage in another set of 2, ordered on separate occasions. I could not arrange replacement of the breakages on line, so now have 15 place settings. One set, ordered in early December, 2011 arrived on Christmas Eve, a great surprise. For the second order I allowed 4 weeks to cover shipping, clearance of customs in Sydney and delivery. The settings look great on the table, are dishwasher safe and add to the festive feeling, as I use the sets for all meals in the pre-Christmas period. I recommend purchasing the dinnerware and risking minimal breakage. ET I have had four sets of Spode Christmas tree dinnerware sent to Adelaide.

I no longer have the packaging and it's not written on the bowl or the covers.

I have had no issue with the packaging. It's fine. They are very nice plates for any occasion. I loved them.

To tell you the truth, I only used these dishes for 2 years. I was very disappointed in the way the dishes looked with the silverware marks. I didn't get any kind of satisfaction when I contacted the company. I do not use these dishes any more....I had a service for 12..... I would buy these dishes ever again!

I don't remember what the box looked like-it has been a while. Still really loving the cookware, though.

I just received a box of these bowls are at least two of the bottom bowls are shattered. I attribute this to Amazon putting way too much faith in UPS delivery workers. First, both boxes I received today had been opened. There was no attempt to hide this, either. The tape was crumpled and pulled aside so that only the sides and bottom of the box was sealed. I have received damaged goods I damaged boxes from UPS and FedEx - boxes which clearly were damaged by the delivery company. Also, my box of dishes was damp on the bottom. The UPS worker opened my door without knocking (I live in a rural area and often this is more of a convenience than a disadvantage) and before I could even get up from the kitchen table I heard him drop the two boxes (little one on top) and drive away. Amazon provides a feedback page for delivery and packaging complaints. It's on your account page and the items are listed under "Open Orders". Even though the main fault lies with UPS, the manufacturer's box (in which the bowls were well-packaged) was inside a larger Amazon box which had a piece of packing paper about 5'x3'. This was clearly not enough as there was at least 6-10 inches of empty space in between the smaller box and the Amazon box in which it had been packaged. My smaller box of drinking glasses arrived with nothing broken and the it was ONLY shipped in the manufacturer's box. I wonder if the bowls would have done better just sent in the manufacturer's box because there is no way you can transport a smaller box inside a bigger box with no insulation and have the small box stay in its place.

I'm not sure, not being home now I can't look at one to find out. They are very nice dishes tho.

It came in the Kitchenaid box; howerver, the box had a little damage and I think it has probably been moved around due to refurbish.

I'm honestly not sure.. I have out my plates in the dishwasher many if times and have never broken... I'm sorry :(

Nope, I have not noticed this. I think the texture/finish of the plates are slick in nature and arrived this way.

Greetings! Well, I can't answer as to the condition of the packaging, but I can say we've had no problems with the item itself, so--if that's you're only concern--I wouldn't let it put you off ordering this great little table!

The 6 box case I ordered was from their warehouse store?? I used the in my goody plates around the holidays and they were still good into February. I did not have any trouble with them being stale or broken or anything. I was very satisfied. I just wish they had that deal again because it was a much better buy then the other prices I have seen available on Amazon.

I've had mine a while with no chips, but I'm not hard on them & don't have kids doing dishes. The small plates do crack in the microwave though. I had three of them pop right in half when warming something for just a couple minutes.

Yes. The packing has improved. None of the tart shells were broken upon arrival. Hope you have the same experience. P.S. By chance they are broken, contact Clearbrook Farms directly and they will replace them.
