Gorgeous vase shipped to the US perfectly

Shipped a gorgeous vase to a relative in the US - everything went perfectly, customs tarriff pre-paid; received in perfect condition:
"It arrived safely and was extremely well packaged."

It is worth noting that the recipient had no idea who the sender was, so that aspect probably needs attention.

Reply from 20th Century Glass

Hi, thanks for the great review! In regards to your last comment - if by the sender you mean me, then our return address was on the parcel twice. If you mean yourself, then your name and billing address is on the invoice that was included with the parcel. I put the invoice in the bottom, underneath all the packaging, so it doesn't get damaged when opening. Maybe they didn't look for it? Also, if sending a gift, you can always message us and ask us to include a note with the parcel. :)

Beautiful!

My small and beautiful vase arrived quickly and very well packaged. It was exactly as the images showed. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend using this company or to use them again. Perfection.

Shopping experience was great

Shopping experience was great - informative website with backgrounds and explanations of different glass types. I wouldn’t ordinarily order this kind of product online, but there was a bulk buy discount, free postage and it was dispatched and received really quickly. It was packed with such care, so they know what they’re doing! I thought the value of the glass I ordered was reasonable as well, and I found quite a few pieces that fitted with what i want to collect. I’d recommend and would use again.

DO NOT PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM THIS COMPANY

I have only given this company 1 star as unable to give no stars!
DO NOT PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM THIS COMPANY, l purchased a vintafe Nazeing glass bowl, what a disappointment.
My father worked at Nazeing glass for around 30 years and had a large collection of handmade glass.
None of my father's glass was in anyway misshapen but this bowl was .
Wayne the owner called it a slight deviation.
Rubbish! And so was his service.
The description on their website had NO MENTION OF A SLIGHT DEVIATION!
Will not be purchasing any other products from this company.
In response to this company's reply.
I am NOT an aggressive or rude person I AM AN HONEST PERSON.
I RARELY DO REVIEWS BECAUSE MOST TIMES I AM VERY HAPPY WITH MY PURCHASES.
AND I PURCHASE ALOT OF STUFF! INCLUDING ART AND ANTIQUES.
I ONLY GIVE A REVIEW WHEN I FEEL THAT I NEED TO.

The description on this glass bowl was NOT TOTALLY CORRECT, IF IT HAD BEEN I WOULD NOT BE UNHAPPY WITH THE GLASS BOWL .
This was purchased IN MEMORY OF MY FATHER (WHO HAS NOW PASSED AWAY) WHO WORKED AT NAZEING GLASS FOR AROUND 30 YEARS . this purchased was meant to be a happy one but was disappointing DUE TO THE DESCRIPTION NOT BEING CORRECT.

Reply from 20th Century Glass

This very rude and aggressive buyer complained that their vintage handmade bowl was not perfectly circular. As explained, and as any experienced collector would know, this is perfectly normal for hand blown glass.

Despite the bowl being exactly as described, the buyer was offered a refund on safe return of the bowl, which they declined. I can only assume they wanted to both keep the bowl and also have a refund. In 20 years dealing in vintage art glass I have never had such an abusive, arrogant and to be honest, clueless customer. They are now blocked from making further purchases.

Edit - I just checked this buyers history of leaving reviews. They have left a total of 20 reviews on Trustpilot, every single one of them a 1 star review, along with an aggressive rant. Says a lot about a person I think.

Murano Glass

Wonderful selection of original glass from Murano Factory we collect.
Recommend to anyone looking for great service, background information of pieces and follow through communication.
