Customer Reviews of Portmeirion Botanic Garden Dinner Plates, Set of 6
Customer Rating:   Summary: 5 out of 6 Comment: This was an order of a 6 plate set. One plate arrived broken. Amazon refused to either replace the plate or give me a refund for that one plate. They suggested instead that they would pay for the entire set to be returned, and give me a refund for the entire 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. Customer Rating: Summary: Question? Comment: Were these shipments all the same pattern or were they mixed patterns? 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. Customer Rating: Summary: Plates great - shipping grates! Comment: The plates are great. We gave them to our daughter for Christmas. However, the plates were shipped in their unsheltered box in a bigger box with packing insulation on one end to fill out the box. The box had no protective insulation on the top or the bottom. One of the plates were broken. The return department people were very sympathetic and said they would have another set of plates shipped overnight, with better packaging. The plates arrived the day after Christmas, which was guite quick; however, they were packaged the same way as the first set! Fortunately, no plates were broken. The shipping department should be trained better - they should be shown the difference between plates and books. Customer Rating: Summary: wonderful plates Comment: I had the same situation, where one plate was crushed. What a shame it is too, because I wonder what will happen to the rest of the plates when I return them. My replacements came packaged the same way, but this time all were in good condition. 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! 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! 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. The illustrations are very well done too. I wish there were more! I am into gardening, and it appears that the flowers on the plates are not typical here in the States, but for the peony. No matter, just a tid-bit. Who knows I may be wrong, and living in Maryland, I am only going with what grows in this growing zone. Cheers and enjoy! Customer Rating: Summary: Portmeiron Plates, nice service Comment: First shipment came within the specified time line, but the box was crushed and one plate was broken. 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. 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. 4 Stars because they did not change the packing materials like I had suggested. Overall, nice service, nice plates. More Reviews Designed by Susan Williams-Ellis in 1972 Botanic Garden is a ground breaking pattern, over 30 different flowers adorn the collection. Each plate and cup in the patterns is produced in a variety of different flowers and the whole mix and match pattern is unified by the unique drawings, flitting butterflies and distinctive leaf border. Oven-to-table, microwave, dishwasher and freezer safe porcelain. 
Choosing Appliance -> Mixer Pretty much the same thoughts as the food processor. High quality mixers are great for making bread or other tough jobs. Every kitchen should have one. Be sure that any mixer has all three attachments: paddle, dough hook, and whip. Also, find a spot on the counter where it can be easily accessed at a moment's notice. Choosing Appliance -> Hobs If you enjoy eastern cuisine, you can buy a speciality hob with a wok burner. Similarly if you are a BBQ fan, choose a BBQ grill. If you are left handed, go for front rather than right hand side controls as this eliminates the risk of reaching across the heat. If you cook for a large family, more than four rings may be useful, and if you have young children it may be worth considering paying a little extra for a hob guard or in the case of gas, choosing an automatic re-ignition or cut off device should the flame blow out.
