Your feedback was received and we are glad for the ratings you have given us as well as for your comments.
I want apologize for the slight delay we had about your refund. The fact is that your problem happened during the holidays when we close for our yearly vacation.
Unfortunately we have to issue credits only upon receipt of merchandise, and you package was received on Jan. 4th, 2005 and credit was issued the 10th of January... We were kind of backed up... Sorry, we definitely try to do better next time...  Thank you.

Comments: The Last Item Received, 1142-Vec, Had A Very Obvious Glazing Flaw On Its Handle.  The Spoon rest Looks Like A "Second." This Is Disappointing As The Spoon rest Was Intended To Be A Gift.  The Other Items I Have Purchased From You Are Lovely So This Last Piece Was A Total Surprise.
Customer Service:  
Comments: I Did Not Contact As I Do Not Think I Should Have To Pay To Return Obviously Defective Merchandise.  This Flaw Should Have Been Spotted In Italy Before It Was Shipped To You Or, At The Latest, Before You Sent It To Me.

Artistica's Reply: Dear Ms. Carole Steinbrenner:
Your feedback was received and we are glad for the ratings you have given us as well as for your comments.
We are really sorry for your unsatisfactory situation about the second spoon rest we sent you, and I wish you would have contacted us about this matter. There are NO shipping charges to “replace” a defective items.
Shipping costs are not refundable for returns like when you change your mind etc… We will gladly exchange your spoon rest 1142-VEC.
Unfortunately at this time that specific item is out of stock but we are expecting it by end of February 2005. PLEASE, give us a call; we could issue a replacement slip so that we can ship it to you as soon as it will arrive.
Upon receipt you will repack the defective one and we will arrange for FedEx to pick it up at no charge for you!
Because each piece of Majolica and Ceramic is individually crafted, you may notice slight variations in color and size.
Occasionally you will note fingerprints, paint smudges, and looseness of lids.
These variances should not be considered as imperfections, but as evidence of fine, hand-crafted work.

Looking forward to hear from you and make you a very happy customer!
 
Customer Follow up:
Thank you.  Sorry for the negative report.  As I mentioned I am thrilled with the first two items I purchased from you.. two items that were for me and my new kitchen.  That last spoon rest is to be gift.  I will call tomorrow to arrange a swap for a new spoon rest.  Again thanks.  I can wait to give the spoon rest until I have one that is in better shape.
 
Artistica's Reply: Dear Ms. Carole Steinbrenner:
We will be happy to assist you tomorrow when you will call.
Do not worry about your Feedback... We need both: the good and the bad in order to pin-point our shortcomings.
Looking forward to hear from you at your convenience.

Comments: The Base Color Of The Garofano Didn'T Match My Previous Pieces Of That Pattern That I Had Purchased Through The Ceramica Company.  That Garofano Had A Bluer Base Color.  Why Is That?

Comments: Very Efficient, And I Love The Fact That You Have Sale Items And Thought The Free Rooster Gift Pitcher Was A Very Nice Touch.
Artistica's Reply:

Dear Mr. Tim Hoover:
Your feedback was received and we are glad for the ratings you have given us as well as for your comments.
About the items that did not match your previous Garofano piece:
You purchased the previous piece from another company, which most likely buys from a different Italian vendor than ours...
Since these are all hand made items, every factory use a slightly different glaze.
Even the patterns are often different also because hand painted by another painter and unfortunately there no much we can do about it.
Although all of them are pretty similar, the distinctive patterns and different color tones is part of the characteristics of our ceramics.
Thanks for asking, an please do not hesitate to contact us for any further assist
ance.

Comments: When Reviewing The "Cart" There Is No Way To See The Picture Of The Item You Put There, So It Is Very Difficult To Find It Again.
Artistica's Reply:

Dear Ms. Corsetti:
About your "Seal" question:
Altough every single Artistica’s genuine product is clearly marked “Artistica- Made in Italy” or simply “Made in Italy”, we have recently initiate a practice to supply of our large “Home Décor” products with red wax-like seal  featuring our logo, name and the Made in Italy lettering.

Dear Ms. Christine Corsetti:

We are glad to inform you that, thanks to your feedback, this matter was SOLVED!
Although, for programming limitations, we were not able to show the pictures of the products in the cart, we managed to add a button (View Item), that will easily take you back to view that specific product!

We should have though about this before, but we definitely thank you for your feedback and we would like to sincerely thank you for your Feedback/Comment with this $20.00 "Thank You - Coupon."

Dear Ms. Pellizzari:
Your feedback was received and we are glad for the ratings you have given us as well as for your comments.
The replacement items was shipped to you immediately after our conversation on Feb. 22, 2005, and you should receive it either today or Monday.

The call tag to return your other items was mailed to you today and therefore you should get it within a few days.Please repack the wall plate using the SAME packaging it was shipped with, and attach the FedEx label on top of the original one.

We are sorry for this inconvenient and we look forward to receive your wall plate back to better understand the nature of the glazing damaged you complained.
As mentioned, because each piece of Majolica and Ceramic is individually crafted, is quite normal to notice slight variations in color and size.
Occasionally you will note fingerprints, paint smudges, and looseness of lids.
Most of timed, these variances should not be considered as imperfections, but as evidence of fine, hand-crafted work. CLICK HERE to learn more about Italian Majolica.

Thank you for your understanding and patience.
Sincerely,
Marco Margaritelli
