A praise for chinacraftwork online store

by dangert » Feb 5th, '10, 04:25

I am exchanging emails with Louis from chinacraftwork.com for quite a long time, but I haven't bought anything from hist store. In one of my last emails, when discussing Louis offering I have added a link to one of the Dragon Tea House teapots, saying it is another one I am considering. I didn't ask for his opinion, but in a return email Louis suggested that I should get the teapot from Dragon Tea House since the clay is better.

I think the honesty and integrity of Louis deserve a high praise and I wish other merchants behave the same way as Louis. Way to go!

This post wasn't about teapot comparison, but about honesty and integrity. I don't agree that Louis pots are "average" and craftsmanship on some of them is really beautiful. If your question was phrased differently I would share more information.

Pouvla didn't say the quality of chinacraftwork's pots were average, only that the prices seem slightly higher than DTH.

Sorry Pouvla, my mistake. Probably late hour :D. I was comparing equally priced teapots ($99), http://www.chinacraftwork.com/yixing-teapot-p-192.html and http://cgi.ebay.com/80s-Yixing-No-1-Fac ... 35a695e511.

dont worry, my post was also written late at night ;)

seems like a really nice vendor then, I do love when they think about their customers and not just the money we pay them - usually only happens in small companies.
I also love getting order confirmations emails from funalliance (Kam) as he puts a few smilies in there, makes it much more personal than some computer generated email.

also a small thanks to chicagopotter for clearing up the misunderstanding :)
