Temptations.....unreal....not happy

LdyBugz — Wed, 23 Sep 2020 20:29:27 GMT

I decided to take a chance again with this line because the set looked nice during the presentation. Well, four sets of these arrived today and they all have the same problem. The plate and crock lid are the same standard green. The crock however is an olive green. It looks horrible together. How can they sell stuff like this? I swore a while ago to never order from this line again after so many pieces breaking and paint issues. I can kick myself for not listening to my better judgement. 😡

I've never had this problem with Temptations. I'd be upset too. My colors always match and all the pieces are just lovely. I even gifted a set to a coworker when she got married. She loves it. Have you contacted Customer Service to get the olive green pieces replaced?

Glad I didn't order, as I thought about it. Sorry you had a problem.

My Mom bought me a set of three oval "bakers." I have the brown old world collection. The 3 bakers are all different shade of brown, faded brown. I didn't have the heart to tell my Mom, she was so excited to give these to me so I never returned them. That is the only ones that I have an color issue with. I don't have that much temptations. What I have a issue with is that some of them are cracking. Really deep cracks. If they should break or if I toss them, I won't replace them with more Temptations.

@liliblu Thanks. I'm just going to send it all back. I don't want to gamble on an exchange ending up with the same problem. Now I'll have to struggle with packing it all up and wrestling with the huge box, and then waiting forever for the credit to go through. Grrrr!!!

@ScrapHappy That's too bad yours had color issues, especially when it was a gift from mom! You would be smart though to not replace them if they break. That's why I stopped buying them. The only reason I caved on these is that I was't going to bake in them.

Makes you wonder what goes on in those factories these days, doesn't it? A matched set that doesn't match is pretty hard to accept.

How on earth could that have gotten thru quality control? Why would someone have actually boxed this up to send to a customer?

If QVC wouldn't show a set like that on air, then they sure shouldn't be sending it to a customer. I'm disappointed for you, @LdyBugz.

@LdyBugz I hope you mark them as defective. I don't remember Olive Green being offered in Temptations.

@novamc1 It sure does make you wonder!

@happycat Good question about quality control! And thank you for your nice, supporting post. I appreciate that!

@grandma2pkmh Most definitely marking them as defective!

@LdyBugz

That is totally ridiculous...I am having "buyers remorse" since I ordered the harvest set & a set of green.

They have not arrived as yet but they had these comparable crocks (same style) in Old Time Pottery today. The crocks were $3.99 and dish was $2.99. 😳. I'm sure they're seconds but I wanted them just to serve vs bake/put hot stuff.

I am really surprised at all the bad comments people are putting on Tara's FB page about breakage, crazing, etc...the posts seem to "disappear". Seems the last month they are more & more☹️

@homedecor1 Yes, it is ridiculous! I hope you have better luck with your order. Please give us an update after it arrives. Crossing my fingers for you!

I wish we had Old Time Pottery up here in MA. Looks like it is a fun store to shop in. 😀

WOW. I NEVER liked this product. Always thought they were cheap and cheap looking. Tara has some kind of "in" at QVC to be able to sell such a horrible product.

OMG! I have never bought Temptations although I have been tempted many times and this one almost got me. I thought it was a great looking set. So sorry that got sent. What was the packer thinking?

I came back to say I received my harvest soup set today. I was wrong with the ones in Old Time Pottery are no way the size of these!!!

They are deep & big -- tray very nice.

I had card party tonight and used them for dip and serving tray. They really are nicer than I expected ...now, waiting to see how the floral lace ones compare(haven't received yet).

@homedecor1 Oh that's good news that the harvest set is nice! I'm still crossing my fingers for your floral lace order. Thanks for the update! BTW, your table looks nice! 😀
