Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Oneida Colonial Boston 20-Piece Stainless-Steel Flatware Set, Service for 4
Customer Review: Bait and Switch at its best!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought a set Colonial Boston MANY years ago and have been EXTREMELY happy with the 'Original Set'. As you can see from the images I've added, I STILL have many of the original documents. The original 18/8 Set has served my daughters and I well over the years. It's design was perfect. Simple to hold for kids, No sharp edges other than the fork points, and no fancy, pertruding designs. REALLY, they are perfect.
But over the years some spoons and forks have disappeared. To the rubbish with frozen dinners I suspect. Only one that ran ever returned, but it was injured beyond repair from it's fight with the garbage disposal. This is when I decided to 'refill' the set. I was happy to find they were still in existance and picked up a set of 4. The differences were slight but noticable. The writing on the back. The bend in the forks. The joint of the knives. But what REALLY made them noticable, was when they came out of the dishwasher with rust spots. I didn't want my kids putting cheap, rusty silverware in their mouths. It took me a while to find out what had happened, and as others mentioned, it was Onieda's 'Bait and Switch' tactics. I was duped into the purchase of the immitation 18/0 set as well.
If a liar lies only 1% of the time, are they not still a liar? Oneida may not have done this with EVERY set, but they did it to the one I own. This immitation of the original Colonial Boston should NEVER have been called 'Colonial Boston' Or 'Minute Man' (a name this set was also known as at times). If anything, MAYBE Colonial Boston II. Still deceptive, but at least they would have told of a difference. The way it is now, it's pure deception.
I DO still love my set, and believe it's the best design and quality for a family. But I would NEVER purchase from Oneida again. My kids have heard me enough, so I doubt they will buy Oneida either...
To the person putting down Amazon, I disagree with you. They don't control the Products descriptions and Deception done by companies such as Oneida, But at least they allow purchasers to fairly display their concerns through these reviews. I feel it may affect selling prices, but I see less manipulation by Amazon on good and bad reviews that other sites who seem to only show positive reviews... Kudo's to Amazon!!!
I did my searches, and I found someone who sells individual pieces on a bay and I was able to get some in GREAT condition, matching my existing set perfectly and out of the ones I got there, only one was not labeled 's.s.s.'
Buyer Beware!!
