Cedarandtinco Opiniones 

Please avoid falling for the various AI-generated adverts & the site. Customer product reviews are supposed to look like genuine Trustpilot ones, using the star system - but they don't exist on Trustpilot. This has been reported.

This company is purporting to sell various 'craft items' made in the UK, with very low production runs/'only stock left' - as every business 'is closing'. Even though items are supposed to be UK-produced & shipped, the ONLY returns address is in China.

Following research, some of the featured businesses don't exist at their reported locations, or the address simply doesn't exist. The parent company has a UK-registered address; it has been reported to the UK authorities because it is misleading customers. Products currently offered are: 'Rain chimes'; rucksacks; woven bird houses - there are others.

Thank god I'm savvy enough to always come here first before I bought a hand crafter cat lamp for my mum's birthday present!!

This is a con. This company send cheap plastic rubbish, not wood or whatever they claim. They are well known as scammers, but I only found out the hard way after ordering 2 hand carved wooden birdhouses for over £80 which included a £10 tip for the pensioner who 'carved' them. DON'T LET IT HAPPEN TO YOU. THEY ARE THIEVES.

"Alan's last rucksacks" is a scam. I was taken in by a convincing story about an elderly man who has been producing handmade rucksacks for the last 40 years, and the building he worked in had been sold to convert into luxury apartments. I decided to buy one of his "last remaining stock" using PayPal but got a pop up message saying there was a problem with PayPal please use another method of payment - instant red flag, so did a search on this company and found all these negative reviews which confirmed my suspicions. It's concerning that they can get away with posting these elaborate stories in order to fool the buying public.

The advertisment is just one more in the long line of scams advertising mass produced Chinese rubbish. When will Government agencies step in?? To stop all these. What is Trust Pilot doing about them?

I have ordered a bird feeder lady. My boyfriend has just had a so called wooden bird house, which has never seen wood only cheap and nasty material that is pre moulded. I am holding out no hope for this item and certainly won't expect it to have seen bronze.
Another scam from the Chinese.
BEWARE

I may have awarded a one star rating, that is because I cannot give this company anything lower. All I can positively say is this company is a SCAM....

DO NOT ORDER THE "HAND MADE WOODEN BIRDHOUSE"...RESIN!!!
CHEAP AND NASTY. NOTHING LIKE THE ADVERTISED PRODUCT BY THE ELDERLY MAN SUPPOSEDLY RETIRING.
DARENT RETURN IT, AS I DOUBT I'LL GET MY MONEY BACK!!! SCAM!!!

CedarAndTin Co. is a big con; the so-called solid wood "Bird House" is some sort of plastic and is probably made in China, definitely not carved, and due to its depth, no good as a bird box. Sadly, I have been caught out at 89 years old.PS: After saying I was going to Citizens Advice for advice, they have offered 35% refund, but still insist that if I want all my money back, I have to post to Hong Kong, when there is a UK returns address on the packaging.

The item was NOT as described. It was a complete scam. Please do not be tricked as I was ....do not buy from this company

**MISLEADING ONLINE ADVERTISING IS COSTING US MORE THAN MONEY**

I recently paid £119 for three birdhouses from cedarandtinco.com. After becoming concerned about the seller, I requested cancellation and a full refund.

The experience has made me question something bigger: how much damage does misleading advertising do to confidence in online shopping?

Adverts featuring charming workshops, skilled craftspeople and supposedly handmade products encourage us to believe we are supporting independent makers. If those claims are misleading, customers lose more than their money. They lose trust.

There is nothing wrong with selling mass-produced or imported goods—provided the description is honest. Tell us what the product is made from, where it comes from and what we can realistically expect.

Genuine craftspeople suffer too. They must compete against persuasive stories and attractive photographs, then face the suspicion left behind when buyers feel deceived.

Advertising platforms should take greater responsibility for investigating misleading adverts and acting on substantiated complaints. Customers should not have to become detectives before buying a garden ornament.

My advice: check independent reviews, save the advert and read the return policy—including the return address—before paying.

I am sharing my concerns and have requested my money back. I will update this post with the seller’s response and the outcome.

**Honest sellers deserve our business. Customers deserve honest advertising.**

If you have bought from this website, please share your own factual experience: what you ordered, what arrived and how the seller handled any problem.

Please share to encourage others to check before buying.

Yes, definitely a scam, and I fell for it. Ordered a "hand made" cat lamp for my wife. The next day I had a niggle in my mind and googled "cedar and tin scam" and there it was. They are passing off mass produced Chinese crap for homemade goods. I contacted my credit card company while the payment was still pending. Nothing they can do until the payment goes through, then they will deal with it. Goods not as described. No idea yet whether the goods will arrive or if the credit card company will refund me.

I clicked on an advert for a 'Handmade Pentatonic Tuned Steel Drum' It told the story of a female blacksmith in Cumbria, handmaking and tuning these craft items.
IT'S ALL LIES, THEY ARE MASS PRODUCED IN CHINA and sent all around the world through false advertising. Have a look at their returns policy, all items must be RETURNED to Guangzhou, CHINA.

This is a scam. I always complain that my wife asks me if I checked reviews. Wish I did this time.
Their products are Chineses made crap. Not - as they state in their SCAM website - hand crafted by artisans.
It is ALL BULLSHIT.
Luckily I used my AMEX card to buy this and they will advocate for me in my dispute. They will ship a POS item from China and end up eating the cost.

This company is not trustworthy statutes i received 5 in tall 2in width and they also go under the name meadows and makers and will probably open under another because of bad reviews 10/15/26 u will get scammed

This Ad popped up on my Google feed. Having been scammed by a Facebook advert for similar “handmade lamps”from another company I checked TrustPilot - should have done that the first time - instead of glass lamps with a lead and plug, I got resin tea lights with built in battery. Package came from China and was valued at $6 on import label. Still have them to remind me not to be so stupid again!

I got an ad for handmade bee blossoms on YouTube and noticed that the entire ad was AI generated and the woman called “Bev” was not real. This is a scam website and none of the photos displayed of products are real. Every photo and video is AI generated and the products are dropshipped from China. All the positive reviews on the website are also fake and AI generated, including the photos in reviews. Beware!!

I would prefer to give them no stars. The handwoven woollen 7 cats mat has a painted plastic feel to it. I can't give it as a birthday gift as it is too poor quality..

Realised too late what a SCAM this site is.

Same product - with sob stories - one made by "Alan - Holbeck - Leeds" - the other by Warren - Brunswick - Melbourne !

Disputing with Credit Card co and SHOP - should really remove their SHOP Website

Attempted to contact to cancel order as not sent - we'll see what happens

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY
Goods never arrived in spite of them saying they are using Royal Mail
Very poor communication
I’m afraid I have been scammed as have may others reported on Trust Pilot too
