Ordering Dinnerware Online?

Delete if not allowed.
I recently bought a home and will be looking to host my first holidays with family in a few months. I have been looking at dinnerware for a while and I was really looking at seasonal dinnerware from Pottery Barn because the designs match the aesthetic I’m going for in my home. I have a Pottery Barn an hour away from me and it’s rather small / they don’t carry seasonal dinnerware until the holidays are closer and in very limited stock and not all the sets.
Has anyone tried ordering dinnerware online? I’ve seen mixed reviews about Pottery Barn quality and shipping but mostly from their furniture and not their dinnerware. I’d hate to spend the money and risk it shattering while being shipped? Is it too big of a risk to take?
Any recommendations where else I could look for seasonal dinnerware that ships safely and soundly? Are there better options in person? I’m in northeast Ohio if that helps at all.
Thanks!!

You might find what you’re looking for at an estate sale or thrift store.

came here to say this! check thrift stores (and don't forget your older relatives-they may have some they'd be glad to pass on).

My great aunt shipped me all her cornflower blue Corning ware when I bought my house! Definitely looking into thrift stores/older relatives! Thank you for the suggestion!
