I have bought many toys from Jaques
I have bought many toys from Jaques and have always been delighted. The toys are well made and well thought out. I am an early years teacher and their educational toys are perfect. From the moment the beautifully wrapped parcel arrives you know you are in for a treat. My granddaughter has loved everything so far!

Disappointing customer service
I have no issues with the products that I purchased but I do with customer service. I qualified for a free gift but didn’t see the box that had to be ticked until I paid. I emailed straight away but there was just a terms and conditions response of having to tick the box first. In my opinion, if you qualify for a free gift it should be added automatically. I feel the box was purposely unclear until purchase was completed.

Thank you for your review. I’m really sorry to hear that you felt disappointed with your experience, especially when you were expecting to receive a free gift. We understand how frustrating this must have been.
The free gift offer does require the item to be claimed at checkout, however we appreciate your feedback that this was not as clear as it should have been. We will of course pass this on to our website and marketing team to review, as we are always looking to improve the customer experience.
Thank you again for taking the time to share your feedback.

What a wonderful company
What a wonderful company! I’ve just ordered and received a selection of wooden toys for my new grandson. Everything is so beautifully made, and the packaging is a work of art in itself - lovely boxes tied with ribbons, with little storage bags inside and a note to say who packed it! Absolutely stunning!
