Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 931 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many people were dissatisfied with their orders, reporting that items never arrived or were incorrect. Consumers also had significant issues with products, noting that they were not as described or of poor quality. Furthermore, many struggled to receive refunds, with promises often unfulfilled. Reviewers frequently experienced problems with delivery services, citing delays and lost packages. Communication was also a major concern, as many found response times to be slow or non-existent, especially when trying to resolve issues or request refunds. Conversely, a small portion of people felt satisfied with their purchases, noting that products arrived as described, were well-packaged, and that the delivery process was smooth and timely.

DO NOT PURCHASE

DO NOT PURCHASE - I received the wrong item and have sent multiple chase up emails regarding receiving the item that was paid for, I have also requested for a contact number so I can speak to someone in person and this hasn’t been provided. This was purchased early May 2025, and still no resolution in September! Anyone else experiencing the same issues, please contact Trading standards and Watchdog. Unfortunately, this company is a scam.

To get a refund

To get a refund - contact your bank and use all your details/ proof of delivery, reviews on here etc to claim your money back!
Company asks for bank details - don't give them! Just go through your bank!!!
Managed to recover funds of item we ordered months ago! Scam company!! Stay clear

Its a scam.

Its a scam.
I ordered a kids game from june 2025 and 3 months later i received nothing, nor able to get update about shipment or tracking, terrible communication.
Imagine a toddler not getting a game in 3 months, their age category change and the game is no longer suitable.

You can only email and youll get an unhelpful customer service who will try buy time and reassure but there is no tangible guarantee.

There is a refund process, but the customer service is unlikely to help with that, nor there is a
Obvious process to follow.

This is a scam company, no body should deal with.

Scam site!

Do not believe any of the 5* reviews. I ordered a playmat from this company in July and after waiting was told it was on its way and then 'delivered'. When I contacted them to say nothing had arrived and I wanted a refund they went silent on me. So frustrated that I didn't check their reviews on here first.

They continually lie to you saying they will investigate why the items haven’t arrived. I had to go through my credit card company to get my money back.
