Not happy. Not the first time I've had emails ignored by them and claimed never received so this time I also forwarded a copy of the last sent email, which was October 19th and it is now November... See more

DONT BOTHER

DONT BOTHER ! I *pre ordered* a funko pop from them in summer 2022, it’s February 2023 and nothing has ever been shipped. In my emails they kept saying that stock would come October 2022 and then nothing came so I emailed, now they’re just ignoring my emails. Literally scammers.

Company no longer trades

2 Pre-orders and no contact since orders were placed 6-8 months ago is enough to make the most patient/optimistic customer concerned. Lo and behold, patience and optimism has backfired spectacularly as the company is bust. No communication to advise of this downfall and orders left in limbo. Refunds about as likely as a certain largest-country-in-the-world's leader winning the blue-and-yellow flagged neighbour's man of the year award and just as likely to take responsibility for their situation as he is.

Pre-ordered a Funko last summer set to ship in October. In October they said it was delayed in January and I emailed them and received a reply from Scott who said everything would be fine. Now it's February and no order and no replies to my queries. Hoping I can get the money back somehow aNd Will contact my bank.

No delivery

No delivery, no customer service.
I placed an order with Sonner Toys over 18 months ago for an item that was on pre-order. Items have still never shipped, no response to any of my emails to their customer service requesting a refund, emails to sales just get a reply saying "contact customer service". Abysmal - avoid.

Avoid - Thieves!

Thieves. I preordered from them in June 2022 and received nothing - the expected fulfilment date came and went. The last message was from November and they've been ignoring me since, no offer of a refund. Have only discovered through these reviews that they have liquidised, despite their store still being live.

Report these scammers to Trading Standards - I have!

Buy elsewhere!!!

Awful company. Placed a pre-order with them in March of 2022 for two Pop figures. Kept a regular eye on their website for updates on release date. Shipping dates came and went. Got changed. Came and went again. Had no response from queries left via email. Discovered that the company has been doing this to other customers for an incredibly long time. Disgraceful and such a shame as the staff who worked the Salisbury store were always so pleasant and helpful. Shame. Frustrated beyond belief that I won't see a refund for the order and that I've missed out on the items I ordered.
If you're a new customer and are thinking of ordering from here (as their website is still active as of 22.01.2023) please, for your own sake, look elsewhere!

Pre-Orders Never Received, Emails Ignored - Terrible Company

Similar experiences to others. Two separate pre-orders just never arrived in stock, despite waiting almost a year past the estimated arrival dates.

Customer service eventually informed me via email (only after I opened a PayPal case) that this was due to ongoing issues with suppliers, despite the items being in stock with almost all other retailers.

A number of my emails have been ignored over the last eleven months, and when I finally got a response, I was promised a refund, which was never actually processed.

I've now got my refund from PayPal and am working with my bank on the other order; anyone with a pre-order, I'd advise you do the same.

I'm not surprised at all to read that Sonner Toys have gone out of business.

Order not received

Ordered funko pops for my son, back in June 22. Have only received 1 item, cost £11.99. The rest, altogether comes to £93.00. Have sent numerous emails, which to begin with they replied to & blamed undelivered items on their supplier. They kept promising they would get more deliveries, but 8 months later, still nothing!! Have asked for a refund twice now & no reply to these emails.
It is unbelievable that their web site is still up & running with no doubt unsuspecting customers falling into the same trap!
PLEASE DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY!!
Save yourself money & grief.

Initially good but then no contact

Initially good but then no contact.
I contact Sonner for an update on my order. Julia replied and was very helpful sending two out of four of my items so I could get them sooner. It has now been 12 months and I have not received the other two items and have been chasing for a refund since July 2021. I would not recommend Sonner or use again.

Buyer beware this company is not legit.

Ordered a black series Captain Rex in August 2021 ! As expected no reply to emails and they have now closed their shop in the cascades, Portsmouth so unlikely to have any joy now with a refund. Im going to trading standards and would advise all other disgruntled customers to do the same. This is basic theft and shouldnt be left unanswered !

Cut and run with all our money.

As with others, it's clear that the company has closed down, taking with them all our money. Harry-James Strevens, the MD, has a lot to answer for. Currently they own me £2184.65, and no sign of him responding to any emails, social media posts, or any other form of communication I can find. I've used this company for over 2 years now, with a total of 60 orders. I accepted the excuses of delays as I know what Funko can be like with their release dates constantly being pushed back. But it's clear that Harry has known for some time that he either couldn't fulfil the orders, or couldn't pay his customers back. I've heard the local press are possibly getting involved, and I, along with several others, are looking to get legal advice and possibly instruct a solicitor to reclaim the monies owed by Harry. Such a shame as well, the company started out great, but clearly that didn't last. Avoid at all costs, not just this company, but be wary of any company Mr Strevens opens up in the future.
