Love love love!

My daughter has been obsessed with her new personalised boucle chair. The quality of the product is unreal; super soft and cozy. Mummy wishes there was an adult size too ☺️

Beautiful Playmat and Gym

Ordered the cushioned butterflies and flowers Playmat and play gym for my newborn. She absolutely loves it. It’s such a beautiful looking item and clearly good quality. A couple of weeks from ordering and it was delivered but that’s expected as it does explain delivery times on the website. Thank you, would definitely order again.

2 great experiences so far

I have ordered twice from mimibear now. The first time the order did take 6 weeks to arrive, but I was made aware it could take this length of time when I was placing my order, due to suppliers. I did send an email approaching the 6 week mark (to double check the order as I was excited to recieve it) and the team were very quick to respond with an update for me! The second time delivery was a lot speedier which was a lovely surprise as I expected it would be longer as it contained a pre order item (our beloved cappuccino Moonie bear!) so that was great! Both times the parcels have come very well packaged to protect the items and the products themselves are lovely quality! I would definitely order from here again!

Disgusted

I wouldn’t have the words to describe what this site has put me through.
I ordered stuff in English money and it came to about €200 euros.
I would strongly advise against using this site.

Hi,

I feel this is VERY unfair & has made me so upset, I have been working so hard behind the scenes to get this sorted for you, the first issue was customs needed to be paid which I sent you on the right direction to pay. Here in the U.K. I have heard nothing from DPD Ireland as we cannot get through, I’ve spent 3 hours on the phone to DPD UK. Every time yourself has emailed I have got back to you within 2 hours & tried to resolve & help.

I have since emailed & have not heard back, I kindly ask if you could get DPD Ireland to raise a claim their end & talk to them.


* May I also add, Monday this week I replied to an email

Hi Geraldine,

According to a different email thread the customs charge was paid, is this correct? Unfortunately we cannot do much this end as it is in your name & in Ireland. Please could you contact DPD using the app again & they should be able to help you further.

I then received a response stating Thankyou I will do that.

I then received no further information from yourself from DPD until today saying

I have no goods to collect.
I have paid customs but there is no physical package.
Can’t believe this is happening to me.

To which then I have replied stating

Did you manage to contact DPD? Then I got no response (then I emailed again) & then bad review.

Order still hasn’t arrived

IPlaced two orders no mention of pre order on site. First order placed 6th October - still hasn’t arrived. The second order placed on the 17th still hasn’t arrived.

Poor communication over email and terrible customer service taking days to reply. Trying to get a refund won’t be buying from here again.

Would be great if you could reply to my emails instead of the trust pilot review. I’m still waiting for you to update me on my order #59327 which was placed on the 7th October. I’ve emailed you on the 10th, 24th and 25th October and had no reply.

Hi Isabel,

Apologies you feel this way, we have responded to every single one of your email. The first one you sent we replied stating thee item was 2-4 week delivery (not on preorder). I responded to your email this morning saying I am chasing the tracking from Mobbli themselves & we could not refund as it was already on its way & due any day now.

The other items was delivered 17th October 15976877734305 - DPD, this item was never mentioned in your emails to us.

Thankyou.

This shop has the most beautiful items, I've had my eye on it since before baby was even conceived! So I had to order from here, and everything was delivered quickly and I love it all.

Brilliant service and quality products.

My pre order came much quicker than expected. I know this is not always the case but delivery was quick and efficient. Can’t fault the service from beginning to end. The company happily answered my questions before I placed my order. Will definitely purchase again and recommend.

Fab little business..

I received my second order from this small business yesterday & I just wanted to say what a great experience I have had both times! Smooth checkout, emails keeping me up to date with my order, fast delivery & items packaged really well. I’m so pleased I found this small business and I would definitely recommend!

Fault’s, Error’s and Poor Handling

Fault’s, Error’s and Poor Handling!!

I’ve purchased a lot from this company over the years from 2020, however I am very upset and frustrated due to the company’s faults, errors and poor handling of one item that I had purchased.

I had got in contact regarding the issue however they seem to brush it all under the carpet. This only goes to show their attempt to ignore the issues and hide it as it’s not their problem! The round ball pit I had purchased has TWO FOAM parts to make it a circle which over the time has come apart and does not make a round ball pit. I contacted MimiBear and they responded with they’ll contact the manufacturer and get a response.

They had advised me that the manufacturer has given some advise on how to mend this problem with glue from the shops which should be baby friendly
-_- I find this very unprofessional that I have been advised to fix something which is out of my hands and don’t wish to ruin something so expensive and also that if it is due to manufacturer fault, it should just be replaced as I had purchased this from your company. I had sent several pictures of the parts and the glue marks. I expressed my concerns regarding fixing this myself, also to mention my friends and family have the same after recommending MimiBear but they do not have this issue of two parts to make a circle ball pit so therefore it is 100% a manufacturing fault. They shrugged it and replied it’s out of warranty now.

My point here is I purchased this product from you. I have no dealings with your manufacturer as this is something between you and your chosen manufacturer. This is not my problem! I purchased from you and there is a big fault therefore it should be replaced!

I am very upset by this as I had thought we built a good relationship over the years. I have recommended this company to so many friends and family who have purchased from them, I have continuously posted them on my socials. As a mum of two I love helping out small companies however this issue had not been dealt professionally. My baby boy cannot even play in this which is sad.

Hi Rima,

I feel really sorry you are upset about the situation however the product was brought in 2021 & has a 1 year warranty, a few months after ordering the ball pit was replaced due to unforeseen circumstances when the item was opened. We replaced the item & then gave 25% off your next order.

Due to do being out of warranty we cannot replace the item.

We asked our manufacturers for advice as a gesture of good will to see if we could help you.

Thanks

Shocking delivery times

I placed an order on July 6th and 7 weeks later, yes that’s right SEVEN WEEKS, I still don’t have my order.

Communication has been poor, only giving updates when I’ve chased up and asked and just had the same reply each time, we’re waiting on a delivery from our supplier or we’re expecting it this week…

Never an update after that week elapses. I was told a delivery was expected from their supplier on July 25th. I was then told the delivery was expected to arrive that week on August 7th. Now they’re not replying to my emails at all.

Do not order from this company unless you’re willing to be at day 50 and still waiting. Delivery times on the website are completely false.

Hi,

Massive apologies we have had massive issues with our suppliers which we have explain in emails. I can confirm your order was shipped yesterday with DPD & will be with you tomorrow. We are so sorry for the delay & we have been on at our suppliers the whole time - we have now had to changed delivery to 3-6 weeks for this product. Again apologies.

Mixed feelings

I made what I would consider to be a sizeable order for nearly 75 pounds with Mimi-Bear on the 10th July because I was so impressed with the range they had on offer and I wanted to buy from a small business. I got a notification via the shop app, not long after, to say my order had been shipped but I didn’t receive my order. So on the 15th July I emailed just to ask for an update and to check when my order was likely to arrive. No response. I then chased several other times with no response via instagram and email. After I wrote my original review I did receive a response via email and a refund was issued. They explained they hadn’t received my emails and my instagram messages weren’t received due to annual leave. However, I know that messages were being replied to during the long period I was chasing as my friend received a response on a general query the same day. I just think overall customer service is lacking, as expressed in other reviews. It’s obviously something they are looking to improve on due to changing delivery partners, so I’ve amended my score to reflect this.

Hi Holly, I am so sorry. We have had problems with our emails & looks like we haven’t been receiving some. Since this review we did get in contact & sent a screenshot of our inbox to show we had received nothing. I have been on annual leave so not answering Instagram messages, we do have a form on our website that can be filled out & comes straight to us also. Apologies you never received your order we changed from Royal Mail to DPD & quite a few parcels went missing & unfortunately it looks like it was one of yours. We offered to resend but unfortunately since the order some items have sold out so have offered a refund.
Thanks

We have always had a great experience…

We have always had a great experience when shopping at Mimi bear. My son has had some gorgeous toys from you and last summer I got his paddling pool from here. It’s still immaculate this year and I get so many compliments on it. It’s definitely my go to small business if I want to buy a lovely toy or gift for my little one. I’ll be purchasing again next month for his 2nd birthday! Xx

Horrendous Experience

Placed an order with this company for around £120. Advised me order had shipped but no tracking provided. Emailed them and they’ve not shipped item, still waiting on stuff being delivered to them so the order isn’t even complete. They follow up with further email saying it’s shipped but tracking info doesn’t work on DPD site. DPD had now emailed me to say the order has been cancelled. Why on earth is a company leaving it to the courier to say an order has been cancelled. Trying to support a small business but should have just gone to Amazon. If there’s an issue with an order you proactively contact your customers, not pass the buck. Can’t wait to have to do an indemnity claim through my bank as it looks like they’re just kicking me around. Son’s birthday is tomorrow and this was his main present.

In reply to your response,

I’m not expecting you to be like Amazon. I specifically chose a small business because I don’t want to shop at companies like Amazon. What I do expect is for you to contact me before I have to contact you when I’m getting emails saying my order has been cancelled. I do expect for my order to be shipped when I get an email saying that it’s been shipped - not to then contact you and find out you don’t even have the items yet. I do expect for you to follow the shipping times that are on your website and to contact me if, for whatever reason, that’s not possible. Such as, you not actually having the items. Otherwise, it’s misleading. Your website says 3-5 days for Yoto, I was happy with that and knowing that it might get here a little late. But here we are, on day 8, and the order still hasn’t been processed or shipped, never mind delivered. You need to communicate with your customers before they get to the point where they’re having to email you multiple times. You knew when you got my order that you didn’t have the items to process. This is when you email me letting me know that the order won’t ship on time. These things happen and it wouldn’t have been the end of the world. However, you chose not to do that. Instead, I got an email saying that it HAD shipped. YOU know that DPD send emails automatically, I don’t. I simply got an email saying my order had been cancelled. Communicate with your customers.

At this point, it will take longer to have the money returned to me and for me to place an order elsewhere. I just want my son’s presents.

Hi Hayley,

Apologies you feel this way. Our processing time is 3-5 days to process & 3-7 days to be delivered. Your order was placed on 15th, it is due to be delivered next week. Unfortunately we are not like Amazon as there is only one person packing & we try our best to get all out orders out as quick as possible. We explained over email

‘ Hi Hayley,

Apologies I can confirm your order has not been cancelled just the shipment for collection on Friday. It will be sent out on Monday, massive apologies for any inconvenience caused! DPD assign the tracking number automatically.

Kind Regards’

Please could you reply back to us & we can resolve this, we are happy to cancel your order for a full refund but we haven’t heard back?

Thanks

The loveliest small business

I don’t usually write reviews but I feel it’s needed as I rarely shop with a small business but I have always returned to this one due to being so impressed with them. Not only have my parcels arrived quickly but they have also been so beautifully wrapped. whenever I have had a query, I have always been responded to quickly and they’ve always been so helpful. This company have not only helped me announce my daughters birth (with the gorgeous baby wrap and matching announcement/ milestone cards) but also helped in providing the most beautiful toys for her 1st and 2nd birthday. You really are appreciated in being a customer with them offering discount on future orders. If you are questioning whether to order with them I say 100% go for it because both you and your little ones won’t be disappointed!
