Kids Phone: undelivered
Ordered a kids phone for my son for Christmas on the 16th & when I’ve checked the tracking it’s been sitting in Melbourne VIC, since the 28th of December now it’s the 3rd of January it’s a little disappointing not getting it in time for Christmas but also thinking it was already in Australia as the company name is Australian Kids. Slowest parcel to arrive.

Hello Luana,
Thank you for your review. We’re sorry to hear about the delay and understand how disappointing it is that the order didn’t arrive in time for Christmas, especially when it was intended for your son.
We can appreciate how frustrating it is to see tracking sitting in one location for an extended period. Once parcels are with the carrier, delays can unfortunately occur, but we acknowledge that this doesn’t make the wait any easier.
If the delivery is still outstanding or you’d like us to follow this up for you, please contact our customer support team with your order number so we can look into the tracking and assist further. We appreciate your patience and thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
Kind regards

Cheap low quality product at 3x the price. The website presents itself as an Australian company but it’s out of China. Really disappointed with what I got. Not like the photos for 3x what I could have got from a cheap discount store

Hello Jason,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m genuinely sorry to hear that the product didn’t meet your expectations and that you feel disappointed by the quality and value.
We aim to be transparent about our products and where they’re made, and it’s clear we’ve missed the mark for you here—especially if the item didn’t match what was shown on our website. That’s not the experience we want anyone to have.
We’d really like the opportunity to make this right. If you’re open to it, please reach out to our support team with your order details so we can look into a refund, return, or another suitable resolution. Your feedback is important to us and helps us improve both our products and how we present them.
Thank you again for being honest about your experience.

Slow carrier pigeon service.
Been waiting two months for a small parcel that a carrier pigeon would have already delivered. Still no sign of it coming and goodness knows how much longer we are going to have to wait, that's if it ever turns up. Definitely would not recommend.

Hello Len,
We’re really sorry for the long delay and completely understand your frustration. Waiting that long for a small parcel is not acceptable, and this is not the level of service we aim to provide.
Delivery times can occasionally be affected by carrier issues, but two months is far beyond reasonable. We’d like to look into this immediately, confirm what’s happened with your order, and arrange a resolution—whether that’s a replacement or refund.
Please reach out to our support team with your order number so we can take care of this for you as quickly as possible. Thank you for your patience, and we’re sorry we’ve let you down here.

Ordered 3 items
Ordered 3 items. Delivered only 2. Product ordered for 119 Aud. The products sent doesn't even qualify for 5 dollars. My 5 year old kid told me "mamma this is just junk" This is a big scam. Do not order from these scammers. It is not Australian product. This cheap junk is sent from China. Scamming you with its Australian name. If there was zero star, I would have given zero rating.

I wish I had of read the reviews before purchasing off this website !
I bought a Dinasaurier car and light up bath toy. Not only did they take weeks to arrive, the tracking was in Chinese!
When they arrived they were cheap rubbish. The bath toy alone was so tiny and cost $20 !! Supposedly reduced from 40 -seriously, if i had seen this in a shop I'd be hard pressed to pay a dollar for it ! The car was very small and flimsy. I could not give these as Christmas gifts as intended, which sent me on a mad Christmas eve scramble.
Ive attempted contact to send them back with no response.
Save your money !

Hello Kim,
Thank you for sharing your experience, and we’re genuinely sorry to hear how disappointing this purchase was for you—especially given it was intended for Christmas gifts.
We understand how frustrating it must have been to experience long delivery times, unclear tracking information, and then receive items that did not meet your expectations in terms of size, quality, or value. We also recognize how stressful it is when plans fall through at such an important time of year, and we regret that this led to last-minute inconvenience for you.
We’re particularly concerned to hear that you attempted to contact us regarding a return and did not receive a response. That is not the level of service we aim to provide, and we apologize for that breakdown in communication.
Your feedback has been noted and shared with our team, as it highlights areas where we clearly need to improve—both in product representation and customer support. Thank you for taking the time to leave this review, even though the experience was a negative one.

Not an Australian company
With a name like Australian kids I had assumed it was an Australian company. It wasn’t until I received an item that wasn’t good quality and I wanted to get a refund that I was told that I could get a refund but the item had to be shipped back to Hong Kong at my expense. However to save the environment I could keep the item but only get a 30% refund. The item was poor quality and I could have bought it cheaper on Temu but because I thought it was Australian I expected better quality. At least temu allows returns with them paying the postage. To make matters worse, when I checked my bank statement to see if I had received the refund (which to date I haven’t) the original purchase, which shows as Australian dollars on the invoice, must have been I. A foreign currency as the bank took out a foreign exchange charge. I will never but from this company again.

Ordered the kids phone on the 6th December said it would arrive in time for Christmas and according to tracking it’s still in China . Don’t think you should call your business Australian when everything comes from overseas. Tomorrow is Christmas Eve so I doubt the phone will arrive by Christmas. Will not order again

Don't waste your money
Very disappointed in cheap products and company.
I ordered 3 of the creative science sets... the fan, boat and light. It would be helpful if the instructions were in English instead of Chinese. I thought it was an Australian product and company (Australian Kids), otherwise I would not have ordered for my grandkids for Christmas.
Tried calling the number but it doesn't work.

ZERO is my real rating
ZERO is my real rating. This company has the WORST tracking system. Communication was even worse. The company only responded effectively after I put in a complaint to PayPal. Then the company had the audacity to say my complaint would take up their time - when the issue was created by their lack of communication about non delivery. I am also affronted that they call themselves "Australian Kids" - totally deceptive as they are Hong Kong based and just using our country's good name. What a disgrace.

If I could put -10 I would. Totally fake, scam site. I wish I'd thought to check reviews (my fault) but was encouraged to by by my husband 😡. I did finally receive the goods, only after plaguing the site with threatening emails. But, the goods arrived in disgustingly flimsy packaging, the boxes were crushed and the quality is very poor. If these are from China, they are adding to an already extremely poor reputation. As people have said...their contact details are totally fake, along with pretty much everything else about this "company".
