You only get 1 dinosaur when you get the light up dinosaur bath toy.
I am bitterly disappointed with my order today.
I ordered the light up dinosaur bath toys reduced from $39.95 to $19.95 thinking I was getting a set. I thought my grandson would love this for Xmas. However this price was for a single dinosaurs. All the pictures advertising this product has kids playing with multiple. I was sad to receive only 1 today.

Hello Jackie,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. I’m sorry to hear that the product didn’t meet your expectations. The listing does indicate that the price is for a single dinosaur, but I understand how the images could have caused some confusion, and we’ll review them to make this clearer.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

What a waste of money. I paid $20 for something that should cost $2.00.

Peep-Po Teddy -appalling quality
Peep-Po Teddy -appalling quality, best described as cheap and nasty! Shipped from China. Not fit for purpose and I doubt it would meet safety regulations. Absolute rip off and a scam.

1 star is too generous for this company. Firstly the phone number on their website is not connected. Secondly the photo on their website vs what I received is just a printout of the item. I wish I could add photos here.
I would like a full refund on my order and i am not paying to send back a photo copy of the item for the refund.
I'm embarrassed that I fell for this business.
My order number is: ORDER AK-AU65664

NOT AN AUSTRALIAN COMPANY
Incredibly disappointing to realise that these items were cheap rubbish from
China arriving in a little plastic bag, where the colours of my items were all wrong and the packaging of the toys were damaged. The quality was disgusting - similar to temu and shein but not at those prices!!!
Return shipping is not included as advertised, they will just offer you a 30% refund. Reading their websites mislead me to believe they’re an Australian ran and owned company, which I like to support. I feel like I’ve been completely scammed. It’s illegal to do what they’re doing and I will be taking it further.

This company is a scam, then took my money and never delivered the product. They said if I wanted to find out what happened to my product I had to contact the delivery company myself, which have also never gotten back to me.

False advertising NOT AUSTRALIAN - DON'T BUY
False advertising - it's not Australian it's crap from China.
Plastic junk toys, worse than temu. I bought 3x dinosaur trucks. They are cheap plastic. Cost $13 each, I wouldn't pay more than $2 for them.
Crap packaging. Slow delivery.
Total waste of money.

“Australian Kids” is not an Australian Business
After a week of placing my order with this company I still hadn’t received any shipping advice. I sent a text message to the mobile phone listed asking when my item would be shipped. There was no reply. I rang it and it’s disconnected. I sent an email asking when my goods would be shipped. I’m in Australia. The business is called “Australian Kids” but is based in Hong Kong and shipped from China.
I first received a generic reply and on my second attempt received an email reply in German. I had to use google translate to see what their reply was. It was a vague answer which translated said …
“Thank you for your message.
We can confirm that we have received your order and it will be shipped shortly. The tracking information may not have been updated yet, but please be assured that we are processing your order and will ensure it is shipped in time to meet your desired delivery date.
If you have any further questions or require additional information, please do not hesitate to contact us. Thank you for your patience.”
EDIT: I have been persistent in following up on my order and eventually had several replies back to my emails, each saying thank you for your patience. After tracking showed my order arrived at its destination city Perth WA, but with no further information, I again emailed and was asked several times over a 5 day period to have patience etc etc.
Finally after more than 2 weeks I got a reply stating that the company delivering my order would be SpeedX and it would arrive in the next 2 days. It didn’t. After my order reached Perth WA the tracking stopped and could not be found on SpeedX tracking. It took from the Thursday it arrived in Perth till the following Wednesday but my order was eventually delivered.
The options for customer service for this company are poor and tracking is unreliable and non existent once it reaches the city of destination. I feel had I not been assertive in continuing to follow up I may not have received my order, as has been the experience of other buyers. It shouldn’t be that difficult to be informed of your order’s arrival.
It’s also false advertising from this business to call themselves “Australian Kids” and I will not be ordering from them again. In saying that, the product looks to be as advertised.

Hello Therese,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I’m very sorry to hear about the lack of shipping updates, the unanswered messages, and the confusing email response you received. I can fully understand your concern, especially with the reply arriving in another language and the business location not matching your expectations.
This isn’t the level of clarity or communication we aim to provide, and I apologise for the frustration this has caused. I would like to look into your order directly so we can confirm its status, ensure the tracking information is correct, and provide a clear explanation of what has happened.
If you can share the email used at checkout or your order details, I’ll investigate this personally and work to give you an accurate update. We want to address this properly and restore confidence in the process.
Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. We appreciate the chance to resolve this with you.

PEEK-A-BOO HOO
I ordered the Peek-A-Boo-Teddy-Interactive Plush Toy. The item I received is far from the product that was advertised on their platform, both in terms of quality, aesthetics, and size.
The advertised picture showed a bear sitting opposite a baby, with both subjects at eye-level, which suggested the bear would be approximately 50 cm in height. The bear in the advertisement also appeared very fluffy and aesthetically appealing.
Unfortunately, the bear I received is much smaller than anticipated and its quality is poor—it looks disheveled and worn.
I reached out to the company for assistance and have not heard from them

The quality is terrible. I doubt the product meet Australia safety standards for kids.
The box came damaged and they refused refund. They offered a discount that was ridiculous.
The advertise as Australia products but they come from China and the return address was in China.

Deception & disappointment
Such a deceiving and disappointing experience! I ordered from this business as they claimed to be Australian (as the name suggests) & looked to be a very sweet, boutique-style company. Within a few days of placing my order, I get a dispatch email from China!! The package literally came direct from a Chinese warehouse, to me! I contacted them via email straight away and expressed my concern and disappointment- but no response! After a couple of weeks, no package had arrived and no updates (or reply from the company). I assumed it must’ve been a scam and was left feeling really uneasy. The product eventually arrived and the quality was very poor! I may as well have ordered from temu at a fraction of the cost!
