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.

Scam

Scam. Ordered in July and items were never received despite numerous emails. I've learned my lesson to always check Trustpilot BEFORE placing an order, even if the website looks legit and has good SEO. Although there are some 5* reviews on here that are clearly fake so watch out for those.

I wish I could give it 0 stars

I wish I could give it 0 stars. The website is clearly running a scam I am not sure how they are still trading. They have yet to provide me with my product and keep saying they will investigate and are now ghosting me. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS PLACE.

Scam!

Scam, just like everyone else is saying, I wish I had seen these reviews first! The website looks real. Company also shows as dissolved on company's house. The email address has an extra S. Requested updates and a refund that I clearly won't get so will take action like others to try and get my money back. Shame to target parents trying to buy developmental toys for children!

Fake company.

Fake company.
Just like everyone else, I wish I’d seen the reviews before buying.
Highchair was ordered and for 2 months they gave me the run around with excuses about delays with dispatching, then got a Royal Mail tracking they said it was delivered. That didn’t happen. But Mary was reassuring for weeks until I just demanded a refund. Then silence!
Reported company to Action Fraud and raised it with my bank.
Thankfully I was able to get my money back.

The worst company EVER

The worst company. Mary is a liar and I’m still waiting for my refund since July. Probably not going to get it. Don’t trust them and don’t trust the ‘positive reviews’ on here, they are likely to be a scam too!

Scam...Do not buy from this company

Scam...Do not buy from this company. I have been chasing them for months now
They will not cancel your order. Order will take months to arrive if you are lucky. Product will be nothing like shown in the picture. When you will ask to return they will be so generous to replace it and offer to keep the faulty product as well. Wait another month with no replacement and then finally when you will ask for your refund they will assure you they are processing it. Will respond to your emails in sugary words with constant assurance and after another month they will stop responding to your emails.

Hassle-free shopping experience. Checkout was quick, communication was great, and delivery was faster than expected. All items were packed carefully and nothing was missing.

Scam website-I ordered a baby gym two months ago and nothing arrived. I have been in contact with the seller and they have been sending reassuring emails that the product would arrive. A BIG SCAM! Sent fake tracking details that showed that the product has arrived.
After two months, I am still chasing them and they haven't refunded my money.

BEWARE

BEWARE. I ordered a children's wigwam in July . I have been told , by Mary, that it is not possible to cancel the order despite it not having been despatched yet. I doubt very much that I am going to see the wigwam or my £60 having now read all of these reviews. I am now getting generated responses to my emails. Mary must be a very busy lady !
