Quality product. Poor service

The product itself was a quality item. However, we paid next day delivery before 1PM on Monday morning and the bike arrived on Wednesday so we did not receive the service we paid for. When we finally recieved the parcel the box was fairly damaged several dents and holes over it. Can't say for certain however the quality of the taping on the box and how the packaging and leaflets were inside would lead me to believe this package has been opened and packed again due to poor quality. If you are talking about the quality of the Revvi bike itself then its definitely a quality product. The rest of the service however is fairly poor. If it wasn't for the Bike itself being so good, then this would be one star not two.

Hi Ellieh
Were shocked to read this review being as you ordered from us at 9.19am on MONDAY the 14th September. It was delivered out on a 2-3 Day Service ad you received it by the Wednesday. Unfortutealty we are unable to accommodate delivery within 4 hours of you placing the order and you didn't pay any delivery charge you opted for free economy delivery

Hi Margaret

We are a small family run business but understand how important people feel it is a human answers a phone, because of this if we cannot answer the phone we divert to a small family run call centre so you should always speak to a human without the need to press options and if the call centre cant answer they message us and we call customers back immediately. Im so glad that Halina was able to assist you and we hope you will remember us this coming Xmas.

Really good service

I don’t usually write reviews but was really impressed with these guys. The delivery address autocompleted incorrectly and they got back to me within the hour saying they’d corrected it. Arrived within 2 days and in great condition - great customer service and quick delivery!

Were super happy to hear you had a great experience and we look forward to dealing with you again. We have now turned off autocomplete on our website so problems like that do not happen again as it was causing lots of issues.

Outstanding Customer Service

I had very speciifc qyestions about the product I wanted to order and the lady on the phone couldn't have been more accommodating. Thy checked everything I asked before confirming and I received the item on a next day delivery service. This company will be my first port of call for future purchases, the customer service was outstanding

Hi Andrew,
Were stoked you were happy with the service you received from us but sad to hear we lost a star due to an email astray from Fedex. I hope we will serve you again soon and can rectify this to maybe achieve 5 stars

Great customer service!

I rang today to see how long shipping would be (before I placed the order) as I needed it sooner rather than later... spoke to Halina (Customer service) who advised if I brought the item asap she would get it to the courier today as they were loading up the orders for tomorrow delivery... I did as she said and low and behold our pool should be with us tomorrow! Very happy with the service received to date!! Thank you for making the effort. Update- the pool arrived next day and is exactly what we wanted!!

Fast dispatch

Fast dispatch, very happy. Partial refund given with supporting email to explain the situation. Very pleased with my product and the speed of delivery despite what must be a difficult working environment for all retailers. Thank you and I would like to wish this retailer all the best for the future.

Hey Sarah
We appreciate that kids are impatient and we are happy to hear Fedex are pulling out all the stops to get orders to customers on time. We couldn't do it without them we are only part of the chain and i have to give Fedex a big hand for continuity of service in these still difficult times.

Great car

Great experience! Car arrived on next day after purchase, just needed to clip in parts- no real assembly. On road car was a bit too fast to my liking even on slow speed, but on grass is ok! Fits 2 toddlers

Hey M,
Im sad to read your comments that you feel the plastic is very cheap, however all our ride on toys undergo strict toy testing procedures. I note that we have not had any formal communication and would ask if you are unhappy with you purchase you reach out to us to arrange a return.

We pride ourselves on stock levels and through these difficult times it has been hard, however it does seem we came up trumps this year with our ordering levels and have managed to serve our customers with pools all the way through the heatwaves.
