Bloody Cheek!

They lost my order and then asked for a "small fee" of £15 to send me another. Absolute scam.

Crap quality - dispute instructions enclosed

Crap quality. Better used for fire kindling than as a gift. Completely different finishes than what's shown in advertising photo. Classic Chinese bait-and-switch. Tried to return but they didn't honor their own refund policy. Scammers.

UPDATE: I successfully disputed the credit card charge with Amex and received my payment back. I suggest trying the same if you’re dissatisfied. Put a side-by-side picture up of the advertised goods and what you received. Enumerate each area of dissimilarity and inferior quality. Show proof of requesting a refund of the merchant and having articulated the dissimilarities. Also provide a copy of refund policy from their website where you’re eligible to get funds back if unhappy. Those three items are what I provided. After a few rounds of back-and-forth with Amex, I won. It’s only $40-something returned to me, but F this merchant! It was worth it. :)

Avoid like the plague

Avoid like the plague. Awful quality and writing wonky. Hearts don’t even look like hearts and bears don’t fit together correctly. Do not use.

It's a scam

It's a scam. Don't order. You aren't sent an email confirmation which means you don't get an order number so no way of logging in to cancel. You also can't contact them.

Bait and Switch Operation

If you expect the same high-quality results this "company" advertises, run! Don't walk, RUN! This company is a bait-and-switch operation. My order confirms it. What I received was a piece of wood with splinters sticking out, the names were laser shot in, not beautifully engraved and the heart was not even shaped like one. Makezbright & Thewoodoo is the same place.

Cant trust them

They claim to have 4.9 stars from trust pilot, obviously you cant even trust trustpilot to have their score update. My bear came with no ink in the names of the bears. There was so many splinters still on the bear that i had to sand down myself. It came from asia. NOT FROM AMERICA. Obviously there is a lie happening here and someone is stealing credentials from a company in the USA

This company is a total Scam

This company is total rubbish. Sent a small wooden figure with the wrong names on and when I complained they sent the same figure again with the wrong names on. The email I have for them no longer works. Have asked my creditcard Company for refund.
UPDATE
Further to the above. I have checked out the address given on this company's website. It is based on an address in Montana in the USA. I have spoken to the company based there and they are a bonifide wood work company. They are very upset that their details are being used in this scam.They have reported Woodoo/Makezbright to the FBI and other Scam prevention orgs. BE WARNED they are scammers!!

Costly poor quality tat

Text is not as it appears on the photos, I also had 2 names printed onto one bear and another bear blank. A replacement was sent but exactly the same. I am now being ignored as I mentioned a refund. Total rip off and the quality of the actual product and finish is really not good. Certainly not something you would want to display even if the names were correct. They display a photo of the staff as if it’s a local business handcrafting, the product is clearly digitally cut and printed and also comes from china when you get the tracking information. Don’t give these thieves your money.

Sorry I need to give you one star as I cannot give 0.
You keep sending emails on offers from you, but do not reply my email.
I have been trying to contact you so many times, but I haven’t got any response.
I have not received my packed, but can see that the money is withdrawed.
I have written to the emails which is written in PayPal transaction twice and than through the contact formula on your website. But gave still it heard from you. I was looking forward to receive my bear family.

Absolute garbage...AVOID!!

Absolute garbage product. Nothing like the wood advertised. Like chipboard. Product arrived damaged and names incorrect. Still waiting for a refund after months. Avoid at all costs.

Scam!

Ordered in October. Still haven’t received my order. Contacted the company several times regarding my order but heard nothing back. I have a feeling this company is a scam. Very disappointing.
