Why have I still not received a response? This is very poor service.4th March 2013 17:51

Original message sent 1st March 2013: I received my item on Wednesday 27th February and the box was damaged and the item is clearly a used item as it was dirty on the outside and the the inside foam where you put the battery is clearly dirty.

I am extremely dissappointed with my order. I expect to receive a full refund along with the amount I paid for the delivery. On your website it stated a 'fast delivery' and yet it has taken a week to receive my item even though I paid for the delivery.
Please send my authorisation (RMA) number as a matter of urgency.

The Combustion engine model was recommended by a friend and I was really pleased with it, it arrived within 3 working days via Royal mail. It was very well packaged and the instructions were clear and precise. (Not a lot of that nowadays) Being a pensioner it gave my several hours (About 6) of relaxation and pleasure when I now run the motor. Thanks G G well done.

I was pleased with the ease of the ordering system and also pleased with the fast delivery. My only disappointment was the packaging. The box had clearly been opened and repacked and it just made me feel that maybe my goods were not brand new - having said that there was no sign of it having been used before but it was disappointing to not have an unopened box.

I placed my order on-line on the 29th Janauary 2013 & the money was deducted instantly from my account. I waited and waited for my delivery to turn up but it never did. I contacted them asking where my delivery was and was told to wait 14 days to see if it arrived. I did that and then contacted them again saying it was still missing. Customer services said they would check with the warehouse to see if the item had been returned and then silence - I have been emailing them constantly but have received no response or any assurance I will get my money back. Awful customer service and no way of actually speaking to anybody on the telephone. Avoid, avoid, avoid. Not only did I not receive my husband's birthday present I have had to pay for an item never received/sent. I am contacting trading standards and my bank to see how I can recover my stolen money.

Ordered and paid for goods. Nothing arrived after over a week. Received no communication so contacted them. Didn't have the item in stock after all.

Item finally arrived and was totally satisfied. I just would have liked to have been better informed

Perhaps I should have read these reviews prior to my purchase ?!

Product was a present and the receiver is very happy!
Only down side was lack of communication from after sale to delivery so would be less tempted to use again as opposed to other online retailers. Took over 5 business days to arrive and was left on my doorstep Saturday morning

Order processed in a timely manner and arrived when expected. Have bought the same item previously elsewhere and even paying postage it was still £3 pounds cheaper

the items i orderd turned up in boxes that were squashed and battered and the contents was poor quality

This is a useful insulated mug which keeps drinks hot successfully when travelling. I had expected the lid and pouring action to be watertight but it leaks a little when inverted. I would have returned it but I bought it for my daughter who lives more than a 100 miles away, so that was not convenient. However she can use it in the car.

Not much to say really. I put the order through. Had it sent to my work address, which was no problem. Received the item, fully functioning. Good price, too.
I'd definitely shop here again.

Quite happy with this,very ouick delivery but smaller than i thought it would be nevertheless great fun.Thank you.

Order sent and received 4th Dec.
Nothing received by 17th yet payment taken.
I have now emailed 3 times and never had a response. I would NEVER use this company again due to the complete absence of any customer service. I still await a response and a refund for goods I have paid for but never received.

service was fine, package came quickly, although in confirmation email it said I would be notified when my parcel was being dispatched, and as it was for a birthday present I thought i would like to telephone someone to maybe upgrade my delivery to ensure it arrived on time but there is no facility to do this ,only an email address which may take a while to be answered. As it was it didnt matter as the parcel arrived after 3 working days.

A scrummily spacious garment, replete with pockets, cuffs and hood. The overall effect is of the grim reapers softer side, leaving his sythe outside and kicking back in teddy bear fashion. But then, we did buy it in black. The product was despatched swiftly and arrived in immaculate condition. We are very pleased,

I ordered this for my granddaughter so she can listen to stories,I had ordered one on groupon and payed double for the same thing,recommend to every one,excellent and quick service,thanks

Searching for prices on a radio controlled helicopter I found it cheapest on Gadget Grotto. I ordered it on a Thursday with standard delivery expecting it to take a couple of days, it arrived the next day which was a nice surprise and really great service.

Its now ten days since i have ordered my products and it still hasnt arrived after i paid for an express delivery. I have left a message on the customer service number that was displayed through paypal and no one has had the manners to even ring and tell me why i havent received my products. I have also emailed Gadget Grotto asking where my goods are and they havent got the manners to conact me either. I dont even know if i am going to receive what i have ordered. AVOID THIS LOT LIKE THE PLAGUE.

I received my order on Saturday 5th January. Good delivery time but the game was damaged. Since then I have tried repeatedly both online and by phone to effect an exchange but so far have had no response. Very poor after sales service.

Since reading other reviews, I realise I am not on my own with the poor service from this company. I rang Mankind but 'all their lines were busy' I left a message but no-one has replied.

Wanted by 29 December but only ordered on 27 December. Didn't want to pay exhorbitant next day delivery charges for something costing only £11. This express delivery cost £3.99 and the item was delivered on 28 December - superb service

Ordered several items. Great Quality. Price pretty good too. Most impressed with the fast delivery. Just what I needed just before Christmas. Thanks.
