Nearly all good.…
Ordered several things and the majority were excellent - however one of the ‘frogs’ on the ‘Catching Frogs’ game was split. This meant that the tack was loose and came out!
Luckily we found it before our 2 year old granddaughter.
We have used wood glue to repair it, but I think quality control could do with a word.

Thank you so much for your review and for your kind words about the rest of your order. We’re so pleased to hear that the majority of the items were excellent.
We’re very sorry to hear about the issue with one of the frogs in the Catching Frogs game. This certainly doesn’t meet our usual quality standards, and we completely understand your concern, particularly with such a young child playing. We’re very grateful that you were able to spot it and fix it yourself, but we absolutely agree that this sort of issue shouldn’t occur in the first place.
Please rest assured that your feedback has been passed on to our product team for review and follow-up. We’re always working to improve our quality control and your comments are incredibly helpful in that process.
If you would like us to send a replacement frog piece, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our customer service team at gameon@jaqueslondon.co.uk, we’d be happy to help.
Kind regards,
Jaques of London Customer Service Team
Great quality product and super customer service
Great quality products, affordable prices, good customer service.
I had an issue with delivery (FedEx) but customer service was brilliant, even across the holiday period and it was quickly resolved. Would definitely purchase again from Jaques and would recommend to others.

Ordered the My First Fabric Fishing Game for Grandson's birthday on 24th December. On first use the rod split apart. Very poorly constructed. I have had two attempts to send an email enquiry regarding this issue. On both occasions it says "failed to fetch" There doesn't appear to be any other contact method.

Beautifully presented wooden toys
Beautifully presented wooden toys. I have bought a few as presents for different children and they look well made. It was good to be able to give wooden toys rather than plastic. They look colourful which attracted the attention of the young children they were given to and were played with straight away.

I bought my son a wooden hammer bench for part of his Christmas. The sides of the bench just fall off and the blocks just fall through the holes so can't hammer them. Waste of money won't shop here again.

Very impressed
So impressed with Jacques. Such a lovely selection of beautifully made wooden toys and games (in particular the backgammon set is gorgeous). I love the gift wrapped boxes too. It's a shame the contents are emblazoned on the boxes though... You either have to wrap the boxes again or cross out the words with a marker pen! Customer service was top notch. I didn't realise I had to add the advertised free gift to my online basket so of course it was missing from my order. When I queried its whereabouts, customer services explained I hadn't added it as I should have done but then they immediately despatched one to me. That's real service. I love their sustainability ethos too. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jaques to others.

What a wonderful shop
What a wonderful shop! I first heard of Jaques via Amazon and then I found the Jaques website. I'm in love with everything and have bought most things for Xmas gifts. I'll leave reviews when they've been opened. No need to wrap them because they're already beautifully wrapped!
