Still waiting for your delivery…

Still waiting for your delivery #664341, if you blame the couriers change them…too many “sales”, I doubt the value of a purchase because of so many sales and discounts, poor marketing.
Replacement product now received, prompt action, all sorted. Thank you.

The item arrived in a damaged condition…

The item arrived in a damaged condition and was totally unacceptable to give as a gift. I reported this and was told I wasn’t eligible for a refund as the actual toy was ok. I was extremely angry as I have bought things before on several occasions. Never again though.

We're very sorry to hear you were initially disappointed with your order. While our policy covers the condition and functionality of the product itself rather than the outer packaging, we completely understand the frustration when something intended as a gift arrives less than perfect.

We’re pleased to see from your recent email that this matter has now been resolved to your satisfaction. Thank you for your past custom, and we hope we can restore your confidence in us again in future.

I absolutely love the quality

I absolutely love the quality, the style, the sturdiness and the beautiful finishes to all of the items I have purchased over the years. I’ve been buying for at least the last five years for my grandson and now buying for my little granddaughter who’s just a few weeks old.
Board games for my grandson and sensory toys for the little one.

Toys are well made and good value, customer service not greatt

Toys are well made and good value. Lack of customer service at weekends left me out of pocket. My phone defaulted to an old address. I tried to contact Jaques immediately but no service at weekends and Evri unhelpful. Parcel delivered to old address and unable to resolve.Would much prefer Jaques used Royal Mail. Also find the deluge if e mail offers extremely irritating.

Thank you for your feedback, and we’re pleased to hear you were happy with the toys themselves. However, we’re very sorry to hear about the delivery issue and your experience with our customer service availability.

While our team doesn’t operate over the weekend, we do aim to respond to all queries as quickly as possible during working hours. We understand how frustrating it can be when an order goes to the wrong address. Unfortunately, once a parcel is in transit, we are limited in what can be changed, but we will always try to help where we can.

We also understand that courier preference matters, which is why we offer multiple delivery options at checkout so that customers can choose the courier that works best for them.

Regarding marketing emails, we’ve passed your comments to the team and can ensure your preferences are updated if you wish to unsubscribe.

Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience.

The customer service is excellent

The customer service is excellent. I had an issue with Evri delivery and within three days of contacting JAQUES of London my order was resent and received using a different courier thank you. The toys are excellent quality at great prices (my career was in pre school education) I definitely recommend and will be buying again.

Lovely Christmas Gifts

The toys are lovely and reasonably priced. It’s great the team quickly resolved a query with the order. The only reason the review is not five star is due to the packaging- these plastic free sustainable toys arrive wrapped in single use plastic unnecessarily.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We’re so pleased to hear that you’re happy with the toys themselves, but we’re sorry to hear that your experience wasn’t perfect.

Our free tote bag promotion does require customers to manually add the item to their basket at checkout once the qualifying spend is met (after discounts and excluding shipping). As the tote bag didn’t appear on your order confirmation, it looks like this step was unfortunately missed.

We’re really glad you reached out to our customer service team, and we’re pleased that we’ve since been able to resolve this for you.

We’ve also passed your packaging feedback on to our team. We’re always looking for ways to improve our sustainability while ensuring your order arrives in perfect condition.
