Great Selection of Gifts.

Ordered some lovely, unusual gifts for our 2 years old grandson. I was kept up to date with despatch details etc. the parcel was well packaged and I’m very happy with my purchases. I would recommend.

Mulberry Bush beat all my expectations!

A superb range of quality toys available, and a personalisation service available too. I ordered a wooden toy for my granddaughter, and requested personalisation. My decision was a little 'last minute' before a planned trip, but Mulberry Bush beat all my expectations! I ordered on Tuesday afternoon, selected the faster delivery option but imagined the personalisation would still mean a wait of several days. The package arrived Thursday early afternoon. Brilliant, secure packaging, and a quick check of the item revealed a quality toy, and with great personalisation too. I would thoroughly recommend Mulberry Bush and will shop here again. Thank you to the M.B. team.

Incredibly fast delivery, great product

I ordered three towels with personalised names on them for next day delivery. Had never ordered from Mulberry Bush before and was a little wary - but it turns out I need not have worried. The towels were personalised and shipped the same day and arrived the next afternoon, which was SO much faster than any of the big brands and other retailers I'd been looking at. The products were also decent quality - lovely clear embroidery on the names and the towels were a good smoky grey colour. Just what I wanted, really pleased and would recommend again. Thank you so much!

Awful packaging (gel pens)

I ordered personalised notepaper and gel pens for two children's birthday presents. The notepaper was lovely but the gel pens came in the worst, cheapest-looking packaging. The label on the front was awful and covered the front of the pens so you couldn't see they had the recipient's names on. I tried to remove the label and it left awful glue marks so I ended up having to take the pens out the packaging and wrapped them loose (not ideal!). While the pens themselves looked nice the packaging is important if they're going to be a gift, so I would only buy these if you're keeping them for yourself.

Reply from Mulberry Bush Ltd

Dear Customer, sorry to hear about the problems you've had with the packaging for the gel pens. The only stickers we apply are fully-removable stickers with the personalisation details, so we imagine the stickers you refer to are the ones that are from our supplier - the actual product packaging stickers. We will raise this issue with our supplier and see if it's possible to improve this. Thanks for drawing this to our attention. Thanks, Mulberry Bush

Package arrived on time

Package arrived on time. It was well packaged and contents were perfect when unwrapped. Ordering process was easy and email communication was prompt and clear.

Lovely personalised crayons.

My parcel arrived today. The lead time from the order was very good considering that I ordered a personalised item. The crayons look to be of good quality and I think they will be well received on Christmas Day.
I will be having a browse through the enclosed catalogue you sent. The crayons could be the first step to a less stressy Christmas.

Selling of personal data without consent

I had no issues with my purchase and the customer service was great (the initial item was damaged and Mulberry Bush quickly sorted a replacement, sent free of charge and told me to keep the original item too).

However, after purchasing from Mulberry Bush, I received an influx of unsolicited mail.

After contacting one of the companies, I learned that they purchased my personal data from Mulberry Bush.

I did not opt into this so I contacted them and was told:

“We do have a box for you to tick if you do not wish us to share your data”

This is a breach of GDPR.

Opt-out boxes are not allowed under GDPR.

Assumed consent is not sufficient to sell customer data.

I have explained this to Mulberry Bush but their response was that it is stated in their privacy policy that they will share your personal data unless you opt-out.

Again, this is not permissible under GDPR.

So proceed with caution and be sure to tick the box to opt out of third party contact unless you want your name on the mailing list of 100s of companies and charities!

*****Updated in response to the reply received below:

I spoke with the ICO who confirmed you had breached GDPR by using an opt out box rather than an opt in box.

They will hopefully be in touch to advise you on how to become GDPR compliant.

I really am surprised that even still you are unable to grasp that opt out boxes are not permitted under GDPR.

Dear Customer, we're pleased that you were happy with your order and you felt our customer service was great.

We're sorry to hear you've received lots of unsolicited mail recently; however, we don't believe this is due to buying from Mulberry Bush. You will certainly not have been put on the mailing list of "100s of companies and charities", this is not accurate. To confirm, we are compliant with GDPR legislation, providing details to third-parties only when we believe there is a legitimate interest. Full details of our privacy policy are provided on our website.

Cherry tree Hall Bundle

Considered purchase due to price, but not disappointed - good quality and not to difficult to assemble the house.
The sets are beautiful and intend to keep some back as presents for my granddaughter’s next birthday and this Christmas.

Brought the LIVE Butterfly Farm Kit to…

Brought the LIVE Butterfly Farm Kit to find out that it doesn't come with Live Butterfly larvae! an additional postage cost is required for the Larvae once you receive the hoop in the post? not clear when purchasing this product, the picture showing the kit clearly shows the box of live larvae included so why are you charging again! for posting the whole kit and why is up to the customer to contact the Larvae supplier, surely thats your job? Highly Deceiving to say the least!

Dear Customer, we’re sorry you are disappointed. In the product description on our website we say “The Live Insect Box shown is not sent with this Kit, we supply the voucher, worth £11.99 to order the caterpillars separately, extra postage charge £2.99 for this service”. This is clear, accurate and not deceiving, but I’m sorry if you’ve missed this. If you would like to return the kit to us, please follow the guidance on our returns page for details of how to do this. Regards, Mulberry Bush

Excellent customer service

We had an issue with a Galt product purchased through the site - the people at Mulberry Bush couldn't have been more helpful. They contacted Galt on my behalf and got them to send a replacement part.

They even emailed me after a few days to say they hadn't forgotten about me and were chasing up as they hadn't heard yet from Galt.

Galt sent the item quickly too. All round good experience.

My order got sent to the wrong address

My order got sent to the wrong address. They tried to blame me saying I entered the wrong address when that was not the case. They then said I had to go and collect my order myself or pay for a new one. Disgusting service and a disappointed 4 year old

Dear Customer, we are sorry you are disappointed. We despatched and delivered your order to the delivery address you entered when you ordered on our website, that I'm afraid is the truth of it. This same delivery address was also shown on the Order Acknowledgement email we sent you when you placed the order, prior to despatch. Presumably you did not notice this mistake. After delivering your order to the address you requested, we received a call from the person who lives at that address, kindly advising us that your parcel had gone to him - and so we called you to let you know. The parcel was delivered to exactly the address you requested. We have already emailed you a second copy of the Order Acknowledgement email so you can see this. The delivery address you specified is nearby to you (TQ1 postcode) so we advised that you may want to visit to collect, and that the recipient was happy to help. But we cannot be considered at fault for delivering to the address you specified. We remain happy to help in any way we can, and respectfully ask you to amend your review perhaps once you have re-read your Order Acknowledgement email. Once again, we are sorry you are disappointed. Mulberry Bush

Fantastic company!!

For Christmas 2022 I ordered my son the big yellow crane. Fantastic item - he adores it. Recently, probably due to over excited toddler use, one of the turning wheels came lose which meant he couldn't wind the winch back up. I emailed Mulbery Bush asking if I could buy a replacement part. The following week we got a surprise parcel in the mail. Let me tell you, Mulberry Bush went above and beyond with the replacement item. Little boy absolutely over the moon! Top company! Highly recommend!!

I ordered a puzzle from Mulbery Bush and was disappointed when it did not come. On further investigation we discovered I had put the wrong address on it and hadn’t read the confirmation order which showed the incorrect address I had put.
Thanks to Mulberry Bush for their patience whilst we discovered what had happened. Top tip don’t order late at night.

Possibly the worst shopping decision I…

Possibly the worst shopping decision I ever made. My elderly mum showed me the catalogue and we choose things for my girls for Christmas. It seemed so cute I sent ideas to my mother in law. EVERYTHING MY CHILDREN GOT WAS TOTAL RUBBISH AND BROKE/DIDNT WORK. TOTAL RIP OFF.
Childrens bows and arrows.. didn’t fire even 5cm let alone a meter!! Just flopped down.
The Cats and dogs umbrella broke on first opening the plastic was so flimsy!
The pogo sticks have such stiff springs that they don’t bounce at all! Or even move!
The children hair highlights did nothing not a jot of colour on their hair!
The volcano didn’t erupt! It was rubbish
The sea scope is totally useless you can’t see anything.
We called and complained about the bows ( the other gifts hadn’t been played with opened by then) and they said if we send them back they will refund my mother in law. She received nothing.( see below)
Hundreds of wasted pounds and disappointed children. Do not buy from this scam company!!! I feel sick at the total waste of human time, and landfill rubbish!!!
******And in reply to your answer below about not selling this stuff, that’s total rubbish!!!! I have photo shots from you website! If trust pilot would let me post them I would. You may have changed you catalogue since Christmas which is handy eh!
And sorry yes, my mother in law did find the refund on her account so that’s a small positive. Please take time to try and use the stuff you sell it!

Sorry to hear about your experience. We can't tell from what you've advised who placed your order - and nor do we sell all the items you mentioned. So we're not even sure all these items were purchased from ourselves. We have contacted you to ask for more information and look forward to helping once we hear back.
Update: we haven't heard anything back from you following our request for more information. We would love to help but it's impossible if we can't get any further information from you about who you or your mother-in-law are. And we reiterate, we don't sell all the items you mentioned so I think there may be some confusion.

Oldfield Farm.

We were so pleased with the 'Zoo Building Blocks' that we looked again at Mulberry Bush Toys for our great niece's Christmas present & fell in love with Oldfield Farm & opted for the bundle which seemed excellent value. Received it today, without unpacking it, it all looks to be every bit as good as we'd hoped & we're sure it will be a hit on Christmas morning.

Excellent customer service.

The lady I spoke to on the phone after delivery service took my parcel to wrong address went above and beyond to help me get the parcel back.

Website and toys are stunning.
