Excellent experience I have to share...

This is my 2nd purchase from Mulberry Bush. When I recently encountered an issue with my items not being delivered (by Royal Mail), Andrea was on hand to help, to make sure I received my order in time for Christmas. All 3 wooden toys all arrived the next day. Amazing outstanding customer service by Mulberry Bush Ltd. I will definitely be shopping here again. My Granddaughter absolutely loved her new wooden toys, such good quality. Thank you so much!

Outstanding

With our TNT parcel full of grandkids Christmas presents lost in transit, one call to Mulberry Bush made our Christmas. They turned around a full list of toys, packaged and sent to arrive the next day....just before Santa.
Our number one go to shop in the future.
Thanks
Happy grandparents

Absolutely ludicrous postage charges

Absolutely ludicrous postage charges. They offer free delivery but only over the £75 mark which is very high! They say they offer returns but these are not free and no returns labels are provided; these have to be printed out by you so impossible if you don’t have a printer. You also have to foot the bill for postage yourself and if your return brings you back under 75 they take £4 postage off your refund!!!!! I’ve sent back a £19 toy and only ended up getting back £11 (they refunded £15 having reclaimed their original ‘free’ postage and it cost me £4 to return) not to mention the inconvenience of actually organising the return. Very poor way to treat customers who are spending a lot of money.

Dear Customer, sorry to hear you are disappointed. Our returns policy is clearly shown on our website. Nowhere do we advise that we offer free returns. The cost of postage is more than the cost we ask customers to pay, our standard P&P rate of the £3.99 is just a contribution to that cost. When customers return items to bring them to an order total that originally would not qualify for free delivery it is fair and reasonable to then change that P&P, and that is what we do. Had you ordered originally without that item then there would have been a P&P change. Again, this is explained on our website. You will understand that we do have to cover costs - the cost of fuel, courier drivers, packaging etc is expensive. Just commenting on the item you actually returned - it arrived back with us in damaged packaging making it not resaleable... even though the item itself was fine. It was not protected in the parcel you returned to us. Nevertheless we refunded you for the item. Once again, we are sorry you are disappointed. We would refer other readers of this review to reviews.co.uk where most customers give us reivews to see that vast majority of our reviews are very good.

This was my first order with this…

This was my first order with this company and most certainly will not be the last. Very quick and efficient. I ordered a Poppy Rag Doll and it arrived very quickly and very well packed. I will definitly shop again as there is such a good choice of toys for varying ages. Thank you.

Le Grand Garage

I recently bought Le Grand Garage with Vehicle Bundle for my 2 year old grandson .( I'd previously ordered a toy garage from another company and was very disappointed, parts missing, less solid and poorer quality, - it was subsequently returned).
Having spoken with very helpful Paul at Mulberry Bush about this wooden garage, I ordered it. Delivery was prompt, the items were beautifully wrapped/protected and construction instructions very clear.( took me a couple of hours).
The garage is absolutely beautiful, a really superior product and definitely worth the money paid. The component parts are sturdy & strong and the detail of it, and the vehicles are delightful.
The joy on my grandson's face as he opened his present was priceless. He has spent many hours playing with his garage and at the moment is getting particular joy out of filling the cars with petrol!I expect this garage will be a favourite toy for a long time to come.
I know the importance of making the right decision when spending this amount of money and as such, I have no hesitation in recommending this garage (and vehicles) to other customers.

Wonderful Sunday lunch

Wonderful Sunday lunch. The staff went out of their way to look after our large group of 10 in the upstairs dining room. One of the best pub roasts I have had, with great service.

Glad you liked your lunch! However, I think you may have mixed us up with a different business of a similar name- we sell children's toys, we're not a pub or a restaurant! Nevertheless, we're glad you enjoyed your lunch ;-)

Excellent company and I return to use them again

I purchased the Cherry Tree Hall wooden dolls house for my 3 year old grand-daughter for Christmas with accessories from this company and cannot rate them highly enough. The website was easy to use, delivery excellent and prompt and the house and accessories were well packed for shipment. The bundle package offered by the Mulberry was excellent as it worked out cheaper than buying the accessories required for the house separately.

The wooden toys from Le Toy Van range are excellent and well made and are played with daily as they are loved by my grand-daughter (I will write a separate review on the companies profile). This was one excellent Christmas present (expensive but worth it)!

Would highly recommend this company, their delivery and customer service. I will be returning again for future purchases.

Further to "No Quibble". Nonsense.

Thank you for your reply to my review. There are a couple of points with which I take issue. The "dexterity" which you note is a requirement to use the toy is beyond the ability of the children and therefore they will not learn from it. I found it impossible to balance half of the figures included. As for the question of refund or exchange: in my phone call asking to return the item, I asked for a credit note so that I could purchase goods of equal value. There seemed little point in a replacement with the same failings; I was told the options were exchange or refund, and so I had no real choice. May I suggest a "No Quibble" returns policy should include a third option, alternative replacement(s), post free in both directions (ie in returning the item which fails to meet requirements, and for alternative selections to the same value). On my budget, I cannot afford to purchase educational items if this involves a loss every time an item does not meet the requirements.

Thanks for your further comment. The toy itself is recommended by the manufacturer as suitable for ages 3 to 6, and in our testing we found no reason to disagree with this assessment. With regards the returns options that were open to you from what you explain there has been some confusion, which I should clarify. The offer of an exchange is not just to allow exchange for the same item, it is also to allow you to exchange for a different item of the same value - which we would post to you free of further P&P. I'm sorry if this was not made clear to you before (see our Returns Policy on our website for full details). If you wish, you are welcome still to follow this route - but you will need to call us to arrange this. Because we have refunded you already, we would need to take additional payment for the same amount you were refunded - but you would then have the full £18.99 to spend (ie the value of the item) - and there would be no further delivery change. I hope this helps explain the situation, and why we feel justified in calling our policy a No Quibble Returns policy. Please do call us if we can be of further assistance. Many thanks, Paul Copeland

First Class Quality and Delivery

The speed of delivery and quality of the item received was first class. I will definitely be using the site again, and will be recommending to my family and friends. A brilliant find on the Google search engine.!

Great service, great products

I recently came across Mulberry Bush Ltd having received one of their catalogues in the post. I loved the great range of thoughtfully selected toys and decided to place an order for a couple of items for my Granddaughter's birthday. I was pleasantly surprised at the great customer service I received. The phone was answered promptly and the lady who took my order was very polite, friendly and efficient. My parcel arrived in the timescale I was quoted. The parcel was well packed and the items I ordered were of a very good quality at a competitive price. Thank you Mulberry Bush I will be ordering again.

Excellent Quality and Customer Service

Hi, I have ordered twice recently and have been very impressed with the customer service and quality of the items. I like the fact that their gifts are unique and some were Birthday presents for my daughter's friends and there was no duplication from other friends! I did have a problem with one item but this issue was resolved very quickly once I gave details of the fault and a replacement was provided. Would highly recommend, website easy to use and staff on phone very helpful and knowledgeable. Christmas order coming soon!

Dear Nicola,

Sorry once again to hear you are disappointed – but we feel you are being totally unreasonable. We would rarely say this of a customer but unfortunately by making unfair statements publicly like this on Facebook, Twitter and Trustpilot and by sending aggressive and rude emails to us we feel it is only fair for us to explain exactly what happened so other customers can see this.

As explained, you ordered on Friday using our Next Day service. We are very clear on our website that this means delivery the next working day, which is exactly when we delivered your parcel. Your order was placed Friday, it arrived Monday – the next working day.

We separately offer a Saturday delivery service but you did not select this service when ordering.

When you first complained you sent an aggressive email threatened to complain in public if we did not give you a full refund for your postage. This felt to us like blackmail. You have now gone public as you threatened so we feel it is only fair for us to explain exactly what happened.

As we have also explained, you are welcome to return your parcel using our free returns service.

Throughout all communications with you my team have been very professional and have clearly and politely explained what happened and what your options are. We pride ourselves on giving very good customer service and the reviews we receive on https://www.reviews.co.uk/company-reviews/store/mulberrybush-co-uk or https://www.google.com/shopping/customerreviews/merchantreviews?q=mulberrybush.co.uk show we’re doing pretty well.

Yours sincerely

Awful company

Awful company. Very aggressive and poor customer service when complaint made about faulty item and having to stay in for 10 hours for a failed collection with a young baby. Promised call backs never happened and over priced. Same goods cheaper elsewhere with better customer service.

Sorry you feel disappointed with our customer service. We believe we did everything we could to help you with your order and we are sorry you were not satisfied.

We sent your original parcel very promptly but it did get delayed by a day or two in the Royal Mail network. It did however arrive with you in good time for the birthday date that we'd noted for your order.

You subsequently reported that the baby walker had a fault. We arranged an immediate replacement of your baby walker, this was checked before despatch and was 100% perfect. The walker in question is very popular and an excellent quality baby walker, there are very rarely any problems with it. But upon receipt of the replacement you were not happy with the quality of it so you rejected it. In the meantime you continued to use your original walker.

You then called us a few times to ask us to give you a gift to compensate for our 'poor customer service'. You simply wanted us to give you the item that your Mother had previously intended to order. We explained we believed we had done everything we could to help with your order - and we were continuing to do so - but that we could not just give you this extra item as a gift. We would still be happy to help further with your baby walker but we won't just give you a free gift.

With regards to our customer service, we are delighted that the vast majority of our customers give us five stars on Google Reviews and reviews.co.uk. Of course there are always areas where we can improve but we are pleased that most customers do think we provide good customer service.

Once again, we would still be happy to help further with your baby walker but we won't just give you a free gift.

Best wishes
Paul

Used this company for years and years, so thought they were brilliant; until something was wrong with a product. Then they insisted the product was fine and no-one else had a problem! They did not give us our money back.

Hi Jay,
Sorry to hear you've had this experience. I cannot find a recent order from you, we have no record of anyone with your surname ordering for a long long time. Can you advise what your order number was so we can investigate this for you?
Thanks

Requested and paid for gift wrap

Requested and paid for gift wrap. Item not gift wrapped, complained, no response and money not returned. My experience is this company is dishonest.

Dear Catherine,
Sorry to hear you were not happy with the service you received from Mulberry Bush. We have just double-checked and we have honestly never received any emails, letters or phone calls from you about this - we were not aware that this had happened. Can you perhaps provide us with more details, including your order number and your surname, so we can investigate this for you? Right now all we know is that you are "Catherine". Please either reply on TrustPilot (if this is possible), email us (sales@mulberrybush.co.uk) or call us (01403790796) and we will resolve this for you immediately.
Please accept our apologies for this error, we look forward to being able to resolve this for you
Best wishes
