Would have given 5 stars but items were missing

I bought the newborn sensory box on a discount as could not justify paying £76. The maraca was missing as was, from what I could see on the advertisement, the play guide. I contacted customer services repeatedly. Their automated response said I would receive a reply within 24 hours. After nearly a week I’ve had zero response. This is very disappointing. I had not read the reviews (I wish I had) and it’s a tell tale sign when the comments for their posts on Facebook have been switched off. I would have said nice things about the product but poor customer service trumps everything.

Sensory Box

Very pleased with the Sensory Box I purchased for my Grandson.
Had missing items but this was resolved by sending an email to customer services .
Thankyou Rob for chasing this up.

I wish I’d read the reviews to prepare myself. Still not received my order after weeks, I did get a reply to my customer service request but they blamed royalties Mail, despite them not being able to provide proof of postage or tracking. Ive waited another week and still no updates and now ignoring emails. I find that when companies honestly communicate that it’s a busy season and there may be a delay on orders, customers are understanding, and it can help them make the decision of if they are willing to wait. I think the biggest frustration with them is the lack of customer service with the delays, so I really hope they read these reviews, take on board the feedback and do better!!

I regret not reading these reviews

I regret not reading these reviews. I have a similar poor experience. As the wife of a small business owner, I suspect they are a small business unable to keep up with demand. If you’re happy to wait weeks for your product, days for reply to customer services queries, and receive your product in a damaged ungiftable condition then go ahead. Otherwise I would suggest to avoid.

Brilliant company with excellent customer service

Initially my order didn’t arrive but the customer service team, Rob in particular went out of their way to track the order with Royal Mail and ensure replacements were delivered with the 24 hour delivery service and also issued a full refund for the inconvenience. Absolutely excellent customer care. The items ordered and subsequently received were just as beautiful as advertised. Excellent company I will definitely be ordering from them again.

Initially had a missing item but was resolved and sent out swiftly. Nice variety of items but quite costly if you are counting the pennies.

Although I did initially miss an item in the sensory box it was promptly delivered after sending an email to the team. I think this is a small team who run the business so replying to the probable hundreds of new customers daily is probably quite time consuming. I did see the other reviews about delays in delivery but still went ahead and gave it a leap of faith. I think it took just over a week to reach me but I’m quite a patient person. The build quality and variety of items is good but still quite expensive for what you get but my newborn has enjoyed use of all the items so I’m relatively happy with my purchase and I thank them for promptly sending the missing item.

Firstly the parcel did take quite a while to arrive, as allot of other customers have stated (not a big issue for me).
I purchased the newborn sensory box which I’m not really sure how they can justify charging £44 for as the items seem very inexpensive, and the fact that the website states that the box is usually charged at £76 seems ludicrous,
I also received one item that was different to what was advertised (tummy time born was not included) instead I received a material square.
I also find that the wooden maraca seems quite unsafe, heavy and hard and my baby could quite easily hit himself in the head with it.
I love the concept of the sensory box but I think the price point is abit unfair for what’s included.

The package came 3 weeks after placing the order! No response from the support team after sending three emails on three different occasions. When the parcel finally arrived the set was incomplete with 2 items missing!
Sent an email requesting a refund or return information and am yet to receive a response but honestly not sure if I will considering the experience so far

Returns

I purchased the sensory box as a gift, but the recipient already had the same item. Since the website states there’s a 30-day return policy, I reached out twice via email and also sent a message on Instagram to request a refund. Unfortunately, I haven’t received any response. This is really disappointing, especially as the site also promises email replies within 24 hours—it's now been well beyond that. Very poor customer service so far.

Hi Lauren,

We're extremely sorry to hear you've had a poor experience with us. Having searched for your query and name (in both our emails and customer service platform) we're unfortunately unable to find your email regarding this - so maybe it hasn't arrived with us? This will be why you haven't had a response.

We have absolutely no problem at all in providing you with a free paid for Tracked returns label, alongside your refund even after the standard 30 days offered on our website. We're more than happy to do this for all customers.

Unfortunately as our team is so small, we're unable to provide customer support across our emails and social channels, so we do want people to email us directly for us to sort asap.

If you're able to email us at support@priyaandpeanut.com, we'll jump onto this and get your return in process immediately with your refund in full too.

Thank you,
Rob - Co-founder @ Priya & Peanut

Very disappointed with the quality of the items in the newborn sensory box. I was expecting a very high quality product as it is from a family run business and for the high price paid. The gift is for my newborn grandson and now I’m hoping that the return process is an easy one as he’s going to be here any day now. I have emailed as requested to begin the return and so fingers crossed the company will be quick in sorting this for me.

Terrible company

Waited two weeks for my order, when ordering it states 48 hours! The box has finally arrived but has items missing. Getting in touch with someone is almost impossible again states someone will be in touch within 24 hours which isn’t the case. Expensive, quality is poor and the customer service is shocking!

Hi,

I'm so sorry to hear that your order not only took longer than expected to arrive, but also contained a missing item - I can only apologise about this. Can you please contact support@priyaandpeanut.com so we're able to get this sorted for you?

I'm not entirely sure where we've written your order will be delivered within 48 hours, as our shipping methods suggest 1 working day for dispatch + up to 7 working days for delivery. Orders can unfortunately go missing in transit or delivered to the incorrect address / safe place, which may've been the case with this order. That being said, we do take your comments on board and will look to speed up the shipping methods we use.

We do aim to respond to all queries within 24 hours, however depend on how busy this is, it may take slightly longer. Our team also doesn't work weekends or bank holidays.

Please get in touch and we will rectify this for you and provide you with an additional refund as an apology also.

Kindest,

The Priya & Peanut Team

Poor customer service & product

Sadly a poorly run small business. Being a small business owner myself I feel very let down and wouldn't wish this service on anyone.

Took 11 days to arrive with a non-tracklable shipping option. Spoke with Rob in emails, and have had iffy customer service experience tbh.

Products are of poor quality for the money and not of gift-able condition to a new parent (family member)

Website states they will get back to you within 24 hours... 9 days later I finally have a return label.

Sadly very disappointing.

Hi Hollie,

We're extremely sorry to hear this is how you feel.

I can see that from emailing our support team to our response, there was only a wait of 38 minutes. As we are a legitimate family run business with only a few members of staff, we're unable to man every platform to give fast responses, hence why we do recommend emailing our support team, as responses are typically made within 24 hours - of which this was.

I can see that this did unfortunately arrive 1 day after our expected delivery window, which most definitely wasn't over 2 weeks in total.

All of our items are designed in house by Anna for Priya & Peanut and we hold stock of our products - these items certainly aren't drop shipped, please feel free to review these sites, as you won't find any of our designed products on there.

Attempting to disregard and attack our small business, reputation and family story with your made up lies and assumptions, without even allowing us to respond to your questions, worries and queries is really upsetting and hurtful for small businesses like ours.

We can take accountability for speeding up our dispatch and delivery times and will take your review on-board to better and speed up our processes.

Thanks,
The Priya & Peanut Team

Order not received

Do not order. Waited 2 weeks and paid £50 for the new born sensory and only received the maraca. Emailed 3x and no response!

Hi Lindsay,

Thank you for your order and review.

I have since reviewed the chat logs with our customer support advisor and tracking and can see that your entire order was delivered in full just a few days after this review.

Unfortunately from what I can see, we had to re-dispatch the entire order out for you, as the original order looks to have been lost in transit. I can see that the team had also refunded you £5 back as an apology for the troubles you had with your order.

We appreciate your review and have taken your comments onboard to better our business and it's practices moving forward.

Thank you,

The Priya & Peanut Team

Hi,

We're incredibly sorry to hear that this is how you think about our product. Had you have emailed us directly, we'd have been more than happy to provide a swift return & refund for you, to ensure you're satisfied.

In regards to the pen marks, our pens are kept away from the products on our packing station, so I'm really unsure how these may have come about. Again, had you have emailed we'd have been more than happy to have replaced these items.

As a small family-run business, feedback and reviews like this are paramount to us and the decisions we make, so please do email us at support@priyaandpeanut.com and we'll be more than happy to get this sorted for you immediately.

Thanks,
Anna & Rob - Founders @ Priya & Peanut

Excellent products and great service on all occasions.

As we have 8 grandchildren we have placed several orders with Priya & Peanut over the past 4 or 5 years and have always been really happy in fact delighted with both the quality of the designs, products and the overall service. As long as we are blessed with more grandchildren we will purchase gifts from this company and recommend them to all of our friends and family.

Very dissappointed with the quality

I received a few baby & early learning products and sadly was very disappointed. It seems to be a company that imitates other small business products but at a much lower quality and a much higher price.I would not recommend. I suspect made in China.

Hello,

Sorry to hear your disapointed with our products, had you have emailed us we would have been more than happy to issue you a full refund or exchange on any unwanted items.

We are a small, family run business with 3 people making up the team. We pride ourselves on quality both in the materials used and the designs and illustrations being created in house in the UK. Our Early Learning flashcards are printed in the UK, as are all of our stationarwary. A few of our fabric items are made in China, which we are open and honest about.

Based on our customer survey feedback and reviews on our website, I feel it is fair to say our Flashcards are competitvely priced to those on the market and our customers are pleased with the quality, price and delivery recieved.

I am again so sorry that your individual experience has been different to this and if you would like to email us at support@priyaandpeanut.com I will gladly help you in returing your items for your money back.

Kindest

Hi Jessica,

Firstly, I can see that your order did arrive to you shortly after leaving this review, of which we can only put this down to us dispatching this item slightly later than expected (due to the weekend) and the fact that Royal Mail had updated us to inform us of expected delays due to the snow & icy conditions at the time - ultimately, of which we should've been better and emailed you on so you knew that the order may arrive delayed, of which we can only apologise about.

As we're still an extremely small team (and handle the customer support ourselves) we're unable to spread ourselves to message requests on Instagram too, so can only apologise about the slight delay in the response you received via email.

Kind regards,
Anna & Rob - Founders @ Priya & Peanut

New Born Sensory Box

New Born Sensory Box
I got this package for my babygirl and as a first time mom I could not be more pleased with the product and service. My babygirl absolutely loves everything we got in the package, she uses everything on a daily basis and I can’t wait to continue to get the other sensory boxes to help and watch her learn and grow.
