Unlike any other company there is no way to cancel an order. even if its 30 seconds after making the initial transaction. They will send you the item, even if it takes 2 weeks to fulfill the order and then make you send it back. Not a surprise that the company is going out of business. Terrible company trapped in the 80's.

A very small store (fosse park, Leics)

The store at Fosse Park in Leicester is very underwhelming and small. It’s situated at the back of a WHSmiths and didn’t necessarily have anything in there that WHSmith wouldn’t normally have (apart from the giraffes of course) so it was a bit disappointing

Bought a bike for my daughters…

Bought a bike for my daughters birthday. It stated that delivery is typically within 4 working days and come the 4th day I had not received a dispatch update or tracking number so I contacted toys r us and they explained that it can take up to 7 working days and that this is clear on the website. I sent a screenshot of the (delivery within 4 working days) and explained that its not clear. Customer service did not acknowledge or apologise just provided the tracking number and it hadn't even been dispatched. If I knew it would take X amount of days I would not have purchased. It's my daughters birthday today and it looks like it won't arrive until next week now due to it being the weekend. I've only just seen the poor reviews. Won't be purchasing again unfortunately.

Sorry to hear the customer service you experienced didn't meet expectations. Our product pages on all bikes do state delivery up to 7 working days as these come direct from the supplier, however apologies if this was missed and wasn't clear enough.

I ordered my son’s birthday present on…

I ordered my son’s birthday present on Saturday with next day delivery it’s now Wednesday and still no delivery. My sons birthday is on Thursday and this was his own present we could afford to get him his first bike and his so exited to get it. We can’t afford to go perches another bike and now the stress and anxiety it has caused me and my wife is not acceptable. I have wrote 4 emails and not heard anything back from this company. Would never use them again.

I paid for express next day delivery

I paid for express next day delivery, the deadline already passed and the shop still did not even despatch my order.
Update: I received my parcel 1 day later than expected, which is quite good except for the fact that this delay caused me some worry because I was ordering a gift that was needed by the particular time.
Toys are good, but the box is a bit deformed.

Dear Rani,

I sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused by the delay in receiving your parcel.

Upon investigating your order, I can see that it was dispatched promptly for next day delivery as promised. While we strive to maintain this commitment, unforeseen courier delays occasionally arise, over which we have limited control.

To address the delay, I have initiated a refund for the shipping cost, which will be credited back to your account.

According to the courier's tracking information, your order is anticipated to be delivered today.

Should you have any further concerns or queries, I kindly request that you contact us directly at orders@toysrus.co.uk. We prioritise resolving any issues promptly and to your satisfaction.

Your understanding in this matter is greatly appreciated, and we hope our swift response and resolution encourage you to reconsider your review.

Once again, I apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Kind regards,
Emma

Very Good Service

After reading so many bad comments after I had placed my order I was a little worried.
However the order was placed on Friday & the toy arrived on the Monday nicely packaged and undamaged & delivery was free,
So no complaints from me as I am very happy with their service & they kept me up to date by e Mail in relation to the status of my order.Cant ask any more than that

Emma the lady that was the toysrus

the lady that was ToysRUs representative Emma was so kind and helpful from start to finish.I didn’t realise that this lady was going to help with my issue on the same day. I’m so happy I was dealt with in a great manner with my issue being kept up to date feedback.

Many thanks,

Only good things to say about toys r us

I was very worried after I placed my order and read the reviews on here. But I’ve had a really good experience. The toys I ordered were better than half price and were delivered within 7 days of me placing the order. The only fault I have is with Royal Mail. They left my delivery in someone else’s storage box up the road which is bizarre.

Excellent service

Excellent service, so firstly I didn’t even realise toys r us was still operating since stores shut down and after ordering Xmas gifts from another online toy store that completely failed at fulfilling order (I never received any , review of shop on my page) I search for the missing items saw toys r us and took a chance and was extremely impressed everything was in stock and delivery super fast despite Xmas madness tracking was up to date and informative so 5 🌟s will definitely be using again and happy kids in the end 😁

Dreadful company that doesn't honour orders

Unfortunately not the same company as their namesake which went bust. Which is a shame as they used to actually honour orders.
This current company I have ordered from twice in recent months and both times they have failed to honour the order due to 'stock issues'. Upgrade required for them to correct this so they stop disappointing customers. This time I had to email them in order to get a refund as they were happy just to hold my money for over a week with no email or anything to say what was happening.

Hi Dan,

I'm really sorry it's taking a long time to respond to your review. We are trying to reach out to some customers to hopefully resolve any past issues and learn from our mistakes so we can avoid them in future.

I’m so sorry that you didn’t have a great experience with us due to stock availability. This has been a strong focus of ours for the new year, and new teams and systems have been put in place to avoid this being an issue in future. I’m so sorry it effected your order and we hope in future we are able to change your opinion around to a positive one.

Thank you, Emma.

This would be no stars

This would be no stars! Ordered my daughter the Emily doll to say it’s been dispatched! To email and ask where it is to say it’s cancelled due to stock issues!

Now I have no doll for my daughter’s Xmas as I bought from here! Money taken! SCAM

DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY!!!!

Worst customer service

I have to put one star. Probably the worst customer service I have ever experienced. Would not buy anything from toys r us again, return policy doesn’t work and no complaints procedure. Left with a toy with missing parts.
Avoid many other options available, toys cheaper on here for a reason as they don’t care if you have issues

Hi Neil,

I'm really sorry it's taking a long time to respond to your review. We are trying to reach out to some customers to hopefully resolve any past issues and learn from our mistakes so we can avoid them in future.

I’m sorry you didn’t have a great experience with us. I have found your email back in December and can see our Customer Services did try and assist with this, however I’m afraid with LEGO products they do have a specialised replacements and faults team that deal with all these types of enquiries.

We believe we now have stronger processes and teams in place to assist better going forward.

We do hope we can change your opinion around in future, but we do understand your frustration and appreciate the feedback you’ve provided so that we can continue improving our services.

Thank you, Emma.

Good experience with a little anxiety

I placed an order on Saturday as the offers available were excellent compared to other stores/sites. I was updated by email to say my order had been processed. I paid for my order to be dispatched on Monday which didn't happen unfortunately. That's when saw the poor reviews on here which made me very worried! I had no contact from the company with any further updates after my order had been processed. I then decided to contact customer services on Tuesday who were very prompt in responding and had my items dispatched via royal mail 48 (although should have sent my order via royalmail 24). Everything arrived well packaged and in excellent condition by Thursday. I was also sent regular updates after my items were dispatched. Overall I would order again but worry about dispatch times and that I'll need to chase up my order via customer services again, who I can only hope will be prompt in their response time as they were for me on this occasion.
