This was an unknown website for me but impressed by the selection of toys on offer. The microscope I bought looks robust - untried at time of writing. Delivered within a couple of days as requested. Would use this site again.

Excellent service
Excellent service, fast delivery, no complaints. Loved that I could get free gift wrapping and it looked beautiful on arrival (only slight problem is we then didn't know what was what so had to sneak a peak in one or two!). Pleased with quality of items too. Would definitely shop here again

All good now
An update. Amazingly fast response to my original feedback. Full refund provided, plus detailed and useful explanation. Very pleased. It’s good to see a seller who are keen to both keep their customers happy, and explore why something wasn’t up to their standards. Much appreciated.

successful birthday present in time!
Delivery in time for a birthday present - quick and easy to choose a gift and the thought put into having wrapping and batteries are very thoughtful extras. The box it was delivered in was way too big but that was probably a choice by Fedex!
