I expected much more for the price
I expected much more for the price. I ordered inflatable boxing bag with water base. The product is very cheaply made and feels flimsy. On top of that, it took an entire month to arrive. Definitely overpriced for what you actually get. Save your money and look elsewhere.

Scam
Do not bother.
The item was a quarter of the size of what the website showed. Poor quality made in China. I asked for a refund and was advised I can either pay to send it back or receive 30% refund. Although the item was falsely advertised the seller took no responsibility.
The customer service was prompt but not helpful. Total scam.

A waste of time and energy - Australian kids ban
Hello Sarah,
You got to be kidding me.
In one of your previous email, I was asked not to return the product
I refuse to pay for the postage if it isn't covered by your company. This would incur additional costs.
After all these emails from your end, I now wish to get a refund of AUD $55.90.
Your company is a fraud and a total scam. I am going to publish your response and mine on Trustpilot. Your company cannot be trusted and should be banned in Australia.
I wish Trustpilot take you to ACC to submit a proposal to ban your company and using the name Australian Kids.
There is no point of offering a 30% refund when the entire mess has occurred from your end. You are just wasting my time.

To exercise your right of withdrawal, please return the goods to the following address:

Please use a shipping method with a tracking number so we can properly track your return. Please note that we do not provide a return label and do not cover return shipping costs. Your refund will be processed once the package has arrived at our warehouse.

Hi Team,
Based on the response received on Trustpilot, I would appreciate is the
following could be organised:
- A replacement of the order I placed which is Alphabetical Learning Chart
- The packaging to be well received in a rolled up tube package as I need
to present it.
- If this is not possible, then a refund for the payment made towards this
order which is AUD $55.90
Depending on the response and decision, I will update the review on
Trustpilot accordingly.
Seriously, by using the name Australian Kids is misleading as this isn't a Australian based company. It is based in China 🇨🇳 and Hong Kong 🇭🇰 . They shouldn't be able to trade under this name and be banned. It is deceiving and misleading Australian customers.

NOTHING LIKE THE PHOTOS ON THEIR WEB…
NOTHING LIKE THE PHOTOS ON THEIR WEB SITE!!!!!!
I ordered the Colour Match Logic Game, what a huge disappointment. The pictures on the web site show the size of the game while the young children are playing with it and picking up the marbles. The game arrived and is not much bigger than the palm of my small hand and the marbles are around 6mm round. MUCH smaller than it is advertised on their web site. The marbles are a huge chocking risk to any young children. I emailed and advised the issue and was promptly advised that I could return the game at my cost but the return must be registered so it can be tracked and was given a return address in China! Which would be around the cost of the product, so why bother.. Stupid me for not looking at the reviews before purchasing the product, as there is no way I would have bought from them.

Hello Treinna,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. I’m really sorry to hear that the Colour Match Logic Game did not meet your expectations and that the size of the product was different from what you anticipated based on the website images. We understand how disappointing that must have been.
Product images are intended to demonstrate how the game is played, but we appreciate that this can sometimes create confusion about the actual size. Your feedback is important, and we will pass it on to our team to review how the product is presented so that sizing is clearer for customers.
Regarding the return, we understand your concerns about the cost of shipping. Our returns process requires items to be sent back using a tracked service so they arrive safely and can be processed correctly, but we recognize that international shipping costs can sometimes make this frustrating.
We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review and share your experience.

Very disappointing!
I ordered 3 gifts for Xmas fo my grandchildren very disappointing.
They were ordered 27 Nov 25.
I received an email asking me to rate the product on the 15 Dec 25. A product I hadn’t received which they then followed up.
The package was delivered on the 27th December damaged. The three boxes were damaged and one of the toys was inoperable.
I have been corresponding with this company for a refund $74 the broken toy since and still waiting. Being told it’s being forwarded for processing. Repetitive emails saying in the same thing.
How do they sleep at night knowing they ripping off little children of their gifts!
Definitely no recommendations from me!

Refused to pay refund
I accidentally paid for my purchase with an incorrect card....asked for order to be cancelled, which it was, then I ordered with another card number. Parcel arrived, box was i little dented but as it came from overseas not Australia like they said it's to be expected. However....they have refused to give me a refund on the original purchase even though order was cancelled. Emails are not answered either...will definitely not be ordering from this company again. Authorities have been advised of refusal to answer emails and refusal to pay refund.

Dreadful, misleading company
Do not buy anything. It is not an Australian company, photos on the website are all AI and despite being led to believe I was paying in Aust dollars, I was charged in another currency, so had to pay currency conversion fees. The packaging is terrible, and the products are shockingly bad quality, arrived damaged, and the electronic orb doesn't actually work. They were supposed to be Christmas gifts but it would have been embarrassing to give this junk to someone.
I've emailed multiple times requesting a refund and had no response. I'm now initiating a chargeback. They're not getting away with this!

I ordered a Colour Match Logic Game - it was very very small - broken already - and something you would expect to buy at the Reject Shop for 50 cents.

This is not worth any stars for this review. Looks like a cheap toy in a trashy showbag. I paid $19.90 plus postage for this game for my husband and I to play when away in the caravan - what a joke!

Very very disappointed
Very very disappointed, the item took a long time to even be posted let alone receive. One finally received it was packaged terribly. Then the product…. Was absolutely awful, I wouldn’t even think about giving it to any kids. There was loose electrical wires hanging out not to mention the item didn’t even work ! Talking to the company was one of the most difficult things going weeks with out reply emails after giving well below customer service. I couldn’t recommend steering clear from this company any more!
It is extremely disappointing so only see a reasonable response without chasing your company on here where the world can see . Theses issue where brought to your attention in numerous emails including videos and pictures and only now are you willing to take accountability shame on you.
