⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Alisha (Kenji Store) delivers Outstanding Customer Service!!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Outstanding customer service received by Sales Assistant Alisha!

I visited the Kenji store in Stratford Westfield on Thursday while looking for a specific figure/doll for my 4-year-old son. I thought Kenji might sell something similar, but unfortunately they didn’t stock it.

Instead of simply telling me they didn’t have it, Alisha went completely above and beyond to help. She asked me to show her a picture of the item, then used her own phone to identify exactly what it was, find out where it was being sold, and even check if it was in stock.

I honestly haven’t come across a sales assistant this helpful in years. Her willingness to help — even when it wasn’t something the store sold — was incredibly kind and genuinely impressive.

Kenji is very lucky to have someone like Alisha on their team. Thank you again for the amazing service!

Amazing service

I had a specific plush that I wanted and couldn't find in both the Liverpool and Manchester stores and so I emailed them and they were so so helpful. They told where to find it and sent it to the store for me to pick up and it was very quick and easy service. They were so sweet. Mel specifically was the one i was keeping in contact with throughout this whole process. Thank you!

Exceptional customer service from Kenji! I purchased a plush in store, and unfortunately the seams came apart within just two days. I contacted their customer service to request a replacement, hoping to avoid having to travel back to the store. They responded immediately and sent out a replacement with no hassle at all. The process was quick, easy, and stress-free. Really impressed with how they handled it—this is customer service done right!

Thanks Mel!

Disappointing experience at Merry Hill…

Disappointing experience at Merry Hill Kenji store

Visited the Merry Hill Kenji store this evening to discuss a faulty item we purchased, A drinks cup that turned out to be defective. Unfortunately, the staff were unwilling to help and showed little interest in resolving the issue. The manager even referred to what looked like a store guidebook, but there was no apology or effort to offer a solution.

We were simply told that items can’t be returned after 28 days, even though this wasn’t a return, it was a faulty product. There’s no clear faulty goods policy on the receipt or in the guidebook they checked. Instead, we were just given an email address to contact and the manager refused to provide his name so we could reference who we spoke to.

Overall, the lack of customer service and accountability was really disappointing

Visited the Trafford store today with my daughter. She had picked something up that was clearly priced and tried to charge me more at the till. Wouldn’t honour the price and the manager even went as far to sneakily move the item elsewhere and make out I was lying about it.

Faulty Product but still useable

I bought the Chita Sheep mug and it didn't come with the small crowns attached to the spoon and mug lid, overall fairly disappointed because i bought this for a bday present and cannot return it in time since i drove an hour to get to the shopping centre, aswell the lines were very long and the staff seemed very overworked from the amount of customers. This was the one in Trafford btw xx

Odd Socks, No Reply

Occasionally by socks for my wife here, normally fine. One pair came apart at the seams. Who keeps receipts for socks!?

People at the store fob you off with the support email address. The support address is simply a no-reply (tried two different Gmail addresses).

Appalling customer service (and their designs are so derivative).

Chemicals on teddies?!?

I went into a store to buy a teddy for my baby which I gave to her while walking over to buy it.
Within 30 seconds of playing with it she started screaming, her eye was swelling up and her face had a red rash all over!
She had an allergic reaction but to what she’s not allergic to the materials used on this teddy she has loads at home.
I emailed to company to inform them after I informed hmv and they think cleaning products were sprayed on it! I’ve had no update on the situation when all I want to know is what caused my child to be in pain for days!
