Hi,

I am sorry to see that you have had problems with your item that you purchased. I have checked our emails and I cannot see that you have emailed us regarding these problems.

If you can send us pictures showing the problems we will be able to sort them out for you. When we sell products that come into us boxed, we have to rely on the manufacturers having packed them correctly. On the odd occasions when there is an issue, we will always resolve the situation.

We await your email.

Thanks

Chris

Great customer experience

Bought the plum treehouse which is amazing! Best deal was from Wicken toys and loved that they do their own deliveries so no complications with having it delivered and no missing or broken parts! Delivery driver was great and put it round the back garden as requested in a safe place and they came when they said they would with communication. Thanks will order from you again!

They delivered the wrong toy to us

They delivered the wrong toy to us. Fortunately they did pick up that fact after another customer complained they had received our grandsons toy. I hadn't opened it.

The frustration is being left a voicemail saying can we deliver the toy tomorrow but we will only leave it if we can pick up the one they incorrectly delivered.

They blamed the delivery company when in fact the package delivered to me had my name and address.

Personally I find that misses the point and is insulting. They hadn't delivered what we had paid for and then setting an undertone of threat on us - you dont get what you paid for unless we get ours back. Not great.

It also took a week to deliver which was to suit them, not me and not any offer of compensation. Price was average so I won't be buying more from here based upon the attitude.

Hello Michael,

I apologise that you had the wrong item delivered. It was entirely our fault as the warehouse put the wrong label on the wrong box. We cannot blame the delivery company for that as they do not label the boxes, they pick up the box’s with the labels already attached.

This was identified when another customer notified us of the error. It was at this point that we investigated the issue and contacted you to advise you of the mistake. You had received the item but were unaware that it was the wrong item. I believe you said that you needed it for the 28th March, so we had until then to swap it over which meant that we could do it when we were next in your area. Luckily ou have been well prepared and ordered with plenty of spare time. Good for you, so many people leave it until the last minute!

l can see that we left you a voice mail on 20th March at 10:04 am asking you to contact us as we were in your area on 21st so we could swap the items, we also sent an email.

We then left another voicemail at 16:46, before we closed at 17:00 advising that we would call in on 21st but we would not be able to leave the item without knowing that you were going to be there to make the exchange and we advised that the driver would be there between 8:30 and 10:30.

We apologise if this sounds threatening it was certainly not intended to make you feel that way. When we deliver in our own vans, we do not leave anything on a door step unless we have been in contact with the customer so that they know it is coming as this can create other issues.

We hope your grandson enjoys the Go kart.

Kind regards

Wicken Toys
