Bought some school stationery from here…
Bought some school stationery from here and the quality of the pencils are so bad every time you sharpen it the lead would break they are not useable we had to put them in the bin. Totally a waste of money. They charge you so much but giving the most rubbish quality back. The pencils I bought from the pound shop were better than the ones I got here. So disappointed with them. Won’t be going back now.
Shocking service from smiggle
Shocking service from smiggle. Cancelled two items but didn’t inform me. Set one by Evri and the packaging from smiggle and the delivery by Evri, were a disgrace.
So disappointed
So disappointed, I paid via Apple Pay and unfortunately my apple pay is still set up to my old address (homeless unit) I noticed this right away and contacted you for address to be changed, unfortunately I was told theres nothing smiggle can do, I contacted yous within minutes of placing my order and there’s nothing that can be done ? How ridiculous ! So now my order is getting sent to strangers and I need to trust them to return my order… not great especially as £172 was spent on my children’s Christmas… please fix this error for you don’t leave other people’s orders in the hands of strangers due to an human error .. thank you
took my money no product despatched…
took my money no product despatched online chat fobbed me off twice blaming delivery company could not re order as now out of stock refund awaiting as the only option offered.If I hadnt contacted them when would I have found out.this company have the worse reviews I have seen on here and to be honest for good reason.Don't be daft like me read all these reviews and take note or you too will be wasting your time ranting on here
Maybe I was lucky but I seemed to do ok…
Maybe I was lucky but I seemed to do ok shopping online. I took a hope in that they would be delivered and luckily they were in a few days. One item was out of stock which they refunded. I wanted something specifically that they only did, a fidget toy and being Autistic I find these helpful. I'd buy again and hopefully all would be ok again!
Poor products and packaging
Previous bought a bag from them which broke within 2 weeks.
Recently brought a order that was delivered in such bad packaging that item was broken have sent proof of damage and how bad packaging is and will still have to send item back for issued refund or replacement
School backpack started to fall apart…
School backpack started to fall apart within 6 weeks. Contacted them to refund or replace. Sent bag back with their couriers. Heard nothing from them despite chasing. So now no refund and no bag for a disappointed 7 year old. Quality and service poor.
Avoid at all costs terrible service
Pleased with my items
I placed quite a big order for some presents for my daughters and one of them was for walkie talkies so I was looking for reviews to find a particular piece of information about these and saw all the terrible reviews. To be honest, most of them are actually complaining about their Evri drivers which isn’t really to do with smiggle, but others said half their items hadn’t arrived and then I was worried. Anyway, everything arrived today and I’m really happy with it all! Thought I would put my experience on here as so often people don’t bother to mention if nothing has gone wrong and only review when they have a complaint. My Evri driver is great so that wasn’t a problem - at my old house it might have been a different story!
Happy to take your money but don't expect after sales service
Bought two bottles online and they were delivered by Evri. I wasn't in at the time but they forcefully pushed the box through an open window which then dropped about 6 foot to the floor. The box was in bits by being pushed through a small window. Complained to wiggle but didn't even get a response. I sent two photos out to show the state of the box as well. Their happy to take your money but if you get a problem after don't expect any after sales support. You will be ignored. Why companies still use Evri I don't know.
Worse than EVRi
Scrolling through the reviews I wish I’d seen before ordering! Mine will echo the rest.
EVRi delivered to an unsafe location outside my door in the torrential rain and accepted liability of the sodden delivery (which ended up binned), Smiggle refused to refund / replace unless I provided photographic evidence even though I’d provided them with EVRi’s confirmation email.
Their customer service quote ‘sorry for the inconvenience caused’!
When a company has been worse customer service than EVRi you know it’s bad!
One star is too generous
One star is too generous. I usually avoid the store but noticed the online sale and decided to order cheap stocking fillers for my young daughters.
A Smiggle parcel arrived several days later but contained NONE of the items I had ordered. I spent 30 minutes on the phone to customer services, to be told that they would not send me the items unless I provided photographic evidence of the incorrect items AND they received the returned items - leaving me £70 out of pocket and with nothing to show for it! Though they received the photographic evidence, they declined my offer to donate the incorrect items to a local Christmas gifting charity and instead demanded I return the parcel. The box was large and cumbersome - there is no way I could carry it up the High Street with small children in tow (how would I also hold their hands up the busy road?!) and the nearest Smiggle store is miles away; they suggested I arrange my for my workplace to collect the parcel (public sector - no one I work with has the time to act as my PA). They led me to believe arranging a courier collection might be easier - I went through the entire rigmarole of arranging this but they had failed to tell me that I'd need a printer for a returns label. Was awaiting an ink delivery so had to ask a neighbour if I could borrow theirs (we're new to the neighbourhood so this was less than ideal). Waited in almost ALL day the following day (had to cancel plans). Courier arrived and took the parcel. Now I have no goods and am still over £70 down. I have zero faith that they will actually send me the items they have charged me for. Shoddy service. I have no intention of shopping with Smiggle again.
First and LAST time
Wow, wish I’d come to see these ratings before I gave smiggle my custom. Waste of time start to finish. Ordered online, cancelled massive part of my order due to ‘incorrect factory inventory’ then sent me 7 of the wrong items. Chat agent confirmed ‘don’t worry, correct ones coming’ wrong ones were sent 🙄 then the next agent tells me I have to again waste my time going to shop or post office to return instead of just refunding £7 for the trouble. Pathetic. First and last time being a customer!

I went to smiggle in Manchester arandle she was so rude wasn’t helpful at all but was asking her some questions but she didn’t help at all
I was asking her sombtint she said if you keep looking that side I can’t hear you in such a rude way
Later on I asked her what advert calendar has in it she just took it out again not professional at all
I don’t know her name but she was the one with glasses
Rude never going there now
The small and large snake puzzle looks…
The small and large snake puzzle looks fun, but the lids fall off too easily, which then makes it look out of place. Very badly put together... the manufacturer can't be very good.

Don't bother ordering from smiggle my parcel didn't arrive and customer service diabolical
If I could give a minus review i would
If I could give a minus review i would. Thought the expensive price tag on these items was because they were quality. The steel water bottles are an extremely poor design. I have had to buy 2 of these bottles and each time, the lids just fell apart. They should be sturdy as they are aimed at children. The second time the bottle just started to leak with no idea why. Took it to the local store and was told there is a small silicone piece inside the top of the lid that you need to make sure stays in when washing the bottles. If it falls out, the bottle will leak. Surely when you buy this, you should be told to keep an eye on this? Utterly worthless and worst 33.98 I have spent. I have now replaced it with a standard supermarket bottle which is actually fit for purpose. Sorry smiggle but as a first time buyer of your products, I am very disappointed.
First time ordering with smiggle…
First time ordering with smiggle online, Evri left parcel in unsafe location and confirmed was unacceptable as item was missing when I arrived home. Smiggle won’t do anything about the items whether it be an exchange or refund unless I file an actual police report and waste their time. When has any company for a small value item done this? Evri have already confirmed they have failed to deliver correctly but even with this written proof from Evri, smiggle will not act on the fact I haven’t received my goods. Disgraceful company and customer service. Will never order again or set foot in a store again!
