Poor product quality and customer services
I bought a spritz water bottle for my daughter in store for a costly £17. The drinking component stopped working within a couple of days despite cleaning/soaking to ensure no blockages.
I contacted customer services and I’ve been advised to take it back to store as they cannot help, not even a voucher for replacement.
A friend of my daughters had exactly the same problem with the spritz bottles so I suspect it has a poor design or fault.
Overall, poor quality of product, costly and poor customer services.
Poor quality products - avoid
Bought a pencil case from Smiggle - really appealing kids designs but the quality is so bad. Looks like it cost about 50p to make. They also use toxic pvc in their products which isn’t great for kids.
Great design but not built to last
Great design but not built to last. When you spend over £40 on a school bag, you expect it to last the school year. There’s nothing the customer service team will do about it, so will not be purchasing again.
10 year olds not welcome
My 10 year old wanted to make a purchase using his pocket money. Lady in branch said he could not be in the store without a parent!!! ( he is old enough to walk home by himself). He can certainly decide how to make a £5 purchase. AVOID this company their main customers 10 year olds are not welcome.

At silverburn Glasgow i was served by Natalia. She is a star for this company. I do shopping very often but nobody told me anything that you guys do and serve like how she did today. Thank you Natalia
To the lovely lady at Cribbs Causeway…
To the lovely lady at Cribbs Causeway Mall in Bristol, who helped me with my enquiries this morning. I got something at present in a Smiggle bag and went to change it, but I was told that wasn’t theirs. She managed to find out where they were selling it and I went to the right store. Also, I wanted to change a lunchbox but she kindly told me that they were sold out as they were popular. She was so helpful and sweet and polite. Actually all the people at that mall are. I love their products and the prices.
The clock is absolute rubbish
The clock is absolute rubbish. Trying to set the time is impossible. Don't waste your money
SCAMMERS
Avoid this company like the plague. My order got stolen from the doorstep Evri have confined this & they still won’t refund me!!! Last 3 emails have been ignored. Reporting this company in every way possible.
Excellent service from the team at…
Excellent service from the team at Smiggle Livingston and special shout out to Gale in assisting with a replacement lid after my daughter broke hers (twice!).
Definitely be returning to Smiggle for future bottle requirements!
Smiggle walkie-talkies very poor
Smiggle walkie-talkies lasted barely two weeks. Changed batteries twice, then one simply stopped turning on, the other made a screeching sound when it was turned on.
Do NOT buy their stupid spritz water…
Do NOT buy their stupid spritz water bottles, no matter how much your kid bugs you for one! I gave in to the pleas of my daughter and bought her one for Christmas. The plastic lid split after one drop and broke altogether after a second (so by the end of February it was useless). Now you might think “well, that’s what happens to kids water bottles. Just replace the lid 🤷🏻♀️”) but of course Smiggle don’t sell replacement lids, presumably because they know they’re rubbish and just want you to fork out another £20 for the whole bottle instead. Well NO, Smiggle, I will NOT. In fact I shan’t be purchasing anymore of your overpriced, poor quality products 😡
Ordered two items smiggles avoid
Ordered two items , lost by Evri delivery , declined to send sgain as express delivery so missed the birthday . Terrible customer service . Never use evri as a delivery company.
Excellent customer service recieved
Ordered 2 stainless steel bottles of line for my children. Both came, no problems at all. My sons bottle however has had several issues (kept losing the little seal, lost straw, bottle top split open)
Communication with Smiggle has been clear and friendly, offering solutions instantly for each occasion I made contact and offering to send replacement parts quickly to resolve the issues I had. They have now sent a full replacement of the product due to the lid coming apart.
Laura and Lauren have both dealt with my contact professionally, with absolute kindness and support for each issue faced.
Excellent customer service from these 2 and a fantastic quick resolution.
Poor quality and customer service
I ordered a drinks bottle and a food flask for my daughters birthday. Whilst the bottle is lovely, the flask is leaking. To our great disappointment, I had to pay to return faulty goods! That's absolutely appalling if I am honest and I would never order from this company again for this reason!
Items break very easily!!
Purchased a school bag in July. My child started using it in September. It has now started to come apart after the seems and Smiggle refuse to do anything as its over 6 months old. This bag is only used for a lunch box and drinks bottle so shouldn't have broken! Keep your money and go elsewhere. Their items are not fit for purpose and their customer service is shockingly poor.
Order well recieved .
Was worried about the delivery but I still went ahead and ordered and my school bags were delivered to the detail . Thanks so much.
Be wary about ordering from them online
I ordered a backpack and keyring for my daughter. I was emailed the following day saying the backpack had gone out of stock and they refunded me the cost of this but proceeded to send me just the keyring which cost £3 and charged me £5 delivery for this. I asked to cancel the order or to have a refund for the postage which was refused. I was told it wasn’t their fault the item went out of stock after I had ordered it and I will still have to pay the original postage, even though it cost more than the item being delivered. The woman I spoke to online about this was really rude and unprofessional. I felt she was purposely being as unhelpful as possible. It’s a shame because my daughter loves that shop but I won’t be buying from them again out of principle.

Lynne at the Glasgow Store is an absolute credit to the company. Customer service from both girls in the glasgow store was utterly amazing and i couldn’t thank them enough. Went completely above and beyond today and i just wanted to give special thanks ☺️🥰
After expecting a bad experience, I was happily surprised
I made an online purchase on a Monday, had an email saying it was despatched on the Tuesday. 4 days later it was still waiting to be given to evri. I got in contact on the Saturday and after seeing reviews on trust pilot I began to doubt I'd see my package but low and behold I had an email back on the Monday morning and my parcel was delivered on the Monday also. Just in time for Christmas so my son will be thrilled. Thank you so much

Had an issue with a Christmas delivery that was lost, I emailed and Conor Graham got in touch with me and got my nieces Christmas presents delivered to her in time. He is our Christmas angel! Thank you so much Conor!
