No communication, wrong item delivered, no answers.

Ordered an online only item, received a text from courier a few days later that it’ll be delivered…didn’t arrive. It finally arrived the following day only for it to be the wrong item..phoned up customer services who requested I send a photo and they’ll get back to me with a response from the supplier - no response for several days. Phoned again and asked what’s going on, was told I’d get an email of when they’ll pick up the wrong item so my correct item can be ordered- no email. Phoned yet again and was told the supplier will pick it up same day- no courier.
They are yet to deliver my correct item and pick up the wrong one.
Absolute shambles of a company and their suppliers/couriers. This isn’t the first time I’ve had a problem with ordering through them.
At this point, I might just ask for a refund, unfortunately my item is now out of stock! Awful experience, never ordering through them again.
UPDATE- Phoned yet again after writing this review and got told the exact same thing “courier will come and collect today or tomorrow and once they have it, your item will be replaced straight away” …still no courier. Phoned again and just asked for a refund in the end as it was becoming a joke - Hopefully I get my money back as quick as they took it for an item I never received!
Finally did get a text from the supplier and arranged a pick up for the wrong item.

Ordered some toys a few weeks ago for my daughter’s birthday. Wrapped them and opened them a few weeks later and realised one of the toys had snapped so was unusable. Contacted Customer Services and they have arranged a replacement to be delivered the next day.

All other toys arrived quickly when first ordered and are in great condition.

Great service!

I placed an order and realised I had made a mistake with the delivery address. I tried to reach customer service via the chat bot and WhatsApp but didn't hear back very quickly so I decided to pick up the phone. The service I received from Sharnee was excellent. She sorted out the issues I had and had a lovely manner on the phone. She also replied to my WhatsApp chat after I had spoken to her to confirm it was all sorted. I look forward to receiving my delivery.

Wonderful customer care employee Jamie-Lee

After buying a faulty product in store, I had a few issues with communicating with customer care over a number of days. However, I’m giving 5 stars to a wonderful employee called Jamie-Lee who quickly helped me and issued the gift card refund immediately. Their service was very much appreciated and they really helped me. Thank you Jamie-Lee😊
