Bought 3 pack of spinning toys for grandson, nearly 12 months old, toys feel and look cheap and could well be dangerous as swallowing hazard, would rather have donated $25 to charity as I am going to put them in the bin. Would like a refund but I wouldn’t hold my breath

Hello John,
Thank you for letting us know about your experience, and I’m genuinely sorry to hear about your concerns with the toys you received.
Safety is extremely important to us, and we take any report of a potential hazard very seriously. We never want a customer to feel uncomfortable using a product, especially one intended for a child. We’d like to look into this immediately and ensure the issue is properly addressed.
Please contact us with your order details so we can arrange a refund and review the product with our team. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and giving us the opportunity to make things right.
Kind regards
Not quite a scam, but seriously dodgy.
This site tries to pass off inferior products by using misleading advertising. Furthermore, it is not an Australian site but is based in Hong Kong, it sources its products in China (probably via Temu) and then ship them to you in Australia using 'micro express', a courier with a Trustpilot review rating even lower than this company.
My specific experience was that I ordered a children's book the advertising for which showed a child next to a hardcover book with the same title that I ordered playing with cardboard shapes which would have also been part of the purchase. What I got was a set off loose-leaf pages and some pieces of string.
When queried, the response was that there was no issues and that this is a "new cross-border product" that presumably replaced the old. The old product is still being advertised. Further investigation showed that the "new cross-border product" was actually available on Temu for $4.39 while I paid $29.99 for the package I ordered the advertising for which implied I was getting a hardcover book as well.
Oh, and if you bother to read through the glowing reviews on their website you will probably conclude, as I did, that they are all fake. They are all 1-2 sentences long and repeat the same things using slightly different phrases.

Hello Peter,
Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed account of your experience. I’m very sorry to hear that the product you received did not match what you believed you were purchasing, and that our response to your initial query left you feeling dismissed. That is not the experience we want for any customer.
We understand how frustrating it is when advertising appears inconsistent with what arrives, and we take concerns about product accuracy and presentation extremely seriously. We will review the listing you referenced to ensure that the description and imagery accurately reflect the product being sent.
We would genuinely like the chance to investigate your order properly and work toward a resolution, whether that involves a refund or another suitable outcome. If you are willing, please contact us at [your support email] with your order details so we can address this directly.
Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. Your feedback helps us identify where our processes need to be better.

Complete rubbish!
Complete rubbish!! Ordered the balance game, took weeks to come & then found it was coming from China. It turned up today & is now in the bin as wouldn’t fit together properly. I’ve learned a lesson, really need to do more research.

Hello Nancy,
Thank you for sharing your experience, and I’m really sorry to hear how disappointed you were with your order.
Waiting weeks for a product only to find it doesn’t assemble properly is incredibly frustrating, and it’s certainly not the standard we want to deliver. We also understand how important it is for customers to know where their items are coming from, and we regret if this wasn’t made clear at the time of purchase.
We’d like the opportunity to make this right. If you’re open to it, please reach out to us with your order details so we can investigate and arrange an appropriate resolution.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

This company should be banned
This company should be banned. Cheap Chinese made toys at over priced prices and all instructions are in Chinese. Do not support the shonky company, posing as an Australian company. Total crap!!!!!

DON'T BE FOOLED
DON'T BE FOOLED - THIS COMPANY IS NOT AUSTRALIAN - IT IS BASED IN CHINA AND SUPPLIES FROM CHINA.
Even though I was disappointed in the product I purchased, as I found the puzzles to be much smaller than they look in the photo and each puzzle was similar and too easy to solve, I was more disappointed in the way they market themselves as an Australian Company.
Their website gave the impression they are a Melbourne based company, which encouraged me to purchase from them. However, despite the way they market themselves, I did not necessarily think the products were made here. It wasn’t till after I had placed the order and received notification on the very long lead time on delivery that I did research and found their office address is in Hong Kong. On top of that PayPal charged me an additional foreign exchange fee..
As a company owner who keeps all the stock of their locally designed Chinese made products in Australia and is upfront with that information, I find what they are doing is abhorrent.

I was sent the wrong order
After contacting Australian kids many times about receiving the wrong order with no response.
I put a negative review on Trustpilot.
Straight away they got back saying how sorry they were and would sort it out.
What a lot of lies. They only said that to make themselves look good on Trustpilot.
They have not contacted me or sent me the right order.
Do not buy from them. They are not trustworthy.
They are not an Australian Company. They are based in China.
Please read reviews on this company before buying from them

DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY THEY ARE NOT AUSTRALIAN
I placed an order and received a confirmation email. Then two weeks after placing an order I received an email asking for a review of the product I'd ordered but had not received. I emailed the company to be told they would contact the logistics team and get back to me immediately. Yep nothing was heard. Sent another email today cancelling my order only too be told it had been shipped!!! I told them again I had cancelled my order only to be informed an order can't be cancelled during shipping but I can return it for a refund!!!! Don't buy anything from them. I was sucked in thinking it was an Australian company but I should have done my research properly. Lesson learned but be warned DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY THEY ARE A RIPOFF and tell everyone you can DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY !!!!!

Just don't
I wish had looked deeper into reviews for the company before purchasing the baby lounger because it just wasn't worth it.
The company is based in Hong Kong and products ship from China which is why the postage takes so long.
The sales are fake and the lounger I received was not to the quality of the review pictures on the product page which I expect are taken from another company or also just fake. They also claim it will help with reflux but there is nothing about this specific product that will help because it is so flat and lacks any real cushioning that it doesn't do anything. The puffiness of only the foot part is likely to make it worse.
I've now wasted $30 and have to find a new product any way. 0 Stars, down right dodgy.

SCAM COMPANY DONT BUY FROM THEM - product comes from china not Australia. Fake company based in Hong Kong. Nothing to do with Aussie Kids
SCAM SCAM SCAM! Don’t buy from them!!!
I bought a baby lounger for my granddaughter. The pics on their website are Ai generated. The product I received is a cheap Chinese imitation. It’s absolute rubbish and not supportive at all! They pretend to be Australian, but office is based in Hong Kong and cheap crap is dropshipped from china.
To get a refund you have to return to china which will cost more than I paid. They offered 30% refund without return - which will probably be a credit for their crap store. Never again. I’m going to post this all over Facebook to warn others. Should be illegal! Don’t waste your time or money.
I’m so upset I’ve got a flimsy piece of rubbish I wouldn’t even give to my cat to use and wasted my money

Cheap in quality and presentation
Was definitely not what I expected. Terrible quality, terrible packaging, very cheap looking in every way.
I also thought it was an Australian Co. I should have looked more closely. Spent $70 on what I could have spent much less

Beware - not an Australian company!
Don't be fooled (as I was). This is not an Australian company, despite their name. My order, which took over three weeks to arrive, was shipped from China.
The product itself is of so-so quality, and not a matching set as shown in the advertising pic.
Definitely not recommended - it's what I'd expect to buy at a $2 shop.

Rubbish Product- buyer BEWARE !!
Ordered a month ago and received today. Not an Australian product as it infers. Shipped from China- packaging flimsy and the baby toy came in bits and pieces with no instructions. I would be really surprised if this toy met Australian standards regarding safety. It is aimed at a baby- no way would I give it to a baby, with the small components that would definitely be a choking risk.
I will be reporting this company to consumer affairs.
Amazing that the reviews on the original page are all 5 star ( hundreds of them !)

They are scammers!
Goods never arrived after 8 weeks I followed up. Apparently lost in transit!
I've never had this issue with other online suppliers.
I made contact & they offered to send the goods again or offered a refund.
I selected the refund and never received the funds returned to my account.
I have followed up again, I think they want me to forget about it.
If I don't have refund in 7 days I will be reporting g them to ACCC
