Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 931 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many people were dissatisfied with their orders, reporting that items never arrived or were incorrect. Consumers also had significant issues with products, noting that they were not as described or of poor quality. Furthermore, many struggled to receive refunds, with promises often unfulfilled. Reviewers frequently experienced problems with delivery services, citing delays and lost packages. Communication was also a major concern, as many found response times to be slow or non-existent, especially when trying to resolve issues or request refunds. Conversely, a small portion of people felt satisfied with their purchases, noting that products arrived as described, were well-packaged, and that the delivery process was smooth and timely.

Scam. Ordered in July and items were never received despite numerous emails. I've learned my lesson to always check Trustpilot BEFORE placing an order, even if the website looks legit and has good SEO... See more

ITS A SCAM…

I had placed an order around 9th June and still haven’t received it. As other users have mentioned someone from the Customer Care named ‘Mary’ replies to the emails every now and then and says the order is in transit! BIG SCAM!! Please please please DO NOT ORDER from this site.

Ordered 2nd July

Ordered 2nd July, haven’t had my order. I was on maternity leave and spent my last £30 with them on things for my daughter. Tried to cancel my order they said I couldn’t it had already been shipped. It was originally showing as delivery expected this week, trackings fake, orders fake, websites closed. Nothings working, no ones replying that’s money I didn’t have down the drain! Absolutely waste of time. Even connected to the shop app which I thought was all legit, clearly not.

I’m also having the same issues

I’m also having the same issues. I’ve paid out over £300 back in march and I’ve still not received my order or refund. I’ve been chasing regularly since June and I keep getting emails back from ‘Mary’ saying I will get my money back and thanking me for my ‘patience’ . I believe this company is a scam - does anyone get their orders? I didn’t realise it was a Chinese company when I originally ordered.

If I could give no stars I would

If I could give no stars I would. Absolutely appalling website/ service. Reading other reviews this company are scammers who rob people’s money. A few replies from useless Mary, no item delivered and no refund issued. Absolutely disgusting.

This company needs to be investigated!

I’m currently experiencing the same issue as most other customers.
I placed an order over a month ago and apparently it was delivered on 12th August by Royal Mail. I never received a parcel nor a missed delivery slip!
I’ve emailed the company twice and haven’t received a response. Please tell me how companies like this can get away with this! This company must be run by a scam artist.

Shocking! Will never use again!

Order placed back in June 25 - Child”s sensory toy still not arrived 2 months later!! I have contacted Mary (whoever Mary is) to find out where this is and to arrange a refund - had numerous messages/excuses but still no satisfactory outcome! DO NOT USE THIS SITE - an absolute disappointment on every level!

TOTAL SCAM!!!

TOTAL SCAM!!!! Doesn’t even deserve a single star. It has been over 2 months since I placed my order. Have a Yodel tracking number which isn’t valid. There is no way to contact them. I emailed but got no response. Now the store doesn’t even exist!

Shocking company if it is actually one. Don't order from them

Ordered item in 11th July for my grandsons 1st birthday on 3rd August still no goods. Contacted them countless times, Mary sometimes replies but its just nonsense information. Tracking is information is fake. Contacted my CC company who refunded me and are investigating. Don't touch this company with a barge pole!!!!

Scam, Scam, Scam

Scam, scam
This company has demonstrated questionable business practices. I placed an order for a 4 in 1 Gym on July 15, 2025; however, the order has yet to arrive. I have sent multiple emails regarding this matter and received a response from an individual named Mary, who informed me that my order is still in the processing stage and will arrive soon. It is now August 27 and still no delivery. You are wicked to do these things to a pregnant lady and also mothers.

AVOID!!🚩⚠️‼️‼️‼️

They think im going to leave it and let them keep my money. NOT Happening.
Honestly fake website, fake people, fake trading.
AVOID at all costs. Actually minus 10 stars.
