Products I love customer service not so much
I love the products on here, however, delivery hasn’t been what they have said and I get it isn’t guaranteed but they didn’t offer a refund on my delivery when they lost my order in their system and delivery isn’t cheap. I have done another order giving it another go and we are now nearly a week later with no delivery which is estimated 3-5 days and I doubt I will get a refund on this delivery either. I will seriously consider using them anymore which is a shame.

Hi, we’re very sorry to hear about your recent experience with delivery delays. Unfortunately, we experienced delays during this period due to a high volume of orders being received, which impacted our usual dispatch and delivery timeframes. We completely understand how frustrating this must have been, particularly when you were expecting delivery within the estimated timeframe provided.
We truly appreciate your continued support and the fact that you chose to place another order with us despite the previous issues. Your feedback regarding the delivery experience and communication is extremely important to us, and we will ensure your comments are passed on internally for review. We’re very sorry again for the disappointment caused.

Ewelina was a brilliant help!
Ewelina was a brilliant help correcting a mistake that was on an original order that a friend had bought us. She very kindly corrected the mistake and sent us the order via first class, all of which was free of charge. This was very kind and unexpected! The customer service was fantastic and the fact my order was going to be delivered either the next day or the day after that was exceptional! Would thoroughly recommend Ewelina and my 1st years for their service!

Please dont deal with this company if you value your own time
The item I received had an incorrect personalisation. I had to email and call persistently to get any resolution. Their responses were either non existent or slow except when they were denying it was their fault. They accused me of not responding to some of their emails which was utterly untrue. The whole experience left me frustrated, upset and ultimately embarassed as the present was for my godchild.

Hi, we are very sorry to hear about your experience and sincerely apologise for the frustration and disappointment caused. Receiving an item with incorrect personalisation, especially when it was intended as a gift for your godchild, is understandably upsetting and we completely appreciate how this situation left you feeling embarrassed and let down.
We are also sorry to hear that you felt communication was slow and difficult throughout the resolution process. This is certainly not the level of service we aim to provide, and we apologise for any confusion regarding the correspondence.
We can confirm that we have now contacted you directly by email to assist further and work towards resolving this matter for you as quickly as possible.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us.

Ordered two separate ‘baby box’ gifts for 2 separate friends babies (different names). I received both in one gift box and had to take half out of the gift box to give to one friend and am now left without a box for the other. I assumed this would be dealt with easily but after complaining , they have sent me a link to buy another box and will not send one out after spending £150 already. Fantastic service !! Not!!!

We do understand your frustration regarding the gift boxes. However, we can confirm that at checkout, we advise that one complimentary gift box is included per order. If additional gift boxes are required, these do need to be purchased separately during the checkout process.
We appreciate your comments and are sorry for any misunderstanding caused. Thank you again for your order and feedback.

SCAMMED
SCAMMED.
I purchased a hamper for next day delivery (for an extra £11.99) and they didnt try to deliver it until almost 10 days later. I made several attempts to request a refund and cancellation and was ignored.
They randomly tried to deliver the parcel somewhere and uploaded a photo which isn’t proof of purchase and are now ignoring all requests to resolve.
Having used them for all occasions before, spending hundreds if not thousands, I will not be using first years ever again
The staff were rude, unhelpful and unresponsive. DO NOT RECOMMEND

Really let down by this company and costumer service just keep messaging back and forwards. Order not delivered after 8 days and missed my daughter birthday, all I been provided are promises and lies. Would not order again, really BAD costumer service from KRISHA, offered my £5.00 to compensate order which is not delivered and absolutely missed the purpose, Told me also to place another other and pay for next day delivery. How you can place another another if company is not delivering what they promise? Please review your policy and costumer service. Those are gifts for little ones, which are important more than anything !!! Awaiting a refund and apology for this horrible experience !!!!

Hi, thank you for your feedback, and I’m truly sorry to hear about your experience.
I completely understand how upsetting this must have been, especially as the order was intended for your daughter’s birthday. We recognise how important these moments are, and we sincerely apologise that we let you down on this occasion.
Due to the Easter period, the recent Bank Holiday, and an unexpectedly high volume of orders, our processing and delivery times were unfortunately impacted. However, we fully appreciate that this does not make up for the missed occasion or the frustration caused by the delays and communication.
I’m also very sorry to hear about your experience with our customer service. This is not the standard we aim to provide, and your comments will be taken seriously and reviewed internally.
Unfortunately, I’m unable to locate your order details or email address from this review, so I can’t contact you directly. If you’re happy to discuss this further, please get in touch with us at support@my1styears.com using the subject line 'Review - Aleksandra'.
Again, I’m very sorry for the disappointment and inconvenience caused.

Hi, thank you for your feedback, and I’m very sorry to hear about your experience.
I completely understand how frustrating and disappointing this must be, especially as the order was placed well in advance for a birthday and still hasn’t arrived. This is certainly not the level of service we aim to provide.
Due to the Easter period and the recent Bank Holiday, along with an unexpectedly high volume of orders, our processing times were unfortunately impacted. However, in reviewing your order, I can see that it was lost in transit, which we sincerely apologise for.
I can also confirm that our customer service team has arranged a replacement for you on an express delivery service to ensure it reaches you as quickly as possible.
We truly regret both the delay and the communication you received, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We are actively working to improve our processes to prevent situations like this from happening again.
Thank you for your patience, and again, we’re very sorry for the inconvenience caused.

Really disappointed with this company I placed an order on sunday 12th April with the 3-5 day standard delivery and now 7 days later still no updates and no communication from the company I had to chase up using the web chat to be told they are behind on orders which respectful is not my fault but why let people order when you know you cannot get the deliveries out on time?

Hi, thank you for your feedback, and I’m really sorry to hear about your experience.
We completely understand your frustration, especially given that you selected a 3–5 day delivery and have had to chase for updates. You’re absolutely right to expect clear communication and timely service, and we regret that we didn’t meet those expectations in this instance.
Due to the Easter period and the recent Bank Holiday, our company was closed, which unfortunately extended our usual processing times. In addition, we experienced an unexpectedly high volume of orders, which caused further delays. That said, we fully acknowledge that this does not change the inconvenience caused to you, and we sincerely apologise for the lack of proactive communication.
We are currently working hard to clear the backlog and improve both our dispatch times and communication so that situations like this are avoided in the future.
Thank you for your patience, and again, we’re very sorry for the inconvenience caused.
