    HIGHLY RECOMMEND

    I couldn’t recommend outdoor toys enough. Yes their delivery times are slower than usual but you receive an email straight after your ordering explaining that due to unforeseen circumstances they are behind deliveries at the minute. I kindly asked them on messenger (Facebook) how far behind they would be for deliveries and they explained that it was around 2 weeks & you know what, that’s absolutely ok. If you don’t want to order one of there items for a certain date, just plan ahead and try and order it well before so you don’t have to worry that the item might not come until after x date.

    We ordered a swing set with a slide and monkey bars, all 3 of my kids absolutely love it!!! Totally worth the money

    Terrible. I find this company incredibly…

    I find this company incredibly frustrating to deal with. I ordered a play frame, which should been delivered in 2-4 weeks, after 6 weeks of waiting I cancelled the order. They advised me they would offer a refund, then left the delivery on my step the following day.
    I arranged collection, they said they could not refund me until they had received it back.
    After another week they confirmed receipt and said would issue a refund in 2-5 working days, we are now 12 working days later with no refund, no response to emails or update.
    I would not recommend this company at all.

    DONT REPLY TO EMAILS... STILL WAITING FOR ORDER

    Wish I saw these reviews before ordering. Ordered 3 weeks ago and apart from the initial order confirmation email I haven't heard a thing from them! They don't respond to emails and don't give updates and just leave you hanging on waiting. No idea when my order is arriving, dispatching, nothing!

    Very poor customer service

    Very poor customer service. They don’t answer the phone for an hour or answer emails. Then hang up on you. Sent out with parts missing. Can’t order missing parts over the phone.
    Avoid this company!

    Doesn’t even deserve one star but had to put one star to write anything!!! AVOID AVOID AVOID!!!! Do not buy from them!!! Ordered 5.5 weeks ago, only way I found out they have a 6 week delayed delivery thing going on was to email and ask where it was- zero communication! Zero responsibility for false advertisement in their website!! ‘We pride ourselves in our fast delivery service’ load of nonsense!!!!!!! Got told it was arriving Wednesday 3pm to 5pm and guess what didn’t come! Got told would arrive Saturday! Tracking didn’t even work said due to arrive 8.47am and text me to say it’s arriving 7.47-9.47am at 9.48am- still had not come! Best laugh is after nearly 6 weeks waiting on something that was for my sons birthday they’ve not even sent the right pieces and I have random instructions and spare wood for a climbing frame I didn’t even order and the one I did order was missing the sides and the roof. Customer service just don’t care about anything and are a joke. The company is a joke! I’m going to get in touch with every possible place I can about the crooks and sneaks that this company are!!!!

    Deceptive delivery date

    Advertised a 7 to 14 day delivery and then once you inquire about the status they say actually it's 4-5 weeks due to unprecedented demand. But if you look at the comments this is obviously a pattern. They should be honest up front so people can make an informed decision. This is just deceptive.

    DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY

    DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. AWFUL, AWFUL EXPERIENCE!!!!!

    Website states delivery is 7-14 days. 3 weeks later I’m still waiting!!!!! Emails go unanswered and phone lines are always jammed - presumably with people complaining all the time!

    AVOID AVOID AVOID!

    Please Don't buy anything from this so…

    Please Don't buy anything from this so called company, My daughter brought a electric car Jeep-Red £182.94. It doesn't work never has done. We have sent photos and over 20 emails. And they just keep wanting more photos of the battery. It doesn't work. you've sent her a faulty car. Now you need to give her money back and come and collect it. This was meant to be a birthday present for my Grandson... so thank you for nothing. We have a very upset little boy.

    Ordered a double round pole swing set

    Ordered a double swing set. I was putting this up for my 8 yr old sons birthday. I had to go out and buy some washers that were missing, that I can deal with, although annoying.
    Then when fully assembled, it started to tip in use.
    That was when I got annoyed. This was for my sons birthday and now I could not let him use it. There is no mention in their listing that it needs any sort of anchoring. I emailed them, they told me it doesn't need anchoring but they sell anchors if needed, rubbish, they definitely need anchoring or cementing. I wouldn't have minded if they told me before the purchase.
    This is a health and safety issue involving children's safety, they need to be fined for incorrect misleading information.
    I asked if they could make amends and send me the anchors free of charge for my troubles, they declined, hence this review.
    Do not use this company!!

    DO NOT BUY!!

    Sold me a broken quad for my daughters Christmas present.
    Have taken zero accountability and have says its only a few weeks warranty when I purchased it October for Christmas present

    Also have a large following on social media so will be outting them there. They are all scammers

    DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY

    Ordered an electric scooter for our son for Christmas. Obviously hid it away and the day before Christmas Eve we went to take it out of the box to charge it. Only to find it was a used scooter full of mud scratches and a light was on. My sons Christmas was ruined as this was the main present what he asked santa for. It gets worse … upon emailing and ringing the company 8 times I’m getting the same email asking me is the item still in its original packaging when Ive confirmed numerous times it is. They are delaying collecting the item and won’t refund me until they have collected it absolute scam and again as previous reviews am unable to purchase another one until I have a refund absolute disgrace of a company I will be making this public to warn people of this company DO NOT TRUST THEM !

    Won't arrive for Christmas!

    I placed an order on the 8th December, but still haven't received any information about when it will arrive (apart from the fact that on the 15th December it still hadn't left their warehouse!). No response from emails, so I really wouldn't trust them if they say it will arrive before Christmas!!

    Rebo Orchard playhouse

    We order Rebo Orchard playhouse with slide and we couldn’t be happier.

    The product is fantastic, it was provided swiftly with great help from Dan M who was really accommodating helping get all the pieces to the right area (with some useful tips on assembly), the instructions were super easy to follow and - most importantly of all - our son absolutely loves it.

    Have been impressed throughout - would definitely use again.

    I would not even give these guys a one…

    I would not even give these guys a one star ⭐️ !

    I ordered a trampoline 12 foot Rebus trampoline in advance of moving to a new house , I called them and was told over the phone that it was okay to order and they would not deliver until I moved in.

    however no notes were made and subsequently the trampoline was delivered the day before I moved in and it was rejected !

    I called and said this was not what was agreed and could you please deliver as it was for a birthday party for my child however they did not deliver and told me it will be another two weeks and could not guarantee anything and could not help any further !

    I was particularly spoken to badly by a girl called Anastasia who told me She could do nothing in matter of fact tone .

    I therefore called daily chasing my trampoline but to no avail .

    I ultimately decided to ask for a refund and re-ordered again with a 48 hour delivery window as I though mr this would be quicker ! however after 48 hours the trampoline did not arrive I waited in all day with my children and it never turned up !

    I then called and Was on hold for one 1hr hour and 32 minutes this is not to mention the previous days That I had also been on hold for up to an hour but today was the longest. !

    Anastasia answered the phone and again could not be more ruder she should absolutely no sympathy or empathy for the time that I spent on hold and told me that the trampoline will be delivered tomorrow ( which was three days outside of the time agreed) she said she could not help me any further . When I asked her to give me a dedicated time she told me it was 9 am until 5 pm .

    Therefore if you are ordering a 48 hour window with this company they do not provide you with a time and insist you must wait inside all day ( this is of course is if you are using their third-party carrier)

    As I am in logistics myself , this is a terrible service as we also use services like this and we provide 1hr window slots Outdoors toys are choosing a cheap logistics route, trying to avoid paying additional costs.

    She told me there was nothing she could do for me any further insisted that I was being rude ( because I was frustrated that I had to wait in again all day with two small children and she then slammed the phone down on me !!

    I can honestly say I’ve never dealt with such an unprofessional company

    Please do not buy from them they are totally useless and the buying process is painful with little or no Customer Service on offer .

    Not even worth the one star

    Not even worth the one star. We’re do we start faulty quad bike from day of delivery last December 😡 we are now in transit of a bike that was not fixed three times before by any professional at any standard. We have applied for a refund and was told no!! we wasn’t entitled to it even thought it had been requested since the day of opening. What else is there to say no customer service skills or any functional consumer rights understanding we are now going to trading standards. Angry is an understatement DO NOT BUY ANYTHING From this sxxt poor company
