The experience only rates 3 stars, but Sharnee who helped sort out the problem via their live chat, bumps it to 4 stars as she was super efficient. I'm not sure what happened, but the billing address... See more

No item, no contact - don’t bother with them

Poor customer service. Placed an order and the promised click and collect date passed without any updates whatsoever. Still no contact or order.

Have tried contacting via several channels (email, chat, WhatsApp) but they don’t bother responding.

Awful company. No wonder we but from Amazon instead.

Good old fashioned customer service

To whom it may concern Does your company acknowledge/reward staff who give excellent customer service? If you do I would like to put forward if I may an employee of yours who gave me and my son Kasper top quality, genuine customer service.
In this day and age it is unfortunate that as customers we do not come across more staff, more often, who smile, look customers in the eye and are sincere and genuine, with good old fashioned manners.
Rebeka at your Entertainer store in the Bridges shopping centre, Sunderland was always smiling, excellent manners, just the right amount of informality and a genuine fun person who clearly enjoys her role within your company.
Entertainer are very fortunate indeed to have Rebeka working for your company and she should be used to show other employees how to give excellent customer service
I am a 68 year old retired Armed Forces Veteran with a 7 year old son and would like to believe that I am someone who notices outstanding genuine professional service.
Kindest Regards
Mr Peter Snowdon

This is fabulous feedback for Rebeka. I have shared this with her area manager so she gets the pat on the back she deserves. :-)

Items never arrived

Items never arrived. Allegedly dispatched on 16 March with no tracking info and items never arrived.
My 7 year old is now £40 down from his birthday money with nothing to show for it. Never again!

Not Entertained, just frustrated!

There's nothing more frustrating than customer service correspondence, where they haven't read the notes. I was back and forth for 2 weeks with The Entertainer, trying to get the correct toy for my son, they sent the wrong one. I sent pictures of the problem, sent the product code and asked for a replacement. First they asked for the product code - please check my original email. Then they wanted to know if I wanted a refund or replacement - as per my original email, a replacement please. Next was the pictures - they're attached to my original email. Lastly they confirmed that I wanted a replacement - yes please! Now they've refunded me!! When I messaged again asking for the replacement, I've been told there's none in stock! OMG! So frustrating!!

Ordered a product

Ordered a product, opted for standard delivery as there was plenty of time and it came too late. Not sure if this was entertainers fault or yodel, requested to return and was quickly sorted for collection. Kyle N was very helpful. The returns and tracking could be more clear or with a better user experience.

Positive ending and issue was resolved.

I was first unhappy about the reply coming after the item was dispatched (I wanted to cancel) and then had Evri has the delivery (I’ve had bad experiences with them) so was overall frustrated. Refiloe Was very kind and put in a cancellation with Evri returning the order.
Was very quick with the response and the issue was resolved. Many thanks!

Viwe gave me very prompt and helpful customer service via Instagram DM. However, giving a rating of 4* as the customer service via form on the Entertainer website was very slow. Click and collect was not reliable, as the website incorrectly stated that the item would be available in 30mins, but it actually turned out to be 3 days.

Refund

I ordered some toys and due to the order being delayed, I wanted a refund as it says on the website, if the order is not picked up then the money will be refunded. However,I didn't receive anything for a whole month. I contacted customer service and lovely Sharnee was really helpful, identified the issue and processed the refund right away ✅️
