Some lovely traditional toys. Great educational toys. Site not the best, I found going through the tab of toys by age gave you the best variety otherwise you could miss things.

    Saw this on HDUK last night and placed an order but beware as some of the RRP's appear overinflated and you can get many of the items cheaper elsewhere. I've ordered a my first sewing kit for £15 which was apparently originally £30 only to find the same one on the Smyths site for £12.99 and this doesn't include the 20% discount- so double check before ordering
  • Bobsa1 is right....but there are some absolute bargains in there too! I've just ticked quite a lot off my Christmas shopping list!:j
  • I agree that some of the prices are over inflated but there are also many that are a good price or that you can't find easily elsewhere. There are free returns but unfortunately there is no way around the £3.50 postage!

    I meant to say in last post that Letterbox pricematch, I would contact them regarding your sewing kit for a partial refund.
  • Thanks OP. Agree with the above, need to check the prices on other sites of items as some of the RRPs are a little inflated but still some great bargains to be had. :beer: Wish I'd seen this earlier as there are a couple of things that I would have loved to have ordered that are now out of stock.

    Has anyone who ordered had it progress beyond 'Awaiting Shipment'?

    I received mine today. I got an email last night telling me to expect delivery today. Very happy with my order. :)
  • I placed an order on Saturday and I've not heard a thing. I emailed them to ask where my order was and was basically just given the opening hours of their order line. Haven't had chance to phone but I'm not impressed, their website said up to 5 working days for delivery but it looks like it will be longer than that!!

    I too sent a pointless email. My concern is not so much a delayed delivery, but a cancellation. I suspect that this sale might well lead to them no longer trading.
  • There seems to be someone answering recent queries on their Facebook page - not sure if that helps. Maybe try contacting them that way.
