Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 251 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many customers expressed dissatisfaction with the products, citing poor quality, flimsy materials, and items not matching advertised images. People frequently reported issues with orders, including non-delivery, missing items, and incorrect products. The delivery service was also a major point of contention, with complaints about long wait times, fake tracking information, and damaged packaging upon arrival. Reviewers also felt that the prices were overinflated for the quality of the goods received. Some people were dissatisfied with the lack of communication from the company regarding their orders and refund requests. A few other people also questioned the company's branding as "Australian Kids" given that products often shipped directly from China and were perceived as cheap imports. However, some customers also noted that their orders arrived quickly and were well-packaged, and a few found the pricing to be fair.

Total Rip Off

I received advice of delivery from the courier for this company. Nothing was delivered and POD photos were fake. Australian Kids and iMile (courier) both "investigated" for weeks. No parcel was ever delivered. No refund for purchase. Just email after email after email with excuses and more lies. DO NOT TRUST THIS SITE. Adding on 18 December in response to their reply. Needless to say I've received NOTHING. Glad they "appreciate the opportunity" to make things right! Hilarious.

I am sorry I did not read the reviews on the company before purchasing two items. The items are cheap and terrible quality. DO NOT BUY FROM THE COMPANY. They are not an Australian company and they cheap junk at absorbent prices.

Hello Shannan,

Thank you for sharing your experience. I’m sorry to hear about the issues you faced — not receiving an order confirmation, difficulty reaching support, and then receiving products with damaged packaging and instructions that didn’t match your expectations. I understand how frustrating and concerning that would be.

This is not the level of service or clarity we aim to provide, and I apologise for the inconvenience this caused. I’d like to look into your order so we can address both the confirmation issue and the concerns with the products you received. If you can share the email used at checkout and any photos of the items and packaging, we’ll investigate this promptly and work toward a proper resolution.

You only get 1 dinosaur when you get the light up dinosaur bath toy.

I am bitterly disappointed with my order today.
I ordered the light up dinosaur bath toys reduced from $39.95 to $19.95 thinking I was getting a set. I thought my grandson would love this for Xmas. However this price was for a single dinosaurs. All the pictures advertising this product has kids playing with multiple. I was sad to receive only 1 today.

Hello Jackie,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. I’m sorry to hear that the product didn’t meet your expectations. The listing does indicate that the price is for a single dinosaur, but I understand how the images could have caused some confusion, and we’ll review them to make this clearer.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

What a waste of money. I paid $20 for something that should cost $2.00.

Peep-Po Teddy -appalling quality

Peep-Po Teddy -appalling quality, best described as cheap and nasty! Shipped from China. Not fit for purpose and I doubt it would meet safety regulations. Absolute rip off and a scam.

1 star is too generous for this…

1 star is too generous for this company. Firstly the phone number on their website is not connected. Secondly the photo on their website vs what I received is just a printout of the item. I wish I could add photos here.
I would like a full refund on my order and i am not paying to send back a photo copy of the item for the refund.
I'm embarrassed that I fell for this business.

My order number is: ORDER AK-AU65664

NOT AN AUSTRALIAN COMPANY

Incredibly disappointing to realise that these items were cheap rubbish from
China arriving in a little plastic bag, where the colours of my items were all wrong and the packaging of the toys were damaged. The quality was disgusting - similar to temu and shein but not at those prices!!!
Return shipping is not included as advertised, they will just offer you a 30% refund. Reading their websites mislead me to believe they’re an Australian ran and owned company, which I like to support. I feel like I’ve been completely scammed. It’s illegal to do what they’re doing and I will be taking it further.

This company is a scam

This company is a scam, then took my money and never delivered the product. They said if I wanted to find out what happened to my product I had to contact the delivery company myself, which have also never gotten back to me.

I ordered from Aussie kids many months ago..unfortunately I didn’t read any reviews of this company….no sign of my order and doubt whether I’ll be receiving it. Steer clear everyone…..and they’re definitely not Australian!

False advertising NOT AUSTRALIAN - DON'T BUY

False advertising - it's not Australian it's crap from China.

Plastic junk toys, worse than temu. I bought 3x dinosaur trucks. They are cheap plastic. Cost $13 each, I wouldn't pay more than $2 for them.

Crap packaging. Slow delivery.

Total waste of money.

I think this site must be a scam

I recently did an order for my new grandson. I never received an email confirmation but monies were put through on my credit card straightaway. I’ve no order number so therefore I cannot track this order. I also feel this is a scam site and I’m not at all confident I’ll be receiving my products
