Unfortunately our cardboard Xmas tee arrived defective (it was missing one of the slots so the two parts don’t slot together). The cardboard also isn’t recycled so not quite as eco as would be ideal.... See more

Written by the company

Kid-Eco strives to offer a sustainable solution to play time for children across the country, without the use of harmful plastics found in the majority of toys worldwide. For the last 15 years, we have been successfully producing a fantastic range of innovative, highly interactive, safe and affordable cardboard playhouses; designed and manufactured in the UK from biodegradable recycled corrugated cardboard. Our playhouses are great for imaginative self-decoration and role play, being tremendously popular with schools and childcare providers, as well as at home, parties and other special occasions or events. Kid-Eco playhouses are predominantly suitable for Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) activities as well as Key Stages 1 & 2 Arts and Crafts. All kid-Eco playhouses fold flat for storage between use and are both recyclable and bio-degradable. We regularly run competitions in recognition of your little ones efforts and host the Kid-Eco Gallery so that they can see their endeavours online and be inspired by what others are creating. We frequently award prizes for photos sent into the gallery and list winners on our social media pages!

No delivery or customer service

Please avoid! It Started off great, got confirmation email of purchase and then 2 days later an email saying it was shipped. However, no information, links or live tracking for the delivery and have no idea who it was dispatched with as we still haven't received our order and its nearly 2 weeks. No phone number on website to call only a "contact" filling in form. Had no response from the online form on their Web page or from emails I've sent to their sales team. I'm going to have to call my credit card conoany to see if I can get my money back through them as i think it's a bogus company! No address or phone number.

Very slow delivery

Very slow delivery. As I write the item has not even been delivered and the party that it was for has already happened. I emailed to try to get an update on my order and had zero response. Very unhappy with the service. I ordered a week before the event. The fact that you can’t really contact the company either is very frustrating.

Do not buy from this company!

Advertised delivery window is completely false - website states 3-5 days, 10 days later the order status is still 'ready to ship'. Would recommend steering well clear of this company.

Where is my order?!

I have emailed this company three times to find my missing parcel but still no response. I hoped for better given that this company looks like such a nice one!

Very slow delivery and no response

It’s been 11 days so far since I made the order online. I imagined it would . And it’s been stuck on “on its way to depot” for at least 5 of those days. Not sure why it took so longer to make it to the delivery depot.

It will now not arrive in time for my daughters party so I will have to return and buy another alternative. I also emailed to ask about delivery and have had zero response. Not fantastic customer service. Wouldn’t use this company again.

don't order when rain is due.

Princess castle is great, bought for grand children in mind. Please remember this is made of cardboard & comes in cardboard packaging so you have to be in when delivered or the delivery company will just leave it out in the rain as in my case, but luckily the rain had stopped and only the bottom of packaging was wet when I brought it in before it started to rain again.5 stars for the castle but 0 stars for the delivery company/driver.
