Brilliant customer service
Brilliant customer service. A gift of my baby broke and I didn’t have a gift receipt. It was her favourite gift and the ELC quickly offered and sent out a replacement. The email exchange was so quick - very impressed.

Bought a game and there was a piece missing. Emailed ELC with pictures and receipt. Had a new game sent to me a few days later. Very satisfied.

Placed an online order 2 weeks ago
Placed an online order 2 weeks ago, got an email confirmation of my order that day and didn't hear anything else after that. Contacted ELC today to see what was taking my order so long and they said oh it was returned to us a week ago becuase the packaging was damaged!!! When was I going to be made aware of this??? No order repackaged and sent out, no refund, no email updating me of this... Asked for my order to be sent back out again only to be told that a number of my items were now out of stock!! What happened to my items that were returned, why were they not sent back out to me?? And to top it all off they have just stopped communicating with me, so don't know if I'm getting the rest of my order or getting refunded.. Will not be ordering anything from ELC again, customer service is a joke !!
