Pre school bag!
We’ve just received our bag, and we’re absolutely delighted with it! The quality is amazing, and it’s even better than we expected. It’s beautifully made, and we can already tell it’s going to last.
The customer service (Ewelina) has been outstanding from start to finish. She was always quick to reply, helpful, understanding, and kept us updated throughout the whole process.
Unfortunately, we had some issues with Evri during the delivery, but the company handled everything professionally and gave us great support until my replacement parcel arrived safely. That level of customer care really made a difference.
We’re so happy with our purchase and the service we received. We would definitely buy from them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for great quality products and excellent customer service!

I’ve ordered twice from My 1st Years
I’ve ordered twice from My 1st Years. As with a lot of products you can personalise, they can be expensive but worth keeping an eye on the sales. Items have arrived with correct spelling and text, nice packaging and in good time. I am disappointed by the quality of the personalisation on one of the plush toys though. I thought it would be embroidered but just looks like someone used some glitter glue or vinyl transfer. The listing says “flock” but I wouldn’t have thought this to look at it. Would consider shopping again but for wooden products.

Hey, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
We're delighted to hear you've shopped with us more than once and that you've been pleased with the presentation, delivery, and accuracy of your personalised orders. It's wonderful to know you've had positive experiences overall.
We're sorry to hear that the personalisation on one of the plush toys wasn't what you were expecting. We understand your disappointment. The personalisation on this particular item is applied using a flock transfer rather than embroidery, and we appreciate your comments about how it appeared. Feedback like yours is incredibly valuable, and we'll be sure to pass it on to our product team as we continually review our product descriptions and ranges.
Thank you again for your honest review and for recommending our wooden products. We hope we'll have the opportunity to create another special personalised gift for you in the future.

Missing parcel and no responsibility taken
I had a parcel marked as delivered, but it had simply been left outside my property and was no longer there when I returned home.
When I contacted customer service, I expected them to investigate with Evri. Instead, I was told I had to obtain a Crime Reference Number from the police before they would even begin an investigation. I find this completely unreasonable. At this stage, I have no way of knowing whether the parcel was stolen, misdelivered, or simply left in an unsafe place.
Rather than taking responsibility and investigating with their courier, the burden was placed entirely on me. This has made what should have been a straightforward customer service issue unnecessarily stressful and time-consuming.
I hope the company reviews this policy, as it creates a poor customer experience when something goes wrong.

Hi,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're very sorry to hear about your experience and understand how frustrating it must have been to find your parcel marked as delivered but no longer at your property.
We appreciate your comments regarding our process. As part of our missing parcel policy, if a parcel has been marked as delivered but cannot be located, we do require a Crime Reference Number before we can proceed with a claim. This policy is in place because, in cases where a parcel may have been stolen after delivery, our courier and claims process requires this documentation before an investigation can be progressed.
We understand this may feel like an additional step, however it is a standard part of our claims procedure and helps us investigate these cases appropriately. We do appreciate your feedback regarding the impact this had on your experience, and we will ensure your comments are shared with the relevant team for review.
We sincerely apologise for the disappointment and inconvenience caused, and we thank you for taking the time to let us know about your experience.
Best regards,
Shannon-Management Team My 1st Years

Have recently ordered a gift for my new Grandson. I made a mistake in what I ordered and I cannot praise their customer service enough. They went above and beyond to rectify my mistake.

I would seriously recommend not using Evri to deliver.
I did call and complain but told by First Years this is your chosen company.
I love your products but sadly will not be ordering any more from you due to delivery being left outside with other parcels not for me and not where I requested or at the time sent to me!
