Avoid, Avoid Avoid

Like several fokes on here I've placed orders before and had no issues. However something has changed since the middle of last year. I know the actual shop shut, and the toy chronicle blog made a sorry statement about fokes not getting orders.

I placed a £600 Pre order last April which was supposed to be sent by the end of the last year and have received nothing. I have tried and tried to contact the seller and had no response to any of the emails. Luckily I paid through klarna and I contacted them with a dispute and have got my money back. If you paid through klarna and haven't received items definitely contact them,as they have a buyer's protection policy for anyone who has purchased through them. I believe they are also currently investigating the shop aswell.

I believe there are quite a few people who haven't received orders, so I would avoid at all costs and purchase your toys from elsewhere.

Where’s my order?

I’ve ordered online and it’s been over a week with no updates on when my order will be dispatched. I have tried contacting them multiple times but no replies. Customer support is non-existent. Will not be using them again.

I pre-ordered an item that never arrived…

I pre-ordered an item that was supposed to release in September, it's October now and it's not arrived and i've not received any update on The Toy Chronicle. Also their is no support email or contact detail so i'm not too impressed.

Hey Nick, I have dropped you an email. Our pre-order items have 'expected' ship dates due to unexpected delays with shipping into East London from around the globe. The produce you purchased arrived this week and shipped yesterday to you. Our email address can be found within our Terms & Conditions tab on every product. You can also reply to the Order Confirmation email that you would have received.

Stellar!

Fast shipping, great prices, and an amazing toy selection. Honestly, what else do you need from a store? Maybe some great customer service? Well guess what, The Toy Chronicle's got that too. 10/10 would recommend.

The very best UK art toy store

I’ve placed quite a few orders with The Toy Chronicle now and I’m always thrilled with my purchases and the care of packing - with added sweeties and stickers! So many amazing toys that you can’t find elsewhere in the UK and super friendly, knowledgeable and passionate owners. What more could you ask for?!
