Double Boxed Toys

We needed a birthday present for my nephew who is impossible to shop for, and I've been ordering from these people for about six years now. Never had a problem. The box came well packed and everything was where it should be, which is all I ask really.

I ordered the aircraft model kit I had been looking for, having searched elsewhere without success. Everything arrived in good order and the instructions are clear. I am grateful for the courteous service and would happily order from them again.

Used to buy this sort of thing from a big supermarket site, and this beats it for the range of model kits. I've been a regular for years now. Delivery is always quick and the boxes are sturdy.

Honestly the board game looked much bigger in the photos than it turned out to be. The box is smaller and the pieces feel a bit flimsy. Checking the dimensions before buying would have saved me the bother of sending it back.

I looked at a few kits before choosing this cross stitch one for my sister. The fabric and threads were exactly what I needed and the pattern was easy to follow. Delivery was on time and the box was well packed.

We bought the wooden dolls house for my granddaughter's sixth birthday and she has played with it every single day since. The little furniture pieces are a good size for small hands. I've used this company many times over the years and they have never let me down.

Ordered a pack of guitar strings and a capo through the app on the bus. Checkout was quick, saved my card, and the strings were at my door the next morning. Exactly what I wanted, no fuss at all, and the price was the same as on the main website.

Needed something for the kids on a rainy day and the site had it in stock. Ordered on my phone during my lunch break, took about two minutes. Delivery came Thursday as promised but the box was a bit squashed. Toy was fine.

I was rather disappointed to find the jigsaw I ordered had been listed as in stock when it was not. It took nearly two weeks to arrive, and I had to ring to ask where it was. The puzzle itself is lovely and the staff on the phone were helpful once I got through.

Compared to the big high street chain, this was about a fiddy cheaper for the same action figure set my son wanted. Delivery was a day slower than the site said but nothing dramatic. For a budget birthday present it did the job well.

Compared with ordering the same puzzle from a big online marketplace, these were a few quid more but the box came directly from them. This was my first order so I was a bit nervous. Delivery took four days, which was fine. The packaging could be a bit tighter.

I was after a full set of brushes and a fixative for my oil painting and found the lot in one place. The site let me filter by medium, which saved loads of scrolling. Everything turned up in good nick and the brushes are exactly what the description said. Will be back for canvases.

Best place I've found for a last minute gift, and I looked at three other sites first. Their range of board games is much better than the big names and the prices were fair. Ordered on the Monday, arrived Wednesday.

I purchased the model railway kit for a project I have been putting off for some time. The instructions were clear and the parts arrived as described, which I find is not always the case with these kits. I shall certainly order from them again when the next project comes along.

I compared this against two other sites for a set of watercolour paints, and this one was the cheapest by a bit. The pack arrived with two tubes slightly cracked, though they sent replacements quickly. Customer service answered my email within a day, which was nice.

Needed a cheap gift for my friend's leaving do and these were a fair price for a set of sticker books. Delivery was a bit slow, took about five days. Still, I'd buy from them again for something small.

Ordered a set of dinosaur colouring books and a pack of stickers for my niece's party bag, and the stickers were exactly what I wanted. The order took a few clicks to find the delivery slot I wanted and the checkout asked me to sign in twice, which was a bit fiddly. Arrived one day later than the site said but the tracking was accurate and it all went smoothly after that.

They're the place I always go to for my knitting supplies and I'd say it's the best spot for them. Everything I've ordered over the past decade has turned up in good condition. The staff on the phone are polite and patient when I have questions.

Needed a present for my little brother's birthday and I was running out of time. Found this set on my phone, ordered in about a minute. It turned up the next day. Brilliant.

Pretty solid pick for craft supplies, the glitter glue and card stock were just what my daughter's school project needed. Good range and I like that they list the age suitability clearly. The only niggle is the delivery took five days when it said three.
