Website for cheap children's toys

[CountryCatLady]

Hi all,

A few months ago I came across a website for discounted toys. Mostly small stocking filler type things. Only problem is I cannot remember the website.

Somebody on one of the many threads on MN pointed me there.

Any of you lovely mumsnetters know which site I am talking about?

TIA

@ChristmasisRuined have you shopped at these? I am always a bit reluctant to order from random websites which always seem like too good a bargain.

What age?
Jaques of London have some great offers on at the moment, have bought a lot from them over the years, great value and they last.

I have shopped at bargain max no issues at all

I think I used toys for a pound. Good for presents for classmates.

do NOT use Poundtoy... they use to be fantastic but something has gone wrong in the last few months and are taking money but not filling orders anymore.

I ordered over 50 things for DS birthday a month in advance (with 1 week delivery) only 2 items arrive and it was 2 weeks AFTER his birthday... I had to spend more last minute replacing everything and demand a refund.

When I googled it LOADS of people are currently having the same problem, some have been waiting 2-3 months for their items and the company keep giving excuses. They have put up some disclaimer about delays due to too many orders but it actually seem they have ran out of stock but keep taking more orders anyway.

I wouldnt be suprised if they declare bankruptsy in the ensuing months.

Strange, as I ordered from poundtoy on Sunday and it arrived today. I'm not saying at all I dont believe you, just that I have always had a good experience with them.

Maybe use paypal if you have reservations OP.

Pound tpy is great and reliable

Tiger Copenhagan does lovely little low cost toys.

Thanks for all the websites. I will check them out.

Unfortunately I don't have PayPal. Years ago set one up, and never used it.

I ordered from pound toy on the 14th for my sons party this weekend and it hasn't shown up. Should arrive today at latest. I can't get hold of them to see if has been dispatched as they said they would let me know when it was and gave not heard anything. Their phone line is "full", email and chat function does not get a response. I'm not expecting it to come given the reviews. They are BAD.

They were great a year ago, but think I just lost 30 quid. If it doesn't come i will probably go to trading standards, but will see what happens this next week.

I do wish I didn't bother with them to be honest as the reviews have made me worry. I will let you know if it does arrive on time, if at all.

Are you sure you mean Poundtoy not ToyforaPound or Poundshop etc... if you do mean Poundtoy you have been exceptionally lucky.

I ordered from this site

www.poundtoy.com/

Is that the same one?

Yes that site, you have been one of the lucky ones... they use to be great but not anymore.

heres there trustpilot reviews right now

Oh what a shame. Seems I had a lucky eacape then. I was surprised at how quickly it came!

Just reporting back here as I said I would. No the parcel did not arrive (PoundToy). I will email them to ask for parcel or refund by Friday or I will go to trading standards. Not sure what else i can do.

@Iamboredandgoingforatwix i ordered from them on the 1st November and nothing yet. Sent a (fairly) polite email, I’ll see if I get a reply too. Not holding my breath!
