Utterly Appalling
This company is based in Austria and appears to source many of its toys directly from China, with a number of identical products available on sites such as Temu at significantly lower prices.
Customer service is slow to respond and, in my experience, they took very little accountability for the issues I encountered.
Please do your research before ordering, I certainly wish I had.
I ordered two birthday gifts costing just under £40. Delivery took 18 days from the date I placed my order.
When the parcel finally arrived, both items were damaged. One was in a cardboard box and the other in a plastic case, yet both had simply been placed together inside a single mailing box with inadequate protection. The damage appeared to be the direct result of poor packaging.
I contacted Little Kingdom immediately, providing photographs of the packaging and the damaged items. Their first response was to blame the courier and offer either replacement items or a 15% refund.
As the items were birthday gifts, replacements with another 18-day delivery time were of no use, and a 15% refund was unacceptable given that the gifts were damaged and unusable. I therefore requested a prepaid returns label, their returns details, and confirmation that I would receive a full refund, including the original delivery costs.
Several days later, they replied saying I could return the items to Austria at my own expense or accept a 50% refund instead. Returning the parcel would have cost me around £30, plus any applicable import charges, making it completely unreasonable. I again declined the 50% offer and repeated my request for a prepaid returns label and confirmation of a full refund.
A few days later I was told they did not consider the damage significant enough to warrant a refund and apologised for the inconvenience. It felt as though they were hoping I would simply give up, but I again requested a prepaid return and full refund.
After several more days of silence, I received another email that appeared to ignore the previous correspondence entirely. It apologised that I had received damaged goods and instructed me to return them to "[returns address]"—except no address was actually included. I can only assume they still intended me to send them back to Austria.
At the time of writing, the matter remains unresolved and I am only a few days away from the deadline my bank has given the retailer to resolve the dispute before proceeding with a chargeback.
Based on my experience, I would advise anyone considering ordering from this company to do plenty of research first. If something goes wrong, be prepared for slow responses, repeated negotiations instead of a straightforward resolution, and the possibility of having to involve your bank to recover your money.
