Smyths Toys Superstores Arvostelua 

I made an online order for a child's car seat, had I been able to see it I wouldn't have bought it, my nearest store is too far away.
When I received it I saw the poor quality but because I had looked at it Smyth's told me I had to take it to store.
The answer is never buy anything online from them.

Unfortunately they make a promise of next day delivery. They have an inexpensive extra fee for this service, the delivery didn't happen for us and there was no contact from the company or the delivery company about what was happening. Attempts to track the parcel simply meant that we had no idea when it would arrive. Ordered it Sunday and it arrived on Wednesday. Good service if we hadn't paid for delivery on the Monday. Disappointed child etc!

Best prices around for video games and very quick delivery.

I ordered my son his gifts, and as usual I was last minute, but smyths were absolutely fantastic with there delivery service they really got me out of a jam.

If at all possible avoid - they know about defective products and still sell them. Shop around online and you can easily buy from other companies. Very poor customer service.

I have had the most excellent customer service from Smyths Toys. I made a mistake, thinking they had sent the incorrect item to me so they sent a replacement very quickly. I apologised for the error and was told that as I did not have a store near to me to just keep both items. How courteous and efficient all the staff have been. Thank you.

Opened their website for the first time in my life and was met with:
"Error: Access denied

An action you took has been identified as suspicious."

Guess they don't want any new customers then.

Watford store Hertfordshire.
This has to be one of the worst stores I’ve ever visited.
They treat their staff like absolute rubbish and the way the manager (Mark) I think his name was speaks to his colleagues and staff is beyond embarrassing. Also overheard a conversation between staff members whilst shopping there about him selling 20 new PS5’s to his friend, which I’m sure is not policy.
Have to say I will not be returning to shop there or support the business if that’s the kind of managers they hire.

I contacted Smyths after my daughter passed away asking them to take back a gift that was causing me distress. There customer service was appalling I was passed from one person to another getting asked the same questions over and over even after I had answered them. Weeks down the line I’m still getting asked the same questions and being told if I don’t answer they won’t help me. I’ve explained over and over that I’ve answered the questions and that I need this gone and to let me grief in peace but the lack of empathy goes on day after day. Please don’t give these horrible people your money.

Ordered Christmas presents on 13th December. Due for delivery on both 15th and 17th (??) Didn't arrive on either day.

I emailed and it was 3 full days later before I received a reply. At this point, without any communication on choices, I received an email with a cancellation, followed by a reorder, followed by an apology and 3 day delivery promise (3 days was going to be Christmas day, meaning no Christmas delivery, I might add)

My family and I had made plans to be together. Instead, I was stuck at home, alone, waiting for a delivery for which I had received a text message with one date and time of delivery but tracking was showing another date.

By the time the package arrived (on the night of the 23rd) I had lost an entire day, out of a precious few, with my family, after a very long time apart.

I emailed to complain, stating I should have been offered a refund or NEXT DAY delivery, given the timeframe and the fact that I had ordered well in advance.

I received a response saying "I see you have received your parcel now". End of.

Will not be shopping here again. I would advise people to avoid due to unreliability, extremely slow communication and ZERO customer service.

Contrary to recent reviews my experience has been really good, l ordered a fairly large and expensive item on the 21st December and received it on the 22nd, can't fault that.

I ordered an item for my grandsons first Christmas it wax due to be delivered by 7th Dec and still had not arrived. I have contacted Smyths twice and received no response from them. Meanwhile I am forced to find another gift elsewhere. Very disappointed with this shabby treatment from a supposed reputable company. My advice if you can get it elsewhere do. Smyths will only disappoint you. Rang customer services got to position 3 in the queue and got cut off definitely feel like I’m being ignored and my issues don’t matter

I went in to get a new Xbox controller. It was the manager who served me and who also told me that I could return it if I had opened the box. Thought this was a bit weird as normally that’s not the policy having worked in retail myself. So I directly them if I could return it if I have opened it, to which they replied “Yes”. With that I had to return in said state and said manager denied even having the conversation. As if when trying to engage with them they just randomly went off, when trying to speak to them. To make matters worse I was trying to speak to them another day when I went in, as for them to totally blank me again. Absolute abysmal customer service from a manager as well!

wouldn’t even give it a 1 star for customer service. Went to Smyth’s Kinsale road cork. Got served by a girl at 12 noon who couldn’t wait to go home at 4pm. She was wreaked she told me had enough. Customer Service should be mandatory when serving. It doesn’t cost much for politeness no matter what time off the year. Yes everyone can have an off day. Manager heard & said we extremely busy & always try to be cheerful walking away while laughing. Smyth’s management need to be more caring with their staff all over Ireland if there Staff don’t feel appreciated & rubbing off on their customer service while serving.

This is about an hour after I placed an order, which I only had to place to replace another order they randomly cancelled.

I can't access it from my computer or my phone so it must have blocked my whole internet connection IP.

No information given, no way of contacting them. Their web filtering is useless and their web support team must be total amateurs to allow this to happen, especially at this time of year.

Ordered a doll back in Nov
Received the order number No Doll
Contacted them waited to be told they had sold out and a refund would be sent
Wonder if they would like to tell my granddaughter that on Christmas morning
Obviously money had been paid , so would they ever had bothered ???

Always good prices on playstation games, cheaper than PS store even.

Have xbox series x but all of a sudden now you have to go to the store to buy? Before it was only online but they sold out.. Make your mind up
Wouldn't sell one in store 4 weeks ago only click n collect.. All the business that we give them and this is how there treat customers!!

Well, I bought a Paw Patrol vehicle click and collect from Gloucester branch for my grandson for Christmas. Went to collect it today and was told because I didn't have photo ID I couldn't have it. That's fine if it's company policy but store manager was so confrontational never going back to Smyths again. Amazon just got my order!
