Customer Service

Pros:

  • "Ordered twice from here, quick delivery and fantastic customer service (down to earth staff)."
  • "The sales person gave me a catalogue with all the animals available so if the girls wanted to collect more in the future, they would know what was available, very helpful."
  • "The staff are very helpful, friendly customer oriented."
  • "When I had a query over delivery times, I could pick up the phone and speak to a real person who was courteous, helpful and made the whole customer service experience a pleasure."

  • "After a long and unfriendly phone call to the surly staff."
  • "The staff is so rude when you ask about anything."
  • "Was in here today with my husband looking for a present for our nephews Christmas! My husband has a hidden illness and is therefore exempt from wearing a face covering but the rude staff were very intrusive when asking why he wasn’t wearing a mask and told us to leave the store!"
  • "Service when ordering online - appalling!"
  • "The staff here in my experience make this shop an unpleasant place to visit."

Product Availability and Selection

Pros:

  • "More schleich than we've seen anywhere else, displayed well and same competitive prices."
  • "It is like stepping back in time going into this shop, floor to ceiling class cabinets full of model planes, radio controlled cars, toys for kids and adults too."
  • "A complete treasure trove of highly detailed modelling kits, remote control cars, jeeps, boats etc etc etc!"
  • "All was available and in stock, delivery was super quick and items was well packaged."
  • "Great range of items and everything I've needed has always been in stock."
  • "Astonishing selection of models, scalextric, radio controlls etc etc etc."
  • "They stock almost everything you could imagine to do with models and imaginative play, from dolls' houses to airfix through radio control models and Lego."

Cons:

  • "I am appalled and deeply disappointed as now I am left without one of my key Christmas presents and everywhere seems to be out of stock at this stage."
  • "Disappointing as two of the three articles ordered were out of stock."
  • "Lego stock was less than I'd hoped."
  • "Sadly they do not carry stock that is advertised on their website."
  • "The general models are much more expensive than buying on amazon or ebay."
  • "The item I required was not in store."
  • "They didn't have the specific item the customer was after and cannot give an exact time or date for stock to arrive due to Brexit."

Shop Experience

Pros:

  • "It's brilliant visiting a PROPER shop!"
  • "I loved being able to buy my children the Hotshot II and Clodbuster and be able to relive my childhood whilst sharing my children's joy and excitement."
  • "A great shop with lots of variety, not many about anymore that stock so much."
  • "It's a fantastic shop! This year I got back into making model kits and these guys have been indispensable!"

  • "Great shop for model kits. Fantastic selection and very knowledgeable staff."
  • "This is a child's heaven (and for the child still prancing mischievously in many of us)!"

Cons:

  • "Only suggestion I might have is to do some serious dusting as I have noticed in quite a few areas very thick layers of it, as if not touched in months."
  • "Entrance and till area no probs but some areas bit tight.... So they moved stuff and then it was easy!"
  • "Never again. There are so many online companies offering the same as Wonderland and I’ll spend my money with someone friendly and normal in future."
  • "The whole order has been cancelled because the debit card I used doesn’t have something called 3D authentication."
  • "Oh, and I'm in a manual wheelchair and they really helped me."
  • "Visited this place for the first time today and all I can say is that the staff are so rude and unapproachable."
  • "Shop does not adhere to government guidance or Equality Act 2010 regarding face covering rules."
