“Fantastic Service”

★★★★★

written by on 30/08/2014

If i could give Why Wood Works 10 stars i would. They are BRILLIANT. I purchased the IM dolly pram and pintoy fire station for my Grand children The quality of the products was second to none, the attention to detail is perfect. Excellant quality. I placed my order on tuesday afternoon at approx 13:30 and my products where with me on the Wednesday at 14:30, now that is what i call service. I also had occasion to speak with the team via e-mail regarding p&p, they were so prompt - they replied immediatley. I will certainly be purchasing from them again and have already recommended them to my friends, family and colleagues. Thank you for such great service and quality items. Keep up the good work.

“Great products and service ”

★★★★★

written by marcos1 on 28/08/2013

I ordered Quadrilla Twist and Rail for my son on Thursday and it arrived promptly on Friday. The product is better than I expected, more substantial than others in the market and so many options for construction which has great play value. I have used Why Wood Works twice before and they have always delivered on time, promptly and have a great range of products. I have already recommend them to all my friends and look forward to using them again as Christmas approaches.

“Overall Package”

★★★★★

written by Angde1976 on 16/08/2013

As my young daughter is now very much enjoying her 'animal theme', my husband and I decided to purchase a Animal Barn. We wanted a wooden one so looked around for a one that we liked. We found the Barn to be very reasonable at Why Wood Works, the website was very easy to navigate and use and the order process was easy, without glitches. And the chance to pay via paypal...always a bonus! It arrived within the stated time (and free delivery as a bonus!) The barn was easy to assemble and good quality.....PERFECT. Not sure who will enjoy it more, my daughter or my husband!

written by cardinal007 on 08/08/2013

A friend recommended this site to me, and I was delighted with the whole experience! The website was very easy to use and navigate around with plenty of ideas for me to help with the birthday selection process! Delivery was as described and on time and more importantly the product description and review matched perfectly = one happy five year old daughter (marble tower!!!) Loads to choose from and would highly recommend to all my friends. Roll on Christmas!

“Hape Dolls House”

★☆☆☆☆

written by delturner on 07/06/2013

After receiving the Hape All Season Wooden Dolls House a day late I found that it was missing a drill hole. I then paid someone to drill hole (didn't have right skills or tools to accurately drill without splitting the wood. I contacted Why Wood Works who were initially apologetic but then did nothing to resolve the issue. They "passed the buck" to the manufacturer and said that they would replace it. It was also for a birthday present so we could not wait to go through the whole process again and then wait for delivery. They also offered no compensation for the hassle and cost....not even a free doll.

Sindae's Response to delturner's Review

Written on: 23/06/2013

As per our terms and conditions a replacement was offered the customer for faulty product. The refused to call back the manufacture when they left a message to arrange. A collection and refund was offered - the customer said they didn't want to return the item. Every effort was made to resolve.

“Poor quality toy - no response when asked for refund”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 03/01/2013

I bought a pintoys wooden rocket which cost more than £40 from why wood works. It was a christmas present for my daughter and broke after a week of use. The problem was poor design and quality. When I contacted why wood works for a refund both by phone and email I received no response. It is a shame because I have previously bought products from them which have been fine. However, in this case, the customer service was absolutely zero.

The customer was informed that the product would be replaced under the manufactures warrantee without no question. However, manufaturers were closed over christmas and closed for 2 weeks post christmas for stock take. This caused a delay with the replacement.

“Great products and service”

★★★★★

written by on 19/12/2012

I have ordered toys from Why Wood Works for the last 3 or 4 years. The products are fabulous quality and the delivery has always arrived on the next day. Again, I ordered this year in time for Christmas and have not been let down. The kiddomoto bike and helmet arrived before twelve on next day service. The team were very helpful. I will order again and would recommend this company highly.

“Product great Customer Service none existent!”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 04/12/2012

The Carl Fogarty Kiddimoto balance bike was fantastic once it arrived. Ordered it on a Monday placed order with 'Why wood works' as they promise next day delivery and arrived on the Friday!- not good enough as it is ore expensive than on some sites. My advise is to get the product elsewhere. The call centre you go through to are not helpful and don't care once the order has been received and they have taken payment. I called and called and called and only ever received 1 phone call back when promised to investigate and get back to me. Manager could not be contacted be staff on any of the days as the call centre staff could not get hold of her either. Communication was abysmal - AVOID !!

This is unfortunate, all customer orders are shipped next day as per our terms and conditions. Delays only occur where there is an issue with payment or Parcelforce have experienced difficulty delivering. We cannot control these circumstances when they arise. All customers are provided with tracking references numbers and advised to be vigilant if their order has not arrived when expected. Once shipped WhyWoodWorks can only chase deliveries through the Central Parcelforce Office due to data protection. We advise customers that they should also contact their local depot using the tracking reference provided to expedite.

“Definitely buy from again!”

★★★★★

written by Melwel on 01/11/2012

After shopping around for a marble run set we decided on the quadrilla twist and rail set. Why wood works offered the best price plus free delivery, I ordered it that night and it was delivered just 2 days later. Very well packaged, great item, very pleased. I received notification emails every step of the order so if needed I could have checked on my delivery. Great service and I would recommend and definitely buy from them again.

“Turning a negative to a positive!”

★★★★★

written by medomien on 15/06/2012

I ordered a Plum wooden sand pit of a certain size through Why Wood Works thinking their site looked genuine enough and they had a good rating on Google Shopping. Unfortunately, upon calling the company to order it for me, they were advised that this particular one had been discontinued! Quite wonderfully though, they managed to offer me a LARGER sand pit for the price of the smaller (quite a price difference too) as there were no middle options... I did have to check my garden was big enough for it before accepting... :) Sundae and Nathalie were extremely apologetic and helpful. You couldn't ask for better service really. Obviously, the delivery was slightly delayed because of this, but it was only a few days and well worth it!! I have yet to build the sand pit, but had a look through the box and it looks very sturdy and the wood smell is lovely... Thank you!!

“Really impressed with customer service!”

★★★★★

written by emz2u on 18/12/2011

I bought the Rock with me Puppy rocker, which, at £72 on the whywoodworks website, seemed the cheapest online I could find. I was initially dubious as with it being Christmas soon, I know some items online may not arrive on time. However, the rocker was delivered within a couple of days and we were very impressed. On opening the box however, we realised the rocker was damaged so we called the customer services dept and were told they would send out another one for a day later. I was very dubious by this point but couldnt have been more wrong!! They were true to their word and another one arrived a day later, in perfect condition! Very impressive customer service and I will most definitely be buying from again! The rocker is fab and I have seen lots of things on their website that I know my daughter will love for her birthday in April. If you are worried about buying from here, dont be!!

“Great service, great product”

★★★★★

written by on 15/12/2011

The easel arrived on the day promised, in time for my small grandson's birthday. He seized on it eagerly and immediately set to work at the blackboard (note: you need to provide chalks separately but a good roll of paper comes with the easel). Nicely made and easy to put together - and the whiteboard on the other side has the added advantage that you can stick magnets on it.
