“The one star is for the speed of delivery which was excellent. The product itself was so disappointing I was embarrassed to be giving it is as a present, even my 12 year old son commented on how we'd obviously been given the stuff that couldn't sell. It was supposed to be something that would cheer my husband up having his birthday in self isolation but I think he thought I'd lost the plot effectively giving him cheap plastic and puzzle books which I could have got for a third of the price at WHSmith. I feel like I've been robbed and I will have to spend more money now to make up for this bad gift. Sadly I won't be buying from this company again and certainly will be advising anyone else to stay well clear of the mystery boxes.”

Hi Evelyne, Thank you for taking the time to review us. We are very sorry to hear that your latest Firebox experience was not satisfactory. Your Firebox experience as well as your feedback about it, is very valuable to us and we do not want it to be a negative one. We looked into your order and can see you disputed the delivery of the next-day parcel. We would have loved nothing more than to send out your order but the items within it we cannot ship to Belgium due to a variation of reasons, including the shipping restrictions imposed by the courier. We are very sorry about this! We can see that you were refunded in full as requested. Very sorry we let you down in this occasion but hope we can make it up to you next time. Regards, Firebox

“Ordered an item in plenty of time for christmas, twice I was told it was out for delivery then just never arrived, when in fact it just wasn’t in stock. I was promised that it was due to come into stock within a week, and then it would be sent first class, to arrive before Christmas. Again, never arrived, cancelled my order. If I had just been told to start with that Firebox were unable to fill my order I could have just looked for the item elsewhere.”

“I was excited to welcome Pierre my home. However it took forever for him to arrive after placing the order in October 2019 and didn't receive him until January 2020. When he showed up I was happy until i noticed a hole in his back where stuffing was coming out. So I waited all those months for a damaged friend.”

Try to contact after Xmas as appreciate busy, no answers to WhatsApp, emails, tweets, messenger for almost a month. When did, was told very busy with issues and not enough staff. This was my first and last order from Firebox.”

“Was so bad I ordered a mug for £10 then the website glitched and did the purchase twice then when I asked for one of the orders to be cancelled they waited a week to reply once the mug was sent to say they couldn’t cancel the order because it had already arrived. I ended up paying the postage twice for both the mugs as well which was an extra £8 on top of the order”
