Reviews of Smyths Toys Superstores
S.
Went in on saturday 11/12/21 and was fairly busy, but the service from all staff members we spoke to were fantastic, especially from the store manager Dan who was really accommodating and went above and beyond to meet my expectations, finding the right toy which was originally out of stock, and now we will have a very happy 2yr old this xmas, 10 out of 10, thank you Smyths
P.
Placed an order, online, & was ready to pickup, within the hour. Fast service, in store, & while we were there, we picked up a couple more things, & were helped to choose a bike, for our granddaughter, mostly by her. 🤓

Our first visit today and we wished we'd known about this place earlier. The range is better than competitors in town and good value too. The car park is bedlam at weekends though. And I don't appreciate having to listen to nasty commercial radio pumped through the tannoy. Is that to improve staff motivation, perhaps? It would drive me spare if I had to listen to that all day. Nonetheless, we will be back and it's good to have discovered a decent toyshop on our doorstep.
S. K.
Good toys, could be a better selection for games nd gaming accessories
D.
Great customer service by all.
Bought a bike for Christmas, which had an issue with the rear tyre. Took it back with the receipt (it had not not been ridden) and fixed within 10 minutes with no hesitation. Wasn't expecting that from reading a previous review.
Plus the two members of staff behind the computer game counter, excellent knowledge and advice. Very friendly and exceptional professionalism. Well done.
Impressed with the level of service despite the busy time of year.

Its good its smyths staff are nice and its sticked to the rafters with every kids dreams I didn't see any caps in stock and its a really tidy store !! We did well and got most on "Santa's list" 😊

Really nice shop to go buy toys. I don't usually come in cause I don't live nearby but normally come in to buy the kids a little treat. Really good range of toys, they sell almost every toy you can think of.

Easy to order on line and pick up in store second visit in a week forgot to get activity sets first visit it was a bit more crowded than i would have liked but that how it is now
D. H.
Went in with my daughter to buy a Xbox. Two shop assistants, Frances and Bobbie could not have been more patient, knowledgeable or helpful. I find the staff in the store to be friendly, engaging and fully conversant with the products. a credit to the manager Dan. Thank you
M. W.
Shop is fine, lots of products for children of all ages. However each time I've been its like walking into a nightclub the music is so loud, and totally inappropriate music for a child's shop. I can't think straight so end up leaving and heading of to Argos or B and M's. No idea why they thinks that's good for business.

I collected a birthday gift from the Chelmsford store this evening, as Colchester was sold out; unavoidably, my little boy was with me.
The member of staff at the counter was very helpful and waited behind a door with my order until I'd managed to convince my son to go and look elsewhere. The staff member double checked before he came out with my purchase and packed it quickly into the waiting bag.
He was very considerate and pleasant - thank you! I'm sorry, I should have checked your name badge so you'd get the credit!
Great selection of pretty much anything a child could want in store and online plus plenty of parking available.
J. M.
Good selection, staff get very stroppy with kids when they ride toys past the little area, wouldnt be so bad if the kids had more room to test out what they wanted rather than a tiny strip. Other toy shops ie toys r us never have a problem with kids giving toys a good test.
L. N.
Great place to get all the kids toys.

Great store in itself and has lots of stock but not the right kind because it only has a wide variety of the same things. Also, the store is a little ugly so that's what dragged it down to 4 stars
J. W.
Extremely helpful staff have been to the Colchester shop twice over the Christmas period and on both occasions the staff have been very helpful finding items for me and explaining things about toys to me. Would highly recommend 👍

Went there to buy a birthday present for my grandson, a bug in kitchen game , but came out with an hexbug nano v2 glow in the dark, with the help off a member of staff ,that explained everything about it and that you can add to it and sho us all the bits you can get to go with it , I'm really pleased with it think my grandson is going to love it (hopefully), customer service , really good , told me everything and sho me everything,
K. W.
Happy with the service today, click and collect as Covid shut it down
S. B.
Found what we wanted but the demo batteries didn't work, refused to give a set of replacement batteries. Shame its the sort of action that does not make you want to return.
D. T.
Was looking for a bike for my granddaughter a man was very helpful didn't catch his name but got a few down from rack for us to try and was full.of information about the bikes :)
D. S.
Good range if toys and products at good prices
D. G.
Had to wait about 10 minutes for someone to find a swing ball, ball and tether after which time he returned and located one above the shelving a few feet from where I'd been waiting. Not too bad an experience just a bit slow
R. B.
Good toy selections for boys and girls, however the customer service was very poor and unhelpful.
T. B.
My son loves this place
D. O.
Best toy shop
B. M.
Really helpful staff, go out of their way to make sure you find everything you require. Also hit some toys from view when paying so certain little ones can't see.
