I ordered a personalised blanket for our daughters first mothers day with her baby who was born 10 weeks early and in NICU the wording was not spelt correctly i was told in my response " we all make human mistakes " which yes we are all human but that response was darn right rude and condescending , I received the correct spelling on a new blanket too late to gift on mothers day with no compensation offered from such a big company I am very disappointed as this is our first grandchild and was looking forward to buying My First year personalised goods but the response I received has upset me and I am not begging for compensation I can afford to buy my grandson whatever It was the principal of the matter

Hi, we’re truly sorry to hear about your experience, especially given how meaningful this gift was meant to be. We completely understand how important the occasion is, and we’re very sorry that the wording error and the delay meant it couldn’t be gifted on Mother’s Day as intended. We’re also sorry that our previous response came across as dismissive. That certainly wasn’t our intention, and we appreciate you highlighting how it made you feel. Your feedback has been shared with the relevant team, so this can be addressed properly. We’re glad a replacement was sent, but we understand this doesn’t make up for the disappointment caused. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. Best regards, Aleksandra, Management Team, My 1st Years

I ordered a personalised backpack for my daughter and was really looking forward to it arriving. Unfortunately, when it did, the patterned fabric sat behind her name so heavily that it was very difficult to read the personalisation. I contacted customer service and was initially told there wasn’t anything they could do, which was disappointing. To their credit, they later agreed to send a replacement. However, the second backpack arrived with the same issue — and the name was even harder to read than on the original. I appreciate that they eventually tried to put things right, but the overall experience and final result were disappointing, especially for a personalised item that was meant to be special.

Hi, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m very sorry to hear that the personalisation on the backpack was difficult to read and that the replacement did not resolve the issue. I completely understand how disappointing this must have been, especially as personalised items are meant to feel extra special. Some designs can make the personalisation appear less clear depending on how the name sits against the patterned fabric, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Your feedback is very valuable and I will be sure to pass it on to our product team so they can review the design and consider improvements. Best regards, Aleksandra, Management Team, My 1st Years

My order was produced incorrectly, and I had to fight to have it rectified. I now do have the correct item - thank you - but the process of arranging this was fraught. The customer suport was sadly lacking, unhelpful, and ill-informed.

I placed an order on the website for two items totalling £75.00, I did not receive a confirmation. Contacted My 1st Years customer service, they hadn't received the order, one of the items now out of stock, the other still available to order but they refused to honour the discount. Customer service was dreadful, weren't able to give a date for new stock because 'that department' were not answering! I have used My 1st Years before and the product was good, however as customer service is so poor I wont be ordering again.

Unfortunately the gift i ordered didnt arrive by the advertised date- it was only sent on the date it was due to arrive meaning I was unable to gift it. I contacted customer services who were unhelpful surrounding the matter and was unable to offer any resolution

I never received what was meant to be my son’s first nursery bag. After a lot of back and forth there was no resolution, so I have just sent the company money to receive nothing.

It took 3 orders to get the product 'right' Order 1- embroidery stitched wonky, partially on seam. Order 2- design incorrect Order 3- correct, then started to fall apart after 1st use. Each time CS made me return yhe bag before they would resend, I also didn't get an apology or any kind of care in the responses from customer services until I escalated this. Currently sent in a complaint on faulty bag 3. I don't hold out any hope of a decent resolution.

Hi, we are truly sorry to read about your experience and especially that it took three attempts to get the correct product, only for it to then develop a fault after first use. That is absolutely not acceptable and we completely understand why this has left you feeling frustrated and let down. We are also very sorry that you felt the service you received along the way lacked care and apology. That is not how we aim to support our customers, and we sincerely apologise for that as well. Your feedback has now been passed to the relevant internal teams and to our supplier so that this can be properly reviewed and improvements can be made to prevent this from happening again. We have also now emailed you directly with a proposed resolution, and we genuinely hope this will go some way towards making this right for you. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. While we are very sorry it happened, we do appreciate the opportunity to learn from it and improve.

They take no responsibility for late orders or the fact that they can’t fulfill an order. Ordered a robe full price and asked because they have taken 10 days to sort to upgrade shipping for £2 and there not willing to do this is very poor . Customer service really poor and don’t care
