Would be very wary of using this company again! Seems like great prices until they send you the wrong product and offer nothing in the way of compensation! I ordered a Joie car seat from them and they sent a cheaper model to what I had ordered. I understand that mistakes can happen (Human error,) however they are unwilling to offer any compensation for the error. Here's why I am annoyed. I ordered the product on 27th April with next day delivery, as we had planned to use it for our trip away 2 days later. I spent all day waiting to hear about delivery only for it to turn up a day later on the 29th. After notifying them of the error, they said someone would ring me in the morning. Again I waited all day for a phone call till eventually at 12:30 someone got in contact with me. You cannot ring them and they discourage you to keep on emailing them as it adds to there work load. Sorry about that, I've just spent hours and hours waiting for you to contact me! I was told that the earliest they could collect the item was 4 days later?? Apparently DPD don't collect items the next day (Saturday) or on Sunday or bank holidays. So they are collecting the item a week after I ordered it. She ended the conversation in a very sarcastic way when I mentioned making a complaint etc, not very professional. They cannot deliver the new item when collecting the other one as they are not insured to do that! I repeatedly asked about compensation, the least they could of done was offer 10% off my next order. Stupid company policy. Own your mistakes and make amends. Surely customers won't want to order again if after mistakes like this. I for sure will not be doing! Someone from the complaints company rang me back and again I was surprised that despite apologising there was no offer for compensation. Why go to the effort of ringing me back if you cannot even offer any compensation. You have the next week for us as we do not have a car seat to use.

Disgusting customer service! Ordered a pram payed for next day delivery on Sunday! They told me DPD had lost it although DPD told me they never collected it from them! 4 days later refused a refund until I made a formal complaint and as if by magic it appeared back at their hub from DPD!! Joke of a company and not even an apology for their mistakes and poor service. AVOID

AVOID!!! Appalling quality items received in a damaged box. Moses basket arrived damaged also - snapped and sharp in places - clearly sent like this, not damaged in transit, as a the snapped bits were painted over! Not fit for purpose and extremely poorly made. Also, the cellular blankets I ordered are absolutely nothing like the photos online - definitely not almost £30 RRP!!! Requested to return the items via DPD on day received (as they state as an option in their returns policy), although this is now becoming an issue. I’m receiving automated responses and unnecessary delays in accepting my item. They also say they have not received my photo evidence of damage - I have read they have done this to previous customers too. AVOID!!!!

There prices are fantastic, after that what a mess. i have been trying to return faulty goods with them for 5 weeks. had to ring up on hold for over an over, sorted in 5 seconds, after taking further advise, on the way they run there business. They are now collecting, and hopefully get my money back. Terrible will never use again.

I don’t even want to give this shocking company one star! They are Beyond shocking. I gave this company 4 chances to correct there mistake by delivering a faulty part for my daughters cot 4 times later damaged goods came as replacements as well as completely wrong replacements. They then wouldn’t even give me a partial refund or collect the faulty cot for a full refund. I’m now over £200 out of pocket and have to purchase a cot else where as the one they delivered is not safe for my baby!!!! SHOCKING SERVICE!!!! I get better service from the pound shop!!!

We ordered many items from O4B to use for our first born son. We ordered a particular pram that was going to make going for a walk by myself a lot easier to manage, especially during lockdown and being stuck on my own. The pram was said to have been dispatched at the start start of February this year. It didnt turn up. They suggested that DPD had lost it, they said they'd chase it up...no luck. They said they'd dispatch another and we queried whether we'd get one because stock was flying out again. We were reassured that they had hundreds in stock so would be fine. No news, no updates at all.....look on website and they are all out of .stock again. Customer service was not reachable twice in a row due to "staff training". It took me to contact someone who works in a showroom on Instagram to get someone from customer services to contact us ASAP. They said they were changing over staff so it didnt get actioned.....no offer of compensation or vouchers, just "oh, do you want a refund?" That is no way to carry out customer service to a very annoyed and frustrated customer. They said we can "write a letter of complaint if you want but it'll just come to me anyway". Absolutely disgusting attitude and no way of apologising for waiting 7 weeks for a pram to use! I will not be recommending this company to anyone and will be sure to disuade anyone from buying from them. Their prices may be cheaper but their service is weak and they do not seem to see customer relations as a priority. Disappointing experience when it is not what you want to be spending your time dealing with as a first time mum in lockdown.

I wish I could give no stars this company is absolutely awful! This is not an exaggeration it is literally the worst online company I’ve ever brought from the customer services are so rude.. Products are poor and if there is any kind of issue.. faulty or damaged product they will not give you your money back.. that’s if you can get through to their customer service.. avoid

If I could give zero stars I would! I also wish I would have read the reviews before purchasing. 1.4 stars overall out of 5 speaks volumes!! Customer service is absolutely appalling. No empathy whatsoever! Every single person I have spoken to have spoken over me; My mental health has been triggered on numerous occasions due to this. I placed an order with this company hoping to receive a car seat for my baby that is due to be delivered any time. After placing the order, I realised the car seat I purchased was not suitable for my vehicle. I refused delivery with dpd for this reason. Dpd then proceeded to take a picture of me refusing the delivery with my door ajar stating the item was delivered. When I received this decieptful email from DPD I contacted online for baby straight away. The parcel was not on my doorstep any longer and I wondered if the courier had in fact taken it as I had asked. Since this issue arose I have been dealt with so disgustingly by this company. They have no interest in helping me. Only to say the issue has nothing to do with them and that they only deal with ‘facts’. And the picture of me refusing delivery is evidence it was received. DPD themselves, however agree that the picture is not proof of delivery. There own proof of delivery on their website states: “we won’t ask you to sign for your parcel, we will take a photo of it instead in your open doorway as proof it’s been delivered” I have tried to liaise with this company and resolve my issue. I have cried and explained my experience and worries. To which most people would be understanding and display a level of empathy! I have spoken to members of the team, a ‘general manager’ and also a ‘legal representative’ apparently. All of which have poor customer service skills and a vile attitude. They have now stated that they will not be answering any calls from myself anymore as I have contacted them so much. What do they expect?! I am short £159, without my goods, due to give birth without a car seat! And have been advised by both DPD and the police to contact them to update them of what I know now and encourage them to reopen an investigation Quite possibly the worst company I have EVER come across. And to think they are dealing with expectant stressed and hormonal mothers potentially AVOID!!!!!!!!’n

Online 4 baby mattress 1400 by 700 do not buy this item it’s completely different item than pictured advertised item send is of such appalling quality and would fail any quality control the cover papery thin and Far too big and baggy for actual mattress, the mattress is only 1340mm long and the shambolic way the layers of foam have been put Together, there is a gap at the top and bottom of cot and there is a gap on the side of about 100 mm to as well. this item is a dangerous product. I’ve written to trading standards and encourage every one in receipt of this item to do the same before a baby is injured or worse

Please do not use this company!!!!! Purchased 2 faulty products, one of which they are refusing to refund even tho it is faulty. The second, only offering a partial refund. Shocking customer service, they are impossible to deal with. I have never known anything like it, ever! 6 weeks of trying to deal with this. We have been left with no choice but to buy another travel system, while they drag there heels hoping we will give in.

I strongly urge anyone considering purchasing a 4Baby Little Acorn crib not to do so. My son has twice woken with large dents in his head due to the round bars and, of course, we are not able to put bumpers on the cot as Lullaby Trust strongly advises against doing so. I asked for a straight swap for something of the same value with flat slats and was rudely refused. It's upsetting as I've been using this company for almost a year. I will not be using it again.

I ordered a Joie Tourist stroller from Online4Baby because they were cheaper than their competitors and my maternity pay has sadly come to an end. Initially I was quite impressed, ordering was easy, the delivery was prompt, product looked ok upon first inspection so I couldn’t wait to test it out with my 15 month old. I decided to take it out at nap time, reclined the seat and it worked a charm. My daughter fell into a lovely dreamy sleep and we had a lovely walk - that is until she woke up and wanted to sit up. I tried to put the seat upright however pushing it as far as it would go it was still considerably reclined. Pair this situation with a curious, headstrong toddler and you have a disaster! When we got home, I tried once more to push the seat into an upright position with no success. I didn’t think it was unreasonable to expect that a modern day stroller should be capable of this so I assumed it was faulty and emailed the customer service team. The initial response was in good time, the representative asked for images and a video to demonstrate the issue I was having to enable them to investigate further. I replied with the requested items and waited a further 9 days for a response before sending another email to follow up. They replied to inform me that someone would be in touch within 24-48 hours to discuss my query. Someone claiming to be a manager called me the next day. She said that they had looked at the information I had presented and there was nothing wrong with the stroller, the product was designed this way and isn’t supposed to sit upright. She also said I should have checked it sat upright before I took it outside. Now call me a crazy person but to assume a stroller sits up would be like assuming it had wheels - One would just expect that surely?! I explained that this rendered the product unfit for purpose. She said that it was my own personal opinion, some would not see this as an issue and and they would not be assisting any further. I tried to further question how they had come to this conclusion about the strollers design and she was kept repeating the same phrase “I cannot assist you any further” like a robot, suggesting she wasn’t actually listening to me and wasn’t interested in explaining herself to me. I asked to speak to someone else to which she responded “There is no one else, I’m the manager”. I’ve worked in customer service myself for most of my adult life so I know that there is always someone else...... she denied that there was and said we were going around in circles and she wouldn’t be assisting further. I asked her if she had children herself and if she could relate, at which point she said she did, that I was rude and that she was ending the call. I told her I wasn’t finished discussing my query, she told me to put a complaint in writing. Unsurprisingly and rudely, she hung up. Her manner was extremely unbothered and patronising. It was almost as though she was quite happy that my written complaint was not not going to be taken seriously which didn’t give me much confidence in the management team but all the same, I did as she abruptly told me and I wrote a complaint and requested that someone reasonable contact me. The very same day, the general manager called me back but sadly I missed it. He left a voicemail but by the time I got to my phone their lines were closed. He tried again the next day which sort of gave me the idea that he was actually keen to resolve my query but I missed that call too. I asked my husband to call him back when their lines opened, just for my own peace of mind that I am not a rude, confused alien from outer space, expecting too much from a £100 stroller and the customer service team. He has just got off the phone and confirmed my suspicions that I am not. He said pretty much exactly the same as the previous “manager” did and that they would not be assisting further. My husband asked if they would be continuing selling products which are unfit for use and he responded “I’d appreciate it if you didn’t speak of our products in this manner” suggesting that they would be continuing to sell this and he was backing it up. He basically told my husband no refund, no exchange, no goodwill gesture and to “have a nice day now” so we can see where the staff get their unhelpful and patronising manner from. Advice to potential customers: Avoid like the plague. Buy cheap, buy twice and waste your time and energy trying to resolve the situation. Advice to Online4Baby: Check the products you’re selling are not in fact junk and perhaps enrol on a communications seminar when this lockdown is over to learn how to properly address the customers that have so far kept you in business. “Have a nice day” does not equal customer service.

After reading some of the reviews on here about online4baby I've actually come to a conclusion a lot of the online4babies goods are other companies returns damaged goods if the customer is lucky they will get a brand new items. This is the reason why a lot of us customers are complaining about online4baby. And the staff I've definitely programme not to give refunds once they got your money. This is the reason the team managers are so rude to customers.

Got my pushchair back from the manufacturers companies name online4baby I have not opened the box it's gone straight into my garden shed to be binned. The manufacturers has obviously tested this pushchair without a toddler this pushchair cannot take a weight of a toddler which is ridiculous my toddler is only 15 months old and he was born 3 months premature so he's a small baby. When my baby is in the pushchair I'm pushing it right it's going left when I try and release the brakes it's literally impossible to release the brakes after only 5 weeks rain covers rip, wheels are rusty, screw has come off bar. I emailed the manufacturers of HAUCK the manufacturers also needs to be named and shamed my son £2 gym shoes has lasted longer then HAUCK pushchair Ladies and gentlemen you've been warned HAUCK pushchair from online for babies should not pass inspection to be sold to the public. Online4babies has tried their best to get my review taken off claiming I'm not a genuine customer. Don't be fooled by all the positive reviews online4babies try to get all the negative reviews off the websites clever company you will not take my reviews off the websites There's a team leader call Jody very rude I'm surprised she's the team leader she needs to be demoted she does not know how to talk to a customer she was trying to find any excuse to put the phone down on me her favourite words refund not an option when talking to Jody on the phone never got no apology. Will never shop on line4babies again I put it down to experience. I bought myself and lovely pushchair £175 mamas and papas from Argos with help from my family members.

DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE** I had ordered a pram about a month ago, got estimated delivery, so arranged time off so I would be home for the delivery. Then they changed my delivery date ( without notifying me) so again, arranged time off again. They email me my ON the day of delivery to say that delivery has been changed yet again to a MONTH later!! What poor communication and customer service is this? I emailed back, stating how I was unhappy with the changed delivery date twice, and expressed I'm now left without a pram for a month. To receive an email back just saying "please accept our apology". There was no understanding, no apology for not actually letting me know about the first change of delivery or the second being on the day. I even said how I had rearranged work. To just be told to "accept their apology" I'm absolutely disgusted in the service, no communication and yet I'm still left here without a pram! Do not buy from here, unless you're willing to accept loss.

I should have read the reviews before ordering from online 4 babies my pushchairs only 5 weeks old I have problems with the brakes and problem with a wheel . The wheel is rusty in only 5 weeks and it's making a terrible noise . Was out shopping with my baby I could not release the brakes the pram would not move I had to literally drag the pushchair back home thank god passerby help me. I will be taking this to trading standards if I do not get a full refund should be getting a call on the 14/12/20. Online baby can't get away with sending out faulty goods.
