I bought a novelty mug through an Amazon.co.uk third party supplier but it had a few imperfections so I wanted to send it back. No big deal, didn't cost much more than a fiver anyway. After requesting a returns number I thought I'd check their feedback to see how prompt they are in general. As I started reading through the comments I realised that some people had made quite specific comments about products but that there were no links to the product they were talking about. This made for hilarious reading as I tried to imagine what the hell they were talking about, and so I saved the best ones for you all to read yourselves. These are the best ones from the last three months:
"The flashing rubber ducks I received were in excellent condition and arrived promptly."
"Very small tubes, poor quality dough."
"I accidentally ordered more fingerpuppets than I wanted. I asked about returning them, got a positive, fast answer - but decided to keep the puppets as they were so cute."
"Ball quite small size"
"Amazing that a simple product means no more sharpening and sore fingers. I'm about to order more and put them in party bags as useful presents !"
"Brilliant hammock,received this very quick"
"My young daughter was delighted with the fairy music box. Its a lovely box for her to keep her jewellery in, she loves the tune and, of course, there's a fairy!"
"Good seller, still awaiting my Ants though :("
"the hammock was slightly dirty and didnt come with hooks"
"Picture did not show that one of the 6 panels is covered in print which gets in the way of the reason i needed the beach ball."
"I ordered an item, it was delivered on time - what is there to "comment"? Thanks anyway!"
"Arrived in good time but batteries dead as someone had left the light on."
"My two boys enjoyed making these balls. If you forget to leave them in an airtight container they do lose their bounce."
"The bear was not the same as the item's picture. Technically, It was not exactly what I ordered but, fair enough."
"god god good"
"Grandson loves this cow won't go to bed without it. exelent worth every penny"
"lovely, soft and weighty. heavier than appears, but perfect for snuggling up to"
"i love my automatic pencil sharpener. It's better than my family."
"Brilliant toy. Granddaughter just loved this. I expected her to take a while to learn how to make this go..but she sat on it and off she went..no tuition at all. My two year old grandson tried to take this off her. Will certainly buy again for other grandkids. Great delivery and well packaged."
"My husband has a job requiring him to stand all day. When he gets home his feet are very cold. This is his second pair of Slippies. He adores them! Smell nice when new. Only replaced when they didn't smell so nice when heated up. About a year."
"Worked for about 5 seconds and then it died on me. i gave it 2 out of 5 as for those 5 seconds it looked ok. chucking it in the bin now."
"my friend loved the pig thankyou"
"Fab , my son loves it, don't get it wet tho!!!"
"It is too small for to hang up my pilates ball but I have found another use for it."
"this flying monkey is the funniest thing i have seen in ages. a must have for adults and children alike."
"the gift for my parents made them laugh and if you like chicken novelty's buy this"
"Egg laying keyring had broken and leaked"
"Really quick on delivery. the 'model' is great fun and takes a lot of abuse"
Grammar fail! - "excellent is arrived on time and it keep me warm all night i some one say what the best to buy i would say this item thanks"
"The packaging inside the case was broken into pieces but the boules were fine."
"Beans sleep allot"
A very different version of Tiny Tears? - "The cutest toy i've ever seen! came so quick too, Brill."
"Much needed accompianment to the gun"
"Chose free delivery then was shocked to see 9.25 was charged! Item arrived without the poo bag dispenser, contacted seller and they said they would get it to me before Xmas, still have not received it!"
"ITEM ORDERED SATURDAY EVENING AND ARRIVED ON THE TUESDAY BEFORE CHRISTMAS, FANTASTIC. WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE TO HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CHOOSE WHICH COLOUR WE WANTED BUT APPART FROM THAT NO COMPLAINTS AT ALL AS IT WORKS JUST FINE. WAS DAMP AFTER FIRST USE BUT FINE AFTER THAT. WAS EXPECTING THIS ANYWAY AS I HAVE USED ONE OF THESE BEFORE."
"It's probably my fault but I expected the jumping beans I used to get when I was a little girl. These look like pills"
"I liked it... might be a bit much for my 10 year old daughter though"
"This is a lovely toy/present for cat lovers who can't have a real cat in their home. They are so lifelike. When people first come into their house they think it is a real cat. "
Someone's been watching too much Snatch - "Aerobie Dogobie is an awful product, I used the other aerobie with the dog for months without damage, this one made for dogs is already in the bin as the dogs teeth went through it like butter."
"these are so much fun and look so real thanks"
"Great product but listed as "giant" but wasn't. Seller offered a return with no quibbles, just one of those things. No good as a computer chair at all except for a small child. "
"the egg light was the wrong light and it did not work "
"Good little trike, and prompt arrival in good condition, but assembly took hours of frustration, and is not yet complete... Instructions could be clearer and in bigger print! "
"I think the world would be a better place if we each had one of these giant ducks. Top stuff."
"I can't get it to work on any TV that I own."
"I was happy with this item and the children were entralled watching it go especially in the darkness. It really does appear to glide. Thanks."
"Great novelty present for any pigeon fancier. Excellent wee extra for my Dads 70th birthday. Thank you for the prompt delivery."
