I was on their website before Christmas trying to make a purchase and was having some difficulty. I emailed them and received a very swift and very helpful response. Because of this, I was able to go directly to their warehouse, purchase what I wanted and make my nephew very happy for Christmas! Very pleased with the helpfulness and politeness of customer service and will definitely be dealing with them in the future! Also, for those of you who watch their You Tube videos, they do tours!

Aw man, I remember when I was young and reviewed this place! My putty is in good shape! Though really worked out!
Hey Jamie, Hope you and the crew are doing well!
Now your response won t make any sense! That s fine.
Welp! All I can say it s a great company with a amazing sense of humor, And not a cash grab with cheap plastic mechanics! (Mostly, Sorry)

We had a great experience! It was so great to see behind the scenes. We watch the videos all of the time and it was awesome to see where they are filmed! Eric was great as a tour guide...our kids love him! We came to Missouri specifically to take the tour and it was well worth the drive! Thanks for the great time!

If you have an issue they will take care of it. So if this was a product review it would be a different rating of one star but the customer service was excellent. I had a problem with a defective product and got a replacement. The next one came in and it was defective. At that point I asked for a return/refund and it was prompt and easy. No hassle, no run around. The other items in my order were great and my daughter loved them. No one can stop all issues from happening but when brought to their attention they took care of it quickly. I trust them and would order from them again.

Vat19 is a Terrible Company. BUY from Amazon - it's CHEAPER. Arrives in 2 days. FREE returns.

I learned about this site from my kids, who love their videos. Vat19 products give my kids a 5 minute excitement rush. Usually I wouldn't waste my money on these types of useless products, but given covid 19, decided it's worth it to see them excited.

WHAT HAPPENED
I was a repeat customer of Vat19 (BUT now will never purchase from them again). I bought a $100 Mystery Box, the most expensive and largest box of assorted stuff. A month later, I wrote to Vat19 customer service to make sure that if I ordered a SECOND Mystery Box, it would have different contents. They assured me they change out box contents frequently and each build is "unique". When the box FINALLY arrives 2 Weeks later, it arrives with EXACTLY the same contents as the first box I ordered. You can imagine how my kids' faces went from super excited to. Is this some kind of joke? They were obviously deflated and upset.

I contacted customer service to tell them they sent me the Identical box and would like a refund. They first had the audacity to state I could only return non food items (this means I would essentially lose $50+ of the $100). After a lot of back and forth with the customer service manager Rick Bouxsein and the fact that I had written proof customer service said the box contents would be different, he finally said he would make an "exception" and allow me a refund BUT I had to pay the Return Shipping... WOW, what a great result I said sarcastically to myself. This was OBVIOUSLY not my fault but I had no more energy to keep going. I had lost so much energy when the customer service manager would not reply to my emails and I had constantly chase him up by remembering to email him again to follow up.

Once I mailed back the box, at my own expense, the owner, Alison Salvatori, admitted to the mistake and said "We are simply not able to offer free return shipping due to constantly increasing shipping costs." Basically saying that they want to find ways to gouge the customer for their mistakes to protect their profits.

Anyways, I'm out of pocket time and money. My kids were unhappy. And then I came up with an idea.

WHY AMAZON IS WAYYYY BETTER AND HOW I COULD EASILY CREATE MY OWN MYSTERY BOX. WHY DO THIS THROUGH AMAZON?
1) If you search "Vat19" in Amazon, you will see they carry identical products. But also show you reviews of real customers and what their experience was with the item
2) Lower prices. For some of the items, Vat19 can cost DOUBLE what Amazon charges. See photo attached.
3) 2 Day Delivery. Yes! You don't have to wait 2 weeks.
4) Free Returns. You just print a shipping label and drop it in the mailbox. Don't even have to provide a reason.
5) Save time. You don't have to deal with suboptimal "customer service".

So I made my own Mystery Box and named it "Kids19". It's a mystery box of incredible stuff I got from amazon and then threw it into it's own box so it has the same experience for the kids. I even could tailor items so they are directly relevant to their ages.

Do yourself a favor. Pay less, get it faster, save time, and return it if it's not what you expected by going to Amazon. Hands down best online ecommerce company!

You took the money for TWO Mysterious Boxes.

The first wasn't delivered because of a SINGLE letter wrong in the address and you still haven't refunded that even though DHL have notified that it's been returned to you.

The second you took payment for and yet claim to NOT to have an order.

I've now been on hold for 25 minutes from Australia and you won't/can't answer my call.

I've been in constant contact with your 'customer contact center'.

These are gifts for an 11 year old child.

He birthday was November 17th.
