On hearing that E-Toys was withdrawing from the UK and having a massive closing down sale, I decided to get my order in as quickly as I could. I surfed around the site and managed to find some bargains and a few birthday pressies for my daughters. I placed the order with fingers crossed, because you never really know whether you'll get the goods under these circumstances and you do hear awful stories of companies who withdraw and leave customers high and dry. Well, I received one eamil to say one item I'd ordered was sadly unavailable and a day later another email to state the delivery times were out because of the inudated dispatch company. ...  Read the complete review

www.etoys.co.uk has now closed down. In its final death throws, it had a sale, where to start with everything was reduced by 50%. To start with there was a pretty wide selection of stuff available. Then a couple of weeks later, they reduced the price of everything by another 50%, although by this time there wasn't much choice left. I made three orders in this time. The time to delivery got longer each time, but when they did arrive, I didn't have a problem. If etoys.co.uk had still been going the next time I needed to buy some toys, then I might have used them, although not at their full prices unless I was in a real hurry. To be bothered ...  Read the complete review

Toy shopping heaven - but now they've gone! I've bought numerous toys from etoys web site and have never had a complaint about them. To my horror I've found they've ceased trading as of the 19th January 2001. Horror - they were so reasonably priced and saved a fortune over the Christmas period for friends and family alike. Their recent sale was great as they knocked upto 75% of the prices. Brio items were vastly reduced and has filled up my sons box quite quickly and cheaply. One thing this has taught me is to support these sites, if they're good, to ensure they continue trading. They will be sadly missed! ...  Read the complete review

Etoys supply a wide range of toys for all age groups and all tastes. All their prices seem to be very competitive. Their site is a model of how a shopping website should be laid out. Everything is neatly grouped together, so if you're searching for Tweenies, Barbie, Action Man etc all the products for that particular range are shown. Click on the thumbnail to enlarge the photo, there's a description of the item and also whether it's in stock. A great feature for those out of stock is email notification, submit your email & they'll tell you when it's available. If you're buying for someone else's child and aren't sure ...  Read the complete review

This is a great site, easy to navigate, divided into any categories you could think of and also has a search option as well. You can search by brand, type, character - you name it, and it not only has toys, but books and software too. There is informative product descriptions , pictures and links to similar items. Ordering is simple, secure and if you register they keep your details. Living in the Highlands I often experience delivery difficulties and extra charges but eToys delivered within a couple of days, and also kept in touch via your order status. The only thing I would watch out for is that you pay postage per item, so its not really worth adding ...  Read the complete review
