Major UK toy retailer introduces £2 fee for customers under new rule

Customers who miss the collection window will be charged £2, and Smyths says refunds on the remaining balance can take up to five working days.

  • Smyths Toys Superstores has introduced a £2 non-collection fee for click and collect orders not retrieved within two days of purchase.
  • The retailer operates more than 120 stores in Ireland and beyond, with more than 300 locations across Europe, necessitating streamlined inventory management.
  • Under the new policy, uncollected orders are cancelled automatically; however, Smyths specified the "non-collection fee does not apply to pre-orders or partial/short-picked orders."
  • Customers seeking refunds face delays, as the release of remaining funds can take up to five working days, outside Smyths' control.
  • Recently announcing plans for a new store in High Wycombe, Smyths remains the "fastest growing toy retailer" with continued expansion across its portfolio.
