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.
