Review summary

Based on reviews, created with AI

Reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers appreciate the competitive prices and the wide selection of products, including items that are hard to find elsewhere. Consumers consistently praise the fast delivery processing and the excellent condition in which the items arrive, often highlighting the quality of the packaging. People also value the ability to purchase from a large range without worrying about the order arriving. However, some reviewers have reported issues with response times and customer service, particularly when dealing with defective or damaged items. A few customers have mentioned delays in delivery, even when paying for expedited shipping. While many appreciate the prices, some feel the packaging could be improved, especially considering the shipping fee.

My order came very quick with good communication. Very happy with the product itself. Box fresh and packaged very well to avoid damage as it was a collectors item. Will use this company again.

Paid for next day delivery, 4 days later still not arrived. I expect better. It’s also incredibly unorthodox to ask for a TIP at checkout, this is the UK, we don’t play that way. Do better

great prices for kits and pickup is good for me. It would be better if ready to pickup was actually 1-2 days though. It took around 4 days

No response to 4 contact forms, email or WhatsApp. Impossible to reach them

I entered Apple ID into a device and I paid with that. Without any information on billing or shipping address being entered or checked before purchase. It went through. When I got the invoice, I realised it has picked up some of address of mine for both the billing and shipping address. A house we moved from last year.
I sent multiple messages through your contact form. Emailed you and also messaged on WhatsApp asking for it to be shipped to the correct address. I contacted my bank and Apple asking how the payment was approved with a wrong billing address, but to no avail. The item was shipped to my old address despite 4 different contact forms, an email and WhatsApp messages to Kidultiverse. I only got auto replies this week, after the item was delivered to the wrong address. Where the current tenants opened the item. I had to ask one of my old neighbours to run over and get the item and we don’t know how to get it from there to our current address as we moved towns.

Good price. Quick shipment. But bad to almost non-existent service and non-responsive to messages.

Good price and shipping was quick. But the box came damaged outside and in. The Gunpla box inside was damaged and torn. There was no padding despite the shipping fee. Sent a couple of messages via different channels. No reply for more than a month. The first reply that came after that claimed that the issue was settled, which wasn't the case. I replied again, and then waited for another month (so it's >2 months by now) telling me that it's Royal Mail's issue. The seller should be responsible if things dont turn out right and you dont expect the buyer to contact the delivery company on your behalf. I'm not sure if I'll buy from this shop again, although the prices are good, but only good if the goods turn out right and the seller is responsive to messages and not having to wait for months and end up not getting anywhere.

Great shop !

Great products, competitive prices, their Manchester store is crammed packed with Gundam and Gundam related merchandise. Good social media updates when new stock is due or has been delivered. They also offer a loyalty scheme and they are always very helpful, knowledgeable and polite in the store.

Non-existent customer service...

Non-existent customer service...

Applied for a refund within the window and as per the Terms & Conditions - I wrote via email to the order confirmation, as well as the online form on their website. It has not been responded to as at the time of writing, and I am left with a product I do not want. Their phone system is supposedly being upgraded, and is conveniently offline and has been for many weeks.

In all fairness, they dispatched the item fairly quickly. However, do not expect any after care whatsoever. If the item is damaged in transit or pre-packing, good luck getting your money back!

Surprising

First order came a day early, was packaged super well, plus the figure and box were new and felt very good. 10/10. Will order again. Thank you.

First time ordering after comparing prices with other popular online retailers. If you pick your items, right, you'll end up saving some dough. Delivery processing was fast, items arrived as described, and well packaged. Now listed among my top model kit retailers.
