Testimonials

We work hard to provide you with great service and give you an easy, no-hassle shopping experience…but we think our customers say it best for themselves.


The best customer service I have ever experienced! Even though the problem was completely my fault Cathy was understanding and extremely helpful. Very pleasant. You don't expect this kind of service in these times of “Press 1.” etc. I will definitely shop with Back To Basics again. Thank you Cathy!
Thank you for a most pleasant shopping experience. The past few years we have ordered some "classic games and toys" for our kids - no video games. I will relay my experience to my friends as well as will continue to shop with your company. Thank you from a very satisfied customer.
I just wanted to drop a short note saying thanks for your outstanding customer service. I e-mailed your company last week about a defective fun roller and by week's end there was a new fun roller in the mail. Wow! I was truly impressed. Thanks again.
Thank you so much for your immediate response. Your company gets an A+ for customer satisfaction.
You have a wonderful company and a great customer service dept that allows them to immediately take charge and do what is necessary. Kudos to you. Please forward this email to whomever is in charge of Back to Basics Toys. I received the best customer service ever. It is gratifying to know that Customer Service (and charitable donations) are alive and doing very well at Back to Basics.
Received the Deluxe Play Cube promptly. I just got back from my nephew's birthday and it was the hit of the party. It is so well built, it will last for generations ! Many thanks for making such a sturdy entertaining toy.
The ordering was fast and simple and great price. The shipping was exactly as expected and in the time frame even with the bad winter weather across the nation. I will purchase again from Back To Basic Toys. I just love it. Thanks so much for making life easier.
Extremely happy with the service and the shipping!!! Thanks so much
Just wanted to say Great site, Great toys, great navigation, great item #'s, great checkout!!! Happy Holidays!
Hello: Today, I had such a positive experience with your customer service department, that I feel compelled to write! We ordered a toy for our three year old and, shortly after its arrival, the toy broke. My son LOVED the toy and was very upset. I called your customer service department and Christie was so kind and professional! The toy was replaced with no additional charge. It's rare to find a company that stands by its products and so willingly and pleasantly corrects for any problems. I thank you -- and so does my son!
Not only did we get that order in time, but we love both the truck carrying case and the workbench. Thank you for carrying such classic, sturdy toys that both kids and parents love! Good work Back to Basic Toys! We love ya'!
I purchased the table top shuffleboard game at Christmas to give to my in-laws and I wanted to tell you how much our family loves it. Every family function since Christmas we have been playing it a lot. Everyone asks where we got it from and I recommend your company. When ordering I had a very nice sales person that I dealt with. The product is very well made also. Our family is BIG into games and this one is at the top of our list.
Thank you so very much for replacing my sons' video system. I was overwhelmed to find that 100% satisfaction actually means it. We will definitely be good ambassadors and future customers. Again, thank you!
I just want to thank you for your excellent customer service! Customer service like yours is unparalleled in my experience, and you can be sure that I will continue to both purchase items from Back to Basics and recommend your company to everyone I know. My daughter loves the marble run; it is a high-quality product from which she will get years of use! I thank you for being the high-caliber business that you are, and for offering unique and amazing merchandise. Congratulations on being a truly outstanding company!
I was surprised to get this email and want to tell you my experience with your company. I ordered a wagon for our grandson and it came with a damaged piece. That was the Tuesday before Christmas, I think. I called to let you know that we needed a new wagon by that Friday, as we were going to celebrate early Christmas at our house on Saturday. I think I called about 10 pm on Tuesday night. My husband laughed at me as I dialed, laughed for even thinking there would be someone on the phones at that time of night. Of course, there was. As I recall, I do not think I even had to wait very long for help. I explained the situation to the woman I spoke to, explaining that we needed the wagon by Friday. No matter what I said, her response was, Yes, I'm sure we can do that. She was very, very positive. I asked to have the new wagon on Friday, but it actually arrived on THURSDAY! In addition, I did not even think to ask for return postage on the damaged wagon, but she volunteered it to me. I have to say that I would order from you again in a heartbeat. Thank you so much.
Thank you. Too many companies today have forgotten what "customer service" really means. The only delay to my order was on a back ordered item, but I did receive it before the birthday for which it was intended. Again, I appreciate your commitment to service.
Hello Back to Basics Toys, I want to thank you for the efficient manner in which you processed my order. Thank You!! Also, I'd like to say how much I am enjoying the Melody Harp. It is amazing. Such fine quality and workmanship went into the production of that harp. I am going to tell everyone I know who has children, and/or grandchildren about your site. Again, thank you for your honest, reasonably priced quality items. Appreciation is pouring in...open your windows, quick!!

You guys are the best! I am so glad I found this site. I ordered the gourmet kitchen and it is incredible! It is sturdy and the best looking play kitchen around. Not to mention 2 day delivery! Thanks.

I have to thank you for bringing his childhood back to my 37 year old son ! When he opened his Evel Kneivel deluxe set, he called friends all over the country to have them listen to the sound of the launcher revving up. Each of the grown men cried "AWWWWW ! You got Evel Kneivel !" Fond memories were recaptured from San Franciso to Atlanta !! Thank you. Thank you.

Wow...it has been a long time since I have dealt with a company like this!! I recently sent an email describing a problem with a purchase...within a SHORT time, I had a replacement at my doorstep! Thank you sooooooo much...I have already sung your praises to several friends and family. Thanks again.....I love your toys!!

I accidentally came upon your website. I can't wait to start purchasing classic gifts for my grandson. Just wanted to thank you for offering the quality toys and games you offer and share with you how excited I am to find something of lasting value rather than the cheap plastic junk you find now. I'm forwarding this to the other grandparents and parents who I know will love this site as much as I.
I am writing to thank you for the excellent service that I have received from your company. For Christmas, we had bought my son the Face-Off Air Hockey item. I had ordered and received the item in October, but did not open up the box until Christmas Eve. My husband and I were very upset when we saw that the game was broken, since this was going to be the BIG gift from "Santa". We called you after the holiday and you quickly sent us a new game with no expectation of us having to send back the broken one. We received the game today and my son was so thrilled that "Santa" did not forget about him and sent him a new game!! You made his day!!
Thank you so much again! I will certainly buy from you again and tell my friends and family about your excellent gifts and service!
I want to thank you so much for your wonderful customer service. I called one week before Christmas and told you that two pieces from a nursery center I had ordered for my 2 year old daughter were missing. Since Christmas is so soon you are sending me a completely new nursery center with upgraded shipping to get it to me in time. I will highly recommend your company to everyone I know.
Just a brief note to tell you how thrilled I am with the three items I ordered as Christmas gifts (order #21018267). They are imaginative, very well made and sure to be a hit with the little ones. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I was so pleased with the Quality of the Curious George that I ordered. I found your service to be outstanding. I will tell everyone about the products you sell and your terrific service. I am so happy to have purchased a product that my son will love forever.
I can't thank you enough for your incredible order and delivery service. I ordered items on the 18th of December and crossed my fingers. I was hoping, but not expecting, to receive the items in time for Christmas. Thanks to your speedy process the toys arrived on Friday the 22nd, were wrapped today the 23rd and placed under my Christmas tree. THANK YOU.
Wow...it has been a long time since I have dealt with a company like this!! I recently sent an email describing a problem with a purchase...within a SHORT time, I had a replacement at my doorstep! Thank you sooooooo much...I have already sung your praises to several friends and family. Thanks again.....I love your toys!!
What a pleasant surprise!!!!! It's grand to know that you "stand-behind" your products with a 'no-hassle' guarantee just as you say. My gratitude. I will continue to shop Back TO Basics.....the toys tend to be great body and mind stimulators. Thanks.
