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 placement.
  • The retailer operates more than 120 stores in Ireland and beyond, with more than 300 locations across Europe, requiring inventory management systems.
  • Under these new terms, uncollected orders are automatically cancelled; Smyths Toys specified the "non-collection fee does not apply to pre-orders or partial/short-picked orders."
  • Customers awaiting refunds should note the release of remaining funds can take up to five working days, a process outside Smyths Toys's control.
  • Despite operational shifts, Smyths Toys recently announced plans for a new High Wycombe store while maintaining status as the "fastest growing toy retailer.
