Welcome to our collector’s hub! Below you’ll find answers to the most common questions about our premium collectibles, shipping policies, and more. We’ve designed this FAQ with the same care we put into selecting every item in our collection.

About Our Store

What kind of collectibles does Child Toy Store specialise in?
We cater to discerning collectors with our curated selection of premium action figures and collectibles from franchises including:
  • Marvel and DC Universe (including McFarlane editions)
  • Vintage and retro collections
  • Anime and gaming franchises (Star Wars, Dungeons & Dragons)
  • Horror and cult classics (Alien, Bendyfigs, Ghostbusters)
  • High-end collectibles (Hot Toys/Sideshow 1/6th scale)
Our inventory focuses on limited edition, deluxe class, and hard-to-find collector’s items that appreciate in value.

Product Questions

Are the items sold as mint condition collectibles?
Absolutely! We treat every item with the reverence it deserves. All collectibles are:
  • Sourced directly from manufacturers or trusted distributors
  • Stored in climate-controlled conditions
  • Shipped in collector-grade packaging with original packaging included
  • Handled exclusively by our team of collector-experts
Do you sell bootleg or counterfeit items?
Never. Child Toy Store deals exclusively in 100% authentic, licensed collectibles. We maintain relationships with all major manufacturers and carefully vet every item in our inventory.

Shipping & Delivery

What shipping options are available?
We offer two premium shipping methods tailored for collectors:
  1. Standard Shipping (£12.95): DHL/FedEx tracked service (10-15 days) – ideal for time-sensitive or high-value items
  2. Free Shipping: EMS service (15-25 days) for orders over £50 – perfect for bulk purchases

Pro Tip: For delicate or rare collectibles, we strongly recommend our Standard Shipping for faster transit and premium handling.

Why are some Asian and remote areas excluded from shipping?
Due to inconsistent delivery networks and customs challenges in certain regions, we’ve temporarily restricted shipping to ensure every collectible reaches its destination in perfect condition. We’re continuously evaluating new shipping partners to expand our service area.

Payments & Security

What payment methods do you accept?
We accept all major collector-friendly payment options:
  • Visa, MasterCard, JCB
  • PayPal (ideal for international collectors)
All transactions are processed through PCI-DSS compliant systems with 256-bit encryption.
Will I be charged customs fees?
While we handle all export documentation, any import duties or taxes are the responsibility of the recipient. These vary by country – we recommend checking with your local customs office for estimates before ordering.

Returns & Exchanges

What’s your return policy?
We offer a 15-day return window from the delivery date for:
  • Damaged items (must report within 48 hours of delivery)
  • Incorrect shipments
All returns must be in original, unopened collector’s condition with all packaging intact. Contact [email protected] to initiate a return.
Can I exchange a collectible for a different version?
Due to the limited nature of our inventory, exchanges are handled on a case-by-case basis. We’ll do our best to accommodate requests when possible, especially for loyal customers.

Account & Orders

How do I track my order?
You’ll receive tracking information via email once your order is dispatched. Both our shipping methods include full tracking so you can follow your collectible’s journey from our shelves to your display case!
Can I cancel or modify an order?
Orders can typically be modified or cancelled within 2 hours of placement (before processing begins). After this window, please contact us immediately at [email protected] – we’ll make every effort to accommodate your request.
Do you offer a loyalty program for frequent collectors?
Yes! Our most dedicated collectors receive:
  • Early access to limited editions
  • Exclusive pre-order opportunities
  • Personalised collection consultations
