We love Banjo Robinson here- normally give it 5 stars, but France’s sticker was too big for the space on the map, and my little guy was a bit bummed about that. He has autism, and fixated on needing t... See more

Lovely letters

This was a great letter addressed to children once a month from a cat travelling the world... It's a shame it is ending. My daughter used to look forward to her letter every month.

I want to cancel my subscription as my daughter was no longer interested. I contacted Banjo Robinson, they responded very quickly and sorted the issue. Thank you very much for an excellent customer service.

Great for learning

Our Daughter is a reluctant reader and writer. However, she will always write to Banjo. His letters make great talking points and she is excited to learn more about the country Banjo is visiting each month. She also enjoys using the stickers.

My son loves receiving banjo's adventures. Great value for money.
Amazing facts and the activities included are a great addition to the pack.
We both look forward to opening the envelope and doing the recipe from the place banjo visits.
Highly recommend this as it gives kids something to look forward to with the anticipation of learning something new.

Wouldn't recommend based on my experience. I purchased this on the 10th of October, didn't receive my welcome email or welcome pack. December now and the 1st country has arrived. Very disappointing, doesn't live up to what is expected.

Hi Jennifer,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and I want to start by apologising for the disappointment you’ve experienced starting your subscription.

Our subscription deliveries are always sent during the first week of each month. Although your first delivery was sent out during the first week of November, as per our schedule, it’s clear that something went wrong, and it did not reach you as expected. We are deeply sorry for this error and the inconvenience it caused.
As your pack was reported missing at the end of November, we restarted your subscription in December so you would receive your introductory pack and country pack. I’m glad to see your first delivery arrived in December. However, I completely understand how this experience fell short of your expectations, and we’re committed to ensuring your future deliveries are received correctly and with no further issue. Again we apologise for these errors that have disrupted your experience!

Please don’t hesitate to reach out if there’s anything else we can do to make up for this situation. Your satisfaction means the world to us, and we’d love the chance to restore your trust in us.

My daughter loves Banjo and learning the culture of different countries. It is quite interesting for her to find out facts about every country, food, animals,flag colours, she loves writing back to Banjo and leaving the letter under the sofa. I do believe she would prefer Banjo toy at some point.

We love Banjo

My son enjoyed the story line and stickers so much. He gravitated towards the characters and their passion for exploring different parts of the world. Banjo has inspired my child to remember the number of continents and their names. This creation has introduced the art of writing a letter, a phenomenon we seldom partake in since emails and social media came about. We are truly happy with this extraordinary experience.
