Honestly saying, cannot be happier with the product and service. Customer service deserves 5 stars for doing a great job. Delivery time was but of pain as it stuck at the same hub for more than 15 day... See more

I ordered a Grumpy Octopus back in March for my wife, which sadly never arrived - couriers fault not the company. After realising it wasn't going to come I reached out to the team at Grumpy Oct... See more

Love this collection

These friends are So adorable, well made, and very cuddly. I'm planning on purchasing the entire collection. I'm very excited to read the book too. I've purchased a T-shirt for my daughters Easter basket that I know she will wear every day

The grumpiest and the cutiest octopuses ever!

I've ordered Grumpy Baby Octopus and received it within 10 days, despite of the approaching Christmas. The toy is awesome, probably the funniest I've ever seen, quality without any complaints.

However shopping experience can be improved: there is no way no see or charge your data after you place an order. But considering great support service this should not be a problem.

Great customer service!

I ordered several items. The grumpy sloth was a huge hit. The grumpy octopus as well. I have my family hooked on these cuties. I also love my shirt too. I received a size that was too big. I contacted the company and they immediately sent me the correct size. I was told I didn't need to return the previous wrong size. So nice!

Great experience

I am really excited. The product (grumpy octopus) is really great. Well made and it looks like the photos. Now to customer service: If I could, I would give it 10 stars. Unfortunately my first order was lost in the mail. I promptly received a reply to my email and a replacement was sent immediately. Even though I live in Germany, shipping was very fast. I will order here again and can fully recommend it.

GREAT COMPANY and even CUTER PRODUCTS

I foolishly typed in the wrong zip code for my first order and lost my grump in the mail!! They handled it so quickly and swiftly with absolutely no hassle to me and I am 100% planning to have a long standing relationship with this company. Everything came without damage and way cuter than anticipated. They even sent a follow up email to ensure the safe arrival. GREAT COMPANY and even CUTER PRODUCTS.

Understanding and helpful

I had a horrible experience with Fed ex, but they were very calm and and understanding of the situation and sent me a replacement ASAP. They are great and I was satisfied with the product and service! :)

A long journey from US to UK but it's finally here and I love it

It took a while to arrive (delivered to UK). I've ordered in November and it arrived yesterday, right on time before moving to a new address, but it took longer than usual also because of the Black Friday. I got very prompt replies to all my emails and they kept me updated everytime I asked. So if you have any problems with your order, they will be happy to assist. The toy is absolutely gorgeous. Quite big and good quality. So happy about it! Thank you guys!

The Grumpy Octopus was a great gift

The Grumpy Octopus was a great gift. I ordered the item in early December, but UPS lost the item. The company was very helpful and tried to find out what happened. I did not receive Grumpy for Christmas, but it arrived five days after Christmas. My friend loved it. It has beautiful eyes and bigger than I thought.

Great gift- just adorable!

What a great product- just adorable. I purchased the octopus and the penguin for my boys. I thought they were so cute. My kids did too! And customer service was great! I had issues with delivery on one, not only did they keep me posted, when it did delivered, they followed up with a email to be sure I was happy. Great customer service.

Great quality, super cute, and hilarious!

I ordered two plush grumpy Octopies, a grumpy penguin, a grumpy sloth, and a stress Octopus and they all were great quality! The plush ones were larger than I expected, but they are so soft and cute. They come with their own little story tags which makes them even funnier. The business was great to deal with even when the sloth took a little longer to ship out. I reached out to the company and they responded very quickly letting me know it would be just a little longer and then sent me a tracking number when it was shipped. I definitely recommend getting ANY of the grumpy family because they will definitely brighten your day any time you see them!

Terrible service! Complete incompetents.

Terrible service.
I ordered three toys, they shipped each toy in a separate order!!! And after three weeks they have not yet arrived. One package is coming by UPS, one is coming by dhl courrier. And dhl courrier says that they attempted delivery, which is an obvious lie, because we were home all- day and we live in a house, no appartment, just one door. All delivery drivers just leave the packages at the door. The customer service staff can’t even tell me where the packages are. The third toy hasn’t even shipped it seems after three weeks! They don’t know. They claim that they were somehow surprised by christmas, a holiday that arrives on the same day every year surprised them!? Complete incompetents and none of these gifts will arrive before Christmas as promised.
