Questions Parents Actually Ask.
Shipping, returns, safety, age guidance, and how Pay Now deposits work with Stripe and PayPal.
Shipping
Orders ship from our Manchester shop in the United Kingdom. Most UK addresses receive parcels in 1–3 working days. You will receive a tracking note by email.
Yes. Standard UK shipping is free on orders over £60. Below that, a flat UK rate applies. Expedited options can be selected at checkout.
If the parcel has not been handed to the courier, write to hello@toybloom.example with your order number. Once it is in transit, we can help redirect only where the courier allows it.
Returns
You have 14 days after delivery to start a return for unused items in original packaging. Opened toys that have been played with cannot be resold for safety reasons, except in the case of a defect.
Photograph the issue, keep the packaging, and email us within 48 hours of delivery. We will arrange a replacement or refund without asking you to pay return postage for our mistake.
Safety
We only list products that meet recognised standards such as EN 71 or ASTM F963 (as applicable). Product pages list materials, age guidance, and supervision notes.
We favour food-grade silicone, organic cotton, water-based paints, and FSC wood. Each product’s Safety & materials section names what you are buying.
Age
Age marks are about small parts, strength, and typical development — not a child’s intelligence. If your child is between stages, choose the more conservative option for unsupervised play.
Often yes. Check the product page: some kits say “10+ with an adult.” Supervision does not make tiny parts safe for toddlers.
Payments
We accept secure deposits and payments through Stripe (cards) and PayPal. Tap Pay Now, enter your details on Toy Bloom, then finish on Stripe or PayPal’s official checkout. Prices are in pounds sterling.
Orders
Yes — choose local pickup at checkout and we will confirm when your bag is ready at 14 King Street Arcade. Bring the confirmation email.
We can add simple kraft wrap and a handwritten note. Mention it in the checkout comments.
