“Overall very pleased and would use again”

I got my kids one of the battery powered cars each for Christmas last year, a white C class for my daughter and a red one for my son. They look great and all the features are brilliant. The boot at the back and the seatbelts are a nice realistic addition. Pricing was very reasonable and speedy delivery. Overall very pleased and would use again.

Still haven't received order from over 2 weeks ago. They don't return phone calls and are dishonest in emails. I'm very disappointed and reporting to credit card company.

Found the perfect electric car for my granddaughter at a really good price and ordered it. Absolutely delighted with it when it arrived and was very impressed with speed of delivery. Very impressed with the range on this site including price range too. I will certainly recommend to family and friends.

This website/company is a fraud! I lost hundreds of dollars to them not knowing this. Please make the money I lost worth it by not falling victim to these thieves.

Tip for consumers:
DO NOT USE THIS SITE

Great little gift and easy enough to assemble. My god daughter zooms around on this constantly smiling and laughing, although she has not mastered the skill of steering as of yet which makes the parental remote control come in very handy when driving around inside the house

Spent £129 on an Audi which looked great and you could even play music in. Amazing product and definitely worth the money!

I bought a motorbike for my younger cousin in April and I've never seen him so excited he loves riding around on it. He still uses it all the time so money well spent! It came quickly and in the time that had been advised. Highly recommend buying from here!

They will keep delaying you and promising and they will send you a fake tracking number. Fake, fraud and a waste of time!

Couldn't be happier with the service. Ordered the trampoline late Sunday night and it was delivered Tuesday. My 4 year old absolutely loves his birthday present and I'm sure he will have lots of fun for years to come

I am delighted to hear that you were pleased with your item. With regard to the numberplates, unfortunately for safety reasons we are unable to provide plastic numberplates for these items - the concern is that they may become detached and cause a hazard when the car is being driven. As a result, we make clear on our website that the numberplates are made from high quality self-adhesive vinyl, and are weatherproof for up to seven years. I hope that helps - please do contact us should you have any other queries regarding your purchase. Thank you again for your recommendation, and I hope that your daughter loves her Christmas present! With all best regards, Julie, Tigris Ltd.

Bought 4x4 jeep for granddaughters birthday. When opened rear bumper was broken. Tried ringing - only an answer machine. Emailed them with pics. Didn't get reply. Was really concerned after reading terrible reviews on here so I contacted Trading Standards for advice. I sent them a letter, recorded delivery, asking for replacement part under 2015 Consumer Rights Act. Next day got email reply with promise of replacement within a week. It was delivered the next day.
Speak as you find. Great little vehicle for the money and great customer service.

Came the next day. Kids love it. Easy to assemble. Perfect for the summer. I will be buying a extra set of batteries so the kids don't have to wait for the car to charge again. Recommend

A faulty piece was given to us and taken back for repair. Company is not returning the product and when our courier goes for pick up it says that there is no car. Company is fake and action should be taken against company

The car was delivered within 18 hours and is much better than I expected. Easy to assemble and I didn't need any help. I recommend them.

Motor started playing up after about 6 months so after checking the bits in the email they sent and didn't fix it, returned it to them. They sorted it and sent it back to me. Can't get better than that

Ordered a for my little boys first birthday. And as per previous reviews, turned up dirty, parts missing and actually the car itself was broken. Called customer service who were so unhelpful told me if I wanted to return I would have to do so at my own cost! Managed to get that changed and they used their own corner to pick up 2 weeks after the package was delivered to them they still haven't processed my refund. Start to finish was awful. Please don't think this is a British company as the only British bit is the owners, it's imported cheap from chine and not even quality checked just sent on to us. The website is misleading. Luckily a company called kidscarsdirect.com saved the day and I wish I had gone to them first as they got it right first time! Please AVOID rideoncars.co.uk

Product had a fault from day one and various means were tried to correct the fault. (Sending replacement parts, asking me to reset the remote and the vehicle etc) After roughly 2 months they asked me to return the product. I advised that I hadn't kept the packaging but was told that was fine, just pack it as best as I can. The vehicle was wrapped in bubble wrap and returned (they arranged collection) after a week I had not heard anything so I sent an email asking if they had received it. I then received a very abrupt email saying the car was damaged beyond repair, their courier would not accept responsibility and it was my fault for not packing it more securely. I told them I would be taking it up with my bank and suddenly their attitude changed and they offered me 50% refund. My bank upheld my claim and refunded the entire purchase price.

I would advise people to pay a little bit more and get it from Toys R us or Smythes as at least you have recourse to return a faulty item. It sounds like this company tries everything it can to prevent you from returning the goods so that they don't have to give you a refund, and then when the timescale expires you don't have a leg to stand on. The price might be attractive but you get what you pay for.

I am very sorry to hear that you had a problem with returns. We are a registered company and our policies are fully compliant with the Consumer Contracts Regulations. Any item that is reported as faulty will be eligible for return and full refund, as long as the customer reports the fault within 30 days of receipt. This applies even if the timescale subsequently expires, so there can be no question of deliberate delays to prevent refunds. With all best regards, Julie, Tigris Ltd.
