This company is basically a scam This company is basically a scam. They sell you a broken product and won’t do anything about it even with proof it was an error in production and not an error in your part. That is terrible customer service. I will be telling everyone I know not to purchase from this terrible company.

If I could rate a zero I would If I could rate a zero I would. I ordered a toy on Aug 21 for my grandkids who were visiting. The order never got past “label created” and “ready to ship” so the company reordered it. It took so long that my grandkids had already returned to CA. I should have just ordered from Amazon and we’d have had it in two days! Now FAO will not reimburse me for shipping the toy I never received!

I ordered a suprise order of over $600… I ordered a suprise order of over $600 to be shipped to someone with $140 overnight fedex shipping. 2 days later they shipped a box of crayons in the order but not the other 12 larger items. To this day, its been 4 days of me emailing their sole contact method which is an email address and nobody responds. When you call the store, they direct you to that same email. So unless you are in NY, do NOT order online from them because they will ghost you completely.

I ordered two Tina Turner Barbie dolls… I ordered two Tina Turner Barbie dolls to keep as collectibles. One of the doll boxes was crushed so I contacted FAO Schwarz’ customer service through their email to see if they had a replacement. I received the automatically generated reply that they would be in touch within 48 hours. Never heard back so I emailed them again…they have never responded. Is this how they treat their customers?

Great service, received in a week and well packed. Ordered two Stevie Nicks Barbie dolls when no one else had them at retail. The retail price is $55, they had them at $60 with free shipping, so fair pricing imho. I was a little concerned by all of the negative reviews of FAO Schwarz. However, Iordered on a Friday, they loaded tracking numbers by Monday, and I got confirmation that the packages were picked up and headed to me by day 4. Got them on my porch 6 business days after ordering. They were in their Mattel shipping boxes, also packed inside outer boxes with packing pillows. They are in perfect shape! No complaints here. PS they are now out of these sold-out-everywhere dolls, but glad I got mine.
