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!

CHRISTMAS RUINED December the 11, I went into FAO in Rockefeller Center. I worked 3 jobs during fall and winter of 2022 to give my kids a nice Christmas. Here we are January 13, no gifts still for my children. They actually mailed a hair barrette. One hair barrette and the rest of the order is “lost.” Back and forth thru emails and long waits. I will NEVER purchase another gift here again. This was hard earned money, and I don’t have it to replace the gifts. So upset and sad at the callous way they treated me. Never again!

Not the Best Comeback... Was so happy that FAO made a comeback and I know it was Christmas and being a zoo was exactly what I expected, BUT what I did not expect was inexperienced staff who could not put tissue paper around items in their beautiful shopping bag! After all, the bag is branding, yet the help behind the counter seemed inexperienced and/or plain stupid. This is just simple boutique service and the line was not even that long! ALSO I found the layout to be non shopper friendly-The worst! Was very surprised to have felt this way having been a regular shopper since childhood and now as an adult to buy gifts. Lastly, no doormen in uniform?? Very disappointing!

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?

Overcharged and ripped off. Overcharged and ripped off. Purchased an item at $31 99 Discovered later it was retailed at $19.99 elsewhere. The company refused to accept a return. Shocking service.
