Off hour customer service is abysmal I called the customer service (800 818 4955) listed on my email invoice at 4:30pm PDT. The individual that answered the phone had me repeat my name three times and give him the order number twice. I asked to do a return and the first thing he said "Is the order more then 30 days old". I said no and wouldn't the order number give you the details. He didnt answer and said that I asked if he could put me on hold. When I asked him why I had to go on hold to do a return he told me not to shout in his ear. I hung up. I called the same number at 2:00pm PDT and representative was able to process my return. Totally different experience during East Coast working hours

Sent Broken Toy, Return Policy is Cryptic (but TBD) I ordered a DIY game console for my son when it arrived we found out you need a specific toolkit to put it together, but Scientifics Direct doesn't sell it. So we ordered it on Amazon. Then, after 6 hours of putting the toy together, my son went to turn it on and... nothing. It doesn't work. Now it looks like you can't return opened packages? But what if they're defective? The item itself is sold out now, so it might be a moot point, but I hope we can get our money back! I've got a very sad 12-year-old boy right now, and Mama, too, after spending $140 on a toy that doesn't work. :(

Lazer Tag Game I bought 3 of the Lazer Tag Games and one of them did not work, even after replacing the batteries. The batteries needed are a small hearing aid type battery that is impossible to find. My grandkids were very disappointed.

I have had great experiences in the … I have had great experiences in the past, but the (expensive) toy this year was garbage. It is a 3 foot robot to assemble. It collapses under its own weight when built. It was WAY to easy for the age group listed. Total disappointment. We already recycled the plastic.

Received damaged box with item missing. Ordered on 1/30/17. Received on 2/4/17. Box was damaged and item #3153162 was missing but other 2 items were still in box. I called right away, sent pictures of the box and was told another would be sent right away. Never received it.
