Orders for our presents placed before 4pm Monday to Friday are dispatched the same day and we send you a 'Track your Delivery' email after the parcel is sent

We use the Royal Mail Track & Trace service which means the postman has to scan the parcel when it is delivered.

For any delivery problem, please let us know as soon as possible on cs@wickeduncle.co.uk. You must inform us within 7 days of purchase so we can investigate with Royal Mail.

In addition to your legal rights, we allow you to return goods if you don't want them for any reason within 30 days of purchase.  Must be returned unopened and in the original packaging please. We ask you to cover the cost of postage for returning an unwanted present.

If you buy something from the 6 year old boys' toys section, we assume the birthday is imminent. We then send you a reminder at about the same time next year to buy a present for a 7 year old boy. We also put clever age-related present suggestions into the email so it is dead easy. And you can enter all the birthdays you can think of in the Reminders in My Account.

No. You only receive an Order Confirmation by email, with all the details. We do not put any paperwork in the box, because most of our presents go straight to the child which saves you doing all the work - that is what Wicked Uncle is all about. As well as being the best place to buy Brilliant Children's Presents.

No, we only deliver within the UK and do not send parcels abroad.

Due to customs restrctions, we cannot deliver to the Channel Islands.

No, each order can only go to a single delivery address. We used to do it, but it was over-complicated and prone to error. So we made it simple. But we can keep all your details so placing two separate orders is really fast.

You can select the Free Gift Message option during Checkout. Or select a Greetings Card to buy during Checkout. Our cards are hand written with your message so it makes the present nicer and more personal.

Plus every parcel always includes a special Wicked Uncle Thank You postcard with your name and address already on it.  So gratitude comes included!

Because we put a huge amount of effort into choosing our presents and finding toys, games and unusual gifts which children like and which they - and we - think are fun.  We go to lots of toy and gift shows, we talk to toy inventors, we look out for the next trend and of course we ask kids what toys girls and boys really like. With over 50,000 positive reviews, trust us, we know!

So people can find what they are looking for faster.  We separate age and gender to make it easier for our customers to select a present 

Most presents are in both genders, but our age categories are sorted by Popularity as standard (other options are available) and this is very different for Boys & Girls.  The order of Popularity is determined solely by our customers' purchases.

So a popular choice in Boys may well be less popular in the same age for Girls - they are displayed but just further down the page.

If you would rather see all the presents in an age category, just select "All" and then choose the age.

We use the information for the purpose of fulfilling your orders and reminding you about birthdays.  We also send emails out on a regular basis with details of new and interesting stuff and reminding you about important events eg Xmas.

Yes, we are delighted to do so. We will happily take back and dispose of any electrical or electronic item sold by us. All you have to do is post the item to us at your expense together with your original Order Confirmation number or other identifying information.

We will also dispose of old items on a like for like basis. ie If you buy a new battery powered monkey from us, you can dispose of your old battery powered monkey by posting it to us at your expense within 28 days of your purchase. We will then ensure the old monkey is disposed of in accordance with WEEE regulations.

We would advise you that there may well be more convenient local schemes operated by your local council for the safe disposal of such electronic and electrical items.

Remember, if an item has the crossed out wheelie bin on the product or packaging then you have a duty to dispose of it safely so that it does not end up in landfill thereby avoiding hazards to human health and our environment. Don't put it in with your normal household waste, either return it to us or dispose of it safely elsewhere via your local council. We ourselves operate on a business park and all our waste is safely taken care of as part of our rental agreement.

From 1 January 2021, parcels posted to/from BFPO customers located in EU/UK will require either a Royal Mail Customs Notification 22 (CN22), Customs Notification 23 (CN23) or Parcelforce Customs Pack (CP72) and Electronic Customs Data (ECD).

New customs declaration procedures (CN22/CN23/CP72/ECD) will need to be completed by the seller/sender for products destined for overseas BFPO locations. Ordering/sending customers should have the opportunity to either pay VAT/clearance charges (if applicable) up front or opt for these charges to be paid by the recipient under local country arrangements. Additionally, from March 2021, there will be a requirement to supply ICS2 EU customs pre-arrival data which will be linked to your parcel and new mail VAT processes are scheduled for introduction in July.

Perfect gifts, beautifully wrapped

Website was easy to navigate. Loved the fact it showed me suggestions of toys for the age group. So much easier than just putting in asearch where you end up with too many options. Came quickly , beautifully wrapped. Used for the first time last year and i got the reminder to select for this year will definitely use again. Straightforward and hassle free.

Great gift for little person

Well, my nine year old grandson loves his mismatched socks, so job done. ?? He has no idea and probably doesn’t care about the socksbeing well made but he does really like the crazy graphics on them.

Recent Customer 5 May 2026

First time experience of a brilliant company, I will definitely use again.

Arrived when they said it would, which was only 3 days after my order and that was standarddelivery. Like that it's a UK company and the products are worth the money, sturdy and robust.

Recommended.

I got a reminder email from WU because I had bought a birthday present for a grandchild from them last year. My initial reaction was "not another sales message".But then I looked at the suggestions in the email, and they were really good. We ended up buying another present which was a big success. Delivery was on time, no problems. They have a great choice and it's satisfying not to buy from Mr B.

Recent Customer 5 May 2026

Imaginative and efficient service.

At first glance it may seem like the lazy option, but when quality toy shops are fewer and farther between than ever and family children livehundreds of miles away instead just a few streets, it’s so good to find a toy service that offers a good selection of nice toys and wraps and sends them directly to the lucky recipient. I was grateful, too, for the Now-you-are-1, handwritten card. Little George was delighted with his beautiful turtle.
