Terrible service
December 12, 2014

Terrible service- Never again
I have ordered a number of items on November 28th (not personalised) which have still not arrived. After sending 3 e-Mails and Talking to 4 different Customer Service advisors all I heard was: "i can only tell you what the delivery company tells us, I Hope your order arrives"
Really annoyed, didn't get my order for my sons birthday and can't know if it even arrives before Christmas at all. They are horrible, a lot of attitude and no real help.
Oh yes I got a free delivery code... well that makes me feel much better. Don't buy from there as no one is willing to help you if there is a problem. Oh of course they happily took my money straight away and I'm sure it will be anything but a walk in the park trying to get it back

Ordering from Disneystore.com has been a pain in the behind! First off their policy on using gift cards is inconvenient and misleading. Customer service is non existent. Part of my order has gone missing and hasn't arrived after 30 days- emails and calls go unanswered.

Ordered one of their more expensive eGift cards online so I could get it immediately for a rush birthday gift. The credit card purchase went through immediately. But the card? Waiting. Waiting. Finally after a day, spent 30 minutes on hold to customer service. They informed me that for "larger" purchases, the customer has to actually call them back to confirm their information. This was NEVER listed on the site, nor in the "your order is processing" email. The need to physically call back negates any benefit of using their online system, and their lack of notifying customers of this "requirement" is absurd.

I ordered SEVERAL items from the disneystore.com on 11/26/2016. After 11 business days I reached out to them asking for an update on my order (considering they say they will notify me in 24 hours if something is not available and allow 9-11 business days for delivery). The CSR said my order was still processing and she will call me back in 1-2 business days. Two and a half business days pass and no response from them as promised. I call them again on business day 13. The CSR I spoke with had no idea why "it's still processing". Today, on business day 14, I get an email saying three of my seven items are no longer available. I tried calling corporate and gave me the same customer service number to call. So, now, 10 days away from Christmas, I do not have what I need and cannot get it online. Disney claims to be so concerned about making everything "magical". How about living up to your end of the bargain?

I bought a limited edition item that sold out online in 10 minutes. The website and app kept crashing as I was signing in, so I had to sign in as a guest. My delivery address was missing a suite #, that was it. The lazy UPS delivery person noted wrong apartment number (business address, dude). When discovering it wasn't delivered due to this I called both Shop Disney and UPS. Each company blames the other. The package goes right back to the sender. No chance to redeliver, pick up from UPS... nothing. BUT they don't tell you the package goes back to a whole separate location. NOT where it came from! Then charge me an additional $15 to "intercept" it. Which did NOTHING! So, their "policy" is to refund the package recipient when it comes back. I don't want that! I want my item that I bought fair and square that is sold out and selling for 3 times as much on eBay. Really crappy customer service. Screw your and your "pixie dust" to try and fix this!

I attempted to shop in a Disney store wearing a mask that does not exacerbate my medical condition. I Was barred from entry by an employee who insisted I wear a mask that the store provided. No questions asked. I have always been a fan of Disney and their customer service. I was shocked that they were so willing to discriminate against me- I will have to think twice as to whether I will remain a customer.

I pre-ordered an item that will not be available for two months. The very next day, my company informed me that I will be traveling out of the country during the time when the item was due to be shipped. I asked if they (Disney) would either cancel my order or delay the shipment so the box wouldn't just be sitting on my porch for a month. They refused. I was informed that orders are processed immediately and that was that. If it's a pre-order, then it's not an immediate process! I am extremely unhappy with what happened and wish I had seen their online reviews before purchasing. They have a 2.5 out of 5 star rating for a reason.

The charming voice informs one that the 'Disney magic' happens Monday to Saturday.
On Saturday I ordered on line and paid for next day delivery. It didn't arrive on Monday - surely that was the next working day according to the charming voice? Having spoken to a member of staff at the Disney store, I should have scrutinised terms and conditions, under deliveries section etc..., I didn't, I took it in good faith; I now know that orders placed on a Saturday won't arrive until Tuesday. Before you deal with this company DO check the small print.

The worst!
November 26, 2016

What a horrible company! I ordered a stupid doll back in October. It arrived about a week later and it was broken. So, I used their return sticker and did everything correctly and sent it back to them via UPS - the very same day I received it. When I hadn't heard anything about either a refund or an exchange, I checked the tracking number that I had received (which must have come off their return sticker as it turns out). Problem was, it was the same tracking number that had delivered the broken thing to my house. I emailed the company, called them and finally was told they would send a new package out - express and I should receive it within five days. Ten days later I'm still waiting. I'm going to have to call them again which infuriates me. I'm spending all this time trying to get a refund or an exchange from their defective merchandise. I will never order anything Disney related again.

SUCKS!
December 19, 2018

I received and order a month ago. Two of the items were too large. So I followed the 4 steps on the packing slip my order came with. 1. pack the items you want to send back using the original packaging if possible. 2. include the packing form with your items. 3. affix the return shipping label and seal the package. 4. ship your package

I did all that! Well it's over 3 weeks later and they haven't received it. I have chatted with about 5 different people, emailed about 10 different people. Finally was told i needed a tracking number for the return. How do i get one of those i asked? When you paid for postage they should have given me a tracking number. NO WHERE ON THE PACKING SLIP DOES IT SAY PAY FOR POSTAGE. I assumed the "affix the return shipping label" meant the return was prepaid. Why would i PAY for a return? If i had known i was supposed to pay for postage i never would have returned it via mail! I'm so upset!

I would order again
December 22, 2016

I only stumbled on this site because I was searching for an answer to how long it takes disney to ship an order. I was concerned that it was taking so long (day 3 and still waiting) but based on another review here it takes 7-9 days.
I was shocked to see all horror stories! But I had already placed an order so I thought oh well I hope this ends happily. I didn't have a problem with a past order either so I was hopeful.
I ordered 2 jewelry pieces on 12/12, paid with a gift card and disney credit card and I waited excitedly for a shipping update. On 12/17 I got the shipping confirmation (yay! I thought, this is going so smoothly). I was able to track my order as it was delivered. When it was delivered, the items were correct, packed securely and arrived safely.
My experience with Disney was good although other reviews have scared me thoroughly

I ordered around Thanksgiving hoping the gift would deliver to an APO address by Christmas. The week of Christmas I learned Disney neglected to tell me they ran out of the Elsa shoes and cancelled my order. Had I known back in November, I would have had time to buy from another store. How do we tell our 4 year old granddaughter she's not getting the "magic shoes" she asked for? We are SO disappointed with The Disney Store! Really doubt we'll bother shopping there again...

We purchased a Belle Bag in June this year, by end of July the covering was coming off the handles.
I contacted Disney and omg what a disgusting service, I was thrown from one person to another and non of them knowing what they were doing.
Eventually in September I was told I would be refunded but needed to wait 21 days.
I waited 21 days and no refund, back to being thrown from one useless person to another each and everyone totally useless.
I have been going threw this until 6 days ago when I was told they sent the refund but my bank rejected it which is a total lie as while waiting for my refund I contacted my bank and they had nothing from Disney.
I was called again and again gave my bank details and again told had to wait 21 days which will be the end of December. This will mean I have waited 6 months and dealt with the worst customer service I have ever in my life dealt with.
I have asked numerous times for the head office address and this has been refused, I have never been offered any other compensation for the diabolical service.
Do not buy from Disney thinking if thing goes wrong you will get a good customer service as I promise you it is the worst customer service ever.

I ordered a couple of things online a week ago. Paid shipping and it said it was going to take from 5 to 7 business days. We're a day away from that 7 business days and I cant track my order. I've called the Disney store 3 times already asking why I cant track my order down if It should be on its way. They said because I had personalized a couple of items and it was going to take longer. Very disappointed, these where birthday gift and they wont get here on time. If I knew it was going to take longer than what they've said I would've never ordered anything to begin with.

Disney store charged twice for one gift. I called in and they said it's for "security reasons." I paid over 50 bucks for my purchase and they charged me twice. Try your hardest to not buy from here. That's way too expensive and ridiculous for a security reason.

Do not buy from this company. It appears everything comes from overseas directly. You'll find out that " shipping" takes 20-25 days... But from when. From a recent shopwaltdisney email "Hi Melvin,

Would you please confirm which of your statements is true?

Your order has been confirmed and completed and it's on its way to the address you provided.

OR

Will do the best efforts to speed things up, so your order will be shipped out ASAP.

I don't believe it can be already on the way to my address and "will be shipped ASAP" at the same time. "

Horrible!
September 28, 2017

I have never had such a horrible time trying to purchase anything online! Wasnt taking my gift card that had 25$ So I had to make my order without it. After a week of making my purchase they said it wasnt going through and had to cancel my order. 5 reps later I was finally able to make my order again then send me a email saying my order was shipped with the wrong address after I repeated and spelled everything out twice! I dont recommend ordering anything from this website or purchasing any gift cards that you arent even able to use anyways!

Don't do it
August 13, 2020

Placed an order for my daughters book bag and lunch box for school on July 15th and it never arrived even though it said 4-7 days. Today is August 13th and my order is still processing. Very time I try to contact them they tell me the same thing that it ships in 4-7 days and some items may be delayed. They said they can't cancel my order. It's been a month since I placed my order!

I had 2 Disney gift cards from a promotion $250 worth of giftcards. I went onto their website and ordered some merch, and they requested I entered a credit card just in case. Well guess what, they didn't charge the gift cards and they charged my credit card. Their reasoning either 1. The gift card had a zero balance (no, I checked it from their website) 2. It had been used before (seriously, what antiquated system are you using that I have to spend $250 gift cards in one shot) 3. It doesn't work on their site (yes, I received 2 cards and the first one I used for earlier purchases). I truly believe Disney is getting hammered by the economy and they've made their money off the gift cards already, so now they are charging people. How illegal can a company get? DO NOT BUY FROM THESE CLOWNS!
