Shoptoysale.ca has a rating of 1 star from 7 reviews, indicating that most customers are generally dissatisfied with their purchases. Shoptoysale.ca ranks 56th among Toys Store sites.
The perpetrators behind shoptoysale.ca and any other affliates should be shut down and banned from further taking advantage of people who just want to shop toys, especially around the holiday season. I was fortunate that no payment was taken. If you get sent to Paypal and see a suspicious looking email address, cancel it! That's what I did and that's also how I caught on to this sham of a website.

Tip for consumers:
DON'T ENTER YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION WITH THEM.
Watch out. This site is a scam. They took my money and there's no way to contact. They sell most everything cheaper than elsewhere so very temping
Tip for consumers:
Do not use this site.
This website is a fraudulent website. They use a business address that is a toy store but its not their toy store. They are a scam, they charge you out of another country for slightly more than what the price listed is. Stay away! They've been reported.
Horrible. This company is a Scam 4 months and no replies to inquires and no refund of money. They are cheating people out of money. Shame on you.
Tip for consumers:
Do not order.

Fake site. Don't buy. Payment takes you to a "send money" PayPal, and the transaction is never completed.
It seems to good to be true a full scam TIP: read reviews before you buy this website is a joke don't buy don't buy I don't want what happened to me to happen to you I hate this website with every fibre of my body please don't buy anything from here
It makes me very angry to see all these people who are continuing to get hurt by the grifters behind ShopToySale.ca and ShopToySale.com! I do have some updates to add to my story. First, I was very lucky, as after I reported the fraud to my credit card company, I was eventually able to get back my money, which I'm very grateful for! I'm not sure other people were that lucky. The other day, I looked up both websites to see if they were still active. Unfortunately, both fake webstores are still fully active a year later, and continuing to scam unsuspecting consumers! I was so furious, I finally made an official report to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre. (I encourage others to do as well, if you have the time and energy to do so. Beware that the website tends to log you out if you're working too slowly, so I recommend typing up all the transaction information and your personal experience report ahead of time in a text editor before you go on their website, so you can copy/paste as you go.)
Here's some GOOD NEWS: Pat Foran at CTV's Consumer Alert has indicated that he is very interested in covering this story, but he is *specifically* looking for people who got scammed and have been unable to get their money back so far. So if that is you, please email Pat Foran: Alert (a t) c t v (d o t) c a
If Mr. Foran doesn't reply, email me and I'll get you connected. My email: FAC51Ltd (a t) g m a i l (d o t) c o m
LET'S FIGHT BACK!
Tip for consumers:

NOTHING - they send you nothing!!! These fake websites exist solely to steal your credit card information and make fraudulent charges on them.
... IT'S MOST LIKELY A SCAM!
Whilst Googling for a good Lego deal, we came upon Shoptoysale.ca and saw significant discounts on Star Wars Lego sets - the really good ones that were getting no discounts on any other website. Lured by an amazing deal, we ordered a normally hugely expensive Millennium Falcon Lego set for the ridiculously low price of $84 CAD. But we never got an order confirmation email. We messaged them asking about a confirmation, and received a bogus 'Pending Support Ticket' email. They never ended up replying.
We started to get worried, and we checked for customer reviews online, and found two negative reviews on Trustpilot (under Shoptoysale.com rather than. Ca) complaining that the store is fraudulent. Then my brother discovered that Shoptoysale.ca only came into existence just this November of 2021 (just before Black Friday sales and the Christmas holidays - how convenient!).
I checked my credit card records, and discovered that the company that received my payment is_not_ based in Canada as they claimed, but in the UK, under the moniker CompanyCheck.co.uk - and I even got hit with a foreign transaction fee because of it. I tried to have the charges reversed on my credit card, but to no avail. Basically, I won't get my money back, unless this fake company_decides_ to give it back - and if they're grifters, why the hell would they? I've now had to cancel my credit card and get a new one, because the scammers got all my card info, including the 3-digit security number on the back. DAMN.
Thankfully, I only lost $84 - it could've been so much worse. I'm posting here to warn others not to trust this kind of fly-by-night online pop-up shop that offers deals that are way too good to be true, especially around the winter holidays, when everyone is looking for a good deal on expensive gifts. Do your research before paying anyone a dime.
