What reviewers often mention

🎯

Service quality

Most service comments describe support that doesn’t respond, including ignored cancellation requests and complaints. One review mentions fast delivery of footwear, suggesting an occasional good service experience.

💰

Value for money

Several reviewers say the toys cost too much for items that broke or felt unsafe. One higher-rated review calls the hoodies first-class, so stronger value feedback appears limited to a small number of apparel purchases.

User experience

Reviews often mention orders being cancelled without clear updates, plus stock or store mix-ups that led to items being sold out. Some reports describe refunds promised after system errors, but follow-through seems slow or uneven.

🔧

Product quality

Multiple reviewers say toys broke within minutes and could be dangerous. Positive notes on quality are few and focus on apparel rather than toys.

📞

Communication

Common complaints include missing delivery dates, no replies to questions, and weak coordination between stores. One review alleges advertising used mutilated dogs; it appears once and should be read as a single mention.

Overall experience

Negative feedback clusters around poor communication and toys that don’t last. Positive feedback centres on fast delivery and one strong endorsement of clothing quality. Overall, ratings split between very low and very high.

Can't believe my family looks this gorgeous in the new THRASHER HOODIE FLAME LOGO BLACK hoodies. I'm impressed. They are warm, stylish, and the sizes are fine. The quality is first-class and everyone is so delighted about the design and printing. Kong Online team, thank you so much for making the entire shopping process so simple. From the use of your website, ordering, paying and delivery. We can't wait to wear them during our next family trip and take some photos. Once again, we appreciate your great service and delivering beyond our expectations. Will definitely order more and more from your wide selection.
