Wilko has a 3.6/5 average rating from over 77,000 TrustPilot reviews. One chuffed shopper shared, "great value for money" while another added a five-star review: "Easy to use site and easy to order. Speedy delivery and well packaged, absolutely no chance of any damage in transit. Products exactly as advertised, in fact, even better than expected. Would recommend, give them a try."

"I just wanted to say I am very satisfied with the products," gushed a thrilled customer in another top-rated review. "Happy children, happy mothers. Very good quality, exactly as described, really impressed. Worth the money. Fast delivery and friendly staff. Thank you again."

Some customers have voiced their frustrations with delivery issues, saying, "The advisors are helpful and do what they can but the whole process is so slow, referring off to suppliers and sometimes waiting days for a response."

In contrast, another customer praised the service: "Delivery was early. The delivery team contacted me to let me know when they would be able to deliver my items. On arrival they again contacted me. The lads where polite helpful and removed their shoes to prevent mud on carpets. Can't fault them and would definitely use your company again."

For those eager to snap up some bargains, Wilko's website boasts a full range of toys on sale. With Christmas approaching, toy sales are everywhere; Smyth's currently offers discounts on a wide selection, including the Lego Star Wars Jedi Bob's Starfighter Set, now only £25.99, down from £34.99.

The Entertainer also has significant markdowns on Marvel, Disney Princess, and Bluey toys.
