Wooden Toys Subscriptions
I recently hosted a Facebook Event to answer all of the questions people have about Wooden Toy Subscriptions. There are a number of different options available, which can seem confusing if you havent had a subscription before.
I have collated all of the questions and responses in one place, so if you are considering a subscription with The Wooden Play Den, hopefully this may give you a bit more infomation.
Here is a quick summary of each of our subscriptions to get us started:
Wish List Subscription
You provide a specific list of toys that you want to receive, it needs to be a big list! It enables you to spread the cost if you know what toys you want to receive. You will receive a parcel each month and know what you are receiving overall.
- Add items that are currently out of stock
- The value of toys will not always be the same, if you receive less one month the money is rolled over.
- Good option a few months before a birthday or Christmas
Mixed Brand Subscription
If you like specific brands then this is for you. You can specify between 2 & 4 brands.
- 3 levels available - £20, £30 or £40 per month, you will receive a saving based on the level selected. the higher the level the higher the saving.
- Some months higher / lower value all evens out.
- Email a list of anything you have already so you dont receive duplicates
- Let me know preferences, Bajo but not rainbows, Holztiger but not people etc.
- Join at any time during the month
- Toys will be received 7-10 days after payment
Questions:
-
What is the list of brands we choose from? - Any brands available on the website. Recommended between 2 & 4 Brands.
-
If I buy the £20 Sub, am I only saving 10%? - Yes, the % savings increases the higher the level.
- Would Neds be in any of the subscriptions, if so which level? Ans: Neds can be included and it would have to be mixed with other brands and would be at least level 2.
