We won’t be beaten on price!
We are proud to offer more than just great prices, but we never want price to be a reason you shop elsewhere.
If you find Hamleys, Toys R Us, Early Learning center, Kiddy zone, Baby shop, Mother Care, Mumzworld, other Toy specialists and their Websites have the same product at a cheaper price, we’ll match it – even up to 7 days after purchase.
Make a note of the product barcode, its price and the competitor you want us to match. We’ll verify these details and match the price then and there. To benefit by phone, call 800-69869 or if you have already made a purchase in store, please revisit one of our branches to point out the same. You can also email us on info@thetoystore.com.
When you call us, we can reserve the item for collection at a store near to you or arrange delivery to your home – whatever suits you best!

THE IMPORTANT QUESTIONS
How do we set fair prices for our own brand products?
We’re proud of all the products we sell at The Toy Store, because each one is selected to bring you the best quality and value. And to ensure we offer the most competitive prices, we regularly compare all these products against others in the market.
How do we ensure prices set for branded products are always competitive?
Our dedicated Buying team proactively check the prices of branded products at other Toy Specialists, whether it is online or even during sales. If we find that they are selling the same individual product, sold with the same service conditions, at a lower price, we’ll match that price in our shops and at thetoystore.com. So we don’t expect you to find a lower price elsewhere. But if you do, you can easily make a price match request.
How do we compare prices?
First we need to be sure that the product is available at one of the toy specialists. Our team also needs to be satisfied that the product is the same make, model, size and color, and comes with the same conditions of sale, delivery times and service conditions we offer. If the offering is the same we will then ensure that the price we are selling a product at is the same as that of our competitors.
What if you do find a lower price elsewhere?
If you do find the same product for sale at a lower price at another toy specialist, either in store or online, and sold with the same service conditions, you can make a price match request. It’s really easy – just let us know in one of the following ways:
If our team agrees with your request, we’ll happily match the price when you buy the product from us. Or if you’ve already bought it within the last 7 days, we’ll refund you the difference.
What do we mean by a Toy Specialist?
Toy specialists are those retailers whose majority instore offering focusses on Toys and Kids products. In the Middle East the following qualify as Toy specialist:
Which prices do we match?
The competitor’s prices need to be publicly available to all customers. For us to verify these prices, they need to be displayed in the competitor’s own shop or on their website, or be the first price quoted to our price monitoring team over the telephone. The price must apply to a new, identical individual product, that’s the same make, model, size and color.
How do we compare service conditions?
We always aim to offer you the best possible service, so we have a range of delivery options, as well as fitting and installation services if you require them. Our price-monitoring team look carefully at how the competitor sells the product, to ensure that it’s comparable to our offer in the following ways:
Stock availability:
We carry a wide range of products, and for us to match the price, our competitor must have the product in stock (rather than available only to order). For products that we deliver, we ask that the competitor is able to deliver in equivalent timescales to us.
Delivery or Click & collect charges:
For products that require delivery or are available for Click & collect only, we will take any associated charges into account when comparing the total price you will pay.
Fitting or installation services:
We carefully select our fitting and installation providers to ensure that they match the quality of the products we sell. We will consider lowering the combined price of the product and the service, but only if a competitor’s installation service is comparable in terms of quality. We compare things like the scope of the workmanship, the quality of the materials used, the timescale for completing the work and the accreditation of the fitters.
What if a competitor is offering a bundle of products?
We will match on a case-by-case basis the total price for the bundle of products, if the price of the bundle is publicly available to all customers and the products in the competitor’s bundle are identical to products we sell, including any free items. If bundled products offered at a promotional rate by a competitor can also be bought individually at full price, we will generally not lower our price for the bundle itself in store or online.
What about promotions?
We match price-based promotions given at the point of purchase, but we don’t consider service or reward-based promotions, such as trade-ins, cashbacks, extended warranties or express delivery. If a competitor is running a very short-term promotion, we may not have a chance to lower our price, but we’ll still consider refunding you the difference.
What about temporary or exclusive discounts?
We do consider temporarily discounted prices, including any publicly available voucher codes that are published alongside the product at the point of purchase, or on the competitor’s website. We don’t consider special prices that are only available to certain customers, for instance negotiated prices or prices for groups such as account holders, reward card or club members. We don’t consider prices that are only available through third-party websites, or with voucher codes issued to individual customers or groups.
What about special orders?
We will consider matching the price on special order lines that aren’t part of our normal stocked range. But we reserve the right to refuse to lower prices on such orders where it would be uneconomical for us to do so. We’ll let you know if we’re able to match a price at the point of confirming your order.
What about third-party in-store concessions?
Our third-party concessions, such as Pro Hobbies, Build a Bear, First Impressions, etc. are operated by the third party, not The Toy Store, so products and services in them are not covered by our pricing policy.
