Waste of money I bought F.A.O Schwarz 753-Piece Build-A-Coaster Playset-753 piece set for my 9 year boy grandson . The instruction manual is very difficult to follow even for an adult. The construction is fragile and is NOT WORKING as suggested. It was a TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY.

Overcharged and ripped off. Overcharged and ripped off. Purchased an item at $31 99 Discovered later it was retailed at $19.99 elsewhere. The company refused to accept a return. Shocking service.

Not the Best Comeback... Was so happy that FAO made a comeback and I know it was Christmas and being a zoo was exactly what I expected, BUT what I did not expect was inexperienced staff who could not put tissue paper around items in their beautiful shopping bag! After all, the bag is branding, yet the help behind the counter seemed inexperienced and/or plain stupid. This is just simple boutique service and the line was not even that long! ALSO I found the layout to be non shopper friendly-The worst! Was very surprised to have felt this way having been a regular shopper since childhood and now as an adult to buy gifts. Lastly, no doormen in uniform?? Very disappointing!

CHRISTMAS RUINED December the 11, I went into FAO in Rockefeller Center. I worked 3 jobs during fall and winter of 2022 to give my kids a nice Christmas. Here we are January 13, no gifts still for my children. They actually mailed a hair barrette. One hair barrette and the rest of the order is “lost.” Back and forth thru emails and long waits. I will NEVER purchase another gift here again. This was hard earned money, and I don’t have it to replace the gifts. So upset and sad at the callous way they treated me. Never again!

Great service, received in a week and well packed. Ordered two Stevie Nicks Barbie dolls when no one else had them at retail. The retail price is $55, they had them at $60 with free shipping, so fair pricing imho. I was a little concerned by all of the negative reviews of FAO Schwarz. However, Iordered on a Friday, they loaded tracking numbers by Monday, and I got confirmation that the packages were picked up and headed to me by day 4. Got them on my porch 6 business days after ordering. They were in their Mattel shipping boxes, also packed inside outer boxes with packing pillows. They are in perfect shape! No complaints here. PS they are now out of these sold-out-everywhere dolls, but glad I got mine.
