Frequently Asked Questions

We put significant effort into choosing our presents and unusual gifts which children enjoy and they - and we - think are fun.  We go to toy shows, and we're attentive to what toys are popular with kids. Trust us, we know.  If they already have our brilliantly chosen present, tell us and we will change it! How cool is that?

Orders for our presents placed before 4pm EST Monday to Friday are dispatched the same day. Standard Delivery normally takes 4 to 6 business days. Please note: We don't ship on weekends, or holidays, so anything ordered after 4pm Friday will normally be dispatched on Monday. 

For any delivery problem, please let us know within 7 days. Since carriers sometimes leave parcels with neighbors or in a safe place, please check if this has happened.  We have also known forgetful partners to take in parcels and hide them.


No. You only receive an Order Confirmation by email, with all the details. We do not put any paperwork in the box, because most of our presents go straight to the child which saves you doing all the work - that is what Wicked Uncle is all about. As well as being the best place to buy Gifts Kids Love.

    Girl with teddy & boxesYes, we have a colorful selection of gift wrap for our curated presents which you can add for a small fee. You can select this option during the checkout process. It looks as good as if you would have done it yourself, or better.

You can write a free gift message or purchase a unique handwritten greeting card. Plus, every parcel always includes a special Wicked Uncle 'Thank You' postcard with your name and address already on it. So gratitude comes included!

In addition to your legal rights, you can return goods if you simply change your mind within 30 days of purchase. We ask you to cover the cost of postage for returning an unwanted present.  If there is a problem with any of our products or our service, please let us know and we will sort it out.

You don't have to fill out forms or get a returns number. Please include your name, telephone number and email, so we know who sent it. It is useful to get proof of postage.

Our address is:

Wicked Uncle, 10227 Southard Drive, Beltsville MD 20705

We ask you to cover the cost of postage for returning an unwanted present.

Any problems or queries, email us at support@wickeduncle.com

Even if you buy a really cool present, or particularly brilliant toy, they still want a card - unreasonable but true. Our cards are handwritten to create personal connections.

No, each order can only go to a single delivery address. We used to do it, but it was over-complicated and prone to error. So, we made it simple — we can keep all your details so placing two separate orders is really fast.

If you buy something from the 6 year old boys' toys section, we assume the birthday is imminent. We then send you a reminder at about the same time next year to buy a present for a 7 year old boy. We also put clever age-related present suggestions into the email.  And you can enter all the birthdays you can think of into the Reminders section in My Account.

No, we only send packages within the USA at present. We hope to add Canada shortly.  However our sister company www.wickeduncle.co.uk do deliver in the UK.

So people can find what they are looking for faster.  We separate age and gender to make it easier for our customers to select a present. Many presents are in both genders, but our age categories are sorted by popularity and this is very different for Boys & Girls. The order of popularity is determined solely by our customers' purchases.

If people do not want to buy the popular items, because they are 'too pink', then there is still an excellent choice of presents available - they are just further down the page.  If something is in one gender section, but not in another, it is almost certainly because we have tried it and it didn't sell, it just wasn't a popular choice.

If you would rather see all the presents in an age category, just select "All" and then choose the age.

We use the information for the purpose of fulfilling your orders and reminding you about birthdays.  We also send emails out on a regular basis with details of new and interesting stuff and reminding you about important events, like the Holiday Season.

Two Thumbs way up!

I received an item that in my opinion was subpar and emailed Wicked Uncle. I was told it was one of their best sellers over thepast 5 years and the representative inquired about whether I was operating it properly. When I advised her that I had rechecked everything she’d suggested and I was still disappointed with the item and wished to return it, she issued a full refund, including shipping. Based on that kind of service I immediately bought a different item to give as a gift. Professional, and honorable service. Two thumbs way up!

The items came within a few days of ordering but I wish that I had gotten notice of delivery. The package sat in my mailbox for a few days becauseI did not realize that it had arrived.Our Response:Hello, we do send out a tracking email with each order when it ships. Perhaps it landed in your junk/spam folder?

Excellent customer service

Update to my original 1-star review below: Changing my review to 5-stars due to stellar customer service in determining what happened to my order. The mistake was onthe part of the USPS and after speaking with them, the item arrived the next day. Wicked Uncle's customer service went above and beyond to help resolve the problem. Also, the plush corgi dog is well made and currently being loved by my daughter. Thank you! -------------------------------------------- This review is not about the item because I have not received it yet. This review is concerning the shipping and delivery. I ordered an item on July 1st for a birthday July 16th. I figured this would be plenty of time for it to arrive. Unfortunately, I assumed incorrectly as it is now late in the evening of July 15th and there is still no item. Tracking shows it has been sitting in the town where it needs to be delivered for NINE DAYS. I have lost all faith it will arrive in time for her birthday, what a waste. I understand delays can happen, but it has been over 2 weeks since it was shipped - unacceptable. I will not be ordering from this company in the future no matter what the quality of the gift turns out to be.
