They worked with me to rush my order. I will definitely be purchasing more products from them. The quality is great and the "personal touch" from the owner is not something that I am used to from purchasing products on-line, but other dot com companies should take lessons from them." "This is one of the coolest sites for shopping I've found. Shipping was quick, and the merchandise was absolutely wonderful! Thank You!" "Kathy was very prompt in responding to my order and in answering questions I had about her products. She shipped my order promptly and when it arrived, I felt that everything I ordered appeared as advertised (condition, description, size, etc.). I then went on to place a second order with Kathy and again found the same prompt, reliable service." "The item I ordered arrived within 3 business days -- absolutely wonderful! There were no problems......just a terrific product and excellent service! I highly recommend RealCoolToys!" "Real Cool Toys is a great site!! They responded immediately, made a special effort to select the particular choices I requested, and shipped promptly. They e-mailed me when it shipped, and sent the product within 48 hrs. On top of that, I LOVE the product!!! It is much better than I had expected. Not only would I recommend them, I'll use them myself, and frequently." "Kathy was responsive and helpful. We had a kick off meeting at work and with her helpful 'customer service' we were able to receive the products in time. Great job!!!" "I had a very last minute order, but realcooltoys.com rushed it to me without any problems. It was a very pleasant, successful interaction." "I thought they were really friendly! I placed an order and got an email the very next day about the status of my order. And it was from an actual person. Almost like shopping over the phone!" "The item I ordered was for my grandson's birthday. He was six and thinks he is a world class spider collector. I ordered him a spider picker-uper that was created in Ireland. This was the only US site I could find that supplied this item. He thinks it is wonderful. As a matter of fact, his father was pretty impressed too."
