A courier mixup resulted in a classic game of “Cluedo: Courier Edition”, however, I can confidently say that the customer service was excellent and there is a wonderful variety of products available for purchase. Thank you Daniella and team for going above and beyond!

I bought three of the tiny creatures baby toys to send to a friend in America. They are extremely cute and a perfect size for a young baby. I have had a good pull at the eyes and they are secure. Curiosity African Boutique were very proactive in informing me that they had had difficulties with a certain courier company and that there would be a slight delay in delivery. The package came within days and I was delighted with the contents . I would highly recommend this company. Excellent service!
