Last Christmas, I was looking for unique, SAFE, toys to give to my son, niece, and godson, who are all born within the same year. Due to time constraints - and a dislike of shopping (at any time of the year) - a starting searching for gift ideas on the Web, hoping to find some store in our city that could meet my needs. While searching, I happened upon Ape to Zebra. I was SO impressed with the selection, the organization, the information on this website. The biggest bonus: it was a Canadian company! As Id left things a little late for my comfort - Im usually done the bulk of my Christmas shopping before the beginning of December - I was a little concerned about the gifts arriving on time. However, they were shipped out the same day and I got a PHONE call from Cornel confirming it was on its way. I was impressed. I was even more impressed when the toys I purchased arrived a few short days later. They were all so beautiful - it took all my will power to not break them open to play with them myself! I really appreciated this "one-stop shop", which gave me the opportunity to find great gifts, from the comfort of my home - no running around town, which is a bonus now with high gas prices! Ive already been browsing the site for this years Christmas gifts. My only problem - there are just too many beautiful choices! Joelle from Winnipeg, Canada

I have never bought anything over the internet before so I was really nervous. After I sent my order in I thought, well I may have signed my life away...then I received an e-mail confirming the shipping and how to track my package. I received it exactly when you said I would and I was so pleased with the packaging and information. Thank you for the great selection of safe toys. I find your webpage easy to use and fun to review. Leigh-Ann from Lake Country, Canada

Great customer service Dear Cornel, Thank you very much for your prompt reply and your call yesterday! I enjoyed our conversation very much. It is really good to know that one can order from your toy store with a confidence in a great customer service, and I will be more than happy to pass a word about your store among my fellows and friends with babies and small children who love and appreciate European and north American-made toys. Marina from Lafayette, California, USA

great store, great service, very high quality of the toys. Oleksandra from Milton, Canada

Great selection of toys with competitive pricing. Prompt shipping with no hassles. N from Thornhill, Canada

Search by made in… is greatly appreciated!!! Our family greatly appreciates your sites ability to search by the country in which the item was made. We had fantasized that such a site existed, and were all wonderfully amazed and encouraged when we found your site. Sadly, our finances prohibit us from buying the dozens of items that we would like. Thank you very much for a great toy store. Roger from Toronto, USA

My mother recommended Ape2Zebra to me after buying a toy there for my son, as the owners are genuinely nice folks who take time to handpick their products giving thought to each choice. I couldnt agree more and have found that as a result of this their product selection and knowledge are exceptional. I have also had first-hand experience with their customer service when we had to return an item, and found that it is also exceptional. I have recommended them to a few friends who are always pleasantly surprised at how quickly their gifts arrive at their door. I highly recommend shopping here! Lynn from Toronto, Canada

Ape to Zebra is a great resource for wooden and alternative toys. The number of products that are available is always impressive. And unlike other online stores of wooden toys, Ape to Zebra always has a clear list and description of the toys they have in stock. These descriptions always include information about the age and developmental stage for which the toy is appropriate. The price of the toys is comparable to other stores, they ship fast and I love that it is Canadian! Candida from Halifax, Canada

I bought some toys for my granddaughter from your site 6 months ago,and was so impressed with the personal service and the quick delivery and the quality of the toys. Internet shopping is a wonderful thing for me,since I have a mobility problem,but I havent always found the products to be as described (at some other sites I have used). I can order from Ape2Zebra with confidence that I will get what I expect. I am so happy to have found this site. I have begun my Christmas shopping, and a friend who is expecting a baby will be getting gifts from your store. My only problem is that I want to buy everything! Thanks so much for a wonderful site Catherine from St. John's, Canada

I stumbled upon Ape 2 Zebra while searching the internet for non-toxic, environmentally sound baby toys. What I found was more than I ever expected! Ape 2 Zebra provides a fantastic listing of green toys for all age groups. Many of the toy companies use non-toxic materials and green manufacturing processes and its great to see where the toys are made. Best of all, many of the toys I ordered were the lowest price I had seen. On-line shopping is made easy with their step-by-step process and e-mail questions are promptly answered . I will continue shopping for my daughter and neice for years to come. Thank you for providing a place for parents to shop for toys that will protect our next generation, and last just as long! Alisia from Listowel, Canada

I love shopping at Ape to Zebra! The selection is outstanding, the customer service excellent! I have told alot of friends about this store and now they shop here too!
