I’ve written a lot about K’NEX over the last 6 months. Frankly when K’NEX first came out I was not a fan. How could anyone think they could replace Legos? However I have been won over. They are not a replacement, they are in addition to Legos. My grand kids have both and they enjoy both. K”NEX has made a big push in the STEM education arena. I laud that as they supply good manuals and plenty of imaginative suggestions for their kits. This particular kit is not STEM centric but it supplies a whopping 750 pieces to further fuel the imagination. My grand kids love these.
K’NEX
claims they are willing to replace broken or lost parts, just call them. I called at 2:45 PM on a Friday afternoon and
was on hold for 5 minutes before I hung up.
It’s possible they actually do respond to phone calls but I can’t verify
that and I am unwilling to sit on hold to discover the answer. In that aspect K’NEX is as disappointing as
most other companies claiming to be customer friendly. Claims and reality are often quite different.
Considering
what is normal for customer service today, I can’t ding them for not being any
better than anyone else.
