I ordered 2 folders. For $79.99.
I put in names and dates requested. A promt came up to order a third for $20.00. I clicked and that was it. They never took information on 3rd.
I eventually get 2 in the mail. 1 had wrong date. I emailed immediately. They have not responded. Sent multiple emails,with no response. So I paid for 3. Got 1 correct ,1 wrong and one is missing.

Incorrect information. Worthless piece of rubbish.

I did not receive one of my items. The content of the first item is categorically incorrect. Would not recommend.

Poorly executed, poorly researched, lazy and lacklustre rubbish

Email I sent to the company upon receiving my order (I was refused a refund): Hello,I spent £29.99 on a ‘Your Day in History’ pack for my dad (order #15800) and I have to say I’m seriously disappointed. I expected far more interesting and niche facts - indeed, I expected far more facts in general - than what has been received. For eg - stating “FASHION TREND: Mini skirts defined British fashion in the swinging sixties” is neither revelatory nor specifically relevant even to the year that he was born (1967). It’s not even an interesting standalone fact. I’m also pretty appalled that there is a whole section under Economy, where space has actually been allocated on the page beset in red ink (as if this is a particularly important bit), which reads: “Price of a Freddo: Not yet introduced (launched in 1973)”.I’m unsure whether I actually have to explain the problem with this one. If something was not actually yet even in existence, why is it being allocated space and prominence on an already limited page which is supposed to provide information on the contemporary economy in 1967? I understand that ‘the price of a freddo’ has become a tongue-in-cheek reference point used by - frankly - millennials to trace inflation. My dad is not a millennial. He would not get this reference or feeble attempt at a joke and frankly I would feel embarrassed to hand him this piece of paper as a birthday present. For which reason, I am not going to do so. I was genuinely excited about this as a gift as I thought the concept had a lot of potential. However, I find the execution to be extremely poor, lacklustre and lazy. I want a full refund as I genuinely feel that I was oversold this product - and for a hefty price too. Extremely disappointed.

Scammers - don't waste your money

I bought this for my husband as a Christmas present. He thought it was a joke. Thank God he didn’t know how much I paid for this absolute rubbish.My husband's grandfather was a Polish immigrant. The English legacy going back to the 12th century is therefore complete fabrication.They state the product is “housed in a premium presentation folder.” What exactly is “premium” about a coloured cardboard folder?“Handmade & Researched Just for You“Every pack is carefully researched and handcrafted by our UK-based team to ensure historical accuracy and a personal touch.”Total nonsense.“Is this suitable for all surnames?Absolutely. Whether your surname is the most common or the rarest, every pack is carefully crafted to celebrate its origin, meaning, and journey through history.How is the information researched?Each order is individually researched and assembled by our UK-based team using trusted historical archives and data sources.”Utter garbage.And 482/482 5 star reviews on their website. Read into that what you will.No response received, none expected.If you want to throw away £30 of your money go out and get drunk instead, at least you'll have fun until you're sober.

Failed to deliver on time

Failed to deliver on time, i.e. for a person's birthday, although I ordered 2 weeks in advance. It took them almost a month to finally send, and by that time the thing was useless already.

AVOID AVOID AVOID

I ordered the surname pack for £29.99 paid for it by PayPal less than 12hours later I got a notification saying it had been delivered by Royal Mail but no delivery was made , and after checking the so called tracking app it appears that the delivery was delivered at 01-15 hours on the Sunday morning???contacting the seller they said to check with neighbours in case it was delivered to them , regardless of the fact that the notification was sent out at three in the morning??.After getting back in touch with them and saying that if it was delivered by Royal Mail to a neighbour I should have received a red notice card from Royal Mail.The case is now with PayPal and because of lack of communication from the seller it will now be escalated to a claim.I’m glad that I used PayPal because of the payment promise for money back I feel sorry for the unfortunate people who have no credit card and pay through their bank.Avoid using this service because it seems to be a Scam and the seller is telling blatant lies.After a very short sharp email from myself the seller contradicted themselves by saying that they had posted it on the 17/12/25 and not as they mentioned that it was posted on the 13/12/25.May I recommend that they should change their name to Pinocchio trading.They may think that everyone is gullible.

Poo product

Ordered two packs early december one for my wife and one myself. Mine arrived in 10 days (not impressed with quality or content) but nothing for my wife (was intended as an xmas gift) took 2 months emailing before it arrived.. Of course they do reply with apologies and promises to sort it etc etc, even send (dubious) tracking numbers, definitely not worth the money.. In short seems a borderline scam, poor quality product and timewasting customer service. Save your money - dont bother.

No response to emails when I have a genuine question about my order. No other means of contact available. Non existent customer service - AVOID at all costs.

Poor and slow delivery and communications. Orders intime for recipients birthday but delivery was delayed. Difficult to deal with. Edit: Even though A Day In History have replied to this review, given the review was made on 8th December and their reply arrived on 23rd January, this only reinforces my review and the poor and slow communications they have.
