Polokwane is the capital of Limpopo.
Toys R Us in South Africa is operated under licence by a South African group, separately from the international business, so its trading position here differs from what you may read about the brand elsewhere.
Toys must carry age warnings and safety marking, and a product that has been recalled should be returned to the retailer for a full refund. Recalls are published by the National Consumer Commission.
This page covers how to contact Toys R Us South Africa in South Africa. The details below were taken from the official Toys R Us South Africa contact page rather than from any third-party directory.
ContactDetails.co.za is an independent directory. We are not Toys R Us South Africa and cannot act on your behalf. Everything on this page is a routing aid so you reach the right official channel quickly.

Self-service options before you call
- Check the official site at toysrus.co.za, which carries the current contact details and any online enquiry form.
- WhatsApp on 081 335 3005, which works over wifi and leaves you a written record.
- Email to [email protected], which gives you a written record of what you asked and when.
- Calling outside peak times. Monday mornings and the hour after 17:00 are usually the worst for South African contact centres.
What to have ready before you call
- A clear one line summary of what you need resolved.
- Your account, order or reference number if you already have one.
- The identity document or account holder details, since most South African providers verify who you are before discussing an account.
- Dates, amounts and any error message exactly as it appeared.
- A pen and paper for the reference number. Ask for one every time, because without it a follow up call starts from nothing.
Buying appliances and electronics
- Six months is the retailer’s window. Goods that fail within it go back to the shop for repair, replacement or refund, and the shop may not redirect you to the manufacturer.
- An extended warranty is a separate product, often insurance, with its own terms and its own administrator. Ask what it adds beyond the rights you already have.
- Keep the box and the till slip. Serial numbers, proof of purchase and original packaging are what a warranty claim turns on.
- Delivery damage must be noted on the delivery note before you sign. Signing an unmarked note makes a later claim considerably harder.
- Installation is usually separate from the sale. A television mounted badly or a stove wired by someone unregistered is a different party’s fault, and electrical work needs a certificate of compliance.
For a recalled product, return it to the retailer for a full refund. Recalls are published by the National Consumer Commission, which maintains the national recall record.
Complaints and escalation
If a first call does not resolve the matter, escalate through the store first, then the chain’s own customer care, in writing and with the till slip and a reference number. Unresolved consumer complaints go to the Consumer Goods and Services Ombud on 0860 000 272, free of charge, or by WhatsApp on 081 335 3005. The National Consumer Commission on 012 065 1940 handles contraventions of the Consumer Protection Act itself.
Keep a short written log of each contact: the date, the channel you used, the name of the agent and the reference number. Most consumer complaint processes ask for exactly that history, and having it ready is usually the difference between a fast resolution and starting over.
Avoiding fake Toys R Us South Africa contact numbers
Contact details for well known South African brands are a common target for impersonation. Numbers that look official appear in search ads, social media replies and cloned websites, and the person answering is not Toys R Us South Africa.
- Reach Toys R Us South Africa through the official site at toysrus.co.za rather than through a number in a search advert or a social media reply.
- Toys R Us South Africa will never ask you for your full card number, PIN, CVV, online banking password or a one time PIN. Nobody legitimate needs those to help you.
- Treat any caller who creates urgency, asks you to install remote access software, or asks you to move money to a safe account as fraudulent, and end the call.
- If you are unsure whether a call was genuine, hang up and dial the official number yourself rather than calling back a number the caller gave you.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Toys R Us South Africa contact number?
The routes are listed in the table above, with what each one is for. The main route is 087 234 8697. Confirm it on toysrus.co.za before relying on it, since numbers are changed from time to time.
How do I know a Toys R Us South Africa number is genuine?
Check it against the official site at toysrus.co.za. A number that only appears in a search advert, a social media reply or a third-party directory should not be trusted for anything involving your account, your money or your identity document.
What should I do if nobody resolves my query?
Ask for the complaint reference and the escalation path on your first call, then follow the escalation route described above. Keep the dates, agent names and reference numbers, because every formal complaint process will ask for them.
Can ContactDetails.co.za resolve this for me?
No. We are an independent directory, not Toys R Us South Africa, and we have no access to your account. Everything here is a routing aid so that you reach the correct official channel with the right information in hand.
Is there a cost to calling these numbers?
South African 0860 and 0861 numbers are charged at a share-call or standard rate depending on your provider, and 0800 numbers are toll free from a landline. Calls from a mobile are billed at your own operator’s rate, so check your plan if cost matters.
