The story behind Mad Max's Bargains
Meet Max and Holly, the local family dedicated to bringing joy to playrooms with top-quality toys, pocket-money treats, and unbeatable prices.
Who is Mad Max?
He is Max, my husband and the passionate collector behind the shop. I am Holly, and if you have shopped with us at H&K Aquatics, you will already know a little about our family.
Starting H&K Aquatics gave me the chance to turn my love of shrimp keeping into a business. I wanted Max to have that same opportunity. He gets just as thrilled finding a pocket-money toy for under a pound as he does unboxing a massive Hot Wheels set. We started from home with our first batches of stock, took our own photos, and were thrilled when the first orders arrived.
How do we keep prices so low?
We are a small, family-run online toy store without the massive overheads of a high-street showroom. Max hunts down genuine bargains from trusted wholesalers, always keeping family budgets in mind.
When we secure a great wholesale deal, we pass those direct savings on to you. That is how we offer both pocket-money treats and big boxed presents at prices often lower than high-street retailers.
Shop local, collect in person
If you live in or around Derbyshire, you do not have to pay for shipping. With our click and collect service, you can easily pick up your order directly from us and save on delivery fees.
Simply message us before checking out, and we will arrange a convenient collection time. Every single purchase helps our small family business grow, and we cannot wait to welcome both familiar and new faces.
"Our promise is simple. We will only call it a bargain if we would be happy to pay that price ourselves."
