PLEASE NOTE: This is a WEB STORE only I do not have a Brick and Mortar Storefront - I work from home and my insurance and town ordinances do not allow customers to come to the house.

Teddy Bears (all types - including Memory/Memorial and Keepsake) - Orders placed after NOVEMBER 1st are not guaranteed to be delivered in time for Christmas UNLESS I personally tell you that it will be shipped in time per the post office schedule - once it leaves my hands I have no control.  Please check with me when ordering after October 31st as some years the cut-off is later and sometimes it's sooner it just depends on the order volume.

From Dec 19th till January 5th I will not be shipping any packages. This is so I can take a much needed break and also do my end of year inventory and taxes.  Orders will still be taken on the website as it never closes.

Wholesale & Custom Orders placed after December 1st may not arrive in time for Christmas - please contact us before ordering! Thank you!

Clothing scraps for Memory / Memorial Bears are NOT returned so please only send what is needed for your bear (s).

 

Q: Can I Cancel my order?
Not without incurring fees as once you finalize your order it is in process and nothing can be added or removed. Regular Orders cancelled will incur a 20% Restocking Fee . Remember once you click the finalize button on the checkout cart you have agreed to the terms of the sale.

NOTE All CUSTOM ORDERS (INCLUDES TEDDY BEARS) AND WHOLESALE ORDERS will incur a 50% restocking fee as these are custom made to order items.

Q: Do you accept orders from anyone under the age of 18?
No due to legal issues we cannot accept orders from anyone under the age of 18 if you would like to place an order you must get an adult to place the order for you using their name in the ordering section and then putting your name in the ship to.

Q: What is your Wholesale Orders Lead Time ?
A: All Wholesale Orders require a MINIMUM of 2 weeks LEAD TIME before they are ready to ship. Lead time will be longer on large orders and if it is the busy Holiday season. Please contact me with any special request or special needs before ordering.

Q: What Shipping Methods are available?  At this time all of our products have free shipping so the cart will not charge you shipping nor will it let you choose a shipping method. I ship the fastest and least expensive way with each and every order insured with a tracking number to protect your investment. PLEASE NOTE ALL FRAGRANCES OILS MUST SHIP UPS SO IF YOU HAVE A PO BOX AND NOT A REGULAR STREET ADDRESS YOU CANNOT ORDER FRAGRANCE/REFRESHER OILS.

Another Shipping Policy that you must be aware of is: if you give me the wrong shipping address for yourself or to send to someone else and your package is returned to me because of your error you will be responsible for the extra shipping cost to resend the package. Also note that if you or your recipient refuse shipment you will not receive a refund until I speak with you personally as to why you refused the shipment and if a refund is then given it will be minus shipping costs that I incurred.

Q: I'm not comfortable using my Credit Card online so how do I order?

A: When you place an order you have an option to choose Credit Card pay by phone. When you choose this option the receipt for your order will have instructions for calling in your Credit Card Information. Please be assured that all information given on this site is done through an SSL secure server with 128 bit encryption and all information given to me over the phone or on the website is only seen and handled by me.

Q: What Payment Methods do you accept?
 A: US FUNDS ONLY - Visa, MasterCard, Discover, PayPal and Money Orders - US FUNDS ONLY (For the FULL AMOUNT - if your money order comes without the full amount - your order will be not be worked on until payment in full is received - sorry that I have to do this but too many people are "OOPS! I sent my money order for too less!" and then not following thru with payment.)Thank you!

PLEASE NOTE THAT I RESERVE THE RIGHT FOR ALL CREDIT CARDS THAT ARE DECLINED WHEN PROCESSED TO CHARGE AN ADDITIONAL $2.00 HANDLING FEE TO YOUR ORDER FOR EVERY TIME YOU ASK ME TO PUT THE CARD THROUGH as I am charged a fee for every declined card entered.

 

Q: How Secure is this site?

My Shopping Cart is SSL 128 bit encrypted so all information is secure. I am the only one who has access to any personal information. Whenever you see the lock on the page or the https in your browser address bar you know you are safe.

 

Q: What is your Privacy Policy? Customer Support

A: I never sell my customers information to anyone and the only time I would contact you would be concerning questions or problems about your order. I do sometimes send coupons to customers or newsletters with sales going on. This can be done by mail and or email but it is done on an individual basis by me not some other company.

Q: What is your Return Policy?

Since the nature of my products are mainly Personal Items (Bath and Body) and I cannot insure the purity of the product once it has left my hands and my products are "Custom Ordered" or "Made when Ordered" I do not accept returns. If the product warrants return (there is a real problem with the quality of the product) then I will of course issue a return order number to you to send the product back. You the customer will be responsible for all shipping cost on the return and any refunds issued for products will be minus the original charges of shipping/handling/packing costs. Please note that I want you to be happy but unlike Wal-mart or any other large chain store you cannot return something just because you decide it's not what you wanted after all as I cannot resell Bath and Body Products per the FDA.

I handle all returns on a personal basis. Please do not return an item until you have contacted me as no refund will be given without a RTN Number.  Please be sure when you press the finalize button as you are entering a legal and binding sales contract. Thank you!

Q: What if I want to ship my order as a gift or part of my order?
If you would like your entire order shipped to another person then please put their address in the ship to information in the shopping cart section and your information in the Bill To section of the shopping cart. ( NO ORDERS OUTSIDE OF USA UNLESS THEY ARE APO OR FPO ADDRESSES. ALSO WE DO NOT SHIP TO CLEARING HOUSES THAT ULTIMATELY SHIP TO OVERSEAS).
If you want to send part of an order to a different address  please make SEPARATE ORDERS for each Ship To address - I cannot split orders between addresses any other way than this.

Please feel free to CONTACT ME for questions not answered here or phone from 10 am to 6 pm with questions: (NO SALESMAN CALLS PLEASE!!! I AM ON THE DO NOT CALL REGISTRY and If I want or need to purchase anything I will call you! THANK YOU for understanding and leaving my phone open for my Customers to reach me.) (740) 852-3090 (10 am - 6 pm weekdays only- WEEKENDS ARE FAMILY TIME - please respect this).
Thank you

Remember Finalizing your order means you have read and agree with the policies (terms) on this page.
