Ordering
Which Teddy Bear?
If you’re not quite sure which bear is right for you, here are more details about each of the Bears from our Permanent Collection . If you want more help putting together just the right order, email me. I'm happy to help!
Do you take custom orders?
Sometimes. :)
I do take special orders for items you've seen in the shop in the past if I have capacity to get it in within a month or two (this excludes any pieces made in collaboration with other brand/makers). A $30 special order fee is added to any order that's made outside the usual workflow.
I do not take special requests for new patterns or specific animals. Keeping the process fun and open in the studio is what keeps me coming back... so new patterns come only when I'm feeling inspired.
Order Edits or Cancellations...
I go out of my way to assist customers and in general can support you with adjusting items, addresses, and other concerns. Don't hesitate to get in touch. Please include detailed instructions for the changes and your order number.
please note: LAUNCH DAYS
I accept cancellations via email within 1 hour of an order being placed, after that point cancellations are subject to a restocking fee
of $15 or 05% whichever is greater.
Yes! I am happy to Combine or Hold Orders...
I'm always happy to combine multiple orders or hold your order until a later ship date (max 3 month). Please email me with your order numbers and include instructions on how I can help. Less work for our postal carriers not to mention our environment sounds like a task worth the extra work on my end! :)
Shipping
Can I pick up an order from your Studio?
Yes! Use code: LOCAL for local pick-up in South Minneapolis. Please leave a phone number at checkout so we can coordinate a pickup via text.
How long does it take orders to ship?
Orders generally ship within 1-2 business days, with occasional longer delays. I pack and ship all parcels in my Minneapolis studio. Please email me if you have any questions or concerns.
Domestic Shipping details...
All domestic orders are shipped from my Minneapolis studio. All shipping options will propagate at checkout including USPS and UPS. All services include tracking, but there is no insurance on standard shipping. If you’d prefer another method, would like to require a signature or insurance- please make a note at checkout and email us to make other arrangements.
Special shipping notes for Canada :)
Duties and taxes are included in shipping via USPS First Class only.
All other carriers will require customer to pay duties and taxes once the parcel has arrived. There is an option to prepay duties and taxes via UPS as well. Please email me with your order number and instructions if you'd like help!
International Shipping details...
International orders ship via UPS by default. Economy USPS is a less costly options but may be unreliable with poor tracking depending where you're shipping to.
- UPS Expedited: Arrives in 3-7 days, includes tracking, insurance, and clears customs easily.
- USPS Economy: Arrives in 7-14 days, unreliable tracking, no insurance, and the service varies widely based on the recipients location. If you like to discuss shipping via USPS Economy instead of UPS Expedited please email me.
Customs and Taxes
- Recipients is responsible for all import taxes and customs duties.
- You can prepay these fees by emailing your order number. I'm happy to help!

Press Inquires...
I'd love to talk! I'm always happy to provide images specific to your needs... get in touch :)
Are you taking Wholesale accounts?
Sadly over the last few years my production has changed dramatically. I'm no longer working in India or Peru, and taking wholesale orders for the mohair teddy bears just doesn't make sense with my slim margins. If you'd still like to talk... get in touch!
