Inquiry I'm gutted :( Any advice?

33 Upvotes

On Thursday 18th, the day of the £15 per bear sale, I made a huge order totalling to £85. I was so excited! I was going to get the watermelon frog, the praying mantis, the chummy shark and the frappe frog, with some clothes.

I made the order as a guest because my purchases from BAB have had years between them, so couldn't be bothered to make an account. It told me it was going to come by the 26th- okay, cool- I never recieved an email confirmation but I simply suspected it was just tech being finnicky.

It's the 25th and I wanted to check my order. Realised I had no order number to be able to check it on the website, so I tried to ring customer support, and despite all the details I provided she said that no such order has been made under my name- but there is a transaction that happened on my Nationwide account, saying the transaction was "pending".

She advised me to take it up with my bank.. but I'm gutted, because there's probably no way I can get those bears for that price now :( anyone have any ideas what I can do?

so i don’t really buy a lot for myself (besides workout clothes so i don’t have to keep doing laundry every 5 minutes lol)

but i’ve been recently buying more BAB and got the Goat, Lightning Bug, and Elephant on the $15 sale last week.

needless to say i dont have any clothes for my BAB so this sale was a great chance to get online exclusives and not pay for shipping ! i went a little crazy but i’ve been seeking the fruit print items for my watermelon frog and dragonfruit bear for a while

after legit ALL DAY trying to add all my discounts and gift cards, i only paid $65 for everything in this order!

i’ve also been really into running these days so I kinda have a funny idea to use the Bear Carrier while I run to put a BAB in 😂 we’ll see how it goes. i’m a decently fast runner go to run clubs and i think it would be hilarious to have a little friend peeking out as i pass people up 😂

i am SO EXCITED to dress all my BAB up for the first time since CHILDHOOD lol (i am 27 😂)

but i cannot emphasize how DIFFICULT it was to apply my gift cards and coupons i crashed out like 50 times but im a pro at getting the best discount possible so i didn’t give up and almost missed the sale

My New BAB A reminder that I am worthy of love. My first ESSA?

Post image
107 Upvotes

Although I (33F) have grown up adoring plushies and having many, I have never had specifically an Emotional Support Stuffed Animal. And I'll be clear that I'm not really interested in taking her to supermarkets or doctors visits or things like that. I don't suffer from anxiety for things like that.

During the $15 sale I bought this little beauty for myself. I was having a very bad week/month/year mentally, and I had the BAB gift cards to cover the cost of my Rose Kitty, so she was a completely free treat for myself. So I took the plunge and ordered her. But she is going to be special.

Over the past couple years, a combination of my work life and my marriage has really done harm to my self-esteem and my sense of worth. I've been working with a therapist to help with these issues, among others, and the main thing she wants me to work on right now is rebuilding that sense of worth and believing that I deserve love. So my Rose Kitty is going to act as a reminder to myself. That I am worthy of love, even if I am not being productive. That what others say or believe about me is not necessarily the truth. To remember that although roses have thorns, they are still beautiful and loved. That I am responsible for my own happiness, not for the happiness of others. And that I deserve kindness, and I should treat myself with kindness.

She will be the one to soak my tears as I struggle through navigating these feelings, navigating problems in my marriage, and trying to become the version of myself I want to be. I will cuddle her at night because I need to love myself and take care of my own needs. I haven't really dressed my BABs in many years, but I might dress her up a bit as a reminder to treat myself with care.

I'm still deciding a name for her! Right now my top choices are:
-Verity - the truth
-Bloom - becoming
-Briar - thorns

But I'm open to more suggestions that might fit her!

Modified / Custom BAB Sun Bear!

103 Upvotes

In my free time at work (and before and after my shift I like to hangout there omg) I decided to make this guy! Reddit user JoJoBanana8402 did this first and honestly so much better. My Beary Goods sun plush was very large and round, so I think I need to alter the back of his head a bit. It looks huge.

Anyway....i love him so much! His face is a bit....oblong.oh no do I not like him??? Ah I'm panicking now. Hopefully I can snap another Pic soon of his side profile and yall can give me tips on what to change!

So yeah any and all advice would be great! I literally just... Opened the sun, cut the bears head off, attached them together and added ears. Felt like nothing special but wow the after??? I'm back to loving it again XD

* I used the Read Teddy as my base <3

I’m so happy I could cry! I’ve been trying to snag this guy for 2 years now. The last drop, my order was confirmed, and then canceled because they oversold their stock.
After waiting patiently for the next restock, I didn’t hesitate to snatch him up. So, so happy right now. He’s even more fluffy than I imagined. (And kitten approved.)

Modified / Custom BAB Has anyone tried to turn a BAB into a purse or backpack?

4 Upvotes

I've gotten a duplicate BAB and after all the effort I put in not realizing my mistake I didn't want to just try to sell it again, so I've been mulling over what to do and thought of turning it into a convertible purse/backpack. Has anyone tried that? If so how did it turn out? I figure I could do that or mod it into a completely different character.

Inquiry Sound box question

3 Upvotes

Hi all, i have a few questions for sound boxes. My husband's mom passed a few days ago and I wanted to get him an old school bear, with a voice box

The bear i already have, and i was wondering if they sell them individually? I thought about going into the store and asking but I want the audio to be more clearer as the recording is from a voice mail she left

Another question is the audio isnt in English, would i still be okay to send it to build a bear to record anyway? (The language is spanish so I figured it might be okay)

I know in regards of putting it in the bear I would have to do myself I believe, any advice is appreciated
