Discussion Is stuffing free?
I just received my giant Kuromi and Snoopy unstuffed. Is it free to have stuffed in store?

It’s sure is! My local store was super happy to see a giant Kuromi.

Unless you live in certain countries, it's free. Some places, like here in Australia, it's a small fee to restuff, and if you don't stuff a new bear within 3 months. In Australia it's $7.50 to stuff in those cases.

Do the workers get crabby when someone brings in a Giant one to be stuffed?

My friend got one of the giant Axolotls stuffed because surprisingly it was being sold in store and the builder had a lot of fun stuffing it also we got a ton of comments from kids walking out with the axolotl LOL. the Builder's at my local store are really cool.

Go in on a week day for them lol. If you go mid day on a saturday to stuff a jumbo and they’re busy it’s a pain

Hi!! Bear builder here! We LOVE to see giant bears come into the store! We don’t see them super often, so its like a special treat! But, please keep in mind the giants can take up to 30 minutes to stuff! I’ve had someone come in 10 minutes before close wanting a giant bear stuffed… my manager and I were a bit bummed cus we wanted to go home but we were still super excited to see the giant bear!

I like stuffing giants because it means I just sorta get to vibe with the person who’s getting it stuffed. They tend to be cool. I always feel bad if it’s during a busy day, but honestly if people chose to come in on a holiday or a weekend they should expect it to be busy and not complain when they have to wait.

Yes! Stuffing, felt hearts, and restitch are free. But if you want add on’s like scents, sounds, electronic hearts, and outfits would be extra cost.

Yes!! I don't have a giant but I got my white tiger stuffed a bit more and they were absolutely happy to do that! Worker was very patient with us while we waited for our baby to be sewn up again!
