Standing Fury Ferret Plush

TLDR: I've only ordered a plush ferret so I can't speak to the quality of their other merch. As for plushes though, they're not peddling trash but keep an eye out for sales/coupons cause the quality doesn't warrant the price. Also, expect to put in a little TLC work when they arrive and be sure to check for embroidered plastic bits and give them a wash before giving to children. Great customer service in case of returns. Full review: Purchased the standing furry ferret plush (brown version) and finally received it today. The initial wait time was fine for an item coming from overseas but it was lost in transit the first time, due entirely to the incompetence of the USPS. However, much to their credit, kawaiies did work with me and I did receive a replacement. Also, the replacement process was a breeze - the staff was equal parts understanding & helpful and I was given regular updates as things progressed. As for the actual plush, it's cute and I've definitely seen worse, but I was expecting much more for the price. Quick version: the materials are obviously on the cheaper side and the production quality leaves much to be desired. Long version: The materials aren't horrible but are obviously on the cheaper side, good enough to look great in a photo but a little sad when you actually have the thing in hand. There's also this little patch of fur under the chin that I think is supposed to look fluffier but is a material I've seen on dirt cheap crane game plushes - it just looks tacky and out of place. As for the production faults: there are several places where the stitching pins down the fur which just looks objectively bad and also makes the seams super visible. The cut of the fur is just choppy in certain areas. I also found several tiny pieces of plastic remaining from (I assume) the embroidery process and my hands felt grimy after reshaping the plush. Overall, nothing is really a deal breaker here, and most of it is pretty easily fixed with a little TLC but kinda just feels like there's little to no QA pass during production. I also have some issues with the shipping. When I placed my order, shipping was twice the price as other small, independent overseas companies that I've ordered much bigger and heavier items from recently and there was no insurable shipping option. I also feel that plushes that aren't super simple and basic like squishmallows need to be packaged and shipped better to preserve their shape.
