2-Day & Overnight orders must be shipped to a physical addess and cannot be shipped to PO Boxes.
APO/FPO Orders: Orders shipping to U.S. Territories and APO/FPO/DPO sites generally take two to five weeks for delivery. Military APO/FPO/DPO Mail has unique transportation and handling requirements, which result in extended standard delivery time for online orders. Because Military APO/FPO/DPO Mail is transported outside of the U.S. to overseas locations, normal transit times are generally extended, causing longer delivery windows.
International Shipping: We happily ship worldwide. As many orders shipped internationally are subject to taxes, brokerage fees, customs duties, and fees levied by the destination country, all of Slumberkin's international orders are shipped Deliver Duties Paid (DDP) and is not the responsibility of the customer.
*Due to shipping carrier constraints we are not currently able to ship any orders, but not limited to Belarus, Russia or Ukraine. Please check with your local postal service to see if your area is affected.
Lost + Stalled Packages:
If your tracking information has reported a successful delivery but you have not received it please contact USPS at 1-800-222-1811. Please understand that we can’t take responsibility for lost/missing packages that have been successfully delivered to the shipping address provided with your order.

Returns & Exchanges:
ORDERS
Are items in my cart held until I check out?
No. Items in your cart are not held. All items go to the first to complete the checkout process.
Can you change my order before it has shipped?
Unfortunately, we do not have the ability to change your order after it is placed (for example, we can't change creatures, colors or Bundles). Please ensure that your order and shipping details are correct as we are not able to edit these once your order has been processed.
Combining Orders:
Unfortunately we are unable to hold or combine orders.
My order is a gift, can I include a personalized note?
You can add a personalized note to your order at checkout. There is a checkbox option to mark an item as a gift as well as a text box to enter a personalized message. We will print your note and include it with your shipment.
Can you honor a sales promotion on a purchase I recently made?
No. Unfortunately, we are unable to honor any price adjustments on orders made outside of the promotional period. Coupon codes must be applied before checking out and cannot be applied retroactively.
Sales Tax:
Sales Tax is a consumption tax and is generally charged on the sale of products from retailers to individual consumers. Each state sets their own sales tax rates and creates their own sales tax laws and guidelines. While Slumberkins is an online retailer, some states have determined we are required to collect and remit sales tax to continue to sell products to consumers in their state. Slumberkins does not keep any of the Sales Tax collected and it is passed directly to the state for which it was collected.
On June 21, 2018, The United States Supreme Court ruled 5-4 in South Dakota v. Wayfair that states can mandate that businesses without a physical presence in a state must collect and remit sales tax on transactions in the state.
Reference: South Dakota vs Wayfair

RequirementsGreat Britain Customers: As of 1/1/2021 we will be required by law to collect VAT Tax for all sales to GB where the consignment does not exceed £135 in value.

PRODUCTS
Are Slumberkins Safe for Infants?
What are Slumberkins made from?
Our Slumberkins are made of the softest silken fabric. Slumberkins are 100% polyester and stuffed with hypoallergenic fiberfill.
Where are Slumberkins made?
We are partnered with highly respected global production partners in different areas of China, Vietnam, Mexico, and the US. We are a part of ICTI's (International Council of Toy Industries) ethical toy program and only work with vendors who are a part of this group and compliant with the ICTI requirements which are regularly audited.

How do I care for my Slumberkin?
Do you take custom orders for Slumberkins?
We currently do not take custom orders for specific creatures or fabric colors not listed.
I've seen pictures of personalized Slumberkins with name embroidery. How do I order that?
We do not offer custom name embroidery on our website. You can reach out to your local embroidery shop to inquire about having a name tag made to be stitched onto your Slumberkin if this is something you are interested in.
Do you plan to release different Slumberkins in the future?
We put thought and passion into each design and skill building routine that accompanies each creature. We have multiple new Slumberkins in the works, watch for coming announcements!
What's the difference between Ultra Plush and Silken fabrics?
We often refer to our Slumberkins as being made from Ultra Plush or Silken fabrics. Ultra Plush refers to the fluffy, long-pile (length) fur that has a very soft, fluffy feel. Our Silken fabrics have a shorter fur pile (length) and have a silkier softness. We recommend that silken is best for babies in the teething stages.
I saw a color option on social media that I can't find on your website. Is it still available?
We do our best to keep up with the high demand for our cuddly creatures. Occasionally, we will sell out of a product and it will become backstock, or we may choose to discontinue it. For more information on all of the colors, both those available and those currently unavailable, please refer to our Color Guide.
What are Mystery Boxes?
Mystery Boxes contain misfits, Limited Editions and retirees. Mystery box items are final sale and cannot be returned or exchanged, except in cases of defect.
Misfit Slumberkins have packaging or production flaws that do not affect the integrity and safety of the Slumberkin, including damaged packaging, embroidery flaws, and other similar features that make these characters truly one of a kind.
