Wrong animal but they sent a replacement
I ordered one of their giant plush dogs as a prop in my film. The order was unique because the giant 5'5" dog needed to be shipped to the Czech Republic where we were shooting. At first I got very worried because 2 weeks passed and I did not get a shipping confirmation and also no one was answering my emails! But when I called, the man on the phone explained that there was an issue with the stuffing machine... okay, so I waited a few more days to get my shipping confirmation and still nothing. Called again, there was an issue with the customs report for the shipping. Fair enough. Eventually i got the shipping confirmation and my giant animal arrived in Czech Republic 2 weeks later - yay! BUT it was the wrong animal!!!!! they sent me a bear instead of a dog by mistake! Unfortunately, my film really needed a dog, so I called Big Plush again to ask for a refund. My film was shooting in 10 days and I had a giant bear, not the dog I needed. To their credit, they did everything they could to fix the issue. Instead of giving me a refund, they mailed me a giant dog (the correct one) on express all the way to Europe and it arrived 1 day before we started to shoot the film! Amazing! It would have been cheaper for them to refund me, but they really wanted to help me get the right animal for my movie. If you have concerns about this company, don't worry. they aren't a fraud, but they are under-staffed and a bit disorganized. They don't answer their emails, but they DO answer their calls and they are very nice. My advice to order from Big Plush, but follow up with them via phone call to make sure that your order is really on its way.
