We intend to collect shipping closer to fulfillment to ensure you are charged an accurate rate.
Please note that these values are only estimates. Shipping is calculated by the distance your package needs to travel, the size, and the weight. The shipping fee will be charged separately from your pledge.
As many of you may know, significant tariffs have been implemented on all Chinese imports. These tariffs are charged to the importer (me) upon the product's arrival to the United States. My plushies are manufactured in China and they will be affected if the tariffs remain in place by the time they arrive in October/November.
Since the situation is ever changing, I decided to continue forward with this project without increasing my prices. However, if the tariffs stay as high as they are currently, I will need to charge additional shipping fees to offset the extremely high tariff costs. The fee will be small ($5-6). This tariff fee would not be charged until fulfillment time. Obviously, this is not something I would like to do as I would like to keep my prices as low as possible.
If the tariffs are removed before the plushies arrive to me, this will no longer be a concern. I will continue to monitor the situation and brainstorm ideas to keep costs down.
TARIFF UPDATE: Currently, the tariffs on China have been decreased to 30%. This is more feasible and as long as the tariffs are not increased, there will be no tariff fee charged with shipping.
Hello everyone!! My name is Zoe and I am the founder of Winky's Whimsies. My sister and I started Winky's Whimsies in 2022 after my childhood dog, Winky, was diagnosed with diabetes as a way to help pay for his medical expenses. We started out by packing orders out of our living room, but now we have expanded into two warehouse spaces! Since 2022, we have fulfilled over 25,000 orders out of our Los Angeles warehouse!!
I have spent the last three years designing different products and having them manufactured, particularly different fidget toys. Earlier this year, we released our first plushie line called Fruity Felines. Here is a picture of all of them at their fruit stand!
The original Fruity Feline Bunch!
Fun Fact! I have five cats, which is why I mostly design kitty plushies. Each of them have a plushie named after them! Can you guess which ones? ;)
You can find us on our website. We are also on Instagram, Youtube, Facebook, and TikTok @winkyswhimsies
I wouldn't be where I am today without my amazing customers! Thank you all for the endless support <3
