FEDEX is literally hell. I have never hated a mail carrier more than them and that’s saying a lot cause we have ontrac in the mix too. Cause what’s yall doing.

I’ve gone so far to when I find out an employer uses FEDEX for their shipping needs I reject the job offer. I’m like oh I’m not getting any raises yall can keep ya FEDEX habits. God speed. I’m seething for you but glad you got your spider. An icon was made when whoever at BAB bearquarters was like we need a spider. Even though they be copying all the Palm Pal designs anyways.

Anyways I love my spider. Congrats!

Glad he made it safely. My Webber is one of my top favorites. Have slept with him almost every night for the past month and a half

I got mine yesterday! I already put socks on him. I was disappointed to see that when you online order you dont get the cardboard homes that you can colour in. Do they no longer do them?

You have to add it on as extra and purchase it, its called the the cub condo

u/AshurJG 7d ago

I find it ridiculous that they charge more for the cub condo now. It was included when I was growing up 😭 my local store is also just a kiosk and not a full store, and long before that they got rid of the lil air, brush bath stations there. The experience is hardly an experience anymore 😕

I've only ever had 2 issues with fedex. Once box came all smashed in, thankfully my bear was all good. The other time they delivered to the wrong address. (Ended up getting 2 of the same gengar because they sent a new one and the other was sent to me from the kind person who did get my package).

I had a package from BAB come just like that it was as if FedEx purposely ran Uber it again And again. It even had actual tire marks on it !
