About Build-A-Bear

The story of Build-A-Bear began with a magical idea: to create a place where kids could bring their own furry friends to life. The first Build-A-Bear Workshop opened its doors in 1997, offering a one-of-a-kind experience that has since flourished into a global phenomenon.

Far beyond a fleeting trend, Build-A-Bear has become a cherished part of two generations, expanding its reach from physical retail to an innovative online experience and even an entertainment division. The brand's core mission remains the same: to add a little more heart to life.

Poor service

Poor customer service combined with very expensive items is unacceptable. The products are overpriced, especially considering that similar quality can easily be found online for much less. Expensive items should come with a high standard of service, but unfortunately, the service provided did not meet even basic expectations.

Overpriced

Overpriced. If you’re thinking about buying the scent, don’t. You can barely even smell it, so it was a complete waste of money. Also, if you’re thinking about buying clothes make sure they’ll fit what plush you pick out. I personally think they should maybe give a warning that some things won’t fit some plushies. I bought a hat for the capybara and it does not stay on at all. Also another waste of money. For how expensive it is, it’s pretty meh of a product. Will probably not buy another in the future.

I spent $300 online for two giant…

I spent $300 online for two giant Chococats and two advent calendars so i didn't have to make the drive to the mall and so my girls had a Christmas surprise. I received the shipment last night open the box and see only one Chococat, removed that one and the other one is unstuffed under the stuffed one. I also never received any email confirmation or shipment email so good thing i screen shot all my order receipts with order number. I called to get a replacement and was informed that they are out of stock but available at the store. Ibwas told i can bring it to the store and get it stuffed for free..WOW ya i already paid to have it stuffed so your not giving me anything I didn't already pay for and on top of that its a big inconvenience…hence why i ordered it to be shipped in the first place!!! They are also $30 more online now if they were available to ship plus i would have to pay $10 for shipping also. This place sucks never again!!! They tried to give me a $10 credit for the inconvenience, i told them to keep it..

Don’t buy from them online

Disappointing experience from start to finish. I was lucky enough to get an order in for the emo axolotl before they sold out. However I didn’t receive any order confirmation from BAB. I set up a BAB account hoping it would make my order appear but it didn’t. I contacted them via their form the next day and then called their helpline. I’m reluctant to say this but the person on the helpline was extremely difficult to understand which made the whole experience so much harder. I managed to get confirmation that my order had been accepted and she gave me my order number and assured me dispatch and tracking emails would follow. I kept trying to check my order status with the number they gave me but the page just did nothing after clicking submit.I waited but didn’t receive anything except the delayed responses to my original question from before I called. I ended up replying to one of these emails asking for an update. No reply. Today (Friday) I received an email from DPD regarding a totally different parcel. When I clicked on the tracking for that one, I was able to see my history in the app and saw that my BAB parcel was on there and said it was delivered on the Tuesday! I saw a photo and my heart sank. It had been left in the back garden, which would be fine, if we knew it was out there and were able to get it promptly. We had no idea it was out there as we’d had no communication whatsoever. Not from DPD and not from BAB. So it was left for days in the rain. I messaged DPD to ask why they never alerted me to my parcel and unfortunately was only able to get the bot responses BUT it did confirm that if they haven’t sent an email it’s because the sender didn’t pass that detail on. The fact that I had no order confirmation, no dispatch email, tracking or even delivered notification from BAB, says to me that it was the case and entirely BAB’s fault. As you can imagine the parcel was soaked through. The cardboard box tore as it was lifted and the toys inside were soaked through. All the tags, certificates were mush. I called the BAB helpline and unfortunately spoke to the same lady as before and tried to relay all the info as clearly as I could. It was a very frustrating phone call as she didn’t seem to understand what I meant at all and I struggled to make out what she was saying. Eventually we got there and she offered me a £5 gift card for each toy. Frustrated at the lack of explanation as to why I never got any emails from them and disappointed with their lack of care, I told them I had no intention of ever buying from them again and just wanted to be properly compensated. She said I would have to return the parcel. Apart from the fact the parcel is mush and the contents heavy with wet - these items are now totally sold out! So completely irreplaceable. I’m ok with trying to wash and dry them and hopefully they come out ok but they won’t ever be as good as new again.I don’t understand how the online side of this company is so bad when the shops are a such pleasure to deal with. I’ll be happy to change this review if they do reach out and make this right but as it stands I cannot recommend buying from them online.

Absolutely terrible customer service

Absolutely terrible customer service. I need an order cancelled as it will not arrive on time for Christmas and I can get then items I need elsewhere so my daughter is not disappointed by Santa. The order has not processed, paid for or shipped and it has been 5 days. I spoke to an agent online that said it could not be cancelled. The agent on the phone said it could not be cancelled because the order has been shipped….yet I have not paid for the order yet (payment has not been processed or gone through). Therefore it has not been shipped. He said it’s been shipped buy also said the last update he had was on the day I placed the order. I demanded a tracking number by the end of today and have not received one and was also cut off of an online chat with an agent without resolution. Do NOT order online from build a bear US. Absolutely horrendous.

Absolutely disgusted!!!

When you ask for an item to be delivered to your property, you expect it to arrive, unless there are circumstances that doesn’t warrant it. Waiting for a giant plush toy to turn up, and it’s been sent to a store, with a pickup box. I don’t recall, asking for this!! Shipping fees and delivery costs, don’t seem to matter. Won’t use them again!!!

Refuse to honour their own gift…

Refuse to honour their own gift vouchers! My 3 kids under 10 attended with their Xmas present vouchers to build bears, only to be told by staff that 1 of the vouchers was a “web only voucher” that was unable to be used in store whatsoever. All vouchers were purchased as gifts online. Staff offered no solution, other than to pay cash and purchase an in-store voucher online, using the web store voucher (!!!) and wait a week for postage (!!), with crying children who had already been assisted to build-a-bear. I am now still waiting 2 weeks later for a voucher I will have to try and sell. No response from head office via email. Staff more than helpful with kids until they raised the issue, then became totally dismissive. Reported to ACCC seeking advice.
