Hello everyone,
The new e-commerce site for Fabric Friends & Dolls is finally ready to launch. It takes a long time to get these things going, and while it’s not entirely complete and many more new products need to be added on a day-to-day basis in the weeks, I feel that it is enough to get it going. All of the Webkinz products, Zumbuddy, accessories, etc. are updated and available to order. Some other product lines still need work.

The link to the site is http://www.fabricfriendsdolls.com/, so it is the same as our other site without “excitewebpages” in the URL. We will, however, be retaining both web sites. The original one is for about us and who we are, and to provide information on in stock products, as well as future releases. Both will be updated day-to-day. This is an ongoing project as always. As I stated before, we have taken some of the suggestions in building this site through your ideas on Gymbo’s Blog, to make it more convenient for you. PayPal users will be happy to know that they can now contact us for purchases. Other ideas have been incorporated as well.

Please read all instructions on the web site including Shipping & Returns, Privacy, and (Terms &) Conditions so that you fully understand and comply with the rules and regulations for using our site. We will not be responsible for any orders placed in error, and once an order has been submitted, it is finalized, so please consider all of this very carefully. Again, if you choose not to use this site, you may contact my mother or me directly with your order. This is just an alternative for those who prefer to use it through this medium, as well to help international users who do not have the liberty of finding Webkinz products so easily. Again, we thank you for your patience and look forward to hearing from you very soon. Feel free to e-mail me with any questions you may have about this new business opportunity.

Best Regards,
Marc
Fabric Friends & Dolls

*When ordering, please make sure to mention Gymbo’s Webkinz Blog!
