Thoughts: Jane is an older bear that didn't catch my eye until she became unavailable from all the US stockists. Of course. I never got around to importing her, but considered it a couple times. Finally, I lucked into this one from a lovely US collector that offered her to me after seeing the bear's name on the group wishlist. For a rather plain and unassuming bear, Jane's arrival was sure loaded with chaos. She was marked as delivered in a parcel locker at 8:49am today. But I got no texts or email with a Hub number. So I tried calling the office repeatedly, only to get no answer. My mom was working with me and when she left, she called them. They couldn't see anything in the Hub for me. So Mom came home and checked our mail. No key. This is the FIFTH mishandled mail incident we've had within the past month. So she got on the phone with the post office and tore them several new ones. They promised to do something, but did nothing. Thankfully, whoever the package was misdelivered to was more honest than last time and they brought the box to our door. They just left it, so Mom had no idea who it was, but at least Jane is safely home. She's super soft. A bit less ostentatious than what I normally like, but she suits her name. Plain yet also elegant and classy.
