TESTIMONIALS

November 2024 

"Thank you very much for sending Bandit. He has arrived! Safe and sound, wrapped warm against the cold and rain. Pleasure doing business with Corfe Bears as always!"

Catherine - Hampshire ( Pre-loved Charlie Bears

October 2024 

"Bonfire Toffee as arrived. What a stunning bear. I'm surprised he's still available. Thank you for your time in sending photos etc. I've said it before and I'll say it again, you're a top class business. Thank you"

Stuart - Nottingham ( Charlie Bears Bonfire Toffee

October 2024 

"I wanted to say thank you so much after the beautiful Dominique arrived today. She's been on pre-order for more than two and a half years and I was convinced I wouldn't get her, although you continued to assure me that I would, when I called to ask. So again thank you very much, she's amazing, I will never doubt you again "

Alan - Essex ( Charlie Bears Dominique

September 2024 

"Just wanted to say thank you for another excellent purchase. Little Signals arrived this evening and is meeting his new pals. What a cute little dragon signals is, thank you again."

Steve - Harlow ( Charlie Bears Cuddle Cub Signals

September 2024 

"I have been meaning to send you an email since receiving Kermode this morning (but have been too busy cuddling him!) OMG!!!! Is he the cutest, cuddliest bear ever! His dear little face is so cute. His fur is amazing, I didn't realise it is tipped with a few darker grey hairs, not a solid colour. I haven't been able to stop picking him up for cuddles. If not for your photograph I would never have chosen him, he is so different to the official Charlie Bear photo. My Kermode is at least 1000 times more cute & lovely. He has melted my heart."

Marianne - Basingstoke ( Charlie Bears Kermode

August 2024 

"Just wanted to let you know, Pigasus has just arrived. She is absolutely gorgeous. I love her. It's been an absolute pleasure to deal with you all again."

Tanya - Coventry ( Charlie Bears Pigasus

August 2024 

"My goodness -- that's service! I ordered Grumbles after 10pm on Tuesday, and he arrived by 9am on Thursday! That's amazing! While obviously Royal Mail played its part, it's still very impressive -- so thank you so much for sending him so promptly. He is indeed a lovely bear -- not remotely grumbly-looking, so I think I may have to rename him. He's very sweet, and great to hug, and seems to have fitted in with the rest of the Gang here very well. So thank you for your usual exemplary customer service, which has excelled itself on this occasion!"

Alison - Windsor ( Charlie Bears Grumbles

July 2024 

"So pleased to report the safe arrival of the beautiful elephant called Earl. He is a welcome addition to my ever-growing hug. As ever he was snuggled into his packaging so was quite content. Thank you so much for all your careened attention to ensure everyone always travels in first class style."

Sharon - Doncaster ( Charlie Bears Earl

"I had been looking for a Charlie bear "Kathleen" my mom's name, for a while and noticed her available with Corfe bears, so I went ahead and ordered. What can I say, amazing service, lovely friendly interaction. Delivered exactly on the day as promised. I have nothing but praise for this family run business. Big thumbs up to Leanne. How I wish I had this lovely shop where I live. Do not hesitate to order from Corfe Bears, whether by a visit or online.

ROYAL MAIL’S RECOMMENDED LATEST POSTING DATES CHRISTMAS 2023

We’re gearing up for Christmas here at Corfe Bears, so make sure you are prepared too by getting any of your orders in, well in time for the latest posting dates.

This year the latest posting dates are:

Monday 18th December - Royal Mail 48

This is our standard service that comes free with any order over £15. To allow us enough time to get your gorgeous gifts on their way to you, please make sure your order is placed by the end of Sunday 17th December.

Wednesday 20th December - Royal Mail 24

This service costs just 99p to add to any order and is well worth the upgrade if you’re in a last minute dash to get that present you forgot!

Sadly we cannot guarantee that your order will arrive in time if you miss the latest posting dates. We will continue to dispatch orders up to 23rd December but remember their arrival time will likely be affected due to the increased amount of post in the system and the non-working days over Christmas.
