ATTENTION - VERY IM-PAW-TANT UPDATE!
PLEASE BE AWARE THAT DUE TO THE CURRENT UK LOCKDOWN IMPOSED ON 23RD MARCH 2020 THE BEAR GARDEN SHOP IS CURRENTLY CLOSED AND ORDERS PLACED ON THE WEBSITE AFTER THIS TIME WILL NOT BE SHIPPED IN THE LOCKDOWN PERIOD.
We are going to be reviewing our position on Tuesday 15th April where we will look at perhaps dispatching the orders we have received during our closure period if the lockdown is being extended for a significant amount of time.
We have taken the decision not to mail out to protect our team and the postal couriers at this very difficult time. All orders are dispatched from our town centre shop and we have a daily collection by Royal Mail to do this. We have taken the decision to halt all mail order for the lockdown period so that our team do not make the unnecessary journey to work in the town to ship parcels and to reduce any unnecessary workload for the postal workers. This decision has not been taken lightly and we will endeavour to dispatch all outstanding orders promptly on our return.
Thank you for your understanding as we navigate these hard times for our little independent shop.
Please contact us with any questions.
Stay safe and take care!
Best wishes,
The Bear Garden Team
