 Great product - BUT BEWARE of Amazon shipping bait and switch January 2, 2009
My 4 year old is puppy crazy. She LOVES this toy and plays with the set almost daily. Got a great price on Amazon and it was available when no one else had it in stock.
Now onto MY RANT about Amazon shipping practices...
The Rock Band order fiasco. I found Rock Band for PS2 in local stores for $150 or more. I decided to check Amazon and was please to see that it was $99. SCORE - and with Prime, I would get it OVERNIGHT for only $3.99 more. I ordered Rock Band on December 27th through Amazon prime. I paid the extra money for the "OVERNIGHT" shipping option so that it would arrive BEFORE New Years Eve (as it was planned for a party). It was scheduled to arrive on Tuesday December 30th (since the order took place over the weekend)which would have left PLENTY of time.
HOWEVER - AMAZON's useless shipping department did not send this package overnight-as I paid for. They instead decided that UPS ground would suffice since it was shipping within the same zone. HERE is the problem with this fraudulent practice - UPS, like any other shipper prioritizes it packages based on actual shipping service purchased. Since this item was a GROUND package, it sat on the truck ALL day and ultimately was returned to the distribution center AFTER 7:00 PM. Also, since it was GROUND, it did not go out for delivery on the following day (12/31) since this was a limited service day for air packages only. AGAIN, if Amazon had shipped it properly, it would have been delivered on 12/31. REMEMBER I PAID for OVERNIGHT service.
I was able to prove this shipping problem was caused by Amazons practice of not properly handling a shipment, based on another order. The second order was also place with Amazon prime on MONDAY 12/29. Since it was not urgent, I opted for the FREE 2nd Day delivery. That package actually shipped via 2nd day air (as expected) and due to class of serivce (air) it was delivered on 12/31 (the holiday). It is now FRIDAY 1/2 and I still have not yet rec'd my Rock Band order. IT WILL BE REFUSED WHENEVER IT IS FINALLY DELIVERED as I bought the exact same product from Walmart on Wednesday morning for the SAME PRICE.
I complained to Amazon about this and the best they would do is refund my shipping and offer me $5.00 off my NEXT purchase. Why would I purchase from them again after this terrible experience.
In summary - BEWARE OF THE SHIPPING Bait and Switch! Use Amazon's site for your research and customer reviews. If you like the item and want to buy it, see if you can get it local for the same deal - if so TAKE IT. Don't trust Amazon's shipping dept. or expect good customer service! If they keep this up - they will go the way of SO MANY companies today and be gone in a heartbeat.
Barbie and pups, Barbie vet December 29, 2008
Same as the Barbie doctor. Encourages youngin's to be something besides fashion model/sex symbol, in this case a veterinarian. Lots of small parts are a pain but overall, this is fun and educational. My granddaughter really flipped over this.
Nice toy for dog loving kids July 29, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
This is a cute set. My 4 year old, who loves dogs, enjoys it a lot. The magnet bones are very tiny, easily lost; do not get this set if your child is likely to put them in his/her mouth. Our peeing puppy worked fine. It's kind of digusting looking, to me at least -- has sort of pouting mouth. But it works, just like a bathtime squeeze toy. One oddity is that Barbie has a hooked elbow, so she can carry a puppy more easily. It's cute! -- I was disappointed that the mother dog is not magnetised on her belly, only on her mouth; so the puppies can't really nurse.
 Surprise doesn't work July 14, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
These puppies are adorable and barbie is as cute as ever. My 7 year old daughter chose this as a special and earned treat. The puppy that is supposed to drink water from a bottle and then wet (go potty) doesn't work. I have tried and tried and can't make it happen, even following instructions and trying to clear out to puppy (tube that presumably holds water). So that is too bad.
