I pre-ordered all 3 whelps (1 each). I bought it for my gf's birthday. I thought I would have it in good time since the release date was expected to be in Oct 2024 and my gf's birthday was early Nov. However, there was some delay on the source side of things and it reached Singapore late. However, starrynumby was great and went out of their way to deliver it personally to me after their work hours so I could get it in time to gift it to my gf. The chat response was very fast and responsive.
About the product itself, it was delivered in a huge box with the 3 items inside. Each of the whelps were in these cute little translucent boxes, with Chinese words on it, which suggest 1) it is directly sourced from China and 2) Authentic.
To be honest, I wasnt sure if this webshop was legit when I placed my pre-order. I wanted to just give it a chance and test it out. This was my first purchase. However, I have to say the experience was a great one. The website is fairly easy to navigate. If I need to buy other products, I would buy from them again. Highly recommend. (They also included a free gift and a cute note)
