Review On Rosy's Garden at Storenvy
(If someone were to look back at these posts and wonder why I'm making so many at once,
it's because I want to finish all my saved and stored photos! I want to start on a new leaf for the
New Year. And also, as you can see in some of the food posts, if I don't try to post about food
quickly, half of the time I forgot what I even ordered. :p)
Now! First of all, how many of you have heard of Alpacasso? These are cute alpaca
plushies from a Japanese company called AMUSE, and in Japan you can usually find them
in toy crane machines in Japan, or in some shops. Now when I first saw these popping up
online a few months back, it was love at first sight. I absolutely adored them and had to get
my hands on one! After looking into it some more, I read some reviews on Tumblr, and
on personal blogs, and decided to finally get one from Rosy's Garden, a Hong Kong seller
known to sell authentic plush alpacas. By the way, sometimes you might see Alpacassos
named Arkapasso; this was the original name for the plushed alpacas but when AMUSE saw
they spelled "Alpaca" wrong, later editions of the toy had the name changed to Alpacasso.
Rosy also has an eBay account where she sells Alpacas, (rosy61987), but it's slightly cheaper
to buy one from her Storenvy shop.
I placed my order on November 19, and due to it being Holiday season I was told it
might take longer than the usual two weeks. It came on time, around December 7. Now I
got worried about the package during shipping because a strange thing happened; the
tracking number, both on USPS and Hong Kong Post tracked the package up until it left
Hong Kong, and then it didn't track the package in the United States. In fact when I received
the package, I checked the tracking number online, and the last place located was at Hong
Kong, with it saying delivered right after that. After some digging around I realized what
happened, USPS does not track registered mail in the U.S, which is what the package was
shipped as. So I just want to point out for U.S buyers that it is normal for the tracking to stop,
and you will receive your package.
The package came in a brown package with wrapping inside. I got my Alpacasso in a
cute pink bag, and a small free gift; a hair bow with cherries, in a green bag. This seller has
had many good reviews and she is quick to respond if you have questions. She was very
reliable and I appreciate the free gift! If you're interested in purchasing a real Alpacasso, I
recommend her.
