New LOWER PRICES across the board at Cottontails!


Online retailing has changed enormously in the thirteen years I've been running Cottontails. There is now far, far more competition and many more shops selling way below RRP. In the past I've relied on a lovely brand, a comprehensive range and good old fashioned customer service to carry Cottontails, but it's been a bruising couple of years and it's time for me to get a little more business savvy if I'm to compete in this evermore more cut-throat market place.

 So, time for a few changes... LOWER prices, REDUCED delivery charges, but of course the same trustworthy, friendly, personal service!



Very competitive prices for Moulin Roty and Maileg

Although I've only ever sold things at the RRP, there are now so many competitors consistently undercutting the guide price that I simply have to join in the game. So I've combed through item by item and cut prices to a bare minimum.



Almost everything has dropped by at least 10%, and I think this makes me the most competitively priced major retailer for Moulin Roty and Maileg in the UK. I'm pretty chuffed with this and hope you will be too!

Delivery charge reduced!

A new LOWER delivery charge! I have reduced the delivery charge by nearly 25% - so standard UK delivery is now just £3.50. And don’t worry there are still options to upgrade to an express service if your order is urgent.



Simple, affordable, trustworthy

As ever, when you order from Cottontails you are dealing with just one person… me! I will process your order from start to finish, from the moment the email pings into my inbox, through to the drive to the post office to get your parcel on its way. This means if there is an issue with your order, I will pick up on it and personally let you know. And if something disappears in the post or gets damaged– because these things happen – I will always sort things out for you.

 When you order from Cottontails you can relax – because a real person takes ownership of your order and makes sure you are happy.



So, all in all, I hope that with the keen new pricing and the lovely old customer service, Cottontails will be hopping into a brighter future... Please hop and shop with us!

Tis the season for Christmas catalogues...

 It's that time of year when the catalogues come out with the toy ranges for Autumn, Winter and Christmas. It's always a bit strange to be browsing pixies and polar bears in the middle of summer - but let's face it, it's not much of a summer so far is it so it doesn't feel all that peculiar this year!

The two big ones for Cottontails are Moulin Roty's Memoire d'Enfant catalogue, and Maileg's Autumn Winter collection.

Moulin Roty Memoire d'Enfant 2016-2017


The Memoire d'Enfant collection are my favourite Moulin Roty toys, and this is the catalogue I look forward to more than any other. Quirky cloth toys, wooden classics and lots of fun French stocking fillers. View the full catalogue here, and below is a little taster


Coquettes rag dolls - and just look at the new dogs!
 

Loads of new additions to the Once Upon a Time range


New Parisienne dolls!


And of course the new Maileg catalogue is always a joy! They produce two books a year - spring / summer comes out in January and contains the Easter collection, then in mid summer - now - they publish the autumn / winter book. View the complete catalogue here, and again there are a few tasters

I will be working up my orders during July, and I would LOVE to hear about anything you particularly like. It's always hard to know what will be popular, so I love to know your thoughts.

Now, enough of Christmas. Back to our blazing summer!
