The viral bathrobe bear

The Jellycat Bartholomew Bear (Bathrobe Edition) has become a staple of the 2025 and early 2026 plush toy scene. Collectors in the United Kingdom have watched this specific iteration of the classic Bartholomew bear climb the ranks of social media popularity. Featuring a cozy, removable textured robe, this version has outpaced the standard bear in demand. While the UK is the home of Jellycat, the supply chain for specific seasonal releases often favors North American retailers, leading to a noticeable availability gap for British enthusiasts.

More about shipping to United Kingdom

Why the US market is different

Many UK residents are surprised to find that US specialty toy stores frequently carry deeper stock of the 2024 and 2025 seasonal lines. The competitive nature of the US retail landscape means that while a product might be sold out at major London department stores, it remains available at MSRP in various US-based boutiques. To take advantage of this, many shoppers utilize a freight forwarder to bridge the gap. By using a tax-free US address, you can shop like a local and avoid the immediate out-of-stock messages common on UK-facing sites.

Securing your order with BuyForMe

Shopping from the US while residing in the UK sometimes presents a technical hurdle. Certain US retailers, including high-end toy boutiques and major brands like Nike or Sephora, have strict security protocols that often block international credit cards or decline orders tied to known shipping hubs. This can lead to the frustration of an order being cancelled minutes after it is placed.

The solution is the comGateway BuyForMe service. Instead of using your own card, you provide the item details, and a dedicated team buys the item on your behalf using a US domestic payment method. This is the safest way to guarantee your Bartholomew Bear Bathrobe Edition isn't lost to a cancelled transaction. By using this assisted purchase method, you bypass the regional payment restrictions that many stores enforce.

Shipping estimates for Bartholomew

Understanding the physical footprint of your package is essential before you shop US store options. Below are the estimated logistics details for the Jellycat Bartholomew Bear (Bathrobe Edition):

Because plush toys are lightweight but require a sturdy box to prevent the "bathrobe" from being crushed, you should be aware of Volumetric Weight. Shipping carriers may charge based on the space the box takes up rather than just the weight on the scale. To avoid surprises, you can use a shipping calculator to get a clear idea of the costs before the item reaches the warehouse. If you have questions about specific items, the FAQ section offers detailed guidance on how dimensions affect pricing.

Import considerations for the UK

When bringing goods from the US into the United Kingdom, it is important to factor in the local regulations. Items entering the UK are subject to import duties and VAT depending on the total value of the shipment. As of February 2026, the thresholds for these taxes remain a critical part of your budget planning. Generally, shipments with a value over £135 will incur customs duty, while VAT is applicable to most imports.

You should also review the list of prohibited items to ensure that no restricted materials are included in your package. While a plush bear is perfectly safe, some accessory sets or bundles might include items like perfumes or certain liquids that have stricter shipping rules.

Getting started with international shipping

The process of getting your Bartholomew Bear starts with selecting a reliable international shipping service. Once your bear arrives at the US warehouse, you can choose to ship it immediately or consolidate it with other purchases to save on costs. For those who frequently shop across the pond, having a consistent international shipping partner makes the global marketplace feel much smaller. If you need further assistance, the support team can help you navigate the transit process from the US to your doorstep in London, Manchester, or anywhere else in the UK.
