My wife and I visited Opossum World in 2015 while vacationing in New Zealand and purchased a couple of possum pillows. Unfortunately, this spring our puppy got a hold of one of them and used it as a chew toy. I Emailed Opossum world and inquired if they had any replacements and was responded to within 24 hours by Lynette, who was very helpful. I got the pillow shell ordered and it was in the post within the next 24 hours, with a guess that it would arrive here in the States in about 10 days (I was on a time line, since I was hoping for arrival before my wife's birthday). Lynette was also kind enough to include a tracking number. The package made it to the States in relatively short order, but then it sat in Los Angeles for days, then a week, then two. I again contacted Lynette, who said that she would look in to the situation. She got back to me in a couple of days saying that the package had left LA and had also passed through our area post office and was currently in route to my residence. I received the package that day intact and in time for the wife's birthday. Thank you, Lynette, for going above and beyond in this situation. Your products are wonderful and your customer service speaks for itself.
