Buying Toys
We do not have a pricing structure representing the value of your collectible items. The value varies for each individual collector and is dependent on the commonality of the item, its condition, and the supply and demand of the item.
Top
We appreciate your interest but do not purchase or accept trades on any toys. You may wish to investigate online auction sites to move your product quickly and reach a broad audience. We hope that you are able to find a good home for your collection!

Privacy & Security
We work diligently to protect your data and keep it confidential. To ensure the utmost security, our servers never store or transmit any credit card data.

The token is meaningless to any outside party. We partner with a large, well-respected payment processor which is fully PCI compliant. At no time does any employee of BigBadToyStore have access to your full credit card details. Details we do store, such as the credit card last 4 digits, are encrypted and protected with industry standards.

Once we confirm your order, the exact amount of sales tax will be calculated and will be available in the "my account" portion of the BBTS website.

Tracking Status
In the event you are not able to locate your delivered package, we recommend that you monitor the area around the delivery address in case the package was inadvertently left at the wrong address or in a location that is not easily noticed (such as on a porch, in a garage, behind landscaping, or under a bench). Additionally, please check with all friends, family members, or neighbors in case they intercepted the package on your behalf. In rare circumstances, we have seen tracking numbers report errors in delivery and found that the package is still in transit and will soon be delivered. If the package is not delivered in the following 24 to 48 hours, please contact the courier that delivered the package in case they are able to provide additional details pertaining to the delivery. If you are still not able to locate your package, please contact BigBadToyStore Customer Service and inform them of the circumstances. Often times, we are able to request a full investigation surrounding the delivery, as well as offer alternative options to help locate your package.
Top
How quickly a package is processed through Customs depends on each individual country's local governing agency. Some packages are cleared immediately while others are held for a longer period of time for inspection and/or processing. Packages that are held can sometimes take several weeks before continuing delivery to the final destination.
Top
No. It is common to see delays in what the tracking systems report. If you do not see daily updates, it is likely that your package is still progressing towards the delivery address.
Top
After your order is processed for shipment, the courier needs to receive your package(s) and start the delivery process before tracking is able to be monitored. If you are not able to track your shipment after 48 hours please contact Customer Service.
Top
This means that your package is currently progressing in transit to the final destination. This does not indicate a physical location, nor does it indicate the package is physically moving. This term is simply used by courier systems to show general progression in the delivery.
Top
Return to sender indicates your package is being redirected back to our warehouse. Customer Service will email you when we receive the package and determine why it was returned to us. Additional carrier tracking may be displayed during the transit back to our warehouse.
Top
Delivery times are estimates and are determined by the shipping carrier used for your delivery. Most carriers do not include weekends and holidays as business days of delivery. If you experience a prolonged delay beyond the estimated time of delivery provided contact our Customer Service team for assistance.
Top
Wholesale
No. Shipping regularly to your own retail store or residence is permitted, but drop-shipping to your own customers directly from BBTS is prohibited. Any order(s) will be subject to cancellation and account(s) will be deactivated.
Top
Yes! You are more than welcome to place an order and ship directly to your own store. Please note that we do not offer a wholesale program; the prices on our website are the prices you will pay.
Top
If you would like to place an order for more than a quantity of 24, please contact Customer Service for assistance.
