FAQ
Asked at the castle gates
Questions from fellow wanderers, answered by the castle. Open any one to read its answer, and if yours is not here, ask us at the end of the page.
Getting one
When can I actually buy one?
The shop opens on 11.11, the eleventh of November, at midnight in Singapore. The date may still move, so keep an eye on the castle gates.
Everything says “Launching 11.11”. Can I get in line?
Yes. Tap “notify me” on any wonder and we will write to you once, on the day it lands. If you would rather not hear from us, just let us know.
Which payment methods do you take?
Cards through Shopify’s secure checkout, plus Shop Pay, Apple Pay and Google Pay where your device offers them.
Do you gift wrap, or add a note?
A note, yes, and free: write it in your cart and we tuck it in, handwritten. Wrapping is not on offer yet.
When will a sold-out wonder come back?
We make them in small runs, so we cannot always say when. Tap “notify me” on its page, or join Letters from the castle, and we will write the day it is back.
On its way
Do you ship to me, and is it free?
We send our wonders worldwide, and shipping is free on every order above $50 SGD.
Shipping policyWhat does shipping cost under $50?
Under $50 SGD it is a small flat fee by where you live: $3.90 in Singapore; $5.90 to Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar, Japan, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand and the UK; $9.90 to the EU, Switzerland, Norway, Canada, Hong Kong, India, Cambodia, Laos, the Philippines and Indonesia; $12 to the US, South Asia and Africa; $16 to Brunei, Taiwan, Latin America and the Middle East. From $50 it is free, everywhere.
Shipping policyDo you ship to the EU?
Yes, all across the EU, free from $50 SGD. Customs and tax are in the shipping policy.
Shipping policyHow long until it reaches me?
We pack your order in 1 to 2 business days. Then it travels, usually 1 to 4 weeks within Asia, 4 to 6 weeks to North America, Europe and Oceania, 4 to 8 weeks to South America, and 6 to 12 weeks to Africa. Weather, customs and carriers sometimes slow a parcel on the road.
Shipping policyHow do I follow my parcel?
When your wonder sets off you get an email with tracking, and you can follow it at thinklery.com/pages/track-order. Tracking often goes quiet for a few days between carriers, which is normal. If nothing has moved for 7 days, give your local post a nudge with your tracking number, and if it is still stuck, write to hello@thinklery.com with your order number.
Track orderThe tracking says “Item sent abroad”. What does that mean?
Your parcel is on its way, or it has reached your country and is waiting for customs or your local post. That stage can take a few days or a few weeks. If it has not moved for 20 days, write to hello@thinklery.com.
Shipping policyWill I pay customs or tax?
Your country may charge import duty or tax on an order sent outside Singapore, which the carrier collects when it arrives. Those charges are not part of our price.
Shipping policyChanged your mind
Can I change or cancel my order?
Yes, until we pack it. Write to us as soon as you can; if it has not been packed, we change it or cancel it and refund you in full, no fuss. Once it is on its way, it is still yours to send back within 14 days.
Refund policyI changed my mind. Can I send it back?
Yes, within 14 days of receiving it, wherever you live and for any reason. Tell us at hello@thinklery.com, then send it back within 14 days of telling us, unused and as it arrived. We refund the price and the standard delivery cost within 14 days of getting it back, to the way you paid; the return postage is yours.
Refund policyMine arrived broken, or it is not what I ordered.
We are so sorry. Send a photo and your order number to hello@thinklery.com and we will replace it or refund you in full, postage included. Your legal rights for faulty goods stay exactly where they are.
Refund policyMy parcel never came.
If it has not arrived within 4 weeks of the estimated delivery date, write to us. We will chase it with the carrier and, if it is truly lost, send a replacement or refund you.
Refund policyAbout them
How big are they, really?
We measure the plush itself across its widest part with a cloth tape, never the clip or the ring. Planet Orbys are 6 cm, the Mellow Moon Orby 5.5 cm, Endearing Earth 14 cm, and each Chompybones baby 6 to 7 cm. Every one is sewn by hand, so yours may be half a centimetre either way.
How we measureWhat are they made of?
Soft polyester plush on the outside, springy polyester fibre filling inside, and a metal clasp on the keychains, tested for nickel. The newest Orbys wear a stretchier, extra-soft plush that springs back when you squeeze.
Are they safe?
Samples of our first production runs were tested by BZT, an accredited lab, to the European toy safety standard EN 71 parts 1, 2 and 3, and every result passed: the planet Orbys, the Mellow Moon Orby and the big planet plushies in November 2025, all six Chompybones babies in December 2025. The clips, rings and pendants were tested for nickel release under the EU’s REACH rules and none was detected. The Chompybones have small parts, so they are not for anyone under 3. Ask us and we will send the full reports.
Safety and careWhat age are they for?
Three and up. The Chompybones babies have small parts, so not before three.
Safety and careHow do I keep mine lovely?
Hand wash only, gently, then let it dry in the open air, never in a tumble dryer. And if a keychain’s clip or ring ever comes loose, take your friend off the bag and let it retire to a shelf.
Safety and careCan I meet them in person first?
Some of our wonders have wandered off to shelves in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur: Science Centre Singapore, the NUS Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum, Petrosains at Suria KLCC, Simply Toys (Changi Terminal 3, Plaza Singapura, Suntec City), Simply Zakka at Jewel, Jurassic Nest at Gardens by the Bay, and NUS Co-op. Shelves change with the seasons, so if you are making a special trip for one particular friend, ask us first and we will check.

What are coins, and how many do I earn?
Coins come with a free Thinklery account: 100 for every dollar you spend with us directly, a welcome handful when you join, and they keep for a year after anything you do here. Checking out as a guest earns none, so sign in first.
Is there a membership?
Yes, and it costs nothing: make an account and you are on the trail, earning coins on every order.
