How do I place an order? What forms of payment do you accept?
We accept Visa, Master Card, American Express and Discover through our online shopping cart system. We also offer an Express Checkout for customers wishing to pay with their PayPal account. If you prefer to not pay online, please select the Phone/Fax order during checkout and we will contact you with payment options (phone-in credit card payment or mail-in money order or cashier's check).

I see a fabric that I like on the Fabrics page, but it's not available in the dropdown list for the product that I'm ordering...
Some products are not available in every fabric choice. For example, in addition to our standard flannel fabrics, our Toddler Pillows can also be purchased in 100% woven cotton (non-flannel) material, satin charmeuse, and 320 thread count cotton sateen. Also, certain products just don't seem to sell in some fabrics (for example, we rarely sell blankets in the Natural or White colors), so we don't sew stock in those items. If you have a special request for an item in a fabric that is not available in the dropdown list, feel free to contact us to find out if it's possible to have an item custom made in that fabric. Please note that any custom items are non-returnable.

When will my order be ready?
Once we receive your order and payment, if the fabrics selected are currently in stock, orders are processed and usually ready to ship within 5-7 business days depending on the number of current orders. Larger orders may take additional time. Typical shipping time is usually another 2-4 business days.

I did not receive any emails or confirmation or my order - how do I know you received it?
Once your order is placed, you will receive an automated order confirmation email from orders@mrbobblesblankets.com. If you paid through PayPal, you will also receive a PayPal confirmation email/receipt. Once your order ships, you will receive an automated email from the shipping carrier (USPS or FedEx) with the details of the shipment. If you did not receive the appropriate confirmations, either an email address was not provided when you placed your order, or sometimes our emails are rerouted to your trash or junk mail. If you wish to receive these confirmation emails, please check your spam/junk mail filters and make sure that we are added to your "safe" list. Also, please note that if you are using a work email address, many corporate email systems have global spam/junk mail filters that prevent these emails from reaching your inbox.
What are the shipping and handling charges?
For shipping and handling to a US or US APO address, we have designed our shopping cart with fixed fees based on the order total as follows:
Product Total - Shipping/Handling Fee
up to $15.50 - $4.50
$15.51 - $49.99 - $6.50
$50.00 - $99.00 - $8.00
$100.00 - $199.99 - $9.00
$200 and up - $10.50

*All amounts are quoted in US Dollars.

Most orders are sent USPS Priority Mail. Once we process your order for shipping, you will receive an email notification with shipping details. Transit time for most orders is 2-4 days. Also note that tracking numbers for USPS shipments only serve to confirm delivery. The number cannot be used track the interim location of the shipment. We may also use FedEx Ground for larger, heavier orders (transit time varies by location). Any address that uses a PO Box will be shipped via USPS Priority Mail (FedEx will not ship to PO Boxes). Shipping rates quoted are for US locations and US APO addresses.

Can I specify where to leave my package, or request "no signature required"?
Delivery location (front porch, garage, side door, etc) is typically at the discretion of the delivery person. We will add a note to the shipping label if requested, however we cannot guarantee that the delivery person will honor your request.

All of our packages are sent without requiring a signature for delivery, however if you are not home at the time of delivery, it is up to the discrection of the delivery person to either leave the package or require pick-up at your local post office (for packages sent USPS Priority Mail).

Do you ship internationally?
At this time, our shopping cart is not set up to accept international orders, except for orders going to US APO addresses. If your order is being shipped to a US APO address, please allow extra processing and delivery time as these orders require customs forms and must pass through the customs system.

If you would like an order shipped overseas (to a non US APO address), please send us an email with the shipping information and we will get a price quote for you. Most international shipments are sent using Global Priority Mail or Global Airmail Parcel Post, and for a typical size package, shipping rates can be $15-$20. Payment can be made by credit card or PayPal for international orders.
My order is a gift. Can you ship it to another address?
Absolutely! We would be happy to ship your gift directly to another recipient.
During checkout, just enter the recipient's address as the shipping address, and make sure to include a note in the optional note field (or follow-up your order with an email to us) with a personalized message to the recipient - we'll include your message on a free gift card and omit the packing receipt with any pricing information. We also now offer gift wrapping for $3.95 to $4.95 per item. The Gift Wrap option can be selected during checkout.

What are the care instructions for your products?
Our blankets, toddler pillowcases, and playard sheets are all made out of 100% cotton flannel. Our burp cloths are 4 layers of 100% cotton diaper cloth on one side with our 100% cotton flannel prints on the other side. Our Bips are 100% cotton flannel trimmed with polyester satin. The pillow inserts are made with a 100% polyester non-allergenic fiberfill interior, and a 100% cotton cover over the polyester fiberfill.

We now are also offering pillowcases in certain prints in 100% woven cotton (non-flannel) as well as a 320 thread count 100% cotton sateen, and newly added is the option for satin charmeuse pillowcases.

All products, including the pillow insert, can be machine washed with like colors on cold/warm, no bleach, and can be tossed in the dryer. With products made out of 100% cotton, you can expect some slight shrinking. The pillowcases and playard sheets have been made with extra allowances to accomodate shrinking and should fit perfectly after washing and drying. For best results when washing our security blankets (Bips) and satin pillowcases, we recommend making sure that there are no articles with velcro in the same load - velcro can cause snags on the satin fabric.

Laundry Tip: In a study done on laundry detergents and fabric softeners at Univeristy of Nebraska, researchers found that when washing cotton flannel fabrics, the use of laundry detergents containing Cellulase Enzymes significantly reduces the pilling common with cotton fabrics, especially flannel. In contrast, the use of rince cycle softeners (liquid fabric softeners), resulted in an INCREASE of fabric pilling as well as increased fabric breakage or weakening. Dryer sheet softeners did not change the pilling or fabric strength in either way.

For best results when washing our flannel products, you might want to try using a laundry detergent that contains Cellulase Enzymes, and avoiding the use of liquid or rinse cycle fabric softeners. We have contacted many major detergent manufacturers to find out which detergents contain Cellulase Enzymes. To date, the detergents we've found that contain Cellulase Enzymes are: most Tide Powder varieties (not the liquid, and not Tide Ultra varieties for coldwater or HE washing machines), Ivory Snow Powder (not the liquid), and Bold Powder (not the liquid).

Can you provide more details about the toddler pillows? What is the toddler pillow made out of?
Our Toddler Pillows come in various sets with matching blankets and pillowcases, or you can buy the white pillow insert by itself. The pillow inserts measure 12"x16" (approx. 3" thick) and are made with a 100% polyester non-allergenic fiberfill interior, and a 100% cotton covering over the polyester fiberfill. Note that our pillows tend to be flatter than most - we designed them with the feedback of parents and kids who felt that some of the other pillows available are just too thick for little heads and necks. Our pillows are a "medium" loft - not as soft as a feather pillow, but not as firm as a "firm" pillow.

Both the pillow inserts and the pillowcases can be machine washed in cold/warm water and then tossed in the dryer on low/medium heat. The pillow inserts will fluff up slightly after washing, but will compress back down to normal size once used again. When washing, we recommend putting the pillow in along with towels or other bedding as the pillows have a tendency to "float" at the top of the wash. The extra padding in the wash will also help the pillow retain it's shape during the spin cycle.

Most of our pillowcases are 100% cotton flannel material available in a wide variety of prints and solids. We now are also offering certain prints and solids in 100% woven cotton (non-flannel) as well as a 320 thread count 100% cotton sateen, and newly added is the option for satin charmeuse pillowcases. The pillowcase feature an extra flap of fabric inside the pillowcase to cover the top (open side) of the pillow.

Can you provide more details about the No-Slip Playard/Portacrib Sheets? Can the sheets be used on the bassinet feature of my playard?
Our No-Slip Playard/Portacrib Sheets are made out of the same high quality 100% cotton flannel prints and solids as the rest of our products. The sheets are designed like a giant pillow "sham" (or think of a sandwich baggie) and they cover the entire playard board - top and underside. This safety design allows for a secure fit and prevents active children from pulling the sheet off the corners and becoming entangled in a loose sheet. The top side of the sheet is made out of a fabric of your choice - either a print or solid, while the underside is typically a solid white flannel fabric. Our No-Slip Playard sheets can be used on standard size (27" x 39") playards or travel yards with a removeable board such as the GRACO Pack 'N Play or Century Fold 'n Go and will also fit standard size portacrib mattresses (2 inches thick).

Yes, our playard sheets can also be used with playards that have a full-sized bassinet feature where the bassinet uses the same board that is used when in "playard" mode. The instructions for using the sheet are the same - wrap the board in our sheet and place the board inside the bassinet feature instead of the bottom of the playard.

Note: Our sheets are NOT compatible with the Fisher Price Ocean Wonders Aquarium Playard - the board/mattress on this playard is attached and cannot be removed.

Which size blanket do you recommend for my child?
We currently sell 2 sizes of blankets:
Standard size blanket (measures approximately 36" x 44") - Larger than most baby blankets, makes an excellent receiving blanket, swaddling blanket, stroller blanket, etc. Since it's larger than most, it will grow with your child into toddler-hood. Generally recommened for ages 2 and under.
Supersize blanket (measures approximately 60" x 44") - Our Supersize blanket is a great option for toddlers sleeping in toddler beds or twin-sized beds as an extra cover-up (not quite as big as a twin-sized blanket). Also great for preschool nap time, sleep-overs, etc. Can also be doubled-over for a thicker blanket. Generally recommended for ages 2+.
For reference, a crib mattress measures 27" x 52", while a regular twin-sized mattress measures 39" x 75"
