I just won and bought a Raspberry Swirl cat today. I see that the e-mail receipt says they charged $39.94 instead of $34.99. Now I see that all of your plushes are listed at $39.94. I’ve searched Webkinz Newz here, and an internet search for another price increase announcement and can only find this one from less than a month and a half ago saying it’s supposed to cost $34.99. Did someone get their 4 and 9 mixed around when they were entering them in the shop, or did you raise the price again but not tell us? Please help.

I personally don’t mind the price changes. I just appreciate we are still able to play. I don’t have access to a computer or else I’d be paying for the membership.

I love this for both of you. I am 28, been playing since 2007. I stopped playing for a while as life got in the way, but I’m back now and don’t plan on stopping again. I’ve even got both my kids an account, even though my daughter is only 4. We still enjoy doing small thing together (:

You are still Webkinz, you aren’t closing the doors, you aren’t saying you have to cut back production or that you have to close one or the other. You are still open for business. For that I am grateful. It is one of the things I truly enjoy in life and I love being able to share it with others. In all the years you have given us Webkinz there are so many things you didn’t change. I think we all feel sad that you had to do this, but I can see why. Thank you for letting us know.

I have been with Webkinz since 2007. You are not too old to learn, never say that. Give yourself time, honestly. I think my Next account was opened about a year after it launched. I have taken it easy ever since. I go on once in a while to check things out, to participate in some of the activities, to spin the Wheel of Wow and go do some mining. I don’t think I have even achieved the first challenges, yet. But I still go back and I play a little more all the time. I love that you can decorate more freely, that Classic Collection events will give you more in game items to work with and that you can buy some things and send them back to Classic! I haven’t sparked a baby, yet. I am still working on my first pet. But it doesn’t matter, no one is giving me a deadline, I just play at my leisure. Take it easy, explore and try things out. I think you will be surprised at what a nice game it really is.

Around the end of last year there was a postal strike affecting all of Canada, shortly after that Canada Post increased their postage rates on a lot of their services. I am sure that Ganz was also affected by this. Most of the other couriers also ‘adjusted’ their pricing. Then came the tariffs. Remember that the supplies to make the pets come from various places and I am sure that there isn’t a sewing room in the back of the Ganz office in Canada, so every time something crosses those borders we are looking at customs duties and tariffs. I am grateful that they are including the shipping costs as part of the plush pricing, I know how much it costs me to send packages from my home.
