- h***b (3)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI ordered the Kurzgesagt baby duck plush but received the regular duck plush instead. I contacted the seller & they responded very quickly, apologized for the error, & offered a full refund or exchange for the correct plush (which was the last they had in stock). It took me 1-2 days to respond. Instead of putting the baby duck up for sale, they waited until they heard back from me to ensure I had the opportunity to purchase it if I wanted it. The exchange was quick & easy. Great seller!baby duck in a nutshell Kurzgesagt Plush (#226609993739)
