Amazon has free shipping when you spend 25.00 or more... But that bed is all over, i saw it it a bunch of places when I was checking prices on google search.

I got from this guy PET BEDS: NEW ROYAL VELVET CANOPY BED DOG CAT-$89 - eBay (item 360112829047 end time May-11-10 04:04:48 PDT)

I see now he closed the auction on it.. He has sold 62 of them. I believe these item's are drop shipped from the manufacturer because everyone selling this bed is selling the same other item's, same pics etc..

This means they never touch the product, they take the order and give to the company selling these item's and they ship out.. I did drop shipping a few years ago/ Good way to make some money and not have to hold the products. Most of it is junk, some is good. We shall see with the bed

Me too. I agree with someone else that it's probably being drop shipped from somewhere else so they don't know till they place the order to the drop shipper that it's gone. I've sent a couple messages to other sellers, not purchasing again without finding out if they have it.

Money from the first purchase is finally back in my paypal account, just gotta wait for the 2nd one now.

Starting to wonder if maybe it just wasn't meant to be.

I feel ya. && also it is def. a dropped ship item I emailed a few other sellers like you it will be back in stock on the 24th I heard from three of them. So I will try then perhaps. Money from #1 is still not in my account but pnc bank is so slow.

I was just wondering if anyone has gotten their bed yet and how they looked in person.

I got mine today.. Hubby put it together in about 15 minutes. It looks like the picture. My only problem with this bed is the padding/mattress.

it is a very cheap foam covered with the material you see in the picture, it is about an inch thick and is permanently attached to a thin board. I thought it was cardboard but it's not.

There is no way to put this in the washer. So we are going to have to put another pad, or dog bedding on top of it to keep that part from getting dirty.

So far the dogs don't seem interested in it..lol.. Pennie got on it and then got back off. So I am going to put different bedding on it to see if they will use it.

It is smaller in person of course then the pictures make it look, but I knew it would be by the measurements.

So at this point I have no regrets buying it. It is nice looking, sturdy, and not to heavy.

I will take some pictures as soon as someone actually lays on it ..lol

It took 3 days to arrive from Ontario California.

PS: I found this seller's emails to be the most annoying! They want 5 stars and they sent me at least 4-5 emails saying they did this and that and to give 5 stars!

But to top it off, I got the item and within in minutes (i mean just a few) I got an email saying my bed was delivered in 3 days (DUH) and that warrants a 5 star rating.

They are more concerned for their ratings then whether I am happy with it. Also, ebay says if an item is drop shipped they are supposed to say so in their ads, this seller doesn't do this. I normally do not purchase drop ship because they are usually crap..lol

Anyhow, I just thought i would add that because those darn emails were so irritating!

[mommadog1]

OMG I just got 5 more emails from this seller wanting 5 stars.. they are ticking me off..

Someone else did mention the pad not being of very good quality but they made an additional pad, which is a good idea. That leopard print material is easy to find & I'd probably do the same thing or just use one of those flat dog beds on top of it.
