  • Bears & More

    A specialist cleaner of thirty-five years with a dedicated soft toy service, in store in Scottsdale and by post from anywhere in the country or the world.

  • Connie’s Doll Repair

    Listed in a published list of doll hospitals by state, in AZ. The website the directory gives no longer loads. We have not read a website for them, so we cannot tell you what they take on, what they refuse, or what it costs. The contact details are theirs and are published here as the directory published them. Ring before you rely on any of it: of the entries in these same lists that did give a website, nearly half pointed at a domain that no longer exists.

    Doesn’t say how you get it to them

Everywhere, including Arizona

6 of these are national rather than local: a chain with a shop near most people, a restoration franchise dispatched to wherever the damage is, a manufacturer's own service. They are as available in Arizona as anywhere else.

Or post it to one of these

22 businesses anywhere in the country say they take work by post. Before you send anything: of the 194 we have read, 2 say anything about insuring your item while it is with them. Insure the parcel yourself, both ways.
