Thread: Funkins - How to contact manufacturers?

Tweet

I want to contact the manufacturers of Funkins, but have tried their website with no success - I use their 'contact us' form but it just keeps pinging back at me.

Does anybody by chance have a contact email address for them?

Thanks.

Ugh, I hate companies that rely on those stupid web forms. Just to force people to give a name and phone number for marketing purposes. And also to break when coded badly.

I couldn't find much but I did find a reference to cs@funkins.com on one old website. The WhoIs lookup lists jeff@funkins.com as administrative contact.

Great Xane, excellent!

Had a failure notice come back from the CS one, but Jeff is looking good. Thanks for this - I thought about Whois but didn't think it would give me anything. Should have tried I guess!

I agree about the webforms - always annoys me when they want to know so much about you when there's no need for them to. I feel like I ought to tell them what I had for breakfast too!

Thanks again.

Any luck? I had emailed them in hopes of trying to organize a Funkins Group Buy, but the seemed less than interested.
I emailed Leslie: leslie@funkins.com (will remove if asked)

Joann's Fabric carries them as does AC Moore, I wonder if you could cut a deal with a local Joann's or Moore?

Funkin's aren't my fave to hack into, I prefer the one's Michael's carries & can't remember the name for the life of me!! IMHO they're easier to cut with the woodburning thingy.

So if you wanna get up a group buy with those, I'm in!!

I prefer Michael's versions better too, but they're manufactured by Gemmy, and they won't work with me on a group buy.
I've begged! LOL. Hmmm? Maybe I can see if Michaels will! If not this year, maybe next.

No, sadly no response since I sent the email. Please let me know if you get a response from Leslie. Oh wait, it sounds like you did get a response?

You get what they care to pay for in wages.

Oh the email went thru. Leslie was actually nice and helpful...unfortunantely she held no power in the decision making process. The "higher-ups" shot me down.

We just got our shipment of Funkins in today. They're not up on our site yet even, hopefully by tomorrow. I think we purchased about six different styles to see how they'd go.

Phil, if there's anything I can help you with, just let me know. We do ship internationally.
