The year is 2006.

Computer monitors weight as much as a small refrigerator.
People have to decide between Windows98 and Windows 2000 as Vista has not plagued us yet.
On the 30th of January 2006 we inquired with the brand new toy-maker „FurryStyle“ in the US about opening a shop and reselling their toys on the European continent.
Making some inquiries with conventional toy distributors, the customs office, popular portal pages.
A week later the first drafts of our iconic foxes are in the mail.
Another week later, on the 15th of February 2006 the YiffyToys website opened.
Originally named „furryshop“ but quickly renamed to „YiffyToys“ after barely a month.

Two month later?

In April the „Behind The Scenes“ blog you are reading right now is created.
Back then created with a new Google service called Blogspot but uploaded to our own server for hosting.
The shop got support for multiple languages (even experimenting with French), currencies and this fancy new IPv6 thing.

Half a year later?

In August YiffyToys was at Eurofurence 12 in the Nuremberg Castle with a huge crowd of 405 attendees. Our very first Dealers Den. Very clumsy and all our toys still fit on top of a single table. Many of those would follow. Back then there was no distinction between After Dark and regular dealers den on any convention.

Two years later?

In 2008 we added other manufacturers. Back then, we even sold Bad Dragon toys for a while.
We had to get our trademarks entered in Germany and the US and defended it at the WIPO in Switzerland against some typosquatter trying to open a shop in the US using our very name. During the Christmas holidays no less.

Another 3 years?

In 2011 FurryStyle – the manufacturer we started out with – went out of business and we won the auction for all molds, the name and some advertising material. Obviously no customer data. Not wanting to give up on these toys, we started to continue making them on our own. Staying completely fair to all manufacturers up to this day.

After 18 years?

Here we are.
16 different manufacturers, with more to come
Well over 300 different toys in stock.
Constantly adding more variety and improving the ways to find exactly what you are looking for.
Handling orders from all over the world.
…except maybe Vatican city.

Now, your favourite, yiffy toy -shop has finally come of age.

Discounts

We celebrate this with discounts on many Furrystyle toys
We also lowered or discounted some Exotic Erotics prices of toys included in the last delivery, thanks to the favorable exchange rate back at that point.
Some FlurbMe prices are already lowered for that very reason.
Why not more?
Being fair to our customers means not selling at higher prices, so we can offer huge discounts at specific times.
Being fair to our manufacturers means not selling cheaper then they do.

Celebrating with an old favorite

We also tried to welcome back an old FurryStyle favorite in time.
Sadly this will take a bit longer.
We will not sacrifice quality to meet a deadline here.
It’s done when it’s done.
Stay tuned!

Just as every year, we will be on vacation and there will be no shipping from 2023-12-17 until New-Year. Orders played during the holidays will be shipped after New Year.

Last orders

The last shipping will happen on 2023-12-16 for orders played and fully payed on 2023-12-15 20:00.
If you select DHL Packstation, please make sure to include your DHL Postnummer in the address.
if you select Hermes Shop2Shop, please tell us about what Hermes shop to select via email. (Hermes wants a delivery address AND the shop.)

Last custom orders

FurryStyle will no longer accept custom orders to be finished this year effective today.

Deliveries before the holidays

We are awaiting one last delivery by Sidewinder Creations and by Bad Wolf before the holidays.

DHL situation during Christmas

At the moment every DHL post office is crowded. If you can, please select a DHL Packstation instead of having anything delivered to a selected post office.
Because if you do, expect very long waiting queues.

Amazon.de

We will shut down our presence on Amazon on the 14th of December.
This step is needed because orders made there would have to be shipped in less then 7 days and that is not possible while we are enjoying the holidays like everyone else.
Amazon will be reactivated before or very shortly after we return.

We got a delivery of Sidewinder Creations toys (English / German).
A but delayed but still in time for our appearance at Eurofurence.
(We are however still waiting for a highly delayed DPD shipment from Bad Wolf)
All of the 56 toys are back in stock.

(Yes, postings in the category „Disturbing Dildo Deliveries“ are basically copy&pasted.
There is just nothing original to write about such a thing but many people are waiting
for toys of a specific manufacturer to come in, so it’s important we post these.)
