Order Tracking
You can check the status of your Dr. Bear’s Gift Shop orders by logging into your account. If you placed your order as a guest, you can use our Track as a Guest Feature. If you have an outstanding order, you will see its details. If you have more than outstanding order, you will go to your Order History page, where you will see orders from the past six months. From there, you can click on a specific order to see its details.
On the Order Details page, you will see all items in the order, the shipping address, shipping method, payment details and any return or exchange information. On the Shipment Summary, you will also see the current status and details from the shipping carrier's tracking service for each package.
Occasionally, we may send an order in multiple packages. In such cases, we will provide individual tracking information for all packages, as well as details on the items in each package.
Change in Your Order Status
Occasionally, high demand causes us to run out of certain items. If we don't have an item that you have ordered in stock, we will notify you by email immediately.
Sometimes, an item is out of stock and is not expected to come back in stock, so we must cancel the order. In this case, if you paid with a credit card, we will not charge you for the item or any taxes, shipping or handling charges.

Cookies
Dr. Bear’s Gift Shop uses "cookies" on some Web pages. A cookie is a small piece of data stored on an End User's hard drive but does not itself contain any personal information. Cookies enhance an End User's experience by saving the End User from having to log in or provide information each time he or she re-visits a page on our website and by customizing content based on an End User's interests. An End User can configure his or her browser to be alerted when a site is attempting to send a cookie and refuse the cookie. Dr. Bear’s Gift Shop also tracks End User activity and click-through behavior to provide an End User with a more personalized experience while visiting our Web pages and for more personalized e-mail alerts.

E-mails and e-mail newsletters from Dr. Bear’s Gift Shop
You will only receive email newsletters from us if you have
Made a purchase at Dr. Bear’s Gift Shop
Signed up for a newsletter or Online Store promotions on a Children's National website.
The information we gather from subscribers to our e-mail newsletters (including e-mail addresses) is not shared with other organizations or third-parties. From time to time we may send out e-mails on behalf of these like-minded organizations, but we do not provide them with access to any personal information that you have provided. To provide you with better and more relevant information, we compile information about e-mail response and website usage. This information helps us to better understand our customer’s site usage patterns and what types of content and information may help improve your user experience on the Dr. Bear’s Gift Shop web site. All e-mails sent contain a link to unsubscribe or to modify your profile. You may subscribe or unsubscribe to any newsletter or e-mail communication from Dr. Bear’s Gift Shop at any time.
How we track HTML newsletters
We make use of both "open-tracking" and "click-tracking" in our HTML newsletters (i.e. e-mails that contain text and images). Open-tracking allows us to find out how many people have viewed our e-mail newsletters or Dr. Bear’s Gift Shop promotions. Click-tracking allows us to find out which links were clicked on. This helps us to refine and improve the editorial content of our newsletters, and to provide you with more-relevant information. "HTML-sensing" is used to determine if your e-mail client supports HTML-based e-mails, which usually contain pictures and other graphics. This is employed only if you request our system to detect whether you can receive HTML e-mails.

Dr. Bear’s Gift Shop is extremely protective of the information gathered through its membership and website. Our web site has security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse, or alteration of the information under our control. Our web server is located in a locked, secure environment.
