TEDDY BEARS AROUND THE WORLD
The Chelsea Teddy Bear Company ships customized teddy bears to college, university, and military base stores around the world from it's Factory / Warehouse in downtown Chelsea, Michigan.

OUR BEARS ARE WELL TRAVELED
It's a long trip for some of our little teddy bears. Many of our teddy bears will have traveled around the world as many as three times before arriving home into the arms of a grateful little child in Texas, or Alabama, or Michigan, or Florida...
All of our Teddy Bears are designed right here in our factory / warehouse in Chelsea, Michigan.
Our bears are made in China and then sent by the container load to this warehouse. One container can hold up to 20,000 teddy bears!
The bears are dressed and customized at our Chelsea, Michigan warehouse in little military outfits (such as the popular sailor suit) and sent to a military base 'exchange' located in Europe, Asia, or the Middle East.
A soldier purchases the bear and sends the gift back home to a waiting loved one in the States.
