 Topic: Delivery Lengths (not labour)
Posted: 13 October 2009 at 3:15pm |
Just wondering for general information purposes.
I'm buying my new buggy, I can finally afford it.
There's 3 places I can get it from that I've found to be the cheapest.
kiwibaby.co.nz, babyuniverse or winkalotts.
Just because I can't be bothered inquireing, and OHbaby will probably be quicker. If I order and pay for it tomorrow or thursday, when will it get to me?? And just in case someone has had a bad experience buying big stuff from one of the above please say so.
Dh wants the new buggy for labour weekend cause we are going to the beach and I just sold our 3 wheeler, yesterday. I can survive abit longer with my 4 wheeler, but my DH is a bit umm snobby. lol.
Otherwise I'll wait till we get back. Or I can wait til Next wednesday and go into babysafe in town and get it for $30 dearer. But then I'll know I have it.

I've got big stuff from both Kiwibaby and Winkalotts (car seats both times). Both times they arrived within 2-3 working days, I have no complaints. I've only gotten bibs and sippy cups from Baby Universe so can't compare really

(That said I do live 10 mins from Winkalotts and we got the Kiwibaby thing delivered to work in town so maybe I'd allow another day for stuff to get to the tron just in case)

Well then I've never ordered anything from babystuff but their website does say they usually ship within 24 hours...
ETA - and it's only $1 cheaper from there!

oh and found that kiwibaby takes 2-3 days and babyunverse is the same. So It now depends on whether I can be bothered with kiwibaby again. After the Jolly jumper event.

That's right, I'd forgotten you had issues with that. Oh are you getting the graffiti then? $729 is a pretty good deal

kiwibaby.com Ive had trouble with .. took forever and a day to get a sleeping bag delivered!
kiwibaby.co.nz the stuff arrived the very next day.
winkalotts took weeks (and thats after I emailed them asking where my things were as I ordered them for us to take away on holiday), after my enquiry it took them another week to get it here.
babystuff my parcel came within three days, about the same for babyuniverse.
(Yes I shop online alot!)
Note - you should check they have it in stock, quite often they dont then order them from the supplier, which then tacks on time. That has got me on numerous occasions when I presume as they have it listed, that they have it in stock, when they dont, they go off and order one in, hence the delivery delay.

I know the Dash is in low supply due to the change in factory.... A lot of places have them on order (the kiwibaby in glenfied.. can never remember which one dont have any in the black/grey not sure about the other colours).
DH wont let me upgrade until we are actually pg again  I WANT NOW!!!!! Dont know whats making this 2ww longer, wanting a bfp or wanting my new buggy LOL.

Hi, have you tried Baby on the Move? We found that sometimes her prices are cheaper. I think the one in Hamilton is out Chartwell way. I just got a Dash - and I feel naughty as there was nothing worry with my other pram!!!!
