   Liz is fab and I've only heard good things. I wouldn't hesitate for a second.
 Why does it seem weird?

   Some businesses don't take credit card just because of all the fees you get when you have someone pay with credit card.
 Like there is usually about a 50c transaction fee plus they take a percentage out of the total order cost.

   I think the website is run on a relatively low budget and yeah, like other's said - cc fees are a killer.
 But I agree that it doesn't have a whole lot of info about the company... I can confirm that they are good stuff though    |

   They are fantastic!  I brought my MeiTai off her as well, she was very good at keeping me uptodate and was very understanding when I took a bit longer to pay for the sling.  If you have a look on slingbabies.co.nz you will see that they recommend her also.

   nikkiwhyte - have you thought about getting a debitplus visa card from westpac? all you need to do is open an Elect account, which is free of fees if you opt out of paper statements, and do deposits electronically. The debit visa card is tied to the account, so you are only spending money you have. I find it great for buying things online, especially overseas websites like Amazon.
