baby universe lowered their prices

[melniemi]

Now up to 25% off!! VISASAVES still gives $20 off - go through fatwallet for an additional 4% rebate. Madison regent now $192 after those deals!!

[UlrikeDG]

Gah. I'm so tempted! Anyone know if the Regent fits in the 3rd row of the Ody (child over 50 lb)?

[melniemi]

I believe it does and that the captain's chairs in ody's are what cause issues - go order:p

[melniemi]

mossy oak - 209!! then the discounts!

[keri1292]

Anyone know exactly what day/time the sale ends? :whistle:

[Holly]

Anyone know exactly what day/time the sale ends? :whistle:

Thats what I want to know!

[Emily'sMom]

Thank you!!! Got a credit of $9.50 on my cc...
And with my Amazon cc $30 credit you pointed me towards, and the $25 GC I talked BU into when they had those Husky's that mysteriously appeared another couple months back (and then they wouldn't ship).. and then the visasaves $20. The seat is costing me $155 so far.:) Too bad I forgot to do the fatwallet and didn't know about the $10 bucks I'd get for subscribing to the BU newsletter.
You Rule in the bargain hunting!
Thanks again

[cryswilkins]

CRAP, mine just showed up at my door, Oct 2007 DOM :thumbsdown: AND the Mariposa is only 184.99 - $20 that is only $164.99. I am going to have to call. Do you think that they will give me a price adjustment or make me send that Cowmoo back for the Mariposa?

[melniemi]

I don't know. I just ordered a mariposa for 158 after fatwallet!! I pray it has a fairly recent dom - and if not, then I get to buy another seat sooner.:)

[castanuela]

I want a MA for $158 too!! please guide me how? which coupons did you use?

[keri1292]

I don't know. I just ordered a mariposa for 158 after fatwallet!! I pray it has a fairly recent dom - and if not, then I get to buy another seat sooner.:)

I've never used fatwallet. But, I want the price you got! Walk me through it, purty please? :o

[Mommyto2]

Thanks for posting! They are giving me a credit of 19.50 for the two seats I ordered. I ended up paying 378 total for a MA and a Regent

ETA: and I ordered a Maripossa MA for my niece who needs a new seat. :)

[clmchrissy]

How are you getting the addtl 25% off?

[keri1292]

Can you use visasaves with each order?

So, Could I use the code on each MA or one per customer?

I did, but I didn't use my acct through baby universe, just ordered without making an acct.

[clmchrissy]

also do i need to call to get this addtl savings off the regent i ordered friday

[Mommyto2]

also do i need to call to get this addtl savings off the regent i ordered friday

I did it through email, cause dh is on the phone and my cell phone is acting weird. I had a response within 20 mins. of sending the email. But yes, email or call and ask for a price adjustment.

[cryswilkins]

I am calling right now to see if they will do a price adjustment. I am so mad! I wish I would have waited now!

[Mommyto2]

I am calling right now to see if they will do a price adjustment. I am so mad! I wish I would have waited now!

I am sure they will. I emailed saying I ordered seats friday and now the prices were lower and I wanted a price adjustment. The reply came about 15 mins. later saying my card would be credited within 5 days.

[melniemi]

Go to fatwallet.com

If you order each seat separately, you can use the same series as above to get the same price.

Hope that helps!

[SillyLily]

Alright, my husband is going to kill me. Seriously (okay, well, maybe not seriously). :D

I ordered the mariposa marathon. I'm so excited. And I so don't need another car seat.

Does anyone know, does the fatwallet discount apply to the $184 before the visasaves discount, or to the $164?

Wow, that was a great deal.

ETA: Oh, and does anyone know where the location of the warehouse is that they are shipping from?

[cryswilkins]

OK so I called and they gave me a credit, but only for the $10 that the Cowmoo went down. I guess that is fair, but I am bummed that I didn't order Mariposa, that is the last time that I let DH decide on a cover.

[TXAggieTech]

This is insane! I've got to walk away from the computer!

[Niea]

I am sure they will. I emailed saying I ordered seats friday and now the prices were lower and I wanted a price adjustment. The reply came about 15 mins. later saying my card would be credited within 5 days.

Thank you for this!!!!!! I ordered mine Friday too and started getting really ticked off!

Off to email them!

[Niea]

I bought my two Regents in different orders because I wanted the coupon applied to both. I also registered with the site. I had no problems using the coupon twice!

[keri1292]

Thanks! I ordered one and am going to do the other tonight! Do they ever raise the prices during the sale? I'd be bummed to miss out, but I want to put the other seat on dh's card. Cuz, then he'll think we only bought one. :whistle:

[melniemi]

Honestly I don't think this 184 price will last long. Especially if they sell out. I do think it will go back up - but who knows!!

[nhlbluesgirl]

They are sold out of the Mariposa!! :(:(:(:(:(

[keri1292]

Well, poop! :cool:

[linguistmama]

Does anyone know what the DOMs are? I called them and they said they don't know, but I could contact Britax to see what they had been sent. :rolleyes: We need another BV, but I'd rather it not be from Oct 2007 like the pp.

[spokaneCPST]

I must have gotten my order in just in time!! Now, what to do - I have a Mariposa seat coming for my LITTLE BOY! I guess his sister will get the Mariposa and I'll give him the cowmoo.
This sale was just in time. We travel March 15 to China for his adoption!
Renee

[melniemi]

What a great deal! Good luck with the adoption.

[Monzie]

Has anyone else recently signed up for the newsletter? How long did it take before you got the email with the $10 coupon? I've been killing time for the past hour or so but, so far, nothing. I'm just afraid they're gonna sell out of my seat while I'm busy obsessively refreshing my inbox, hoping to find that darned coupon. :rolleyes:

[indigoblossom]

aw, you all bought up all the mariposas. i would have been happy getting it for $!84 because i haven't ever seen a MA for so cheap but by the time i seriously considered it (i had already ordered the all-star blue one from amazon, which is why i delayed) they were sold out :(

at least you mamas all got a killer deal!

[Niea]

Babyuniverse called my house and said they were refunding me $9 per seat. I'm surprised they called in response to my email. Oh well, at least I'm getting some money back.

[tumblebug]

All of the cute covers are gone!! :eek: :( (The mariposa lol)

I think the info came up in a pop-up. I saved it:

I don't know if the code is the same for everyone or not. I haven't used it (don't plan to).

[melniemi]

The mariposa is back - same price 158 after fatwallet and visasaves!!

Mossy oak is 209 so like 182 after fatwallet and visasaves.

Huntington and barrington blvds are 192 after fatwallet and visasaves!!

Go and buy your seats!!!:D

[jen_nah]

Just got my Madison Regent and mine too is an Oct '07 DOM. I called Baby Universe and got my credit and asked about an adjustment for the DOM. They couldn't give me anything for the DOM but I guess for the price it will do. I am sure we will outgrow it before it expires anyways. Seeing as this seat is for my almost 5yr old.

[Synchro246]

What is the phone number for Baby universe? I bought two covers and want a refund of the difference. I can't find the number anywhere on the site.

I filled out an online form. . but it's just like the email.

Interestingly, they didn't email me back, but called instead. I got home to an message on my answering machine saying they will credit my card in 5-10 days.

[Synchro246]

Woot! Done, $12 back :)

ETA-- that makes my sahara cover $48!!! (I split a visasaves discount with a friend--we ordered two covers) For $240 I got a Regent and a spare cover. AND I think the sahara looks fine with my black straps so WOOT. WOOT.
AND
I see that my neighbors Britax came today. OOOOOOOooooooooohhhhh I can't wait to see what she ended up getting!

[Minniemouse]

Stupid question... do I need to use a Visa card to use the VISASAVES code?

AND.. how do you use the VISASAVES code w/ the $10 off code from FatWallet (BUNL175)?

[Synchro246]

you can't use more than one coupon code. There was some chatter in another thread that indicated that it's possible to use the visasaves without using a visa :thumbsup:

[Niea]

I used the VISASAVES code for both my orders, and paid both times with my Discover card. :thumbsup:

So no, no need to actually use a Visa ;)

[Calideedle]

I got my Regent Onyx Cover just now and it is missing the Belly and COmfort Pads :( But BU is mailing them out to me......

Now do I want to buy a BLVD? Or stick with my Marathons????

It says they are supposed to come with it, kinda weird you didnt get yours either!

[Minniemouse]

Okay so how is everyone getting Regents for $192? I've gotten mine down to $209 minus the fatwallet discount of 4%.... just trying to figure this all out before I hit BUY!

[Niea]

Which Regent are you buying?

Last I looked, only the Madison was reduced in price. With the VISASAVES coupon, it comes out to $200, then the fatwallet discount gives you another $8 or so, making the total $192.

If someone is doing it with the other covers, I'm not sure how.

Yeah, I just figured that out...if I had waited 5 minutes to post I wouldn't have had to! :rolleyes:

I'm buying the Regent for my ds so I'm going w/ the Huntington which is $10 more.

I think I'm just going to pick it up through Amazon for $201.68, that way I don't have to deal w/ any rebates!

[Minniemouse]

WOW... Amazon has the Onyx Regent on sale for $185.99!!!

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000A1CLVA/ref=pd_cp_ba_1?pf_rd_p=278285601&pf_rd_s=center-41&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B000WJNBYG&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0NZMBJHCCFRJK9AJ507G

ETA...Sorry, it is through Baby Age and they are charging $9.99 shipping.

I was thinking of getting the Onyx instead for $15 cheaper but for $5...not worth it, I'll stick w/ the Huntington.

[Synchro246]

The onyx was $212 to start then Visasaves brought it down to $192. I was too lazy to do Fatwallet (cause I've never heard of it until now and it's like me to avoid unfamiliar things)

[luvmykidsx3]

I posted this earlier, but haven't seen a response yet....

I am wondering if you use the Visasaves coupon when going through fatwallet, if you still get the 4% rebate, because the rules say using an "outside" code could negate the rebate. Does any one know?

Also amazon now has the regent right now for 185 w/ free shipping (purchased through amazon and no longer babyage)

[Minniemouse]

I got mine here and it is free shipping through Amazon

I searched but couldn't find the less expensive Onyx w/o the $9.99 shipping charge from Baby Age. When I was in the middle of the purchasing process w/ the Huntington, the Onyx then came up w/ that price w/o the shipping!

I ended up going w/ the Huntington. I prefer the plusher seat cover long term. Ds is 2yo so he's going to have this seat for the full six years!

[Synchro246]

It says they are supposed to come with it, kinda weird you didnt get yours either!

So I called and :mad: They want me to return both covers so they can mail out two new sets. WTF? I said NO. I asked why they couldn't just mail out the belly pads and shoulder pads and he said he'd have to "submit it to their research department and get back to me in 1-2 busniness days". :mad::mad::mad:

[Monzie]

Does anyone have any idea how quickly Baby Universe is shipping orders? I bought a Barrington BV yesterday morning and my CC was charged but my order status has been listed at "Being Processed" since mid-morning yesterday. They say that means my order at the warehouse, awaiting shipment. C'mon and ship my seat already, BU!

Also, do we know where their warehouse is located and whether they tend to always use DHL for carseats? I'm going to my visit my parents next week, so I had my seat shipped to their place. But now I'm worried that BU is dragging their heels and won't get my seat delivered before I have to drive back home (300+ miles). If I have to make a special trip back just to pick up my carseat, I'll spend as much $$$ on gas as I saved in this sale. Gah! Why did the sale have to happen the week before my trip?? Life is so complicated sometimes....

[melniemi]

I ordered my seat from bu on the 27th, it was shipped the 28th, but won't be here until the 5th - delivered by DHL - hope that helps:)

eta - coming from va

[Synchro246]

I ordered my Regent on a Friday and got it on a Tuesday. They are in VA.

[Mommyto2]

I ordered the seats friday morning, they shipped 2 hours later and I had them Monday morning. I am in MN.

I wonder is they are slowing down because of all the orders though?

ETA: According the the tracking thing the orders were supposed to arrive between the 28th and the 5th of March, i was surprised when they showed up, I hadn't even checked the tracking info yet after getting the intial estimates.

[Monzie]

My biggest worry is that my mom lives out in the boonies in Northern WI and delivery companies tend to sit on her shipments (in either Eau Claire or Duluth) until they have enough other packages to justify sending a truck to her area.

When I placed my order yesterday, BU gave me a shipping estimate of March 5 - 11. I'll be there until the 10th and I'm just praying it shows up earlier rather than later.

[Niea]

I ordered my seats on Friday 2/22, so I wasn't surprised they didn't ship out until Monday 2/25. So really, they shipped mine the next business day.

Their delivery estimates on their order status page reflect their typical processing time plus typical DHL delivery time. So the range is a week long. . . you may definitely get it sooner (or later) than the range.

Did I ever mention DHL sucks? I hate DHL with a passion, particulary for residential service because they partner with USPS. It just adds several days and more confusion to the whole process. I work in an industry that does a ton of shipping and we had DHL for a very short while. . but they sucked so bad we broke our contract with them.

Sorry to vent! It's unrelated to the two Regents they have of mine!

[Monzie]

Did I ever mention DHL sucks? I hate DHL with a passion, particulary for residential service because they partner with USPS. It just adds several days and more confusion to the whole process.

What freaks me out about DHL is that my mom lives out on a rural highway that doesn't have residential mail service. Her mail goes to a PO box in town. So if DHL hands the box off to USPS, I don't know if it will go to the little podunk post office or if they'll just say "Oh, we don't ship to PO boxes!" and send it back to BU.

Aaargh. The more I think about it, the worse it all sounds...

[melniemi]

I live in a very rural area and DHL delivered to my door:) They are coming again next week. Don't worry - all will be well!

Did you give your mom's street address for delivery?

What'll happen is the post office will leave a slip of paper in her mailbox telling her she has a delivery, then she has to go to the post office and pick the boxes up.

It just depends how it was shipped. My order status says "DHL with USPS" or something like that. If it's straight DHL with no mention of USPS, then DHL will bring it to the street address. I've had stuff shipped both ways in the past.

It all works out in the end, I just think DHL is a horrid shipping company. Like, my tracking info hasn't updated in, oh, 2 days. But I know it'll show up because it always does. . .then days later the page will finally say it was delivered.

[Monzie]

Did you give your mom's street address for delivery?

Yeah...I only gave them her street address. I left out the PO box number because that usually just messes things up. UPS and FedEx deliver to her door all the time (she's a QVC junkie :rolleyes:) but I don't know about DHL. I guess I'm gonna find out because I just got the shipment confirmation and that's who BU used.

Yeah, its really handy when the tracking info goes from "Origin Scan" directly to "Package Delivered" with no updates in between. Makes you wonder why they even bother. Hopefully, my package isn't going to make a detour through the PO because the shipping info doesn't say anything about USPS.

Now I just need to keep all my digits crossed that it makes it to the northwoods before next Friday.

[natysr]

I've had horrible experience with DHL. I live in a fairly rural town. They always pass it on to USPS who always leaves me a note that it can be picked up from the post office. They always want me there to sign for it, even though I have a signature card on file with the post office stating they can leave packages on my porch. For some reason, and package sent through USPS they will leave on my porch. But, if they are acting as the deliverer for DHL, they will not do it! It is so frustrating because out post office is not open on Saturdays at all! And, I work an hour and a half away from my town. There is no way I can get there by 5:00 to pick it up!
