ALSO - you can print out a form and send it in and you can get back $9.95 instead of the cookie magazine free for a year - just scroll down on the home page and where you see cookie magazine - you can click refund details! What a deal!

Same here. I do NOT need a BV, I want a Radian XT when they come out. Now if they could put the Shannon cover on the XT...well then I'd be in heaven! I love that cover. :love:

I was in the same boat, didn't really need it, but bought it anyways. I do NEED a Radian though, preferrably the XT when it comes out for Evan. He wants the red one, but AJ liked the flower one. ;)

If I ever want to fit more than my two kids in our backseat than I need to get another Radian. I don't like the red cover, I actually like the look of the beige/black combo better. If only they went for my black/navy hibiscus print idea! Maybe someone can sell me their Shannon cover so I won't live in fear of it being discontinued before I do buy a BV. :whistle:

Congrats on your new unneeded purchase, welcome to the club! ;) I did sell Ilana's MA this morning so at least I'm even and a little ahead from selling that. :p

I should've done that instead of buying a whole new BV! I thought of that AFTER I bought it, lol. Evan likes the red, so that's what we'll get. :) I hope it's more of a red instead of that purply color it almost gets online.

I wouldn't mind the red too much, but from the ABC pics it looks like it's made of the same kind of fabric as the Super Cool cover. I really want a plush cover for DS. And blue. With a cool design. Seriously.

ETA: Just saw that the red and dark gray cover are the super cool mesh. Darn. :(

I just got the same thing, I'm so mad! They must've put the wrong price, but shouldn't they still honor that? Good thing I didn't sell my BV yet, off to look for a girly cover for it. :mad:

That's BS. You better believe that I would become that company's worst nightmare. Frankly, I'd tell them that you DID sell your other Boulevard knowing that this new one was coming. I'd be way angry. I'd definitely call and make it clear that you expect them to do something about it.

That's horrible! :eek: It's one thing to catch the mistake after a couple of sales, but come on, what, over 85 were sold!! So all those people are now getting screwed!

Remember when somebody on here got a Safeguard seat for $29.99? That site held up the price even though it was a good $200 off!

I just got that email too - i replied and asked them where my car seat was and that I will not go and reorder like they suggest for $150 more!

thepeach80
10-07-2008, 08:45 PM
I just mentioned that I knew several other people had had their orders cancelled as well so it wasn't a credit card error as they would like me to believe. I also mentioned I sold my dd's seat b/c of this (which is true, I did sell her MA) and that this is the first time I ordered from them and probably the last. :(

BW1426
10-07-2008, 08:50 PM
I'd report to the BBB.

What crappy business dealings :thumbsdown:

I wonder if anybody will actually get the seat? THIS MAKES ME SO MAD!!!!!!!

I told them called my credit card company and there was not anything wrong with my card. I received the automated response that they will respond in 24 hours so we shall see.

I got a message today w/ a $10 coupon and a note saying it was backordered? Maybe they sold more than they had? I'd be interested to know if anyone got one, so far no one I know who ordered one did. :( I thought got in pretty early on the deal so unless they just completely screwed up the # they had, I thought I would've gotten one.

Sounds to me like there was a typo somewhere and instead of honoring it they are coming up with any legitiment sounding excuse they can. Seriously they think $10 is going to fix it for you??? :rolleyes:

It does suck but I believe most online retailers have a policy that they don't have to honor pricing errors. It doesn't seem right though.

It happened to me about a year and a half ago with toysrus.com. They had a Little Tikes Log Cabin playhouse online for $75 and it was a pricing error. They cancelled all the orders but after a flood of complaints they honored every order.

thepeach80
10-08-2008, 12:27 PM
So I got yet another e-mail stating it was a pricing error and their policies say they don't have to honor it. They're sending me a $30 certificate to use. So, you think I can use that one, the $10 one and the $15 coupon online all together. :)

I was wondering about those, that's a great deal you got at least!

barnmama25
10-08-2008, 01:15 PM
With your new coupon those could potentially be about $105:whistle:

10-08-2008, 01:15 PM
Well I guess a $30 gift card is nice too though - but I was really excited about the great deal!

Well I guess a $30 gift card is nice too though - but I was really excited about the great deal!

I'm looking for something for the baby maybe. I figured out I can use the online codes I found w/ the $10 certificate they sent me so I should be able to add the $30 too, that's $55 if it's over $100 and $50 if it's only $75.

With your new coupon those could potentially be about $105

They're sold out. :(

10-08-2008, 01:31 PM
Not sold out just up to $309 or something insane! Can someone post the coupon codes out for babyuniverse right now?

Yeah, I know. The first e-mail I got made it sound like an inventory issue, I love how they can't get their story straight. :mad:

BUNL175 $10 off $75

BUDTFN98 $15 off $100

barnmama25
10-08-2008, 01:39 PM
Wow I cant believe all colors of the Como are sold out! And that they no longer even list the other colors. Man am I glad I ordered mine when I did. Now if it would just get here, my tracking hasn't posted yet for today, so I am thinking it must be in the air still.

10-13-2008, 12:54 PM
I got my gc - but I emailed them 2 times -the first time they said within 24 hours - then then 2nd email I sent came back and they said within 1 hour - 3 hours later, nothing - I emailed them AGAIN and it finally came the next morning - maybe they are thinking people will forget...My sister got hers only after emailing...

10-13-2008, 01:40 PM

thepeach80
10-14-2008, 06:03 PM
So they ended up sending me 2 $30 gcs, lol! I'm up to $70 worth of gc, what do I want? Plus there's the coupons if I spend enough. I'm thinking a new booster, but I don't really need one. Maybe I can find a present for someone, or I was looking at diaper bags, I do need one of those for the baby, but I really wanted something gender specific and I can't do that yet, silly, shy baby!

carolinamom
10-15-2008, 09:57 AM
I also got 2!!!! Wonder if they just did that for the people who emailed and complained???

thepeach80
10-15-2008, 11:46 AM
I don't know, but if anyone doesn't want there's I'll take it. :p At this point I'm thinking I'll save it till Jan (before the 7th) and see if they have an infant seat I want. If baby is a boy I'm not as picky, lol.
