I know at least some of these are really good deals. To shop at AAFES stores or AAFES.com, you must be a US military dependent with shopping privileges. If you don't know what that means, you don't qualify. ;)

Britax Companion - $165.00 (5 covers)
Britax Marathon - $199.00 (10 covers)
Britax Parkway - $88.90 (“Brownstone” only)
Britax Roundabout - $179.00 (7 covers)

Combi Connection - $139.00 (3 covers)
Compass B510 - $88.90 (2 covers)
Compass Base - $49.90
Compass Booster (B510?) - $79.90 (3 covers)
Compass Infant Car Seat - $119.00 (“Charcoal Plaid” only)

Your account will be charged at the time order is placed. Please allow approximately 14 days for shipment, plus an additional 7 days for delivery.”
Recaro Como - $239.00 (4 covers)

Yes, many of those are great prices!! They do have different Parkway covers sometimes.

Just be aware that this statement may be an understatement: "Your account will be charged at the time order is placed. Please allow approximately 14 days for shipment, plus an additional 7 days for delivery.”

We ordered a computer from the AAFES website on July 15 and the website had that message. The computer finally showed up on September 3. AAFES did stand up to Dell for us and we got all kinds of free Dell things for our trouble.

I have ordered many things from AAFES and usually have been very satisfied. The free shipping, etc. is great!

AAFES is great on shipping & times, but they can't make promises for their 'contractors' ;)
I also have a sneaking suspicion that Computer makers have a formal vacation schedule and is similar to ordering a vehicle from the manufacturers. I found out the hard way that getting an order in August from Dodge was impossible. Our truck wasn't ready & shipped until mid-Sept. (Our PCS move was changed, so it wasn't us being fussy ;) )

Don't forget if you have a catalogue to grab the $5 off coupon for your orders online :thumbsup: I appreciate how easy it is to return something to the nearest BX if whatever you ordered didn't measure up. :love:

I don't qualify--but I think my grandmother might. lol

I wonder...lol

(I'm kidding. Though, if I asked, and she could, she would, but I'm not going to. lol)

It's not against the AAFES rules for a sponsor or dependant to purchase items and send them directly to a relative as a bonafide gift. DH & I have done that many a time for parents & steps b-day & holiday presents. Makes it so much easier & cheaper than trying to mail something ourselves. :eek:

Just thought you'd like to know. :whistle:

I didn't realize AAFES sold Britax. I wish I could have waited to buy my son a new one, but his car seat was broken. I've never looked to see if they sell them at the PX/BX. Has anyone ever seen them there?

Nope, never have been in a B&M AAFES that I've been at. Graco & Costco have been on the shelves.
Could be the new super dooper BX that's going in at Ramstein might have them, but I think it's one of those things that are available only by catalog/Internet order, unless it's been a local return. They have quite a few of not-sold-in-store items that they keep through agents/contractors. :shrug-shoulders:

I didn't know that. I'm willing to bet that my grandmother doesn't know it either. :)

That's too bad, but at least they offer them online! I looked at our PX today and only saw the Graco seats and a few others. Maybe one day they will expand their in-store selection.

When you order from AAFES, they have a "gift" option, just like most other online stores (Amazon, Lands End, etc).

I was debating ordering from Aafes or babyage and went with babyage because the shipping is faster. I am impatient and cannot wait 3weeks or longer. Everything that we've ordered from aafes has taken close to 6weeks.

Seriously?

We ordered a 4-wheeler from them right before (like 2 weeks before) Christmas last year, and were realllllyyyyyyyyy nervous.

It arrived (from the supplier) 2 days later. It was AWESOME.

I didn't buy any seats from this sale. But I wanted to.
