Best place to buy Frontier 90?

EmilyAnn86 · Jul 15, 2013

I need to buy a Frontier 90 in Congo today. It looks like the price on AlbeeBaby, Amazon, and Diapers.com is the same, $247.49. Am I missing a place with a better price? If not, which of these 3 stores is best to order from? I really need the seat here before Saturday and a good return shipping policy is important just in case. Thanks!!

I just got one on Target.com for $228. If you go to their mobile website, they will give you 10% off a baby order if you sign up for baby text alerts. I was already signed up so I used my husband's phone number. We were quickly texted a code. I also have a redcard so I got an additional 5% off and free shipping. Seems easier to return to a Target store if you need to. HTH!

Justkidsstore.com

Look around on carseatblog.com or carseatkom.com for a Google ad for $20 off $200+

I think if you need it here by saturday and have Amazon Prime that will be the only option that will get it there on time for sure. Albee and Target can be hit or miss with the shipping speed.

Or diapers.com! They offer free 1-2 day shipping for everyone and free returns. Amazon has free returns too, but non prime shipping can be slow. Albee does not offer free returns, so if you might need to ship it back, don't buy it there or you'll be paying for it, and you may not get it by Saturday either. Target's shipping takes too long, at least to me.

Do diapers.com, they can get one to me by tomorrow they say. They let you put in your zip and tell you delivery time before you buy.

Target has them on sale right now for $210.79 and they throw in the vehicle seat protector. If you have a Red Card, you can get an extra 5% off and free shipping. There is also this $5 off a $50 purchase link: http://www.bradsdeals.com/stores/target-coupons

My final price after tax, my Red Card discount, and the $5 off is $211.73!

And the FR90 in Cactus Flower is now showing up for $210.79 at Amazon, too, when you click it as a cover choice :dance::

Where do you see that they include the vehicle protector?

If the OP ended up ordering from Amazon, they can get a price adjustment within 7 days of delivery.

It had a little blurb about it the first time I saw it for the $210.79 price. I wonder if they deleted that later. Oh well, it's not on sale anymore and I missed it since I can't order until tomorrow. It's still that price on Amazon, but then I get charged sales tax, so it would be $230.xx after paying tax.

Hopefully Target will have it on sale again soon.

That's frustrating. I thought Target did weekly sales. Is Target.com turning into amazon with its fluctuating prices? I hope you're able to find another deal.

I know their in-store ad runs from Sunday to Saturday, but online is probably different. I have no idea when the sale started. Well, it's not like I absolutely NEED the seat, I just wanted another FR90 so we would have two seats that my DH knew how to install.

The big online stores all basically monitor each other and adjust prices automatically. Those with B&M locations don't do it as much it seems, maybe because they don't want to have to update their in-store prices as often or price match as easily?

Thanks! I guess Diapers.com sat this one out.

That makes sense that they do that, but it can be exhausting to keep up with it as a consumer. On the other hand, if they'd duke it out a little more, we could get even better prices. (insert evil laugh

Yup-

I've had Amazon refund the difference between purchase price and a lowered price in the past. I'm not sure what their official policy is, but if you are within a free returns period, it's a lot cheaper for them to do it that way!

Diapers.com is owned by Amazon, but I have no idea if they use the same pricing software.
