Split Order
We will organise your shopping into two segments:
Instalment 1 - the limited number of 'must have' items that you will need as soon as your baby is born
Instalment 2 - any items on your order that you won't need immediately.
Delayed Delivery
Delayed delivery allows you to order the 'must have' items in advance to allow for any lead times but to delay delivery until the last minute.
- You can choose to purchase any items you know you want, no matter what, in advance and simply be credited when those items are bought for you as 'gifts'
- You can leave the decision as to whether the gift is sent to you instantly or at a specified time when the list is ‘closed' to the person buying the gift who can choose to pay a little extra for immediate delivery or not as the case may be;
- You can choose a cut off date, at which point you want gifts delivered but still keep your list open, so any further gifts bought will be delivered at the buyer's expense.
- Or, you can, of course, combine any number of these methods to suit you.
If you have your ‘baby shopping list' with us as well as a gift list, not only is the gift list service free of charge, it also means you can keep your options open so that you can duplicate items you are buying for yourself onto your gift list, in which case, we refund you anything you've paid if that item is then bought as a gift. It sounds a little complex, but it works well in practice! .
