Buying here vs Buying Online on baby stuff

[clueless]

^, ^^ ay ganon? May friend got a pair for her daughter before, ok naman daw. But she was just learning how to walk then.

Yung garter kasi ng ipanema ang bilis lumuwang so laging natatanggal ang tsinelas. Tapos napigtas pa yung isang garter. Yung havs naman parang may buckle attaching the garter to the rubber diba? Natanggal din.

The roxy ones kung nadalin mabura ang print i guess ok lang with me kasi pambahay lang naman. Pero yung nadulas is what concerns me.

I will check sa landmark later kasi the roxy pairs i got online yesterday eh sa june pa ang dating.

[scents01]

^yung sa akin sis ha..hindi ko alam kung sadyang madulas yung daanan sa may office namin, e preggy pa naman ako noon, kaya balik havs ako..napansin ko lang, isang derechong flat lang yung sole ng roxy vs. may marks na sole ng havs..im not sure if it is the culprit, o sadyang iba lang talaga ang texture ng buong tsinelas..

Ang pangit pangit na ng roxy ko, mabilis ding mapudpod e ang nipis lang nun..

[sexytabachung]

^ so true. madulas ang roxy sis.. i thought before dahil lang nasa wet area kami dahil nga we used it sa bora. pero nung pinambahay ko na yung roxy ko, madulas talaga siya. yung sa daughter ko sa room lang rin niya ginamit kasi ayaw na niya gamitin outside, ang panget na daw  sabi niya sakin, favorite daw niya talaga fitflop then havs then ipanema..

[clueless]

^, ^^ i will see about the roxy ones. Baka gamitin na lang niya for her afternoon walks in our condo compound. At least pavement so medyo may traction siguro. Unlike if inside the house, the floor is smooth.

I was finally able to complete a transaction with old navy yesterday so i got more of their flip flops na $2.50 lang. At least ito kung masira agad, ok lang kasi cheap lang. Hehe. Nasayangan kasi ako sa ipanema and havs kasi both super daling nasira, pero mas tumagal ng konti ang havs.

On the escalator yesterday at greenbelt 5, a mom was carrying her toddler. My daughter pointed at the other kid's shoes. They were cute nga naman. I asked the mom where she got them. Gap daw. When i got home, i checked gap.com and saw the same sandals selling for $9.95. They're jellies. I got feedback before that gap's jellies are super uncomfy so i havent considered buying. But the mom said mukhang comfy daw on her kid and super lambot and flexible. I wanted to get sana at gap.com but only sizes 8 up are available. Too big naman. Umaandar ang OA tendencies ko, i thought if buying for use in the future. Hehe. Yan minsan ayaw ko sa online shopping eh.

^sis kung nasira yung havs ng baby mo due to factory defect, they will replace it for you (: They replaced the strap of my niece's havs, 3 weeks processing time..

Ang mura nga ng old navy order mo sis..nakakamiss magonline shop, nakakaaddict, next on my list mga toys for one year old..ang mahal ng branded dito..

[clueless]

^ how do you get it replaced, sis? Yung sa havaianas?

Ako no more toys na mun. Ang dami eh. Hehe. Mga binili ko ngayon supposedly crayons lang plus bottle brushes and straw cups. I got crayola dry erase crayons from amazon. I got my daughter a crayola easel/desk from toysrus here but the crayons locally available like sa national, ang hirap mabura sa easel niya, which doubles as a parang writing whiteboard.

Pero nadagdagan ng old navy stuff (some items on sale qualified for additional 20% off with the coupon code) plus yung roxy.

Nakabili din pala ako before ng wooden puzzles sa chicco store at festival mall, much like melissa and dough wooden puzzles but much cheaper. So i held off buying more melissa and doug stuff muna from amazon.

[scents01]

^dalhin mo lang sa store kung saan mo binili sis, they asked for the receipt sabi ko naitapon ko na (pero nasa bahay lang pala, anyway hindi ko na naipakita)..sabi nila check muna nila for investigation if it is due to factory defect..ang nangyari kasi natanggal yung bilog sa ilalim ng strap, yung pinakagitna, e hindi din naman madalas gamitin ng niece ko..pinalitan din yung strap after 3weeks..hindi ko lang sure kung strict sila sa manila re showing of receipt, dito kasi ako sa province bumili..

Sis magkano yung crayola dry erase?

[clueless]

^ naku, wala na din akong receipt. Sa rustans makati ko binili yon. Don sa buckle nga nasira. Actually, pwede pa naman gamitin, natatanggal lang yung sa may buckle so maya't maya kailangan ikabit.

The dry erease crayons at amazon nasa $5.99 for a pack. I got the big ones. Ganito siya:

And i found other jelliy sandals para from gap.com na may size. Hehe. May 15% off pa with code gapfresh. Hehe. Ok na ako. Di nako restless. Haha. I have to stop kasi our box has to leave the US soon. Tuwing may nadagdag, tumatagal eh. Hehe.

[scents01]

^You can try sis..malay mo tanggapin kahit walang receipt..hindi naman lahat iisiping itago pa yung receipt kasi syempre havs na yung binili, quality for money na, at hindi iisipin na masisira agad..rustans has good customer service din, malay mo sis (:

Ang cute ng crayola, still thinking to buy one for my niece..Monthly ka nagpapapobox sis?

[clueless]

^ will see if madala ko pa sa rustans. Thanks,

Di ako monthly may pobox. Siguro once every quarter lumalabas meton. At hindi ako solo. I share with my friends.

[traveltechie]

most of my friends with babies order online kasi they wait for promos / sales kaya mas mura lalabas, though they have to wait for a month or so when they pre-order thru me.

cute ng items from carters.com and baby gap

[stormy]

^nagsimula ako sa ganyan sis yun thru online seller na preorder. May mga items nga lang ako na gusto na isang item pa lang ang maise-save ko na pwede ng bayad sa 1 smallest sized box ng pobox kaya ayun dun na nagsimula


 

[clueless]

^ correct. ako din sa online seller nagsimula thru pre-order. tapos nasayangan ako sa shopper fee. haha. kaya ako na mismo ang bumibili ngayon.

pero pag wala kaming naka-sched na box tapos may sale na at na low EQ ako at di makatulog, i pre-order. pero very minimal na ito. haha.

iniipon ko na ang needs wants ko ngayon para sabay sabay pag nagpa-box ako. ang maganda din kasi, since i share the box with friends na medyo kasing addict ko din, naka-timing ang mga box namin to maximize sales din, or depende kung may events like halloween. hehe.

[traveltechie]

^i became a personal shopper via pre-orders sa US coz I wanted to buy stuff there too

i notice most customers are ordering baby stuff talaga, kasi it's a lot cheaper nga pag on sale and super cute too.

minsan lang nakakainip talaga mag-antay ng box

[DV]

I've only bought one item online from overseas at sobrang laki ng tax. When you fill boxes of several items, paano ang charging ng tax nun? Hindi ba lumalabas na sobrang mahal din?

[clueless]

^ did you have it sent straight to the philippines? Malaki talaga tax pag ganon.

The ones i send via po box, walang tax dito. Parang regular door to door balikbayan box. Just pay for the box, kahit anong magkasya don. No tax when it gets here.

Some stores lang would charge US taxes, 8.75% in CA. Yon lang binabayaran kong tax.

[DV]

^Yea, I did.

Yung shipping charge ng box, is it by volume or weight? Thanks for the info.

[clueless]

^ by volume. $75 for po box's biggest box.

[DV]

^Not bad a. Thanks, clueless!
