Ergobaby insert

Having tried and failed to order the Ergobaby newborn insert from a variety of major retailers (John Lewis, Mothercare etc) owing to a lack of stock, my wife resorted to buying a second-hand one off eBay. She lost the bid in the dying seconds and the insert went for £19. We then stumbled across Born, who offered a 10% discount on a first order and were thus cheaper to buy from brand new than doing so second-hand from eBay - and they had the insert in stock. They also offered next-day delivery, which we needed. The insert arrived promptly and included a hand-written thank you card from the company, which I thought was a nice touch. We were very pleased indeed with the service that Born offered.

great product, great service

I phoned up as I needed help with measurements, the lady was very helpful. The product came promptly and was as described. My only gripe would be £4.95 postage for a small, light item. But otherwise a great experience.

product great, delivery service so so

We ordered a new Leander kids bed for our son. Unfortunately it was then delivered to the invoice address instead of the delivery address, which was the store's mistake not ours. Mistake was rectified when I called and item resent promptly. We're very happy with the bed though, it all arrived in good order.

We are pleased to hear that your item has arrived and that you are happy with it. Apologies that it was delivered to the wrong address, I have looked into this and it appears to be human error, we will be taking much more care to input data correctly in future. Thank you for shopping at Born.

Can't get this anywhere else

I was very pleased to get a spare strap for my old Trip Trap chair. Born was the only place I could find one. I did, however think the postage was rather high for such a small, light parcel.
Thank you for a prompt and easy to use service.

Excellent service!

It was very easy to speak to Born on the telephone when we had a query. They called back and helped us sort out what we needed to do. I do not normally like shopping on line but my experience ordering from Born was so good I may use on line more. I felt their service was personal helpful and as good as 'face to face'.... Thank you Born!

Don't rely on the answering machine

Took me three days of phoning and leaving messages before someone picked up the phone. When they did though it was fine and the item arrived in reasonable time given it was a special order.

I'd just suggest that the staff check the answering machine more frequently.

No answer to two queries on late delivery

When I ordered online some uppababy accessories, I was told to wait between 4-6 weeks for delivery. 8 weeks later and two unresponded messages later (email and voicemail) I was still waiting. It was only when I managed to get hold of someone in the office to check that my delivery was actioned: they had been waiting on a small item to come in from suppliers. Suggestion: stick to your delivery deadlines for all items, and update customers if there is a problem with one of the items which could impact on other items to be despatched within time.

Utterly trustworthy

Had wonderful expert advise over the phone and the lady was adorable. Te website was a little tricky to find what I wanted but she talked me through it. So important to have our babies carried and nurtured right.
