Nicki's Diapers

post #1 of 13
Thread Starter 
I am considering ordering my entire NB and infant stash from this site. Has anyone in Canada used this site? Would I be better off to find a Canadian site? Did you pay duty?

Also, is this a new thing about BG not shipping to Canada? What is that all about?

I am not Canadian, but I have similar shipping issues.. sometimes I have found that Canadian companies give me a better deal on shipping than American ones..

I recently ordered from Nicki's (and a couple other places).. I thought I got a decent deal.

It might just be easier to order from a Canadian retailer. There are many of great ones.

bumGenius does not allow US retailers to ship bumGenius diapers out of the country. So, if those are the diapers you want, you need to find a Canadian retailer. Shipping will be cheaper as well.

Good luck finding a place to buy your stash.

There are quite a few places that sell bum genius in Canada

Oh thanks for all the replies!
Pinoikoi, I live up near you, but on the Canadian side, so I am always paying ridiculous shipping charges!

I wanted to order from Nicki's diapers because I had everything in my cart, all my diapers picked out and then my DH asked (since the cart cost $700 ) if we would be paying duty and enormous shippng. Good question! Ha! I never ordered that cart full and then posted on here.

Since then I have been looking at parentingbynature.com but they don't seem to have a large stock of diapers, or more like the ones I want they don't have. Also, diapers are SO much cheaper in the States it seems!

I will check out the other links you have shared, thank you so very much!

Maybe there's one near you, OP?

I think we had a thread about Canadian diaper retailers a while back, let me see if I can hunt it down.
Here it is: http://www.mothering.com/discussions...d.php?t=986427

I hear you about them being so much cheaper in the US though - how does that make any sense when the exchange isn't a big difference? I don't know what I will do when we go to buy them, I'm contemplating having it shipped just over the border and picking up, or getting someone in the US to receive it and send it off to me. Sigh...

I want to thank everyone for their help! I just love this forum, you mamas actually made me feel like I could do this cloth diapering thing after I was getting a bit discouraged. I ordered my diapers this weekend from www.parentingbynature.com

I chose this site because they were so helpful each time I emailed them to ask questions and I felt they did good business. I am not sure it was the cheapest option (sigh) but they are ordered now.

I may post a separate thread about my NB stash, and see if anyone has some feedback from me on my choices and what else I need to buy.

Thank you again!

If you are going to order that much, it's probably best that you went Canadian. They can charge customs on anything over $20. That would be a nasty customs bill if they got yours!

I have ordered from Nicki's before. But my friend's dh works in the US so I had them sent to his office. Diapers are quite a bit cheaper in the states. I would think there is a good chance of getting charged duty. The shipping from Nicki's was very fast though.

canadian retailer

I ended up ordering the rest of what I needed from here.
She seemed very nice and helpful and the prices on what I got were the best I could find.

They are local too- you can pick up at Arie's or at the babywearing & EC meetings.
