RE: leapfrog
this has got to be one of the most incompetent company out there. i received the packages from vpost on sat. according to leapfrog, all items were shipped in 2 packages and both received by vpost and were the 2 forwarded to me. well, guess what? the order was incomplete!!! some items are not here and they were shipped in a 3rd shipment with a new invoice, new tracking number etc!! *argh* no more, i wont order any more from leapfrog or use vpost. vpost services left a lot to be desired too.
i will either ask BIL to buy when he flies into US or mail order, ship to a friend and ask them to mail to me.

RE: rainforest jumperoo
hubby set it up on friday night. put paige in it, and she almost disappeared. haahaa. she's still a petite munchkin. at the lowest setting, she can barely touch the floor, and even that is on tip toe. she will be able to play in it fully in abt 2-4 weeks. right now her idea of playing in it is chewing the side of the seat.
can i check with mommies who bought/rented this... that butterfly thing, is it hanging or suppose to be "standing". it is just hanging there looking so sad leh.

Jete,
Sounds like Leapfrog very bad. I think it is true and actally had ever wrote to them.. their reply was slow n never answer to the point... No choice cos the books are now very cheap.
Had also wrote to vios sales, reply are fast but too bad, i dun need system, need the books. They r very unhappy with leadfrog too for undercuting them going direct and selling even cheaper..
So it is better to ship via CGW?

disorganized, unprofessional, incompetent, couldn't care less, the list goes on. i will never never order from them again. i already wrote them emails and complained after placing the order cos they slashed the prices of their "sale" item and refused to price match. it took them over 3w to reply with a std reply (might as well not reply).
dep on your luck, some mommies have problems with CGW too.
oh, and add on the crazy shipping, really dont save enough money for the trouble. my shipping for the 21 little touchpad books + 2 little touchpads + 3 brightlings were about $230.

jete,
So u pay price in full!
I hope ur email would wake them up
abit cos i agreed that they care less abt us since there r so many returning customers.
Today jus try on their <font color="0000ff">read n write</font>, and i mus admit it was really fun.
To get locally is very expensive. Initally i was thinking ur shipping was so Expensive, but come to think abt it, still consider ok as usually the shipping for books range from $2 to 5 per books depending on luck. System will be ard $20-$30. Brightlings, not too sure as din saw pple ordering here, so is still more savings.
Just to chk:-
1. can we pay via normal credit card?
2. The shipping address we put is using vpost address in leapfrog accont rite?
3. After ordering, we need to email vpost on the order so that they arrange for it to ship to me?
Sorry for the qn as sometimes, thinking of ordering things myself but dun noe how to do it.

take the little touch leappad, retail for US$29.99, on sale at US$23.99. so it is about S$36-40 when leapfrog has sale and dep on exchange rate. add on shipping $20-30, you're looking at S$56-70. that's about the price you get when it is on sale at robinsons. i think the shipping for the leappad was more than $20-30 since they are quite heavy and the box is relatively big compare to the books.
1. you have to check with vpost cos i ordered using my US cc.
2. you put vpost US address as your shipping address with leapfrog when you order.
3. you need to provide vpost with the invoices after you place your order. they will matched the parcels when they arrive, ask you for shipping $ to SG then ship to you. this process took more than a month cos vpost was very very slow. the tracking number leapfrog gave me showed that the items arrived at vpost on 13th dec. vpost didn't match the parcels until more than a month later.

the bug looks so sad hanging there. paige shows no interest in it. she finds it more fun to bite the seat. but tip toe (with her big toe) she cannot bounce leh, and she dont know how to turn. she only like the part that can play music and got lights, should have just bought that toy!

Jete,
Thanks. Roughly got the idea. Hehehee..
Had a free shipping code from leapfrog but not sure if it works or not. So for leapfrog acc, can pay using normal credit card lor?
Vpost side, i might be able to get Singpost help as i know few pple from sales on a corporate basis. But not sure if they can help if got problem since diff dept.
Thanks.
If there is no one placing order, i might wanna order on my own before valantine day jus in case there is really a 20% disc for certain titles.

cin,
I don't use bjorn. Mine is a combi carrier. But I guess they are the same... yep, my shoulders and back gets tired real fast, like after an hour of carrying my 9kg boy. Phew! As for the compression of the thigh area, is there adjustable part for that? Jed will have some faint marks on his thighs after being in the carrier but he's not complaining. If Titus can fall asleep in his carrier, I'm sure he's not uncomfortable in any way. ;D I guess using once in a while is alright, if you're concerned about whether it will affect his blood circulation... Do you carry Titus facing outward now? Jed prefers that cos he can see the world and interact with people better that way.

your free shipping will prob work for shipping from leapfrog to vpost USA address. i think leapfrog will only accept cc with a US billing address so you may not be able to use your SG cc. i believe vpost offer a service where it is charged to their cc?
if you know people working in vpost USA will be good. they may be able to help you match your order to the parcel quickly. if you know people working in SG, prob not much help. not very impressed with the people they hired to work there. emailed them the invoices at least 3x and they still email me to ask for invoices.

Jete:
Leapfrog is horrible, but VPost is even worst. My goods are still stuck in USA since I’ve not been able to pay for shipping charges via the VPost computer system. 2 weeks on and the problem is still not resolved. If VPost had a “Most Frequent Caller Award”, I’d probably win hands-down.
Did you order Little Touch books for yourself and friend, or just for yourself? I didn’t think there were that many books available in the range…right now, I’ve only used 1 other book apart from One Bear in the Bedroom.
Rainforest bug (its not a butterfly…). I think its just meant to hang. Its actually safer than have it sticking out, like in the Mega Exersaucer. At least it can’t poke baby in the eye. Baby is supposed to be on tip-toes, otherwise can’t jump. James loves the cameleon rattle at the side more than the other toys on the jumperoo. Personally, I feel that that the music on the Deluxe is much nicer than the Rainforest, and I suspect James feels the same way too! When I had both, he jumped more in the Deluxe than the Rainforest.
An_gal: Thanks. I think my hubby is better with the baby than I am : )
Ocean: I haven’t heard a single good comment about Leapfrog USA. My ILs also had a lot of problems with them. If you really want to get, then best if you were to ask someone living in USA to get for you, and bring over. Also note that their promo codes for free shipping does not apply to orders that consist only of books…

James is now able to inch his way across the mat, while on tummy and moving knees simultaneously frogstyle : ). Can't crawl yet, but I think it'll be soon, once his arms are strong enough.
Wiselyn,
thanks for the recommendation on the ergo carrier. I'm loving it now. the bjorn had been washed and kept nicely back into its box. lol.
don't really feel the shoulder ache, backache when using it. another good thing is that when i cover his head using the ... dunno wat to call it, cover? his hair will go flat unlike the usual defying gravity..hehehe...
i tried the piggyback position. his neck is stable for that but his back still wobbly. i'll need to wait for maybe one more month to try the piggyback again.

cin,
Jaeden already exceeded the weight limit for bjorn, so now the bjorn is white elephant. previously, when i used it, i have very bad shoulder pain within half an hour. not only his thighs will have red marks, even his arms will get it too. but it'll fade after awhile, so, i dun think it hurts him.
Now i'm using the Ergo carrier. I feel that its more comfortable for him. The whole body weight is on the buttocks, unlike the Bjorn which seems to put alot of pressure on his privates. Its more comfortable for me as well, it doesn't apply alot of pressure on the the shoulders. it has a waist strap to alleviate the weight. I should have bought an Ergo in the first place..
i haven lost a single kilogram for the past 2 months. stubborn fats..
but maybe i had gained quite a bit of arm muscles. Jaeden likes to be throw high up in the air, can imagine to amount of arm muscles required? hehe...
