We ordered nappies which never arrived, then they stopped talking to us & after 3 months of trying to get either the nappies or our money back we had to go back to our credit card company to have the money refunded.

Approximate cost: $148.50

Thanks for the feedback you left very helpful

We had the similar issues. Please do not order from them. They even agreed to refund our money and then did not. Now we have to take it to our banks another hassle. Last thing some one want to deal with when they are expecting a baby. The owners of this business should look after all of their clients..shame on them :(

I am having the same problem now! We ordered our nappies at the beginning of October 2012 (and the company said they would be delivered in October) and paid using PayPal. We got several excuses as to why they had not been sent: hard drive crashes, busy with Xmas orders, they were allocating stock......it is now February and I am still waiting! I only just discovered this site today and have come to the realisation that I will probably not get my nappies or my refund. I'm so disappointed :(

Great, they had the order dispatched straight away. No issues with the product and everything got to me without a hassle.

Approximate cost: $30

We ordered our nappies in July for August delivery and still nothing. No response to phone calls or any other form of correspondance to indicate when the delivery will be made. Very disappointed with the service - prompt to take the payment but lax in providing the nappies.

They have since advised they will provide a refund - however that was over a week ago and NOTHING has happened. Terrible customer service. Stay away from this incredibily unprofessional outfit. Maybe they're going broke.

Approximate cost: $310

Hi Sams24,
My recommendation is to go back to your credit card company or bank if you paid that way as essentially it is fraud by taking someone's money & not delivering goods.

My bet is they are going under, I did see a blog from Jayne who is travelling through Las Vegas so its good to see our money being used for the right purpose rather than getting us our product!
Cheers,
Dave

Same thing happened here. Ordered bumgenius nappies in January for $600 which never arrived. Lots of promises and delays still no nappies. Has promised refund for months, have finally received $300 but the rest she is not sure where it went. Unable to reach her on the phone, doesn't answer or return calls and is very slow at email replys.

In my case Paypal won't help with refund as past 45days, tried fair trading but they are fairly powerless, ACCC will make a note of it and do nothing further at this time. Parent company Cotton babies were helpful and said they would have a word with her. Unfortunately can't pursue Credit card company as payment was made through paypal.

Avoid this company for nappy purchases, through google you can find many others. Make complaints to the ACCC and fairtrading so that they know about her. And tell the parent company about your issues. Next stop for me is a debt collecting agency.

Same experience...same on the company..terrible. I will write to the commerce commission to take down their service to charge card not present transactions.

Jayne at Nurture Nappies is great at answering emails if you have any queries. They stock fantastic brands of MCN's and have good package deals. They also have free postage on some days, which is a favorite of mine.

Jayne at nurture nappies never replies to emails or phone calls. She took payment for my nappies and didn't provide the goods. I would not trust this company at all.

Safe and secure online shopping for lots of MCN needs and other baby needs. Fast postage and easy, no fuss service.

sams24 27 Sep 2012

No fuss service? I wish we had that experience. We paid 2 months ago and NOTHING has happened. Terrible outfit

When my best friend had her first child I ordered a bundle of these nappies for her. After using all of them up she went to the shops and bought regular nappies as a lot of mums do. After using the supermarket nappies for a while she wanted the nature nappies contact so she could order them for her baby as she said they were so much better quality. Great product!

Approximate cost: $5 - $30

WORST experience ever. We ordered Bumgenius nappies in November and its now APRIL 1 and we have NOT GOT OUT NAPPIES. Each time, they give us a new reason why there is a delay. An absolute disgrace. Our baby is now 4 months old. What a joke. Going to cancel and take our business elsewhere. i suggest you do the same!!!

What is going on with this company? We got great service when we bought nappies for our first child in 2010. This time around we have been waiting since May 2012 and have heard numerous excuses but received no nappies or a refund. The latest excuse is that the nappies were posted over a week ago and must have got lost in the post. We also will be reporting them to Fair Trading. Wish I had read these reviews before ordering and paying.

sams24 27 Sep 2012

Who do we contact to investigate this company. Is there an ombordsman or something?

olivia105 13 Nov 2012

To try and get some help, contact department of fair trading, the ACCC, and the parent company Cotton Babies Wholesale which make Bumgerius nappies.

You can also look at debt collection agency's.

Great service? Are you a employee? We ordered nappies in November 2011 and its now April and they still have not been sent to us. WORST experience ever.

Nappies arrived the following day with a courier at my doorstep. Very fast and immediate processing of order with an email sent as soon as I ordered and paid. Wow!

I recently ordered some gorgeous modern cloth nappies for the second time from Nurture Nappies and couldn't speak highly enough of this fabulous business. I placed my order late Thursday night and received the nappies on my doorstop on Monday afternoon! The products are excellent quality and they are very knowledgeable in regards to the nappies and accessories that they sell. I will definately be ordering more nappies from Nurture Nappies in the future :)

Approximate cost: $125

Please read my entire review on this company as I've updated my opinion...

Modern Cloth Nappies - that's what this Australian family business specialises in!

I've found them to be very helpful and knowledgeable about their products, especially when I first started my investigations into using clothies on my baby. They have a great range of carefully selected items, and I've been very happy with the quality of all of my purchases to date (nappies, wool cover, biodegradable liners, change mat, mattress pad, swim nappy, wet nappy bag). The items arrived very quickly when ordered (I'm in WA), and their communications with me have been very good.

They also have a Facebook presence and email a Nappy Newsletter if you're interested. It's worthwhile subscribing, as they often run some great specials, as well as offering FREE shipping on occasion. As many of my purchases have been small - the free shipping offers have been great for me! They have a sister site - Tribe (beautiful gifts for "little folk") - and they run cross-promos for shipping sometimes too.

Friendly and helpful staff, quality products - one of my favourite cloth nappy businesses!

**** Okay - so now an addendum to my original rave review.... ****

I originally purchased nappies from this company in 2010 (with some further purchases during 2011) and was extremely happy with the service I received at the time.

However, all that changed in late 2011...

I had a warranty issue with a number of nappies that I had purchased and it took a total of 6 months and many, many, many emails before I finally received a refund. This company really tested my patience and I became so frustrated, that I was one step away from lodging a complaint through consumer protection.

I'm afraid that Nurture Nappies have burnt their bridges with me.

I've had the same experience. Paid in July, nothing by end of September. Backyard operator methinks. Better off on eBay

jessm13 29 Sep 2012

I've also had the same experience. Ordered in April and still no nappies. Have been promised a refund but have still not seen this either. I would not recommend this company.

we to are in this mess- ordered in March with many unanswered phone calls, unfulfilled emails and out of pocket $310. still waiting for refund ha!

I used their lay-by service for a few covers and soapnuts. Easy to use service. Great deals on the covers. On completion of my lay-by the covers had been reduced further on their website, meaning my lay-by would have been $30 less if using current prices. I sent an e-mail asking about this and when my order arrived today I discovered 3 extra wraps. Thank you!
I'm in WA and it only took 24 hours.
Very friendly service and I will be using them again.

Great service and very easy and helpful to deal with, especially if you're a 'newbie' to the world of MCN's and need some guidance along the way. They have an excellent and ever changing range and also have a lot of specials and free shipping promotions etc on a regular basis. They have flat rate shipping which is very fast and efficient - not necessarily cheap only if you're only buying something small but great when you're buying a few things. I personally tend to take advantage of their free shipping promotions when I'm only making a small purchase so the cost isn't an issue to me then in any case. I made my first purchase from Nurture Nappies about 3 and a half years ago and have been coming back ever since - a very happy customer :-)

I have waited for an order for ages with little communication as to when I could expect it. Questions I asked (via email) were not answered. The product range is excellent though and they have good sales.

I've bought some modern cloth nappies through Nurture Nappies recently. I think their website is very informative, and they were also really helpful when I rang with questions as I had never bough cloth nappies before. The only downside was the delivery time - I ordered some colours which were out of stock, and it wasn't explained to me quite how long the wait would be. I rang up a couple of times to check and once I knew that colours were the hold up, I was happy to just switch to a colour they already had in stock and it was then sent straight to me. The communication over this could have been better. Otherwise they are great though, and the delivery came with some very sensible suggestions and tips on washing etc - perfect for a first timer.

The website is easy to use and plenty of information available on all products. As some products i wanted were in backorder, i was contacted and able to modify my order to my time frame. Delivery was prompt. Prices really reasonable. Will certainly be using them again!

My initial purchase from Nurture Nappies was an order for a set of 4 Mother-ease Airflow nappy covers and a nappy bag. I have since bought a second set of these covers for the next size up for my little boy. They are excellent to use with terry towelling nappies. Nurture Nappies provide great customer service, prompt delivery, competitive pricing and quality products. I was also pleasantly surprised with a nice value-add to their service which was an email thank you $10 discount off my next purchase for referring a friend to them. It was a lovely surprise although they had already won me over with their great products and service. I am a avid greenie and love their business ethics in regard to the environment and it's just great to be able to support a good local north qld business.

Fantastic website - lots of advice. Great range and super quick postage. Also I've received some excellent advice by email from Jayne the owner. Highly recommended:) I've ordered from them about 5 times.

Love the 48 hour delivery! Being in WA it often takes weeks for parcels to arrive from the east, but this came so quickly. Will definitely be a returning customer - thankyou.

I've bought a couple of orders from Nurture Nappies - their range is second to none. Anything you could possibly want for cloth nappies and more. If you sign up to their mailing list you'll receive discounts too. Definitely recommend them their customer service is great.

I have been very happy with the service and range Nurture Nappies has provided over the last few years. Competitive prices, excellent customer service and advice freely given as needed and asked and also a constantly updated range of products including the long standing brands which have stood the test of time. They also have regular specials with %'s off etc and free shipping every so often which I find very handy for those times where I am just wanting to purchase one or two items. Overall have always been very impressed with this business. Very professional too. Thanks NN!
